"I've always considered myself a fairly organized person: Everything I own has a "home," I declutter regularly, and I make sure to set aside 15 minutes at the end of each day to prepare my home for the next. And yet, I still feel like my systems could be better. After all, tidying up is only half the battle - it's maintaining that order that really counts."
"Bathrooms tend to collect a wide range of small items, which makes them ideal candidates for cube-based organization - especially helpful if you're sharing a bathroom or short on drawer space. "Use one for hair accessories or hair tools such as a blow dryer with its attachments," Orr suggests. "Other ideas are to have makeup, skin accessories, and toiletries in different cubes. Or perhaps use one packing cube for your morning routine, and another for your evening skin care.""
Packing cubes, typically used for travel, can be effective organizers throughout the home. They create instant categories, make shelves and drawers easier to manage, and help keep systems intact long after organizing. Group like items into flexible, zippered containers that are easy to stack, move, and maintain; cubes also simplify moving by keeping belongings pre-packed. In bathrooms, assign separate cubes for hair tools, makeup, skin-care, and morning versus evening routines. Use cubes to contain tech accessories, cords, chargers, seasonal clothing, craft supplies, and children's toys for accessible, portable, and space-efficient organization.
