If you are like most regular people then you probably have what is called a “junk drawer”. A junk drawer is precisely that—a drawer that has nothing but junk in it. Even though it’s very common, having a junk drawer can certainly add to your clutter and stress. This is why it’s time to clear out that junk drawer of yours.
1. The firs thing you need to do would be to remove all the contents of the drawer. Chances are your drawer is located on your desk or counter so you automatically have a surface where you can put the contents on. Try to lay out an old newspaper on the surface to protect if from dust or any sharp items.
2. The next thing you need to do would be to put your belongings in categories. For instance, gather all paper clips, gather all pens, gather all bookmarks, etc. If you have mostly tiny items in your drawer, find a way to put them order like using an old ice cube tray or anything with divisions.
3. The last thing you need to do would be to decide which items you will keep and which you won’t. Chances are you will find plenty of items that you can give away or sell.
