5 Small Spots You're Probably Forgetting to Organize

Many of us might have used our plan-free weekends to work on big organizing tasks because we have spent considerably more time at home than usual in 2020.

Your Cleaning Supply Stash

You're most likely to store cleaning materials beneath the kitchen sink if you live in a tiny area, so you'll have to make some room if you store items in there. These particular bleach wipes are certainly of great value, however as I mentioned, you may be amazed by what's hidden away within your garbage bags (expensive clorox wipes, perhaps?) as well as near-empty or expired inventory, which can be discarded I put all of my spray bottles and other odds and ends (such the aforementioned, GooGone, and Barkeeper's Friend) in a storage container as my under-sink storage is limited. My storage bin has a fixed capacity, so there is no extra place for items that aren't serving me anymore.

While it is most likely you will not pay much attention to this section of your house, you will be surprised at how light you will feel when you sort through your collection.

Your Makeup and Skincare Collection

We all know how makeup has changed dramatically by the year 2020, but don't be surprised if you want to keep up with your favorite items since the tiny eyeliner you are now using is precisely what you need at that moment.

Even if you just sometimes go au natural, you should check through your cosmetic bag for used up items, expired products, and things no longer serving you. After removing the superfluous, only maintain the essential items on hand, and it will be much easier to become glamorous.

Taking the time to do a virtual round of your medicine cabinet can only provide you more time in the long run.

Your Nightstand Drawer

No matter how much you want to clean on move-in day, your nightstand will become a junk drawer in the long run. Clear everything out and put away anything that isn't in its proper place. This is a good opportunity to de-clutter your home and refocus on the necessities like your favorite CBD oil, an eye mask, a lip balm, and an additional phone charger or earbuds.

You should conduct a thorough cleanup of your trash at least once every few months in order to get rid of crumpled paper and coins that could have made their way back into the trash.

Your Jewelry Box

You should check through your accessory collection to see if there are any items you can quickly slip on for an outing. Regardless of whether you're dressing up or just going to the gym, knowing that your baubles are organized and accessible will make you feel better.

Give your necklaces a quick comb-through and then put your rings back in their respective holders. Throw away anything that's damaged. If the artwork is in good shape but no longer appeals to you, consider donating it. Someone else may find it attractive. put all of your quarantine-inspired friendship bracelets in the additional space

Your Fridge

This was the toughest area to find, so we kept it for last. Many of us are eating virtually every meal at home, which necessitates that we regularly clean out the fridge. As well as chefs that tend to stay away from the kitchen, those that cook more are also better-stocked than average.

Look at each shelf and drawer, one shelf and drawer at a time, and identify things such as rotten fruit, sauces that have gone bad, and leftovers that have been ignored for over a week.

The next time you're about to throw something out, consider freezing it instead. This way, you'll always have it on hand. Preparation ahead of time pays benefits.
