Instead of hastily flipping through your notebook trying to find a page sans scribble, opt for a new one that's customized to your organizational needs.

When you run out of writing space, switch out the used pages for new. This multi-tasking notebook is part of Martha's office collection at Staples.

Avid bakers are all too familiar with recipes that call for ingredients to be mixed in separate bowls. And when all is said and done, you've used almost everything in your kitchen. Replace your set of mismatched mixing bowls with a set that nests—we promise it makes a huge difference.

Make the most of shallow kitchen drawers with a divided tray that will keep contents organized and in place when the drawer is in motion.
