Rubbermaid Junk Drawer Organizer Review + Giveaway
One of my New Year's Resolutions was to try to get more organized in 2010. I have what I like to call "organized chaos". From what my older female friends say, as the kids grow older I should grow out of it, and I can only hope that it's true.
In the meantime, I find myself partaking in Parent Workshops at the local elementary school that teach all about the methods of The Fly Lady,and re-reading a book I read a few years ago, and drifting into a day dream where our cupboards have space for all of our "stuff".
I had the opportunity to condense my reusable container area during back to school with the Rubbermaid Easy Find Lids and that alone has helped tremendously, so when Rubbermaid contacted me to ask if I would be willing to review their new Junk Drawer Organizers. These new organizers are starting to pop up in stores this month, and are the perfect tool for any one looking to have a functional junk drawer.
From Rubbermaid:
The three keys to having a functional junk drawer are:On top of this, Rubbermaid gives the advice that you should set aside an hour of time and clear off a working space that is large enough to hold all the items in your drawer. Then they suggest you "Take a deep breath". This for me, was the most important and useful advice. Very often times, I find myself overwhelmed at the thought of this gigantic pile (even if it's just some junk in the junk drawer), and get discouraged very easily.
- Giving junk drawer inhabitants a specific place to live in the drawer
- Not throwing things that belong elsewhere in the drawer
- Cleaning the drawer out every once in awhile
Anyway, after taking the advice off of the Junk Drawer Organization 101 sheet included with my organizer, I got to work.My junk drawer has never looked better.

my organizational not-so-hot spot is my desk in the kitchen... it is where the mail piles up, receipts, my purse, lists, camera, multiple phone chargers, laptop and anything and eveything else... it's always a mess and i am not a messy person so it annoys me to just look at it.

My organizational "hot spot" is my desk. I would use this organizer to straighten out the mess of office supplies that I can never find under all the other stuff.

A DRAWER IN MY KITCHEN
My hot spot would be my closet. This product would come in handy because I'm not good at organizing anything.

Our junk/batteries/writing utensils/coupons/keys/change drawer could definitely use some help ala rubbermaid. Thanks for the giveaway!
My office desk is where EVERYTHING ends up. The drawers are full of junk and everything ends up stacked on top. This would help there or in the kitchen's junk drawer.

I have about 4 junk drawers...ughhh
I have a number of hot spots - mostly closets. We have two pantries - one in the kitchen for food and one right off the kitchen for whatever- it's about time to reorganize the latter one now. Then there's couple of drawers in the kitchen that hold a number of miscellaneous items that would be improved by Rubbermaid products.
I live in a small apartment so staying organized would help give me more space! I have a basket that's on top of my entryway shoe organizer that is my attempt at organization...not very successful though. :)
My hot spot is the baker's rack near my back door. It's where I throw mail, keys, etc. when I come home.
My junk drawer is kind of a pit, too, so I could really use this organizer!
ours is closets and the kitchen drawers they are jammed with stuff :(
this would be great for our kitchen drawers because i dont even know where to start

To keep the house looking neat, we have one room where we put stuff we don't need at the moment, or have to file or put away later. I have to go in that room and straighten it up every couple of weeks or it would just get out of hand.
I could use this organizer in the family room where we have a junk drawer.
Thank you.

All my drawers are an un-organized nightmare. I'm starting my spring cleaning early and am looking to get very organized this year.
My hot spot is the hallway table. Everything seems to end up there.
