One-Hour Project Organize your desk drawers
* Take everything out of the drawer(s).
* Discard the junk . . . old Post-it notes, ATM receipts, broken rubber bands, etc.
* Relocate things that belong elsewhere such as photos or a stray bank statement.
* Group like items together to see what you have. Desk drawers should be used only for things that support you in getting paperwork, projects, and phone calling done.
* Furnish shallow drawers with organizers to divide space. Choose drawer organizers with individual components so you can outfit your drawer with the appropriate size boxes to contain what you are storing-small compartments for paper clips, larger ones for camera and cell phone USB cables.
* Keep small things in shallow drawers. Big pads of paper, envelopes, and spare manila folders will obstruct what’s in the drawers. Better to store these on a shelf. (See entry 186, “Organize office supplies.”)

This book was surprisingly helpful. I expected advice on how to eliminate clutter, but received ideas to store needed items in way that allow more free space within my living quarters. A great resource book.
Reviewer: Veronica
Not only is this a great looking book, it is also very helpful. It comes with some fun stickers to mark some projects that you might want to take on. It is written by someone who clearly understands how "stuff" can take over your home.
