Organizing guru Peter Walsh offers 7 helpful tips in the February 2012 edition of O Magazine.
1] Make your rooms multitask. (A guest room can also serve as a TV room or office with the right layout and organization.)
2] Focus your fridge. (Use Fridge Binz to organize like items. I actually use these at home and have bought them for several organizing clients.)
3] Use easy counter canisters. (I’m not a fan of canisters on my counter, but if you use them, get a set that allows you to see what you have.)
4] Rethink your linen closet. (He folds the top sheet, fitted sheet and 1 pillow case inside the other pillow case to store it neatly in a package. He also uses only white sheet sets to simplify things.)
5] De-junk your junk drawer. (Instead of a drawer, he stacks clear, labeled boxes to hold tape, clips, batteries, pencils, etc. I organize my drawer regularly while I’m in the kitchen on the phone.)
6] Establish a free-money box. (Put all your gift cards, coupons and vouchers in one place for easy access when you’re going shopping. I use a folder but a bright storage box works too.)
7] Standardize your food storage. (He uses only one brand of food storage containers to simplify the look and lids.)
