Tips:
*The larger your junk drawer, the more junk you will accumulate! Choose a smaller drawer if this is your problem.
*Never use this drawer for storing important or expensive items such as keys, bill's, phone numbers or cell phone.
*Make sure that everything in the junk drawer is family accessible. If something is off limits or Dad's only, place it accordingly, but not in this drawer!
*Reorganize and check inventory of the junk drawer as needed but keep up on it. don't let it get out of control. This will help keep "loosing things" and unnecessary frustration to a minimum.
