I know that we are well into the 21st century, and technology is already booming; buttttt, I’m pretty guilty of hanging onto my instruction manuals. Even though it’s pretty easy to access anything regarding regular maintenance online, there’s just something I love about having a physical hard copy. If you are a manual hoarder, like me, these organization ideas will change everything!
First things, first! Break out a filing cabinet and give it a new purpose: manual organization! Give each category a different colored tab. Categories could include, laundry room, kitchen, living room, etc. Use whatever category system you’d like, just make sure the colors match!

Don’t have the space for a filing cabinet full of all things home? How about just a binder? Purchase binder dividers at your local supermarket, categorize accordingly, and place everything you could ever need in the pockets! What a great place to put the information for your Kitchen-Aid warranty. That would be something awful to lose! Find this, and other organization tips here.
This one is for the kiddos….or..maybe not! Lego sets are a novelty around here, and after awhile, those manuals really take a beating! Especially if they’re just stacked around a bedroom or playroom. Instead, store your Lego manuals in a binder full of sheet protectors. Tuck each manual in between the sheet protectors, and save them for years to come! Catch it at Blissful Roots.
Do you remember when a collapsable “filing cabinet” was the coolest thing to have in your backpack? I swear everyone in my 9th grade class was caught carrying one of these! Not only are they a great option for your homework, they’re an even better option for your home manuals. You could hide this anywhere because they pack down so small! From Alejandra.
