On Monday, I challenge my readers to work through a quick 15 – 20 minute organizing task. These tasks would involve tackling one small job. It might be a kitchen drawer, a hall closet or your purse. This exercise will help you get the ball rolling so you can do another job, increase the time you work on a project or a larger task. 4M (MMMM) tasks motivate you to get GET ORGANIZED!
This weeks challenge: tackle a drawer in your bedroom. Where do you store all those intimate items? Last week featured on Martha Stewart’s Organizing Tip of the Day. were all sorts of drawer organizers.
I like the idea of using smaller, modular storage containers but I have to admit, that actually building dividers for drawers is a bit too labour intensive for me! There are plenty of products on the market at many different price points and these are a few suggestion:
Martha’s tip showed these wonderful fabric dividers. I use similar ones but purchased them at IKEA (see picture below). They come in different sizes and can be mixed and matched to suit your needs. I always keep some on hand for clients (we don’t have an IKEA in London).

I use these IKEA fabric organizers in my kids’ drawers. It makes ‘putting away the laundry’ much, much easier (and for any busy mom & dad that is essential).
Another favourite product that I like to use with clients are the “Dream Drawer” dividers. I like them because they are spring loaded and they are easy to install but most importantly, they create custom sections.
As you can see we needed a large section for the underwear and a smaller one for bras. The last section has black socks – a staple for her wardrobe!
4M lesson = sort, purge and containerize! See the difference a little organization can do for 15 minutes a day!

Margarita, you just motivated me to organize my dressers and chests. 🙂 Thank you!
Great ideas. I am going to order some of those fabric boxes. My junk drawers are a mess!
