Getting organized doesn’t have to be complicated. The best organizing systems make life easier, not harder. The key is to focus on simple, sustainable solutions—items that make tidying up easier, help us stay on top of daily tasks, and reduce decision fatigue.

Outer Order, Inner Calm
I can’t help it, it’s my favorite book about organizing!
Simple stove shelf
This magnetic stove shelf keeps kitchen essentials out of the way, but within arm’s reach.
Label maker
How cute is this compact little label maker? Labels provide visual clarity and a sense of structure. Plus they let other people know where things go, even when you’re not there to tell them.
Bank box
Everyone in our family has one of these with folders for each year. It’s where we keep important things we want to save so we always know where they are.
Ornament box
Storing items that are important, but used rarely, can be a challenge. Investing in an organized storage system is often worth it.
3-tier cart
I use this cart for my watercolors, and I love it. All my materials are accessible and organized, and I can easily roll the cart away when necessary.
Chalkboard labels and markers
These labels are erasable and reusable. Perfect for spaces and containers that serve different functions at different times, and more durable than a sticky note.
