How to Organize a Junk Drawer

• Take everything out of the drawer.
• Spread the items out on a counter/table.
• From left to right, take one item at a time and decide if you can trash it or give it away.
• If you decide to keep it, put it in a space above the other items.
• Continue until you are finished.
• Decide whether you need containers/dividers for the drawer in order to organize the items you will keep.
• Return items to the drawer.

Remember: it is not wrong to have a junk drawer. We all have items that can be handy and useful but may not fit a particular category. Even if you just toss these items into a drawer without the drawer itself being overly organized, that is okay. The key is to keep the drawer from becoming so full of unusable junk that you can't open it or easily find something when you may try to look for "that unique item" you "just know you have somewhere."
