Word count: 320 Reading time: 2.5 min. Last month, I hosted a raffle and organizing challenge on my Instagram page, @theetailoredlife. I offered a drawer organizer and a mini consultation. The winners sent me their drawer photos, videos, and measurements, and I mailed them tailored organizing solutions. I had three winners, and the results were eye-opening! One winner organized a catch-all drawer for grill accessories. Her husband was so impressed that he now wants to tackle the pantry and bedroom closet, which was exactly her goal. Another winner had just moved and loved the solution for her single large drawer after having four small ones in her old home. The final winner transformed her "junk drawer" and, to her surprise, ended up reorganizing four more drawers. She said, “I had no idea this would have a ripple effect!” Each winner started with one drawer and ended up transforming much more. The takeaway? Just start. Organize a drawer, purse, or glove box—small wins often lead to bigger changes. |

Since all the winners tackled kitchen drawers, here are some quick tips for organizing yours: - Empty the Drawers: Remove everything to see what you have.
- Declutter: Discard duplicates, broken items, or things you don’t use.
- Sort by Category: Group similar items, like utensils, gadgets, and cooking tools.
- Use Dividers or Organizers: Measure your drawer before buying trays, dividers, or bins.
- Organize by Function: Keep items in drawers based on how often and where you use them.
- Label if Needed: This helps maintain order, especially in shared kitchens.
- Maintain: Regularly clear unused items and tidy up after use.
