1. Prep Your Purse

Repeat after us: YOUR PURSE IS NOT A TRASH CAN. In order to keep yourself from mindlessly stashing things (i.e. crumpled receipts, half-eaten granola bar, a rock your kid handed you), you need guardrails in place. Add an insert that has separate compartments for all your main categories (i.e. wallet, keys, sunglasses, concealer to hide dark circles), and maybe a pouch or two for good measure.

2. Clutter-Proof Your Car

Guess what else isn’t a trash can? Your car. The thing getting you from point A to point B with all the items that go with it. So, yeah – you want to keep it organized. It’s as simple as getting a collapsible case or an over-the-seat organizer,  and packing the items you tend to reach for.  

P.S. If you are driving around with a donation bag in your trunk right now, just go drop it off. It will take five minutes and you’ll feel super accomplished.  

3. Style Up Your Stroller

Strollers have come a long way when it comes to built-in storage, but you know what many still don’t have? A mini flip top trash can, a cup holder that fits your favorite tumbler, and more pouches on command. Thankfully, it’s easy to add your own.

4. Corral Your Cords

Cords are annoying. There, we said it. They tangle, they’re not attractive while plugged in, and not attractive while tucked away. Unfortunately, we don’t live in a fully wireless world just yet, but anything from silicone ties to cable labels will help ease the struggle.

5. Debunk Your Water Bottles

Water bottles are one of those items you seem to acquire over time. They are also notoriously hard to store, since they are bulky and can’t stack. That is, until now. With this stackable storage solution, you’ll be able to keep the bottles and lids together, while maximizing cabinet space.

Bonus tip: Throw in a file sorter for food storage and you got yourself the perfect system for mornings on-the-go.

6. Rethink Under Your Sink

Digging for the dish soap is never fun, especially when it’s lurking somewhere behind the pipes. Luckily, the only things you need to make this space less dark and scary is a few stackable drawers and a turntable. Categorize and contain accordingly, but not before wiping down every inch of that cabinet. Let’s be honest: It needs it.

7. Destress Your Dresser

Turn to the file folding method. This technique turns stacks of clothing upright so you can quickly identify what you have and fit more in a drawer. 

Step 1: Lay the shirt flat in front of you, with the front of the shirt facing down.

Step 2: Fold in the right sleeve

Step 3: Fold both sleeves to the middle of the shirt. Fold the sides of the shirt slightly, it should never go past where the hem (aka the neckline stitching) begins on either side

Step 4: Fold the shirt in half from the bottom hem. 

You’re done! The trick to knowing whether you folded it correctly is if the shirt stands up by itself with the folded side up. Add a set of expandable dividers to keep all the rows neatly contained.
