I think they are great for organizing everywhere- including the fridge! Using clear containers is key b/c you can always see what is there. I use the inexpensive containers as well (Ziploc).

I was very skeptical of her first task--to make your sink shine. My sink is about 50 years old and looked pretty terrible to the point where I didn't think there was any way to make it look better. I decided to suspend my disbelief though and followed all her directions and couldn't believe how good it looked afterward or how good I felt that I made it look that way. I’m also a fan of FlyLady.

The less stuff I have the more I enjoy my home and the things I've kept - less time spent cleaning & looking for things & more time for the things I enjoy - like growing vegetables! I'm starting a new push to get rid of things I don't "use or love". It's not easy, but I'm sticking with it. The less stuff the better...

I've been known to buy some items in part due to the container. Mayo jars, fruity gel containers, plastic peanut butter jars, clear glass jars containing marinated artichoke hearts, lemonade bottles with that fancy ceramic flip top ... all great containers.

Great tips. I have been thinking a lot about how you can seriously get more done (it's just psychological thing) in a cleaner, more organized work environment. With things in their place, you can be more efficient. Thanks for the tips! :) It’s so true! Great tips.
