Organizing Gadgets and How They Can Help | |

When it comes to getting organized, there are many gadgets and gizmos out there and many more coming out all the time. It can be overwhelming to the novice and even to the veteran organizer as to what items are the most beneficial when it comes to getting organized.
Here are some helpful ideas to get you started:
1. Your purse no longer has to be a bottomless pit. There are great organizing gadgets out there now to use for organizing your purse. These organizers come in different sizes and contain pockets of varying sizes to accommodate the variety of items women keep in their purses. The organizers are made for ease in use, and if you switch purses often, just lift out the purse organizer and place it into the new purse. It's that simple. And when implementing new purse organizer, really consider what you need to have in your purse on a day to day basis.
2. Label makers are the ultimate organizing gizmos! Not only can you easily and quickly label all of the files in your filing cabinet, you can label any type of containers with their contents so everything is easy to find. This is especially helpful if you have multiple containers with different items, like craft supplies.
3. Over-the-door hook racks can add needed space in different areas of the home. In the bathroom, use this rack to hang robes, towels and blow dryers. In the bedroom, use it to hang scarves, belts or jewelry. In the mudroom, the rack is useful for hanging jackets, umbrellas, etc.
4. A very inexpensive and easy-to-use gadget is the shelf divider. Dividers keep anything that is stacked in piles, like linens, t-shirts, sweaters, etc., upright and organized.
5. Under-the-bed storage containers can be used to store seasonal clothing or accessories that you're not using, as well as seasonal blankets, sheets and other whites. These containers tend to be longer so you could store certain size rolls of paper and other gift-wrapping supplies.
6. Pegboard or slatboard (our preference) has become a versatile organizing gadget that is especially useful when it comes to using empty wall space to maximize storage potential. Accessories are available to use with the hooks to give you the ability to hang a variety of items. Not only is it great to use in the garage to hang and organize tools, you can make the pegboard/slatboard decorative with paint and use it in other areas of the home.
7. Clear shoe organizers are not just for shoes. These medium sized plastic gizmos are great for storing a multitude of items from photographs to greeting cards to CDs to makeup.
8. Over-the-door pocket organizers are a wonderful way to organize a variety of small items. Many of these organizers contain clear pockets for visual ease in finding an item. Use pocket organizers to store gloves, mittens and scarves. Also consider using it in the pantry to store spices, seasonings and small packets of gravy, etc.
9. Small divided plastic organizers, which are more commonly found in sporting good sections of stores, make great organizing gizmos. They are perfect for storing earrings, bracelets and watches. These containers also work well for storing beads and other small crafting items. |
