Having a label maker that is easy to use — the ultimate key to keeping your space maintained & somewhat under control.
Don't be fooled into thinking you don't need labels because, after all, you set up the system so of course you know where everything goes.
The labels aren't necessarily for you, although sometimes even I forget where I placed something because I use it very infrequently.
Imagine, if I forget where items go sometimes as the professional organizer in my household, my family is definitely going to stumble. I don't want everyone running to me asking "where does this go?" every five seconds. So the solution...
LABELS!
Labels are for everyone in the home. This makes it common knowledge where things should be put back and where to find them in the first place. It takes the burden off one person and places responsibility on all members to keep an organized space.
Personally, I am a little bit lazy and don't remember to keep all the devices charged all the time. I like my simple, battery powered label maker for quick labels. You can always go back later and re-label with a fancier one but this gets the job done & keeps your system in check in the meantime.
Here are a few of my favorite label makers. Do yourself a favor - keep it simple. Buy one you know you will actually use!
My favorite. It's simple, easy to use, and does not need a charger. Running on batteries may seem old school but it's a quick change and you're back in business. Personally, I hate remembering to charge all my random devices & this is why I love the DYMO.
First off, how cute is this one! Not only does the device look adorable, the labels look great too! Keep it simple or get a little fancy. This maker can print so many designs while remaining uncomplicated.
It does use a charging cord & connects to your phone's bluetooth.
One of the best & used by organizers everywhere. This machine hooks up to your phone and uses an app to print the labels. I love the different size options and the wide labels.
Simple and easy to use. Battery powered so no dealing with power cords or charging. Keyboard style with easy to read buttons.
