1) Create A Designated Spot For Everything

First and foremost, creating a specific spot for all the ‘random’ things will prevent you from having a junk drawer.

For example; a place where you hang your keys, where you set your mail, a spot for scissors, rubber bands, coins, etc.

This way everything will go where they belong instead of in a random drawer in your kitchen or bathroom.

2) Use Dividers

Of course, you can still have a drawer that carries a few different random things but use dividers to prevent them from all mixing in together thus creating a junk drawer.

So you can have scissors, rubber bands, and coins in one drawer, just divide them accordingly and you won’t have to be searching for your items longer than you need.
