Take a toliet paper roll or paper towell roll ( the cardboard roll) and run electrical cords through so they don't become a tangles mess. Can cut the roll to proper size, label as to contained cords( wrap cords with different color bread bag ties).or even decorate to camoflauge tube.

Getting rid of junk mail.

I have a good sized paper shredder, and I shred all the "black and white" junk mail and put it in "used plastic bags for recycle ever week or so. I do not shred the "colored printed" paper because I am not sure that is reusable because of the ink. So I use separate used plastic bags for it. I do this every day, at my desk at home, but it could be done once a week. I also line my shredder container with several bags, and I also keep (under my desk) several used plastic bags.

Holder for Hair things

Any woman or anyone with a daughter knows that hair accessories can get unorganized fast. We've put them in small plastic drawers, which worked, but we found a better way: Take an old Scott toilet paper or paper towel core (cardboard middle) and wrap hair ties around it. You can also put hair clips & bobby pins etc. on the ends. Two glued together make a good headband holder. They can be plain and under the counter or can be decorated (wrapped in decrotive cloth, painted, etc.) and put a base on for sitting upright on a counter or mounting on a wall. Makes a good gift idea as well, decorate to the girls taste & fill up with hair items from a dollar store!

Mirror Messaging

We use the bathroom mirror for lists and reminders. It's one big dry erase board! We keep a dry erase marker in the bathroom and use to make notes for each other and to-do lists. And when all is said and done, it wipes clean!

Don't Leave It

When de-cluttering, keep this in mind: Everything has a home! That way nothing is left lying around making your new organized area look messy.

Gather & Put Away With Ease

I find that if you go in a room that needs a fresh pick-up, gather misplaced items in a hamper and sort later.

Easy List Access

Paint the inside of one kitchen cabinet door with blackboard paint. Then attach chalk on a string with a tack to have a hidden, but accessible place for messages and grocery lists. Glue corkboard on the opposite cabinet to tack up cards, appointments, etc.
