I've been working on tidying up my place the past few weeks and organizing bins from Muji has been a life savior. It gets especially annoying organizing and cleaning small items like toiletries, and small knick knacks lying around. Being able to have those stuff in small containers and shifting them around has been super helpful.
I visited Tyler’s apartment in NYC a couple weeks ago, and felt like such an idiot when I saw his plastic bins of t shirts he has stored in his closet. The tees he doesn’t actively wear but isn’t quite ready to cut loose for good. When I got home, I found myself browsing the container store - immediately picturing the great ways I could improve my life with a container for everything: several t shirt boxes, a toy box for my daughter, stuff for my dvds, cds, and games that I want to store, the dog food, and everything else. It was like cleaning without having to actually clean.
under bed storage, coffee table with drawers, a dedicated stuff closet, shelves just for organizing (I like an ikea kallax with those little fold out storage bins). squeeze use out of every square inch of shelf, closet, and drawer space, get stuff out of sight and out of mind. only super hack I can provide is that you can stuff poufs with blankets, jackets, old tees, and pillows and get a nice ottoman too
i did not do this and am currently frantically packing for a 6am flight and it is 9pm and i want to be in bed. my tootsies are so tired and i am exhausted and there is still so much to do. be better than me, i am a clown
