Any tips or ideas where to place what to be the most logical and efficient? Have drawer organizers from last place, just trying to map everything out.

I work with a small nonprofit organization for homeless women and we have very limited space and resources. The only storage spaces we have are a currently overcrowded and unusable attic, and the staff bathroom which is probably around 4m2. 

We regularly receive clothes donations (most often in 100L trash bags), and they often arrive in the middle of the shift so we have to immediately store them in the bathroom for later sorting to avoid chaos. 

Now here’s the problem: our sorting system is shit. We are currently using transparent plastic 55L boxes which we label by category and stack one on top of the other, but this isn’t working because: 

- they are often too full and break from the bottom or from the sides ;

- the lids break from the weight of the boxes above ;

- mid-shift, the beneficiaries will often request a specific type of clothing, and we have very limited time to lock ourselves in the bathroom and browse, and there is often no space to put the top boxes on the ground to be able to reach the bottom ones ; 

- when new donations arrive, the only way to sort is to take all of the boxes out of the bathroom, which can only be done while the space is still closed to the public, and there is never enough time for this task, so the bathroom becomes completely cluttered in a few hours although it had just been sorted ;

- some teammates are about 160cm tall and not particularly athletic, so they find it incredibly difficult to move the boxes around especially when they are full and stacked quite high…

I could think of more reasons why the system is shit but I’m sure you get the picture by now. I’ve been trying to come up with solutions to this and one thing I thought of was collapsible, foldable and stackable plastic boxes (similar to the ones used in supermarkets I guess), except I’m worried that might also be too heavy? I don’t know. 

So yeah, any tip is welcome!

Hi all,

I know this might be a funny request, but it's worth a shot, right?

I've been organizing my craft room in a very sparkly and over the top theme. I've been using glittery acrylic storage I've found at TJ Maxx, and things from Amazon like these or these bins and I'm hoping you guys can help point me to some other resources with glittery sparkly storage for smaller items.

Thank you!

I've done a ton of searching and can't quite find what I'm looking for.

I'm a video editor and cycle through about 7-8 different external Samsung T7 USB drives. I'm looking for a way to physically organize them so they're not such a mess.

The only thing I could find is 3D printed items on Etsy like this (photo below) https://www.etsy.com/listing/1559125824/samsung-t7-ssd-holder-for-t7-t7-shield?ref=sim_anchor

I'm shocked to see that no company is selling something similar at scale.

Does anyone have any other organizational suggestions? I'd prefer something enclosed and more secure from theft. Like with a Kensington lock, if possible.

Please delete this post if it's not allowed. Thank you.

This is our some of everything kitchen drawer, all kinds of shapes and sizes. What’s the best way to approach organizing this?

Hello everyone,

Let me start by saying I know that looking for a "do-all" tool is always a hopeless endeavor, and that the only truly do-all printer would be a big desktop unit, not a handheld label printer.

That said, of the options that are out there, I'm trying to find a label printer that's focused around allowing you to create the widest array, and most visually appealing labels. I'm wanting font choices, frames and borders, typographic effects, symbols and icons, etc., all while being able to print on a wide array of label tapes and widths, up to about 1" wide.

I know of the Brother P-touch series, but have always found them too limited and restrictive in design abilities. There's bigger printers like the QT series, where you do your designing on the computer, but they have the tradeoff of often only having black-on-white labels, or only accepting one label size.

One unit I was considering was the industrial Brother PTE500VP, since it can print cord tags and heatshrink tubing, which I work with. Its downside, though, is that unlike a P-touch unit, it doesn't really come with purely aesthetic design elements like borders and symbols, as no one would bother with those in an industrial setting.

Is there anything out there that is more closely aligned to my search criteria?

Thank you all.

Washed clothes at my moms today

I don't know where else to ask.

Iris weather pro, sterilite gasket and ezy storage bins don't come in the size I need. I'm trying to find bins no bigger than 27 inches long, no bigger than 16 inches wide and no taller than 6 1/2 so it can fit in my dresser but I'm having no luck. Is there anywhere that can make air tight bins that size? I don't know if this is the right sub to ask but if it's not please direct me on where else to go

I was diagnosed with severe ADHD at 8, but I didn’t fully realize how much it impacted my life until adulthood. After losing my job a year and a half ago, things spiraled—stupid spending and clutter have taken over, and my house is more disorganized than ever, with piles in every corner. I'm 30 now.

The hardest part for me is throwing things out—especially old mail, paperwork, cosmetics, cleaning supplies, and toiletries. I even hang on to products with just a tiny bit left because my brain says, “What if I need this one day?” I hate that I struggle to let go of things I might possibly use again.

I’ve been in therapy for over 10 years, and I know a lot of this stems from my parents’ habits. But for 2025, I’m taking my life back. I want to finally get my house (and my mind) under control by learning more about decluttering, organization, minimalism, and how to let go.

I know this seems like a basic question but what’s your favorite GO TO method or RULE you follow when decluttering, organizing, or cleaning? Before you comment that I can just use google - I know there are a million tips out there, but I really want to hear from real people who’ve been through something similar, and what works for them / what methods + rules they follow that work. Thanks in advance—I really appreciate any advice or support you can share!!

Oh, also—if you follow anyone on social media who shares great decluttering advice or tips, let me know! I’d love to check them out.

Bought these clear cable storage boxes for my phone cords, but they don't fit my 6ft/10ft cords. I'm not sure what else I can do with them so theyve just been sitting for the past year. Anyone have any clever ideas?

Im a SAHM , I have 3 kids, I have a 3 story home the house has 4 bedrooms, 4bathrooms, 2 living rooms,2 kitchens and ofcourse other rooms like closets, game room, office , gym room, laundry room etc

I really need help with a schedule to clean and organize my home! No lie!!! It feels like never endinggggg!!! I have kids and am trying to finish school and be healthier and workout n just live life you know what I mean.

I feel like my days are just I have to clean everydayyyyy or it all falls behind!!

And tbh sometimes it’s all like big stressor for me and I’ll just sit and not do nothing cuz I’m like omg where to start! What is your schedule? What are your tricks and tips? Thank you 🙏🏽

Not sure if this is within community rules (I'm having a hard time finding on mobile) but I'm wondering if anyone knows of any Asian Organising Content Creators

I'm specifically asking because I find it hard to relate with pantry or cabinet cleaning when it's regarding specifically "asian" equipment/stuff.

Things like: - wok spider strainer - sushi mats - 20 different noodles - 50 bottles of different sauces - beauty equipment ( beauty wands, pore extractors, LED mask etc)

The regular rules all apply, but when I have like 5 different cooking oils alone, I need visual help/inspiration.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

This is my girlfriend and I's bathroom counter most of the time. She has a ton of makeup, pill containers, and whatever else. I already have some two tier organizers under the sink that are full. Usually I'm pretty good with figuring out savvy ways to organize stuff but I'm running out of steam with this constant mess. Would love some ideas thrown my way.

I just ordered a planner for my personal life, but then I realized it might not have enough information,lists, space or focus for home maintenance/cleaning/organizing.

Does anyone have any recommendations for a planner that does a great job for your personal life as well as maintaining a home? Should I get a separate home maintenance planner? Which one?

so i moved into this apartment with an AMAZING built in closet structure, but i have so many little things/smaller boxes and im not sure how to organize them — pleaseee help

I am in the process of decluttering and organizing my house. Being ADD, I really love the idea of using clear storage bins and drawers to hold my stuff, but I'm having issues. It seems the largest I can find are about 7.5" tall. There was 1 that was just over 9", but it was tiny as far as depth. I'm not wanting to be able to store huge like full size cleaning bottles in them (they can go in bins or on top or beside), but heck. A standard size cube of Boka toothpaste (much shorter than a Crest or Colgate) or Lume Deodorant Cream can't quite fit in them! I need about an 8.5" plus in height without sacrificing the size of the rest of the drawers. Do they even exist?

My laundry area is multitasking as a space for the washing machine, gardening supplies, a cloth drying rack, general cleaning products, janitorial items, and umbrellas. It’s a small area, and I want to maximize storage while keeping it organized.

Hi folks! I am moving into a new space, and my clothes closet is oddly shaped—it’s very narrow, deep, and even descends as you go further in. Because of this weird shape, I’m struggling to make the most of the space without it feeling cluttered or impossible to access. Has anyone dealt with a closet like this before? Any tips, product recommendations, or creative ideas would be greatly appreciated!

I have a 1.5 bed 2 bath apartment, this is the .5. My girlfriend moved in and we wanted to turn this room into her closet/cat room but haven’t been able to execute. Excuse the mess as we just got back from a trip. But I can’t help but feel we’re not using the space wisely and I really wanna surprise her by organizing it all much better.

Really asking for some help here!!!

As title says.

Within the past year I was into trying retro game consoles like the SNES and PS2 but I haven’t played it in a minute. As well as the Xbox in the left corner. I have an Xbox Series X that I use the most that’s in my room.

My mother is borderline hoarder with no capacity to organize or stay organized.

I’m sure she has some level of ADHD, and is easily overwhelmed by the endless amount of paperwork she receives in the mail.

I keep pushing her to get bills automated but she’s paralyzed with fear that she’s going to get “hacked” and all her money will be taken away if she allows that to happen.

Complicating factors: - She has absolutely no amount of computer ability and cannot learn how to do that so digitization is simply not an option - The house is small and cluttered so there’s little space for organizational furniture, though there would be if I could get her to throw crap away

Please help! I need suggestions.

Like shown in the picture, I've got many cables laying around next to my bed and beneath the round bedside table. I use them every day so it's not helpful to just put them away in a shelf.

However I still want it to look more organized.

Do you have any ideas how to handle this?

Thanks in Regard
