How to Organize your Junk Drawer Copy

Junk drawers can be problematic due to several factors:

  • Overwhelm: They gather various items over time, making it tough to find essentials.

  • Inefficiency: Buried necessities create a frustrating scavenger hunt, wasting time and increasing stress.

  • Mental Clutter: A messy junk drawer serves as a reminder of disorganization, causing guilt and anxiety.

  • Hiding Place for Unwanted Items: They often become dumping grounds, fostering hoarding tendencies and making organization harder.

  • Lack of System: Items are thrown in haphazardly, perpetuating clutter.

By recognizing these issues, homeowners can turn junk drawers into tidy, functional spaces that improve daily life!

Now that you’ve cleaned out your junk drawer, it’s time to organize! Use Walmart bin inserts for a tidy space. Here’s how:

  1. Select Your Inserts: We like The Home Edit bin inserts from Walmart.

  2. Categorize Your Items: Group items into categories like writing tools, batteries, and more. This helps you know which bins to use.

  3. Fill the Bins: Store items in bins by size—small for paper clips and big for notepads. Keep similar items together for easy access.

  4. Label the Bins: Use a label maker or sticky notes to label each bin, so you and others can find things easily.

  5. Plan for the Future: Set a monthly reminder to declutter and keep your drawer organized.

With these steps and Walmart inserts, turn your junk drawer into a neat, efficient space where everything has its place!
