Prettier Grocery Bag Storage

Use an empty Kleenex tissue box to store plastic grocery bags. It is a pretty container and bags are hidden.

Mismatched Socks

I use the drawstring bags that come with some sheet sets, pj sets, etc. to store socks that don't have a mate. Then whenever I do laundry, I can check socks with the ones in the bag to see if there are any matches. After a few weeks, I turn any unmatched socks into dust cloths for the house.

Clearing Clutter

Constant reorganizing usually means rearranging clutter. Consider giving away or throwing out more often. Don't have time? Make a new rule - for every one thing bought, get rid of 2 or 3 things.

Keep Track of Earrings

My three girls are always trying to find a misplaced earring. Since I have a whole tin full of buttons, I had them use the buttons to store their earrings on in pairs. Some buttons will even hold two pairs.

Organize Anything

Between being an executive assistant, business owner and wife, I have become a compulsive organizer! Quick tip: Purchase see-through containers with lids at your $1 store and separate your items out by category, then label for easy retrieval. So far, I've managed to sort items in my bathroom, office and even kitchen this way. It saves time and money.

Memo Book

Always keep a small, spiral bound memo book in your purse. You always have something to write on, the pages won't fall out, and the notes you write to yourself won't get lost, like they do on loose scraps of paper.

Sock Basket

I keep a small basket on top of my dryer, so as I do the laundry, all clean socks go in there. At the end of the laundry day, I can just sort and fold the pairs that match. The loners just stay in the basket until their match comes through on the next laundry day.

Gift Bag Organizer

After birthdays and holidays, save your decorated gift bags. If they're not good enough to reuse, hang them up for sorting mail in your den or storing small toys in your children's rooms. You can even cut one to fit a book; they make great, colorful book covers.
