Organize Your Center Console

Your center console can look like this too!

(c) [2007] [Dena Pasis] licensed to About.com, Inc
The center console in my car happens to be pretty small which at first, I was disappointed, because I would have preferred more storage space. However, two years later after successfully utilizing the space with a minimal amount of functional items, I can't imagine what I would do with more space. The key to occupying this space is to keep it simple and functional:
  • A small notepad
  • A workable pen - I stress workable to save you the aggravation of it not working when you need to use it.
  • Kleenex - You can never be too prepared for the sniffles.
  • A little container - I use this for hair elastics and extra band-aids, little items that I need readily available.

Tip: Use your notepad to record directions to places you visit infrequently. This will save you time when you're rushing out the door for that appointment and forget where you need to go.
