 It's okay to have a junk drawer!
Many people won't even admit they have a junk drawer because it in someway connotes being messy, even if outwardly they are not. Well, I say you should have a junk drawer. Why? Well, we all need a place to "temporarily" stash papers or our stuff that accumulates on the countertops in the kitchen.
Designate a drawer, a shallow one that holds only your junk (or "stuff"). Divide the drawer with containers to hold keys (put them there everytime you walk in the door), cell phone and charger, pencils, pens, paper, a catchall for safety pins, hair holders, extra batteries (if you have a lot, create a separate place in a utility closet, for example), etc.
Go through this drawer at least once a week and discard or transport items to their permanent home. This junk drawer system can help you accomplish a few things:
- Never misplacing your keys
- Ability to clear the countertops quickly
- A temporary spot for Active items such as cell phones, field trip permission slips, appointment cards, and note paper
