Tips for Keeping Your Car Organized

Is your car the messiest place in your life? I hear this often and understand the struggle. Some days I'm just throwing things in there; whether to return items later that day, bringing a commuter breakfast or lunch, papers for work, and personal items to finish my look for the day are just a few I can think of off the top of my head. Some people spend long days in the car (over and over) so it makes sense that if not maintained, the car can become a disaster. If you have children, then that certainly adds to the mess.

Trash
It is so easy to accumulate cups, receipts, bags, wrappers and more. Time to clear it out! Ideally daily you should grab what you see as you leave the vehicle. If that is too much consider one of these to help keep the trash in its place! (But remember to clear it out often!)

Cords
Technology has become an important part of daily commutes and road trips. Plugging those cords can create a bit of chaos on the floor. These clips can certainly help you with the mess of cords.

Organize your daily items
If you are like me, you need a slew of items in your car to keep your day moving along smoothly. I have personal care products like lotion, sanitizer, and beauty products. I have over the counter meds, mints, floss, pens, and business cards. This is just the center console but it is indeed organized so I can find everything I need in an instant. A few products that help are:
Love these zipper bags. Many sizes to choose from. Also, I like this for easy sun visor access.
Need extra storage - no problem. I like this one because it is off the seat but very easy to access (also prevents purses from spilling over).

Things needed in the car

We all have things we want to keep in the car just in case it is needed. It might be daily snacks, videos or games for commuting,  cleaning items for unexpected messes, and items for the sports spectator just to name a few.
This one is great for the kids and those who need items in the car for work... Store that picnic blanket, extra water bottles, umbrellas, and work necessities (for me, I have a lot of tools I like to have on hand just in case).
This organizer is mesh and see through to help you find anything you (or the kids) need in a second.


The goal here is finding the right products to help you have a safe commute and keep your car from becoming a mess. The items above will absolutely help you achieve the satisfaction of finding everything you need. Be sure to empty the trash weekly and put items back in their place. When items sneak their way into your car, determine if they are necessary to have and remove if not needed. 

Do you have products you love? Still struggle to find the right solution - reach out and let me know your problem and we can figure it out together!
