Labels

"You call spending 8 hours alone with my label maker, wasted time?" - Monica on Friends

That quote explains my love for my label maker.
 

Labels are very important to organization.   Here's why:

1. Make sure you know where everything is, especially if your container is not clear.
2. Labels (in theory) keep you from having a dumping ground. If you have a basket labeled gloves, you are less likely to put hats and scarves in the basket.
3. Helps roommates and family members know where items belong.

There are many different types of labels, including:

1. Stickers made with a label maker.  These are best for plastic containers, shelves and drawers
2. Round paper labels with strings that loop around handles. These are best for baskets where the stickers won't stay.
3. Pictures of what toys belong in which bin.  These are best if you have kids.  They can match the item to the container.

Have fun with your label maker and label, label, label!
