Food Container Lid Organizer

Tupperware is a struggle in itself when it comes to kitchen items. Keep that cabinet organized and making sure each vessel has the proper lid – hard to maintain! But with something as easy as a food container lid organizer, everything will be in its place and easily accessible.

Kitchens are one of the prime spaces where items accumulate fast, making it hard to sift through your cabinets and drawers to find that blender all the way in the back. Put an end to the digging with a pull-out cabinet drawer that makes it easy to get to your favorite blender in no time.

If the only kind of glass that you drink out of is a wine glass, then it’s likely that you’ve struggled with creating space in your cabinets to make a home for all of them. Don’t let your glasses take over all the valuable cabinet space, incorporate an undershelf stemware holder that allows you to really maximize your cabinet storage.

Finding yourself having to take out all of your spice bottles just to find the one you want? Not only is it frustrating but it’s also a kitchen clutter nightmare! Investing in a tiered Lazy Susan makes it easy to see, grab, and use the spices you need while cooking.

It always seems like we are fighting for more space in our kitchen…optimize your cabinet space to the fullest with an expandable cabinet shelf. This shelf allows you to take advantage of the vertical space in your cabinets. Allowing you to stack things without making it hard to get to what you need.

Wall Organizers

Floor space is highly valuable real estate in the garage. The goal to an organized garage is keeping items off the floor and up against the wall. A garage shelving system is a great alternative for storage needs while bring order to chaos! Even go a step further and organize your items into labeled bins.

The go-to leaning your bike against the wall approach just won’t cut it anymore if you’re wanting an organized garage…bike mounts are an easy way to keep your bikes off the floor and ready to use for your next adventure.

Really not want to drill holes into the walls to get things off of the garage floor? A tool tower is the perfect solution to keeping your shovels, rakes, and brooms up and out of the way while preventing overcrowding.

Small tools have a way accumulating and end up in the “never to be seen again” plies. Using a pegboard to hang your most frequently supplies is an easy, cheap, and effective way of making sure that all of your tools have a home.

Digital Clutter Tips

Desktop Clean Up

Your computer desktop can get over crowded and distracting fast if you’re not careful. Clear away items on your desktop that are no longer relevant or important.

Never worry about forgetting a password again. Tools like 1 Password ( link https://1password.com/ ) increase your internet security and also make it easier for you to keep track of logins.

When you need to use the internet, don’t get distracted by random news stories or “Favorite” links that inevitably become a time killer. Choose a blank tab, or the basic Google.com to avoid clickbait.

Once a month go through your newest files, images, attachements and delete anything that isnt necessary. Especially with photos, if it’s a duplicate image, or bad quality it needs to go. If you wouldn’t put it in a photo album, you probably won’t ever use it.

Labels Everywhere!

The bathroom can become a catch all place for personal items. Make sure all needed categories are labelled which helps stray items from finding their way into the bathroom permanently.

Not only does inside-the-door storage save space, it’s super convenient for your go-to items like hair dryers and straighteners.

When kids share a bathroom, give them each their own shelf or shower caddy to organize their supplies. This helps keep clutter from spreading so it’s easier to clean on a regular basis.

Hanging towels from hooks helps them to air dry and save space. Anything you can hang in the bathroom keeps your surfaces open for easier cleaning.
