    Great job, Alejandra! I know you love post-it s (just like me!), and through a organizing project I found out those long, clear Dollar Tree bins are the exact size of a post it! Awesome for desk drawers. (The same bins you used to organize your friend's classroom.) What a fun series! The colors you use make me so happy. P.S. YOUR SHIPPING DRAWER ROCKS!!

    • @HomeOrganizing
      @HomeOrganizing  Před 10 lety +11

      Thank you!! It's so fun to use the shipping drawer, haha! :) And YES! I have seen real post-its at Dollar Tree!!! Does yours have a lot of colors? Mine only has orange-ish/yellow, blue, and gray! And sometimes dark purple (which is too dark to write on) lol.

      I have seen hot pink a few times! I don't always see them, though. When I do, especially in fun colors, I always grab some :) I hope they start carrying more variety soon! xo!

  • @karengreen2437
    @karengreen2437 Před 4 lety

    Love watching the organizing in the office. I am a naturally organized person but since moving I have wrestled with organizing my office area. We downsized so I now have an office area beside my kitchen. Basically my desk and file cabinet are beside the kitchen. I don’t have a designated room. So it needs to stay very clean and clear but I want it to be easily functional. That’s where my problems come in. Love the poly envelopes!!!

    Thanks a lot for all of your helpful videos Alejandra. I've been moving frequently over the past few years and would love to get some tips on how it is best to organize moving.
    One tip that we've used time and time again is clear moving wrap (similar to kitchen wrap, only bigger) around any container and things that can pop open (desk-drawers full of things removed, wrapped, moved to new location and then the only thing to do is to remove the wrap and slide the drawers back into place)

    The museum putty is brilliant! Drawer dividers sliding and sloshing around has drove me crazy for years, and I've invested too much time searching for components that are just the precise size. Thank you so much for the video!

  • @divine_punk
    @divine_punk Před 9 lety +1

    All you haters thinking she has a problem you obviously don't have a hobby. Believe me once I started following her organizing techniques I have been more productive in my personal life and my business and life feels so much better. She's a big help!!

  • @TheSmallRos
    @TheSmallRos Před 7 lety +1

    I really think it's uncalled for that anybody would watch these videos of this nice seeming woman just to post rude and bullying comments. Her home makes her happy and she's showing us what's worked for her!

  • @falteringwriter
    @falteringwriter Před 8 lety +1

    Help! I can't stop watching your videos! :) I'm taking away sooo much great information. I needed an idea to help my two middle school girls. One is so disorganized and the other is suffering because "I'm" so disorganized and don't know how to help either of them. I love the videos about organizing the school binders. I saw that you used the mounting putty for the homework caddy but it never occurred to me to use it in my office drawers! I have these plastic "baskets" that I thought would be a good idea to ziptie them together to keep them from moving around in my drawers, but it was a bigger disaster than my original problem. The mounting putty is going to be a huge solution to my desk drawer issue and many others around the house. I never thought to use it for anything other than hanging things on walls when you didn't want a nail hole. Thank you soooo much. You have no idea how much of a difference your videos are going to make in mine and my family's lives.

  • @dwdw4499
    @dwdw4499 Před 5 lety

    I love your ability to organize so well, it's a mindset as well as stopping yourself from getting frustrated when you're looking for something when that time arises. Needless to say, I'm at that frustrated stage. Not to blame anyone else in the house... however when I do make an effort to organize anything which I'm sure that it's very clear that I'm in the process of doing so, or you have actually finished that project. Not everyone in the house has the same thought of mind which turns it back into a mess. I'm getting there slowly one step at a time, not to worry.

    I just love this video so much :) I've actually been watching alot of your videos latley and I went on your website to look at some of the products I could use to make my life a whole lot easier so I made a list and then I went online to ebay and bought a desk drawer organizer, a flipfold for my shirts, a label maker, a bra/sock/underwear drawer organizer, the cable drop organizers, and a black rotating lotion organizer. So once they get to my home, I can start using them and I feel like my life will be alot simpler.

    Hi Alejandra! I wish you posted a video each and every single day! I think I watched this one already 5 times. I wanted to tell you that I like ironing my clothes because I like the warmth on them while ironing and how they seem nice and new every time! I also watch cool videos while ironing, which makes everything cozier. I usually watch full episodes of TV shows or Home Organizing Video's and the time just flies. :) Now you know someone who likes ironing. :) Hugs!

    I just discovered your YourTube channel and I am loving your videos. I giggle occasionally because I wonder if you would be as organized if you had three children constantly un-doing your organizing (as I have), but you are motivating me to get things thrown out or put in place. I have a desk that I love, but it doesn't have any drawers. Have you organized a desk that only has a top surface? I will keep watching and seeing what ideas I can utilize for my space/needs.
