As promised, here are some ideas for small projects for the next 3 months. I find that taking your time to do specific projects and not just jumping into a whole bunch at once, is much more productive.

These are in no particular order but are of equal importance.

JUNK DRAWER

- If you have more than one junk drawer, consolidate everything into ONE
- Empty the drawer and throw out what really is garbage (ie: broken elastics, empty pens)
- Decide if anything can be stored elsewhere (ie: loose office supplies back into the office)
- Get some type of drawer dividers to keep items sorted and organized

BEDSIDE TABLE

- Empty and decide if any loose items can be re-homed (ie: hair ties, nail polish, dental floss)
- Put as much as possible in your drawers so you have a clean and clear surface
- Get some type of drawer organizer to gather all the small items
- Leave yourself a reminder note to put things back instead of dumping it in your drawer because it’s there and it’s easier.

TUPPERWARE

- Remove all pieces and match with a cover.
- Get rid of all the incomplete, damaged pieces bad quality pieces
- Assess if you are using all the pieces you own – if not, time to donate
- Nest the smaller pieces in the larger to maximize space in your drawer

MEDICINE CABINET

- Go through and properly discard any expired items
- Put all “dangerous” items at the top out of reach of children
- Organize prescription medications by person
- Organize over the counter medications by category (ie: Cold & Flu, Allergy)

Simple enough right? And, plenty of time to get it all done.

Please share if you do!
