No. 1: Drawer Inserts. In a commercial kitchen, the cooks would have all their ingredients prepped and sitting out in nine-pans or bowls, so they can just grab and go as they turn out dish after dish. In a residential kitchen, it's nice to have a spot for everything — silverware, utensils, foil, jars of spices, dried fruit, nuts, etc. You may not be a professional chef, but you can aspire to organize like one!

Finding a ProReady to dive in? Not so fast. You first need to find the organizer who's a good fit for your needs and style. Consider these pointers:• Be specific about your wish list. Do you simply have one or two problem zones — say, a cluttered home office or overstuffed pantry? Or is your house one big, overwhelming jumble? Do you want the pro simply to come up with a plan of action that you can implement on your own, or will she be doing the heavy lifting? Think through your needs so you can find the right person to tackle them.• Budget accordingly. Fee structures vary widely, but expect to pay roughly $50 to $90 per hour. The average room can be completed in one to three full days, but variables such as size will dictate the amount of time needed.• Decide how involved you want to be. Some professional organizers like to operate independently, taking full charge of the process; others prefer more client input along the way. Which style will be most comfortable for you?• Search reputable sources. If you know someone who's used a local organizer, ask detailed questions about the process, results and follow-up. The National Association of Professional Organizers has an excellent directory, including information about each member's background and specialties. Browse the websites of those in your area, if available, and then give the most promising candidates a phone call. You're looking to check off several things: Are your personalities a good match? Will the organizer's style mesh well with yours? Do her policies, professional manner and communication skills inspire confidence or raise red flags? Don't be shy about asking if you can talk to a couple of her previous clients, too.

Optimize your drawer space. Once you have created extra room by culling unnecessary duplicates (do you really need five whisks?) and tools you do not like or use, rethink the contents of your drawers, one by one. For instance, you might rather have a canister of frequently used tools on the counter and use your drawer space for spice jars or teas instead. Or you could install one of those magnetic knife racks and free up room for your everyday dishes where they will be easily reached. Think creatively — this is your kitchen, and it should work for you.

How to Organize Your Kitchen DrawersTime: 2 to 3 hoursMaterials needed: Cleaner, dust rags or paper towels, contact paper, sticky notes (such as Post-its), pen, donation box. Additional organizers are optional.Tip: Take a before shot of your messiest drawer so that you can feel extra satisfied when this is all over.
