Alejandra, you inspire me every day. I used to be not very productive, not motivated and failing all my classes in school. But then I found this channel. I started with small projects: First, one night of homework. I set a checklist, finished everything neatly than put it back in my backpack. Over time I had 5 A's and 1 B+, I was working hard every night to organize my binder and backpack and to keep doing my work. I kept my locker organized but I found my room was an unorganized mess, so I'm doing projects every month. First, I got a hamper to keep my dirty clothes off the floor. I did my laundry as routine and not relying on my parents (lol). Then I organized my nightstand, with your videos of course to help me along the way and I'm purchasing more organizing products to help clean up my dresser clutter. Next month I'm moving on to my closet. You helped me through a very rough time in my life. Thank you for making my life organized and getting my life together for me! Thank you girl:)
What a sweet message!
wow she has changed your life for good i'm glad i hope you get A+
Thanks for being a good person. 🤗
Hey there, you proabably wont read this anymore, but after 8 years I was looking through my youtube subscriptions and stumbled upon your channel. Man, i was hit with a huge wave of nostalgia. Thank you for motivating me to be organized since I was a small kid
I love how you thought outside the box with the paint tray, and I love that you also share a realistic assessment of the products. It's just $1, so extra things like side labels on binders won't be there, but with some creative thinking like you demonstrated, you can create a really functional, awesome system! Creativity goes a long way! Definitely enjoyed :)
Thanks Kathryn, glad you enjoyed the video! It is so fun getting creative at Dollar Tree AND searching a million stores to find the best stuff! Agh, SO FUN (as you know!)! Hope you're doing well :)

i find calmness listening to your voice.
I listen to these over and over because it helps me calm down. Idk...it just helps!
Hi Alejandra, I've been trying to clean my room for the past four summers but have always gotten distracted by something else...usually procrastination but you've inspired me and I've gotten a lot more done in just this past week. Thank you so much!!
Every time I watch your videos I have an urge to clean and organize everything 😊
I LOVE LOVE LOVE YOUR CHANNEL. I have been a subscriber for some time now.
I get so many tips and ideas from your videos, they helped turn my house around organization wise. I have tackled projects that had been sitting for many many months( alright a year 😳). Everything has a place where it lives and it makes it so much easier to find anything we are looking for. Even my 'junk drawer' in the kitchen is organized and the family puts items back where they belong. My bedroom has become an oasis and I wake up ready to take on the day, no more dreading opening my closet or dresser drawers. I reduced the amount of clothing we all have and found it was one of the best moves I could have made. Clutter doesn't exist and when I clean up at night before heading up to bed, it takes all of 5 mins. To see a clean organized kitchen at the start of my morning is a perfect start to any day. Thanks a bunch 💗
Paint tray for files. That is brilliant! Love these out of the box organization ideas.
I'm 13 and obbssesed with having things clean I'm so glad you make your videos it makes me feel so happy... Xoxo keep up the good work💕

I love the napkin holder for letters! I saw someone spray paint them. This way you can match it to your decor. They look more expensive too! Life as a Twin Mom
A lot of times when I just don't feel like organizing but I know I need to organize, I would watch one of your video and then I'd get the motivation to organize. Thanks a lot, I just finished cleaning my desk. I love you sooo much.
Excellent! So glad to be of motivation to YOU! Keep up the awesome work! :)
I have never seen someone that creative with organizing usualy when I want to organize something I just buy buckets but you show that there are a lot more things you can use to organize
ILY😘
That necklace on the microphone. Atleast the necklace hitting it didn't completely mute out your voice. Yay! I am completely reorganizing my house with your tips. One exception is the recipe file rubber band thingy. I bought one from dollar tree and hasn't held up well. Gonna write down all the recipes I need/want, donate the recipe books, and start typing the recipes into a binder much like the one you have so my daughter has a recipe book for when I pass. Love your videos! You are so inspiring!
I love your videos so professional yet humble. Now that I moved to my own place with my little boy I am a very organized person like you but had to find new creative ways to have everything organized but on a budget and still look cozy but classy. Thank you
I watch your videos every Day.
I organised 2 rooms.
My moom is proud.
♥️
Love your tips and thank you so much for not having annoying 'noise' through out your video.'
This is perfect for organizing my desk at work on my own with out having the office have to buy expensive organizers for me. I love Alejandra!
I love your channel Alejandra! It's just so inspiring and your enthusiasm in your work shines through. Ever since I have subbed I have already organised my pantry, linen closet and I have a great mail system in place. I found an awesome little drawer set that is perfect for my bills/cac/filing etc and rather than pick the plain black I went bright purple as I love how you have pops of colour everywhere. I just wanted to say thank you for the inspiration to get my home and life in order and the realistic and easy tips you provide. All the best all the way from Australia!
Wow Lisa, you've gotten so much done!! Awesome job on implementing and taking action!! You must be feeling so organized and on top of things. Glad you enjoy my videos! Thank you for watching and also for taking the time to express your gratitude. It means more than you know and it is the reason I continue sharing :) Sending you a hug from the United States
I love Your videos
yes I agree so much
I may have been ahead of my time! When I was a teenager I found a new use for 2 stack-able vegetable bins that we no longer needed in the kitchen. I spray painted them silver (the accent color of my bedroom) and used them on my desk. I put my stationery supplies in one and the letters that I received in the other. Of course this was many years ago when letter writing was the easiest way to stay in touch with family and friends. :) You always have great ideas Alejandra. I look forward to more. Thanks!
That is a terrific idea! There is so much joy in re-purposing things as organizing products for FREE! I love doing that. Thank you for watching my videos and taking time to share your story!
I just love the way you speak makes me feel relaxed and i have to say i might be like a BIG fan in the west midlands i dont really have these stores and thanks for giving me ideas
Hey Alejandra, Congratulations on your Wedding!! I hope we can see new videos soon, you are missed. You are an inspiration to many of us and always an energy booster when it comes to start organizing. Thank You for giving me many ideas and advice for organizing my desk and home. Hope to hear from you soon.
I love the way you teach us to save and organize things
I love your videos! I'm afraid I watch a lot of them and often forget to give them a thumbs up
I found that same napkin holder a while back and use some to keep my makeup pallets together on my makeup desk. Fun to see someone else using it for non-napkin purposes as well.
That is a GREAT idea! Thank you for sharing!
I think I noticed a theme among us organization lovers . . . We all love simple, plain prints with pops of color. Whether it be in office supplies, or our outfits (Like your simple shirt and statement necklace), it always catches our eyes! :P
YES!!!! I
You blew my mind with the paint tray and napkin holder. Watching your videos makes me go, "OH DUH." Loved it! I am SO excited for the drawer organization video. I've gotten creative when it comes to organizing my drawers, but I feel like you'll blow my mind once again. Can't wait!
Alejandra, I love you so much! I stumbled across your channel by accident and I AM SO GLAD! You have inspired me to change how my family organizes things so we can have more TIME together for other things! We are having fun doing it to, it really forces you to be creative!!! You are beautiful and talented!
YAY, I am SO happy to be of inspiration to you! And how wonderful that you are now finding TIME to be with family - that is what matters. Good job to you for taking action! I am so glad you found me as well. When you are ready, the teacher suddenly appears :)
I love your necklace, and your cool, ergonomic (accidentally matching!) chair!! So cute!
I love that you have a "Time Timer" on your desk! I use one in my classroom but never thought of putting one on my desk at home. I would love for you to share the ways you use it to organize your time.
I will add your idea to my list! Thank you for the idea and thank you for watching!! :)
I love your videos so much that I repeatedly watch the same ones over and over again! your an inspiration to me!!
Agh, so cool! So happy to be of inspiration for YOU! Thank you for watching!
These are fabulous tips! And can't believe everything is from the dollar store, so cool!
I loved watching this video! Very creative uses of products that I would never have thought to use. I will be visiting my dollar store this week. Thanks for sharing. -Tai
I love your videos! Thank you I started watching your videos and began to organize my parents huge house for them (they are both disabled) It was a big job I didn't know where t o start and I started watching your videos and used your tips and then it got so much easier I am almost done with the house so THANK YOU!!
You could also use a cassette case as a stand for holding your name cards.
Brilliant idea!!!
Alejandra you are totally the best at organising, I love everything that you do x
Thank you Sania!! :) And thank YOU for watching and commenting!
Hi Alejandra, my 12 year old daughter has been watching your videos and recommended them to me because I have been stressing over organizing our home, starting with our office. Watching your videos has re-energized and motivated me. I feel that I can conquer the clutter that is my office. I have cabinets in my office and a desk without drawers. Do you have any videos or tips addressing storing office supplies in those? Should I get boxes and stack them?
Hey Alejandra I dont have a dollar tree in my country but I love your videos and I try to improvise with whatever is available thank you for the videos.
I like how you organized your entire house! I do organize mine, but family doesn't keep it that way...hey! I use a napkin holder too 😊 to keep my bills and important letters at reach.
I love love love ur ideas..they r practical, nt expensive bt still a pleasure fr d eyes.
I love how most your ideas are original. Most other videos are the same thing over and over again
You are brilliant! Your videos have helped me so much in getting organized at work and at home. I've ordered the FreedomFiler so my next step is getting my papers organized at home. I get so many of my organizing products from Dollar Tree.
Yesss! I use those same trash bins in the Ikea Micke desk with integrated storage. There are two cubbies on the side of the desk where these trash bins fit perfectly. I labeled the shelves SHREDDING and RECYCLING. Just above the cubbies is the mailing center that I created just like you had in one of your previous videos. So the mail is sorted so efficiently! Thanks always for your great videos :)
Oh nice! As weird as it sounds, sorting trash makes me so excited, haha :) I'm glad you are finding the same joy :) Thank you for watching and taking time to leave me a comment :)
It is amazing how you smile all the time. It inspires me to do the same :D greating from France
Because of you my whole room looks good, thank you soooooooooooooooo much!
Love your videos! I get so excited each time you post a new video. I have used many of your ideas both at home and in my classroom. Thanks for the great ideas!
AWESOME! I'm so happy my tips can help you get organized in your home and classroom :) Thank you for watching and supporting!
You are just amazing with what you come up with! I love it thankyou
THANK YOU SO MUCH ALEJANDRA YOUR SO HELPFUL AND INSPIRING
This is so helpful! Tomorrow I am going to start organizing! Thanks so much.
Just amazing. We don't have dollar tree here in France so i have to make use of IMAGINATION to organise stuff lol. BUT, your tips on how you use something for other stuff are just great! I will definitely think about these when i go shopping
I love your videos. My daughter was watching with me today and said "oh my goodness, mom, she has the ergo chair from the container store!" My kids want that chair so much for homeschool. Do you think it would be comfortable for long periods of sitting during school?
I LOVE your videos! I've used many of your ideas at home, they're awesome!
you make organization so much fun!!
Your videos are amazing! I will definitely be using these ideas. I love that bouncy thing you are sitting on by the way.
what is that magical chair you are on!?!? is it similar to an exercise ball?
she tells you where she got it in her desk tour video I'm pretty sure.
It's not really an exercise chair - it's like a bouncy chair - it is SO fun to sit on :) This is it: www.alejandra.tv/recommends/fun-ergonomic-chair/
you are all so helpful. thank you! :)
Kristen DiPerri np!
That's really simple! My kids and I loves attend Dollar store. I will figure out small desk for my own room. :)
So helpful,i ve just discoverd you ,and everyday i m organasing a corner at home .....thank you so much
WONDERFUL!! :) Thank you for subscribing!
Great idea with the paint tray serving as a paper inbox, especially since it's slanted!
Yes, exactly! Thank you for watching!
Hi Alejandra! You are an amazing youtuber and you have inspired me to get very organized. Thank you
Thank you for your kind comment :) I am overjoyed to know I have inspired you to get organized
that napkin holder is an awesome idea!
Thank you :) So many re-purposes for that napkin holder :)
These are such great ideas! I am interviewing for a desk job tomorrow I am totally going to the Dollar Tree across the street from my apartment to make a pencil holder like yours! And your paint tray - letter tray is actually really neat, especially since you added the label to make it more "Office Official." When you are finished with this video series will you please make a car organization video? Maybe viewers would like to get some ideas on how to organize their cars since lots of people will be making road trips soon. Again, LOVE these ideas and I'm looking forward to the next video!
You are so creative!! Thank you so much for sharing such great ideas!
You are welcome, thank you for watching! =)
Some really great tips for organizing on a budget. Super post.
I love your videos, you are so inspiring, thanks for sharing your ideas. Greetings from germany!
Love the paint tray idea
Your videos are really good I was not organized but now I am
Love your creativity & ideas on thinking outside the box. Who would have thought about using a paint tray? Only you, its great idea. I didn't understand what you used for cover page in binder. I find the paper tabs many times do slip out. Your method great! Thanks so much for sharing.
You are such a sweet person and put a smile on my dial!
Hi Alejandra, LOVE your videos. How do you store nail varnishes? Are they really meant to be kept in the fridge?
hi Alejandra ! your videos helped me so much for highschool and my home,I haven't seen a video in a while when will you be uploading?
Did you change your office space? I remember your other videos for your desk area. Just wondering if you changed where your office was and if this is how you have it set up now. I like the ideas. Thank you for your continued help for others.
I love that chair!!!
I use a napkin holder inside my bread box to hold my files upright along with a candle holder that holds my pens. I call it my mobile office/command center. My planner goes in the bread box as well. It's super functional and nothing is being used as intended. It all sits on the counter. :)
Great video! I have used several of your organizational tips throughout my home. Thanks so much! . . . One question, where can I find the stool/chair, you are sitting on at your desk? LOVE IT
Alejandra, I love watching your videos and ideas.
Thank you Polly for watching!
*****
can you please answer my question that I published
Loving this chanel I found that people give me Mugs a lot ( No idea why!) and I only really use one for Tea so I use these as pen holders to organise my desk with super easy, cheap and they can be bright and fun
Love the cork boards ..hoping to go to dollar tree next week.
Have a FUN time!
These were super creative ideas, and I will be able to replicate most of them without actually having a Dollar Tree with Dollar Tree specific products! (I'm Australian) Thanks for the video :)
I did the same thing for my partners mail at home, using the napkin holder! He piles it on the refrigerator, so now we have a place to stack it.
Hey Alejandra! Love the video, I was just wondering if when you move to your new home if you will still use this Dollar Tree organisation or will you go back to what you previously had? Are you just using Dollar Tree organisation for now to test how it is organising on a budget? xxx
Good question! I'm not sure yet. I'm actually thinking about using neither and doing something totally different and creative :) I'm not sure yet though. I will figure it out when we figure out where we are moving to! Thank you for watching!! :)
Ballin' on a budget! Love it!
I love your chair!!
Love the paint tray for holding files, the tacky blue stuff to keep the mail holder in place and the color coded binder header page! I use pretty flower pots or vase type containers for pens, pencils and colored pencils too. Your ideas are clever, affordable and easy to set up.
Your desk seat is so colorful and fun - Where did you get it?
Thank you Alejandra! Looking forward to videos 3 & 4.
Alejandra, thank you so much for posting these videos! I recently discovered you when I was on TH-cam looking at planner organizing. That was 2-3 weeks ago and I'm hooked! You've inspired me to organize since watching mostly all your videos, all I've been doing to cleaning and organizing ☺️. I love all your tips. Btw, I love your desk set, where's it from? And is this your office now or a second office in your home?
Hey, I'd love if you made more Dollar Store organization videos. You're amazing!!
Could you like organise my whole house!? Hahaha Love your vids!
Lol, you can do it, just gotta get started and it WILL get easier :)
What exactly is the checklist binder for/how do you use it? It sounds like a really useful and customizable thing and I'd love to know more about it. please reply!
Kelsey Adler did you find the checklist video?
she's making life easy☺☺☺☺
I Am 12 And I Love Your Videos I Am Obsessed With Your Vids!
I love your office desk. Where did you get them? Looking to replace my old ones. Thanks
I LOVE these videos. Wish my Dollar Tree had more things -- I can never find the things (ex: containers) that I need.
Love your videos, tips are great and prices are perfect. Just a piece of advice to your fans...if you buy any items from Dollar Tree, they have a NO RETURN policy, but they will allow you to exchange something with the tags still on and a receipt. Unfortunately that is the policy for all dollar type stores. Just make sure what you purchase is something you can use, and will fit your needs, otherwise it can become a real hassle.
I get my desk organizers at the dollar section in target. So cute
I like the paint tray because it is easier to see what is in the bottom of the pile.
I love your videos and organisations I watch u every day ly thanks so much for the insurasion (haha don't know how to spell it) but thanks again I like clean my room every day because my brothers and mum and dad messy it up haha ly again xx❤
Alejandra i am 13 and love organizing, my parents think you are too detailed and ramble on too much, but i love your videos!
💘 u girl. love all your ideas. hero's me keep organized. following u forever. keep up with the great ideas. muah
I'm really interested in your checklist binder. Did you do a tutorial on that? I've been searching and can't find it. Another amazing, motivational video! Thank You.
Love the video, I have been organizing everything in my house.
Oh good for you! You must feel so productive and accomplished :)
Clutter free, your videos are so helpful and I like the budget ideas.
I love watching your videos!!! They are very helpful :-)
Alexandra, what great ideas.
That paint tray I can really benefit from....M♡M of 5
