When I'm feeling unmotivated or overwhelmed by clutter, organizing even one junk drawer or closet gives me a sense of accomplishment that can kick-start my productivity. There are a few items that always seem harder to keep organized, though, like batteries. (I mean is it even a junk drawer if you don't have a handful of random batteries in there and you can't even remember if they're still good?) But the right organizer can make all the difference to keep organizing efforts from becoming futile. For example, my spice cabinet finally stayed organized once I got a multi-tiered spice shelf that allowed me to see and access all my spices. If you're hoping to tackle some easy, satisfying organization jobs in your home, check out these handy storage products to help you get control of the clutter once and for all.

Jewelry can be a tricky thing to organize and pack. At home, if you store jewelry in a large container without proper dividers, it can be hard to find what you're looking for, but if you store it out in the open, it can easily take up a lot of space and make a room look cluttered. For your go-to jewelry staples, a compact zip-up bag like this one is an excellent solution for keeping your most worn items in one place. Plus, you can toss it in a purse or backpack for taking on the go and know your favorite pieces will stay tangle-free.
