Post-It Notes

Emily Vander Tuin, a residential organizer, shares a simple organizing tip using post-it notes.

Organizing often requires moving lots of stuff around. The stamps and check book that used to live in a kitchen drawer now live in the secretary in the study. The juicer on top of the refrigerator has moved to the bottom cabinet to the left of the stove. How do you remember where you put everything? Post-its! It’s a very simple method but I’ve used it with multiple clients and they’ve loved it. Just stick a post-it note, labeled with the contents of the area you’ve organized, on the outside door or cabinet and leave it there until you remember what is in there. Simple but so effective!
