Price: $24

2. This over-the-door hanger stops you from being lazy and leaving stuff on the ground.

amzn.to

"I got one and it changed my life. I have a coat, work shirts, dressing gown, handbag, etc. and I can not be bothered going to my wardrobe and putting them on hangers every time I use them and take them off (plus my wardrobe is really small). This way, my clothes can easily be hung up and taken down in a more easily accessible place. Prevents me from getting lazy and leaving stuff on the floor or my bed." —Nicole Blow, Facebook

10. The Google Keep app makes coordinating grocery shopping a snap.

11. This key organizer helps you keep your shit together.

15. And this bathroom tote keeps all your small toiletry items organized.
