If you have ADHD or have a hard time putting things away if it takes too many steps, this still works, with some modification. rather than stack, install extra shelves so each row sits on its own shelf (no pulling three down to get to what you need). Next, if you need to, you can leave off the lid, that way you can pull it out just enough to drop the item in. And, if you use nice printed labels, you can leave off the doors and still have it look good. Great idea, Maurice. i have these bins and never thought to use them like this.
@harmonygibbs7904 that's exactly what I thought as a person with ADHD myself: I would rather buy tiny plastic dressers (meant for desk organisation) so that I wouldn't have to remove 3 stacked boxes and deal with their respective lids in order to make putting things back easier for myself 😆
@@user-qo3jh9mn1t Yes ! And it is very fun. Instead of abiding to the easy way consisting of putting things into trash, I manage to find a way to put all my stuff precisely in small areas and cubes. Because my passions need specific devices I need to be productive.
This is so helpful 😭 as someone with ADHD who struggles to focus w/ a bad tendency of picking up and putting small random stuff ALL OVER THE PLACE … this will totally bring the peace my life needs 😭😂
I love your unique and innovative take on organization. I find I've been using quite a few of your ideas for years. Craft stores have varying sizes of clear bags that can help and they're usually inexpensive. I do my own home maintenance so have plumbing, electrical, drip line, etc., items that need to be kept organized. I reuse my baggies until I don't want to use them for food anymore, then I put them in the shop for larger items. At least they aren't going into the landfill, yet. Your videos have given me a step up look at storage, a different way to categorize that I think will help a lot in the house and shop. Thank you. Keep 'em coming.
I love this, but this works best when it's paired with decluttering. As someone who has lived in a small space while trying desperately to stay organized (I still need motivation, like this, video lol!) I can say it takes a lot less space to throw things into a drawer than it does to create a home for every type of item within that drawer. Don't get me wrong, I prefer having a home for everything, but there is some decluttering that has to happen too.
What a great video. Thank you so much for some great ideas on sorting clutter. I felt myself feeling calmer watching how your home is organised so I’m really excited by the thought of starting to use your ideas in my flat . (The entire flat looks very much like your “clutter drawer”.)
I would have recommended you simply declutter your utility drawer first, Live with it like that for awhile, then work out an organisation system for what remained in that drawer. It is much easier to get into the habit of returning everything to its designated space when there is less stuff.
Thank you for much for the google doc! I really don't want to buy a label maker (I don't like single use items if I can avoid it), so printing on to labels/stickers makes so sense.
"...because no matter what, stackable boxes and blank sticker labels will always be available." hmm, lets ask CHatGPT about that: "In a world where stackable boxes and blank sticker labels are no longer available, people are forced to come up with creative ways to store and organize their possessions. The lack of these tools has caused widespread chaos and disarray, as people struggle to find ways to keep their homes and businesses in order. The absence of stackable boxes and blank sticker labels is due to a global shortage of the raw materials used to produce these items. A series of natural disasters and conflicts have disrupted the supply chain, making it difficult to obtain the cardboard, plastic, and paper that are needed to manufacture these products. As a result, manufacturers have been forced to ration their remaining supplies or cease production altogether. Without stackable boxes, people are forced to use whatever containers they can find to store their belongings. This leads to a proliferation of mismatched containers, ranging from old cardboard boxes to trash cans and even laundry baskets. The lack of standardization makes it difficult for people to find what they are looking for, and the haphazard storage solutions are prone to collapsing and spilling their contents."

Pro tip: make sure they are transparent.

Just popped along to say exactly this, only to find your post right at the top!
Yeah stackable boxes are annoying. Made that mistake multiple times.
Worth paying a bit more for drawers. Clear ones that come all the way out easily.
I stated this on my own 2 years ago.
I called it «optimalism».
It is like Tetris, but in real world.
Great word. To me it's somewhere in between the minimalism I strive for and the maximalism I live with daily.

Should have shown those boxes more when set up
You're content is incredibly addictive. Thank you so much for all the inspiration you have shared in the last two hours of binge watching. 😃
Done! I bought 6 of the larger ones (in teal) and 6 of the smaller (5x7) in white. Prepared labels. My bookcase is the envy of the office. Thank you!

This is crazy good .. quarantine project 🙏🏽 lol
Thanks man! Definitely something to do when locked in lol!

I love the music you use on your channel intro and ending.
Very useful to me. Thanks a bunch, especially the labeling template for a computer ignoramus.

I’m motivated now! 🙏
Woohoo! Keep us updated on how it goes plz! 🙏😎
Great video. Really helpful. Thanks!
Subscribed!
Thanks so much for giving my small channel a shot! Glad it was helpful! :)
I really like these ideas for all the miscellaneous stuff. Thank you!
Do you just place the baggies into the appropriate box? Would love a peek into a few of the boxes.

I watch this video over and over again… its so satisfying 🤗 I’m pretty sure half of the views on it are from me 😂
I seek see through boxes but I guess that defeats the purpose of an uncluttered look.
Thank you for much for the google doc! I really don't want to buy a label maker (I don't like single use items if I can avoid it), so printing on to labels/stickers makes so sense.
Can you share a link for the small ikea boxes? I didn’t find it on their website.
just found your channel, I really enjoy your videos, looking forward to more!
I like your idea, but prefer clear boxes (still with labeling) to quickly view the contents without pulling out each box
Question: what do you do with the frequently used items ?
Pro tip, you can take a picture of each pile and send it to AI and ask it to create a list of items for your label
Thank you!
Thank you
I feel stupid but I really don't understand how 24 Kuggis can fit in the 60x40x64 Besta?
well said!
You are so awesome.
You kept *darts* in your entryway?

My room is messy but i don't know where to start it
One corner at a time
