How to take back control of your disorganised car

How to take back control of your disorganised car

When life is chaotic and you're going through a particularly busy time, one area that can really suffer is the state of your car. Our cars can often become like a 'second home', but you get to be a bit less rigid about trying to keep it immaculate. This means things get thrown in, mess accumulates quickly and it starts to become a dumping zone that you promise yourself you'll 'get to later'. Can you relate? It's definitely what's been happening with us these last few months! Living through a home renovation has meant our family car has become a lot more disorganised (#revolting) than usual, so today I'm showing how I took back control of the family car... and how you easily can too!

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...

When you think about how many drawers you have throughout your house - in the kitchen, bedroom, bathroom, home office, wardrobe, kids' play areas - it's no wonder that many people find theirs cluttered, over-flowing and messy. That's a lot of drawer space to keep organised! 

The biggest trick to drawer organisation is to make sure everything in your home has it's own place, so that you know exactly what to keep where.
