18 Mind-Blowingly Freakin’ Genius Organization Hacks

Because we can’t all be Marie Kondo.

Is everyone sick of decluttering yet?

Yeah, yeah, we all know Marie Kondo says we need to get rid of anything that doesn’t “spark joy” when we hold it in our hands. But guess what? Sometimes you have to hang on to stuff that doesn’t necessarily make your heart swell with affection every time you think of it. Electrical cords, for example.

So for all those things you need to keep around, here are some amazing organization hacks to get them all in order – plus some tricks to get your life in order, too. Because a tidy space is a happy space – even if everything in it doesn’t exactly spark joy
