Why is having a junk drawer a mistake? In my opinion, there are 3 major reasons:

1. You can’t find what you’re looking for quickly enough

2. It's easier to lose things, especially those smaller items

3. It can cost you, as you end up buying things you actually already owned just because you couldn't find them in amongst the clutter

Luckily, it's a pretty easy fix to get your drawers back in shape! In today's video I'm walking you through the simple process for decluttering and organising your drawers so that everything is easy to find.

Follow along with these easy steps:

Prepare any necessary organising tools for this project (grab your free checklist on the button below)
Remove drawers from their position if possible in order to see what you're working with
Create some space to spread out all the contents of the drawer i.e. kitchen table, bench, chairs
Remove every item from the drawer, separating and sorting items into loose categories as you go
Clean the empty drawer
Put anything that you can class as 'rubbish' straight into a garbage bag
Decide what to keep in the drawer - move items to other spots in the house if they are not suited to that particular spot
If necessary, create/purchase dividers to separate categories of items going back into the drawer
Put items back in neatly
Stand back and admire the work of a quick 15-minute project.

You can do it!
