How do people keep their drawers tidy? Every once in a while, I need to empty my drawers entirely, because they get so messy, I can't find anything anymore!!!! When my husband opens his drawers and I see how everything is in order, it aways amazes me, and I have to tell you, I get a little envious. How does he do it? And why can't I?
I try. I swear I do. Whenever I go on a cleaning spree, I always vow to maintain it that way. And I ask my children to do the same. But none of us do... except for my husband! When I ask how he does it, he replies:"I just put things back where they belong." Yeah right, as if it's that simple!!!!

At work, I clean out the top my desk and, for some reason, after a few weeks, things pile up again. My purse, same story... I empty it out of all the useless bills. I do it while I'm waiting at the dentist or at the doctor's office. I always feel people are staring, judging the piled up junk that keeps coming out of my purse. Sometimes I'll wonder: "Why on earth do I still have a grocery bill dating back to 2007????"
The problem is, I hate chaos and mess. I feel like when I'm surrounded by it, I can't think clearly... So it's important for me to really learn to manage that part of my life. When it comes to keeping my house tidy, I have no problem. If I see the mess, I'll get rid of it. Drawers sneakily "hide" the mess, so I'm able to forget about it and actually pretend it's not there.
Today, I tidied up my work desk. I spent a couple of hours organizing, filing, throwing, recycling... At the end of the day, I somehow felt like I had had a long relaxing bath. I felt as though all the accumulated fog in my brain had finally lifted. It made me feel great.
Next on the agenda: my drawers and my children's drawers!
And how about you? Are you able to keep your drawers tidy?
