Hi all, just a quick question about the little bits you use alot. So I'm trying to declutter and sort through the house but, I'm stumped on what to do with the little bits we use daily such as headphones, charger adapter etc. Its only a few bits but I seem to just move them from surface to surface. They never go away to their homes as they are straight out again. Although I am making progress having stuff about is not helping so hopefully one of you has a great idea. Thanks

Chargers in daily use stay plugged in. Headphones belong to individuals and stay with them, or I roll them up and file them in the Man Drawer. Adapters live in there too.

Is that any help at all?

I think that's the problem I currently don't have a man draw..

Every house needs a man drawer. Ours has a cutlery tray in, so is divided into roughly 5 areas, and is split into "phone stuff", adapters, little DIY stuff (tiny screwdrivers, a couple of allen keys, tape measure, stubby pencil for tucking behind your ear, etc), elastic bands and little clear bags, sticky stuff (command strips, blue tac etc) and the very front one is full of emery boards because I'm sick of the menfolk swearing they have no use for them, the running off with mine!

Chargers stay in bedrooms in our house. Headphones are in a wooden bowl in hallway with keys. I try and put stuff away but it's stuff like kids spelling sheets etc that loiter on my work surfaces.

I have one of these and it’s very useful for this sort of stuff. It’s mainly filled with various chargers. I’ve even labelled all the drawers Blush

this

goes upstairs with me at night and down again in the morning. And like a handbag is periodically dejunked

I have a small tech box on the kitchen counter. It's under the double plug socket so anything charging can also live there.
