We all have those places, yes we do! It is such a good feeling though, when you get one area all cleaned of all the junk drawers. Expert organizers tell us that is the way to do it - one area at a time, or one area per week.
Just looking thru Laura Gaskill's Ideabook on Houzz gets me inspired. I especially like her posting the great idea from "Simply Organized Consulting" on using the plastic pocket hangers to also store junk hanging in a closet. We never have enough space for the junk, or enough drawers, so this might be the answer.
