Keep your workspace organized and fun with simple solutions like using labelled glass jars to store writing tools and knickknacks.

Being unorganized increases stress and adds chaos to everyday life, which is exactly why organization is essential. Staying organized is simple when your life is stress-free, but when you're stressed out, organization quickly becomes a challenge. With an "always on the go" student lifestyle, we need our days to run as smoothly as possible, and organization is the path to a calmer life.

Organization can easily be turned into a fun and creative project. There are many different types of products that will help you keep organized and add character to your space — no one ever said organizing had to be boring.

The homework area is a prime spot that can quickly become a hectic mess. There are a few simple and easy ways to help keep this busy area neat and tidy:

Using jars to separately store your working utensils like pens, pencils, paperclips and elastics is one unique way to help keep everything in place. These jars can be colourful or clear — whatever your preference. You can get creative by labeling or adding pictures on the outside of the jar to indicate what is on the inside. Place these jars on the top of your workspace for the easiest access to these utensils.

Drawer organizers are another solution to keeping your tools organized and out of the way. This solution will keep everything off the workspace, allowing for a cleaner area. Drawer organizers come in a variety of shapes and sizes to accommodate for the variation of drawer sizes. Pick ones that will fit best in your drawer and allow for the maximum organization. These containers also come in a variety of colours and patterns to keep organizing fun and funky.

Bookshelves are not just for holding books; there are a few items you can add to create a more visually appealing shelf. Colourful baskets can be used to organize small items. Incorporating pottery pieces and pictures will add more personality to the shelf. A bookshelf can easily be turned into a piece that allows for organization and creativity.

An ottoman is a stylish furniture piece that has two functions: it has a design structure that allows you to sit on top of it and has a storage compartment. An ottoman's storage compartment is great for storing all of your extra clutter, which will lead to maximum organization. Having a piece of furniture that has two great assets is a must for your space!

Don't feel stressed out and overwhelmed by an unorganized room. By adding these organization pieces, there is no doubt that you will have a creatively organized space. Organization is the key to a calmer lifestyle.
