Quick Organizing Tips

Getting ready in the morning can be stressful when getting yourself ready and kids off to school. If you think about it, when your closet, bathroom and kitchen is organized and you can easily find what you need when you need it and you’ll have less stress getting ready in the morning. On the other hand, if your bathroom, closet and kitchen is cluttered and disorganized, you start your day in a panic, you’re running late and speeding to drop your kids off at school.

Let’s start by getting your bathroom organized so getting ready in the morning is less stressful. I want you to start your day with a sense of calmness.

Product Resources & Tips on How to Use:

The grey drawer organizing unit that I used in the video also comes in white and black.  I buy this product at Staples and Real Canadian Superstore.  Similar drawer organizing products are available at Storables and The Container Store.  Here’s my secret to making this organizing product work under most bathroom sinks – this unit comes in different sizes and you can remove or add drawers since it snaps apart.  How cool is that.  Another tip I want to share with you is to make sure the drawers don’t pull all the way out of the unit.  The Gracious Living drawer organizing unit stops drawers from pulling completely out of the unit, causing all the stuff in your drawer to fall on the floor.  When I buy organizing products, I’m always looking at how the product functions and does it simplify your life!
