So how do you make sense of all of these different things? Tier them based on how often you need them and how important they are. Be gentle with yourself about getting it all done in one day because decision fatigue is real. However, deciding what you need frequently and urgently and putting that in an easy access spot is a great place to start, says Decker.
One of the most important aspects of organizing is making sure items have a home, she says. “Organize a medicine cabinet as you would any project by assigning zones, creating homes, and containerizing. Assign homes and containerize your categories back into the medicine cabinet, keeping similar items together," says Decker.“Too much of a good thing is a bad thing.
“Weed out your toiletries to just the things you actually use. Give the extras to friends. Put the samples in a clear baggie and store them with travel toiletries. Only have what you really need and love to reduce overwhelm in the smallest room of your home,” says Decker.It's easy to just throw pills in a baggie if you lose the lid of a medicine bottle or want to take it on the go. But, this can actually be dangerous if someone else doesn’t know what the pills are or if children are around.
