Good Housekeeping: 9 Storage Tools Pro Organizers NEVER Use

GH asked us to share common storage tools that Pros NEVER use. Read below!

Good Housekeeping interviewed me for their article 9 Storage Tools Pro Organizers NEVER Use. We landed the #7 + #8 tips! Check out our tips below!

7. Label makers

"There's a time and place for label makers, but that's usually not at home. I'm not saying that labels are terrible, but it's often unnecessary to use yet another electronic device (which you'll have to store) to make them. Instead, write your labels by hand. This will help you better remember where you've stored things, and handwriting is much more pleasing and personal than a printed sticker." — Marla Kabashima, organizing coach at Maeve's Method

8. Stacked desk trays

"Thanks to computers and our increasingly paper-free lifestyle, there is less need for organizers that hold stacks of mail or tons office supplies. I often see people with desk stackers stuffed with items they haven't used in years. Let the stack go, and replace it with a simple tray or bowl for the few things you do use. And introduce a plant, if you'd like, to add height and energy to the area where the trays once lived." — Maeve Richmond, founder and organizing coach at Maeve's Method
