Clear Plastic Boxes
When it comes to storage, I have very little space and even less patience. I seem to have too much stuff, but I also can not seem to part with it. I get this from my mother, but to my credit, I do not have nearly the amount of stuff saved as she does, and I do tend to throw more things away than she. However, with my limited storage, I have to stack things up in my small closets, and that makes it almost impossible to find the one thing that I might be looking for. I solved the problem (at least partially) but getting clear plastic boxes for storage.
When you see storage options in the stores, you may see a lot of the plastic tub types of boxes around. You may see green and red ones around Christmas time, and even pink and blue to go with children's bedrooms. What you may also notice is that some of them are solid, and the rest are clear plastic boxes. When you have limited space and must cram things all together in a few chosen areas, the clear plastic boxes are always the best choice. This is because you can see what is in them without having to take them all out and open them.
When I started filling my clear plastic boxes, I had to stop and start all over again. Though I knew I would see what was inside, you can not see all of what is inside. That meant my habit of just throwing whatever I grabbed into the same box was not going to work. Instead, I tried to separate what I had into categories - and I use the term loosely - so that I would have a better idea if I was on the right track when searching. One of my clear plastic boxes was for blankets, and the next was for books, etc. That does help deciding if I have found the right one.
I have also found that the clear plastic boxes are great for storage in the back of my car. Instead of having everything roll around back there, I have found a smaller box to put things in. That means everything I need is in the same place and is not clunking around each time I go around a corner a little too fast. Liquids like window cleaners stay upright, and I can always find things I might need in the dark right away. If you think this is something that would work for you, get the clear plastic boxes that will fit in your trunk and that have a secure lid for your car.
