r/organized

Hey everyone. So I have three roommates and we share a common area. I like my living sitch so far and my roommates are great, the only problem is the mail…it’s everywhere. On the table, the couch, the chairs, the floor. We all receive a bunch of mail pretty regularly. What makes it worse is that we’re all procrastinators so they tend to pile up. Add to that the random paperwork, receipts and old menus…our common area always looks like a total crime scene. And when we actually need to check them, they’re nowhere to be found. We don’t have a lot of space to spare but I figured we could get a wall mounted mail organizer. One of my roommates has said alibaba has the best options. I want something sturdy that won’t fall on us and has enough slots for everyone. If anyone has any suggestions of what could work please come to my rescue in the comments below, any recommendations would really help me out. Thanks. 

Background: I have a long list of medical issues with my skin which require me to have a ton of creams, ointment and special products. Some I use daily, and other I use as needed. Additionally, I have a whole lot of Rx meds in pill form.

Issue: I live between 2 houses and need to travel with EVERYTHING. I can’t get duplicates of most items because they are either Rx (so I can only get 1 at a time). I’d like everything to be easy to find, easy to transport by car, and stored in a way I can access them easily. I have minimal space at one of the locations, so I’d like to have them stored vertically on wheels, perhaps?

Last, it’s a nightmare keeping track of these meds. The tubes don’t come with instructions (the label is affixed to the outer box) and all the tubes look alike. How to keep track of everything?!

Total chaos!!!

Any and all suggestions would be so appreciated.
