Color-coding Keeps You Organized

This is my basement where I keep all my teacher stuff. I like to color-code things as much as I can to make it easier for me to locate things when I need them. For example: the white bins on the right are all supplies that I have collected over the years, including pencils, crayons, post-its, etc., the green bins on the top shelf are books sorted by children's authors, the blue bins are sorted by series, and the yellow bins are sorted by genre.

I will let the picture do the rest of the talking - but let me say this - one thing that has really helped me stay organized, both at home and in the classroom, is color-coding things! You should try it too!
