Welcome to Day 2 of the Lifehack Great Big Summer Giveaway. Today, let’s talk about organizing your home. Keeping your house, apartment, shack, or cardboard box organized and presentable is a constant struggle for most of us. There never seems to be enough space for all our stuff – and if we do find a place to put everything, we can never seem to find it again when we need it. Maybe you’ll be lucky enough to win a year’s subscription to The Clutter Diet and you’ll have professional organizers on-call 24 hours a day. But what about the rest of us? What can we do, right now, to straighten out the mess our home is in? Tell us your answer and we’ll send you out a Rubbermaid Collapsible Cargo Crate to move your stuff around in.
The Rubbermaid Collapsible Cargo Crate
The Rubbermaid Collapsible Cargo Crate is a great example of that innovation at work. In use, it’s a 17 3/4” cube with wheels and an extendable aluminum handle, perfect for hauling books, groceries, files, tools, or any other load up to 40 lbs. When not in use, it collapses to just over 3” thick, allowing you to store it handily in a cupboard, on the wall, or in the truck of your car. And it’s built with Rubbermaid toughness, for years of use. (Retail Price: $30)
How do you win?
This one’s easy – just leave a comment on this post with your favorite or most unusual tip for keeping your home organized. I’ll start you off with one:
Create a space by your door to be a “drop-off” point for keys, bags, and shoes. We use an entry table with bins for “pocket stuff”, a basket underneath for shoes, and a hook for purses.
Make sure you enter a valid email address where asked – it won’t be shared publicly and we never send spam. Entry for this contest will close at 12 NOON, PST, on Tuesday, the 26th of August. Winners will be chosen by random drawing – entries will not be judged. I will collect the best tips for a future post on home organization, so by entering you give Lifehack permission to quote your comment. The prize will be shipped direct from Rubbermaid.
Stay Tuned!
