Organizing Tools for the Recession

Posted By janice on January 12, 2009

I held my annual Organizing Expo last week at work. In addition to my regular slate of office supply vendors, I had a “recession” table to show off items you can re-purpose into organizing tools. The most popular item on the recession table was the tissue box I used as a plastic bag holder. Everyone loved the idea.

Other ideas from the recession table:

  • Use a wine rack as a magazine rack or towel holder. This works perfectly in a guest bath during a party.
  • Spiral-bound index cards can be used as a holiday gift list. Use one page per person and scribble down ideas and sizes.
  • Use a weekly planner as a food and exercise journal.
  • Create your own recipe book by using a binder and a bunch of plastic sleeves. Tape all of those recipes onto paper and slide them into the pages. Divide your book into sections with a divider.
