21. Use bed risers to increase the space under your bed.
22. Use drawers, not counters, for storing bathroom stuff. Or keep all your toiletries in one box or basket on the counter — easy to move for cleaning the counter.
23. Use a corkboard and pushpins to hang jewelry. Keeps everything visible but out of the way. 24. Use a travel jewelry organizer that goes over a hangar. Also keeps jewelry visible and out of the way — and thieves aren’t likely to look for your jewelry among your hung clothes. 25. Keep a basket by the stairs and add out-of-place items to it. When the basket’s full, take it upstairs and put everything away

26. Fill a box with stuff you’re unsure of and pack it for a year. Make sure you put the date on the outside. If you don’t use anything in the box for an entire year, you don’t need it and can get rid of it.
27. Put a whiteboard in your garage where you’ll see it when you come home and when you get ready to leave. Put to do lists, reminders, and other important information on it.
28. Find creative uses for containers. For example, ice cube trays are great for storing all sorts of tiny objects — and they stack easily.
29. Keep a rack by the door for keys. But make sure they’re not visible from the front door/window.
30. Pull bookshelves out slightly to hide cords for gadgets in the back.

31. Set up a scanner and a shredder next to each other. Incoming mail goes into the scanner and then –unless you need it for your records — straight into the shredder.
32. Sort mail as it comes in. Trash it, file it, respond to it, or take action on it — don’t let it build up
33. Go paperless. Scan all your important paperwork and store it on your computer. File only the papers you absolutely need hard copies of.
34. Set up your bills to be due all on the same day. Most utilities will let you shift your payment date, though you will usually have to make up a month-plus the first time after the change.
35. Use chip clips to hold related papers together.

36. Put all your work work on your desk and “do as you clean”. When you’re done, the desk is clean — a great motivator for people who like a clean desk.
37. Auto-pay everything.
38.Scan business cards as you get them.
39. Make a nice box for receipts and put new receipts in it every night when you get home. Sort your receipts on a regular basis, or this will overflow and become yet another source of clutter.
40. Convert a closet into an office. With a little creativity, even a tiny closet can be transformed into a functional space — and when you’re done, close the door to hide the mess.
