Organize your tangled jewelry.
I stole this image from the interweb, but this is an example of what my jewelry looked like before.
It always took me FOREVER to get what I wanted from the jewelry pile. And if I could get a necklace untangled, I wouldn't be able to find the matching earrings, or even a pair of matching earrings. I've tried hanging them, putting them in compartments, etc. But it seemed like any time my necklace chains came in contact with each other, it resulted in a mess.

Last night I untangled all my jewelry...

Oh, and reorganized my storage bins in the bathroom. It's a mess.
