just_the_things42. Make/refine my BookCrossing car kit
While I was going through my Real Simple magazines the other week, I found an article which discussed how to make your car-office more efficient. The article suggested buying a desk organizer for the passenger seat to put coffee, pens, papers/folders, etc. in. I thought that was a brilliant idea to use on my BookCrossing car kit. I have been using an old carboard box with a cookie tin inside and a paper bag before that... though those weren't very effective and I kept throwing stuff onto the passenger seat hither and thither anyway.
Yesterday at IKEA I found the perfect organizer for my needs for $3. It's got 5 sections- most of them pretty large, but the whole thing doesn't take up all the room on the seat so there's still room for my purse and lunch in the mornings.
Now there will be no more searching around for my post-its or pens, no more Post Office receipts or Delivery Confirmation slips all over the place! The best part is that everything is right there in one place and I'll be able to tell exactly when I run out of wet-release bags or post-its. I even included a little spiral notebook so I can make notes about where I wild released books and what their BCIDs were.
The result, which I'm very happy about:
