How to Organize Your Junk Drawer

There are times in life when things just feel out of control and we realize there is not a lot we can do to change what’s happening around us. But you can make small changes that help you feel a bit more confident about what you can control – like the old prayer says, “Lord, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.”

One of the things you can control around you is clutter. You can make small choices every day to make progress in eliminating the junk piling up in your living space. Nearly every home in America has a junk drawer – that place where we store scissors, rubber bands, pens, pencils, post-it notes, keys, gum, and many more items that we  need to have around the house. But too often, the junk drawer is so cluttered that it becomes unusable and a source of frustration. In this video I will show you how to organize a junk drawer so that it is a useful tool rather than just a dumping ground for items that don’t seem to have a home.
