A common New Year's resolution is to be more organized. This is one resolution you can keep ~ if you start small and don't overwhelm yourself with a huge project at the onset....
Begin with a small but typically cluttered area ~ your junk drawer. Overcoming the clutter in that one small space will give you a sense of accomplishment and encourage you to tackle another project in your home.
Remove all the contents of the drawer and discard those items that aren't necessary ~ You'll be surprised at what has found its way in to that small space! Only replace those things that are necessary, using dividers to separate and organize the contents.
Be creative with what you use to organize the drawer. Vintage muffin tins are perfect for holding paper clips, small batteries, stamps, etc. Not only will you be organized, but you'll also enjoy memories of days gone by at the same time!
Once you've tackled the junk drawer, move on to your linen closet, coat closet or laundry room. You'll be motivated to conquer all the cluttered areas of your home when you see how organized you're becoming!
