'You're going to need a timer. So, for example, you've got 30 minutes for this task.
'Before you set the timer, you want to get an old sheet or towel. And for a junk drawer, you want to get a bowl of warm, sudsy water. Prepare a trash bin,' recommends Dr. Regina Lark.
'It's now time to do the junk drawer. Start the timer. Push the stuff on the countertop above the drawer away, and lay down an old towel. Put the warm bowl of sudsy water on the towel, take the drawer out and dump its contents over the towel.'
Throw what you don't need away, soak items that can be soaked in the water. Reorganize and declutter.
'Don't leave your workstation until the timer has gone off.'
