Bin There

If you're like me who owns multiple gadgets, (with chargers to go with them) chances are, your work station is also a mess of wires and cables.

The answer to keeping your work spaces clean (or manageable, at least) is using bins or separate trays. Stackable ones that are properly labeled or see-through ones will go a long way in helping you locate your stuff without having to always disentangle your MP3 players from your cellphone chargers and ID lace.

Bins also do wonders for closets and pantries. Dividers inside them, or smaller trays, will also help some more. Even shoes can be kept in bins and still be accessible for use. And of course, children's toys would do well to have bins all their own, unless you want to keep slipping and stumbling on them.

So head to your nearest Home Depot or Ikea shopping center and choose bins that will not only keep you organized, but will also accessorize your home with color. There are so many designs to choose from and you can even personalize some of them.
