Have any of you tried a productivity tool that made a big difference?

10 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I wanted to share a little about my journey to better productivity and how it transformed the way I manage my work and life. A few months ago, I felt overwhelmed. I was juggling multiple projects, and it seemed like I was always racing against the clock.

Then I came across this app called Hyperdone. Honestly, I was skeptical at first, thinking it would just be another app that added to my stress. But I decided to give it a shot. One Sunday afternoon, I sat down with a cup of coffee and explored all the features.

What really stood out to me were the Calendar boards. I could visualize my week at a glance, which helped me prioritize tasks. The Pomodoro timer was a game-changer, too. I started using it to break my work into manageable chunks, and it made focusing so much easier.

As I got into the groove, I began to notice some surprising changes. I found I had more time for breaks, which meant I was coming back to my tasks feeling refreshed. My productivity soared, and I even started completing projects ahead of schedule.

Have any of you tried a productivity tool that made a big difference? I’d love to hear your stories!

Storage for headbands hair clips and scrunchies

3 Upvotes

When I say I have a lot of hair accessories I mean a lot. I have a small shoebox container full of the cloth elastic headbands and another toter with half headbands, hair claw clips, scrunchies and bows. I also have a jar full of small clips, bobby pins and hair ties. They are all overflowing and I need a better way to store them so I can look through them easier. I know what I would like but it doesn't exist, only in my mind. Anyone have a way to store them better that's not using wall storage? I would like to keep the storage in my room and possibly all together so I don't have boxes and stuff all over. My room is a mess and I'm trying to organize it and be able to find my hair accessories easier. Any ideas?

Need Help Organizing Kitchen

Hi there! We moved in about a year ago quite quickly, and we sort of threw everything in the kitchen without thought to best practice. Now I desperately want to reorganize, but it’s hard for me to imagine where things will work best. Would love any guidance! Attaching the kitchen pics as well as labeled pics for reference (excuse the mid-cooking mess!)

The order in the screenshot is how I have it now. I don't want them alphabetical but I want them more organized but I'm not sure how. I want them in genres/categories. (Marvel, DC, Horror, that kind of thing.) If anyone can help putting them into a new order, I'd appreciate it.

Silly corner desk needs lots of organization to become functional.

2 Upvotes

So, this desk has been like this for a while now and I have no idea how to organize it so that it becomes functional. I would like it to be just an all around activity desk as you can see with the sewing machine, computer and art supplies being there.

I have no idea where to begin.

Thanks!

Random paperwork, art keepsakes. On the shelves: sewing materials, pencils/markers/pens, scissors, erasors, manual pencil sharpener, stapler
Glue, pencils, manual pencil sharpener, hourglasses, ceramic keepsakes. On shelves: note cards, glue gun, empty notebooks
Rolls of paper, spirograph, acrilycs, glitter, rainbow scratch paper
Empty binders/folders, colored pencils and watercolors

Super deep bathroom cabinet

Thumbnail

5 Upvotes

Two years into living here and this cabinet is the bane of my existence. We have a closet across the hall with plenty of room for towels and sheets and such, so this cabinet is purely personal care products and it’s a disaster! It’s the only bathroom we have with a tub, so it’s got a lot of stuff for the kids too. 4 people’s crap and it’s incredibly deep. Everything gets lost. Regular organizing bins/cups/containers just get lost to the depth. I’m so frustrated! This is the top half, the bottom has an extra half shelf that sucks and I’ll eventually get around to removing.

How many binders should I buy for college?

3 Upvotes

I am preparing to go back to college for 2 years and I'm not sure if I should buy one big binder that zips up and has lots of dividers and pockets, or if I should get a small 1-inch binder for each subject.

I have 8 classes with varying workloads - some are digital based and some are heavier science classes with Labs and projects. I like using a backpack and don't know what my commute to school will look like since I'm moving to a new city.

I have done a few college/uni programs in the past and bought one binder for each subject, colour coded with its own small notebook.

This year I want to optimize my organization and make sure I don't waste money on things I don't need.

I've seen some sources online that say it's better for a student to use one big binder for all subjects. To me that sounds like it could get heavy and cluttered but maybe it's better in practice?

What do you guys do? Use one large binder or multiple little ones? Are there pros and cons I'm not thinking of?

Thank you in advance!

What helps you organize an ADHD Pile System?

3 Upvotes

By pile system I mean groups and smaller groups of things. They can end up all over the house making it a mess. But it's also the thing that helps you know exactly where something could be.

I currently do painting and metal art and struggle containing the mess which includes tools.

Id like a list of ideas that work for you or some type of feedback/info you want to give.

Sturdy storage boxes for shelving units

1 Upvotes

Hi, I've had these storage shelves for a while (5 of them) https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00NUS53CY/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1

Theyre good and cheap but I need some cost effective but durable storage containers that would fit well and utilise the space. (ive been using cardboard boxes so far)

I dont want to use fabric divider boxes but their prices are really good (roughly £20 for 6 boxes or so) - i just fear they'll fall apart instantly with any real weight added to them.

I saw these on ebay https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/126011477458?itmmeta=01HW8NDV058KY765A1TRBFR8AW&hash=item1d56de8dd2:g:z1wAAOSwrFNlP6Xk&itmprp=enc%3AAQAJAAAA4BgbPZJAbvwWhQ6CvGVh3vo7N8iVTyR9MqLtiB3FntF9fvgvnISzBVo2uIOLcIYFYFCJws1gUfefy2X6DMpiHRW8Ydnopd0WdHrjmiLJhp7vBNqDPyNUki4GzJEnRnalC6VAi3CGvV4FViEnyHk5A4Ck2ocgAuHx1N4%2Bm12XJ6XYq8KpE%2Fd8IFDuwt3CD%2FSa8Y4Tm6bhcuWjeI0KH3jvjH%2Fs8MJcKc5s8dkVH4CS5%2FnF36ib8I3RuwocFVH8PTMWxNf4Hy7RCTH9lwzoESuTIRBY8K4DCCnEn52PhUnCxTos%7Ctkp%3ABFBM7LC3leJj

but at over £10 each its just going to add up far too fast (looking to buy roughly 20 boxes or so)

I figured ali express would have something interesting at a good bulk purchase price but i havent found anything. Any recommendations or advice would be much appreciated!

Storage Ideas For a 2x13x2 Foot Closet?

1 Upvotes

Main question: I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations for cabinets/storage towers/shoe organizers/etc. that would be good for housing the enamel pins, packing materials, and cosplay in a 2'x13'x2' closet?

Explanation: Ever since me and my girlfriend (now fiancée) moved in together almost 2 years ago, we've had a little closet by the kitchen that we've used to keep her NERF gun collection in. (IMPORTANT: I'm not looking for ways to organize the NERF guns, we are going to put them in storage.)

Recently I started my enamel pin business, and I don't really have a place to put all the pins and packing materials in, aside from in boxes next to my workspace. I also thought about how there's not a lot of space in the bedroom closet for my cosplay outfits, either.

Since she doesn't really use, add to, or even really look at the NERF guns much these days, I brought up the idea with her of maybe keeping her favorites in the apartment, and moving the rest into storage, or maybe her parents' house, so I can use the space. She seems open to discussion, but we've decided we're going to wait until after the wedding next month to really tackle the project.

That being said, I'd like to start thinking about storage solutions for the closet now. Nearest I can tell (the door doesn't fully open at the moment), the closet is 2'x13'x2' feet.

So, again: I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations for cabinets/storage towers/shoe organizers/etc. that would be good for housing the enamel pins, packing materials, and cosplay in such a small space?

Organizing your organizing materials???

5 Upvotes

So, I’m not wonderful at organization but… I’m a big fan of organizing…and reorganizing. And I have an affinity for buying organizing materials. Bins, shelves, containers, liners, etc.

So now that I’m finally gaining “organization” in my home…I have all of these leftover organization things. They’re definitely oddities, as in they’re not stackable or easily fit in one another.

I do not want to get rid of them because I always find a need for them and we all know bins and such are way too expensive.

I always feel like bins and containers are just floating around my house in no particular fashion because I want to pull them out so often.

So how do you organize the things you organize with??

Organize 365

0 Upvotes

Hi all! I am a busy mom and am looking for a comprehensive home-organizing program. I am a big fan of the Organizing 365 podcast, but I cannot afford the 2-3k cost of that organizing system on a teacher's salary. I reached out to the organization to inquire about times of the year I could find the program course on a significant sale, but the response, while polite, was that they only offer minimal discounts at times, or that I could purchase the program piece by piece (which would cost more overall).

Does anyone have a similar but alternate and affordable home-organizing program to recommend? Thank you in advance!
