Get sorted

Research has shown that being tidy and organised improves productivity. Your bedroom is most likely where you sleep and study. Whether it is palatial in size or more like a shoebox, there are things you can do to ensure it is a tidy conducive for study. If everything has a home it is easier to put it away when you have finished with it. I love K-Mart and Ikea for storage solutions but there are plenty of ways you can reuse-use items at home. Here are some of my favourites:

• Shoeboxes and other empty boxes - cover them in fabric, gift wrap or contact to make them look pretty
• Coffee cups including washed disposable ones
• Jam jars and other old jars
• Crochet baskets (I make my own - you can find the pattern at https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/little-colorful-bowls)
• Old tins
• Pencil cases and makeup pouches
• Empty pot plant pots
• Empty jewellery boxes are useful for sorting small things
• Lunch boxes
• Nice gift bags
• Empty milo tins
