Hi. I’m Lorie Marrero, and today’s Clutter Video Tip is about trays and dishes and how to use them to be a little more organized and efficient and maybe even cleaner in your house.  So when you think of trays you might think of having a special snack, like this, and that’s great. So why not do that all the time? I actually do. When I’m taking a snack up to the boys in the playroom or if I’m having my own snack in my office in the afternoon, I use a tray because it helps keep things from sloshing and spilling so much and, of course, it’s easier to carry, and it also is easier to clean up since you just grab the whole thing and go. So let’s take that concept and apply it to other areas of the house. So, here we have a tray that we use in my kitchen for the beverage center area. We have straws and sweeteners and things. And it provides a home for everything in one place. Everybody knows where to find this stuff, and better yet, we can pick up the whole tray and wipe underneath it and clean and put it right back. So, the same concept applies in my office. I have this little dish that I use to corral our sticky notes of various sizes. Everybody knows where to find the sticky notes, and of course, we can clean underneath and not have them scattered all over the desk. And then finally we have this bowl that you can use in your bathroom. You can keep the bathroom counter less cluttered by having all your frequently used grooming supplies for your daily routine in one place and, again, able to move it and clean really easily.

If you need help applying these strategies in your home, we have a team of organizing experts available seven days a week in our on-line membership program for about the price of a pizza. You can learn more at clutterdiet.com/learnmore.

See you next time, and may you always be happy and grateful for having more than enough.
