If you have a work locker, how do you keep it organised?

I have one of theos half length ones. I keep my change of clothes and shoes, toiletries, pens, paperwork and handbag in it. Any ideas for not having to pull everything out to find anything in it?

How about using packing cubes?

The plastic blue trays that grocers get their packs of mushrooms in used to fit inside mine perfectly when I had a locker, which was perfect as I had to hotdesk and could put my desk stuff in it and then just pull it out and return if at the end of the day

I have a Really Useful box that's see-through, and my stationery goes in there alongside teabags and coffee.

All reference and training material goes into a magazine file. I can see at a quick glance what I need, or pull out the whole file and carry it to my desk.

I have random bits of computer equipment (cables, mice, etc) and that goes into a tote bag.

Work laptop is kept at the side of the magazine file so it doesn't fall over.

The only thing that isn't inside something else is my mug. It makes it so much easier to get to things. I'm actually weirdly proud of my locker. Blush

Mine is tiny, it has a jar of coffee, a couple of cans of soup, a plastic microwave soup mug, some cutlery, and a packet of tampax in it. There could well be some painkillers in there too. It all just gets wedged in Tetris style. Not enough space for finesse.

I don't keep much in mine... but it's all in plastic shoebox. We hot desk and work out of various locations so I have a wheeled laptop case which has all the essentials. When I am in the office I tend to reorganise shoebox and my work bag, I make sure that there is a stocked basic vanity kit in there and I usually have a clean (white or black) long sleeved t-shirt in my locker too - I've lost count of the times I've spilt my coffee down myself!

Thanks for the suggestions.

I've got a small crate which can take A4 folders plus stationery/pens which I pullout and carry to the (hot) desk. Then I've got a small bag beside it with a jar of coffee, my mug, a makeup bag with mascara and tampons, and a tiny purse with a spare £10.

My laptop comes too/from work with me but if I leave it at work overnight i balance it on top of the crate in the locker.
