On Clutter-Free Holiday Gifting

11/12/2020

 


​"Give experiences, not things."
"Give them the gift of less stuff."
"Connection over consumption."
​
​

I've been seeing this message everywhere lately, and it could not be more timely. At no time in human history has there ever been more stuff for us to acquire and accumulate. But do any of us really need more items, objects, or things?

Today's blog post is written by guest author, Kammy Lee, certified KonMari Consultant and professional home organizer.

Think Vertical for Desk Supplies

8/25/2020

 
As you are organizing and rearranging your desk supplies, think vertical for storage!  There are lots of ways to vertically arrange your papers and supplies. 

Marie Kondo, the Japanese Organizer, suggests that Komono Items (miscellaneous) be organized vertically whenever possible.  The idea is to be able to see everything, whether you are opening a drawer or a box.  Stacking items generally means that they will begin to get lost, you will forget what you own, and you will start purchasing duplicate items, which only adds to the clutter.  

The goal is not perfection.  The goal is to be able to see what you have easily, find what you need quickly, and return items to their correct spot without a fuss.  This means that every item needs a home!  

Use dividers in desk drawers to separate different types of items.  Small plastic containers, cardboard lids from stationary packages, and even plastic trays that produce comes in may be just what you need for a drawer divider.  The boxes that iPhones come in are very sturdy and work nicely as well.
