The first thing I like to do in any area that I'm going to work on is to empty it out completely. Yep, I've said it before and I'm sayin' it again: Empty it out, completely. Everything out!
Even though this is supposed to be a "junk drawer", you still should be able to locate items that you keep there. Believe it or not, your junk drawer can still be organized!
Before we get started, measure the interior of the drawer and decide which organizing solutions you can use to divide your items. I like using the trays that most people use for their cutlery. However, drawer dividers will do just fine. I also use the boxes that my checks come in to help keep the smaller items together
Begin by purging and tossing any items broken items or items that you no longer use. Then put aside anything that doesn't belong in the "junk drawer" and can be put somewhere else in the house that makes better sense. For example, if you find your checks in there, perhaps you can put them back in your office where you pay your bills. The great thing about junk drawers is that everyone has their own unique junk. However, remember that if you haven't used it in a few months, it's just wasting space.
Next, start placing all like items together by either category or function. For example, all small tools should be together in one place, all pens and pencils should be together, all small pieces that need to be glued or fixed should be in one place. You get the idea.
Here comes the good part! Put everything back using the trays or dividers by grouping like items together. Even if the contents of your drawer is an array of odd items , the key to an organized drawer is to be able to see what's in there quickly so that you can grab it when you need it.
Upkeep is crucial so go through your junk drawer on a regular basis. If you do, you will always have a general idea of its contents.
