While my mom might have thought she was punishing me as she dumped my messy dresser drawers together in a pile on my bed. . .  She didn't realize I would learn to sort, fold and organize at a young age.   She gave me the tools to organize my bedroom and school work,  and  later on my own home and workplace.  

Using pictures from a dept. store catalog, a marker and drawer liners she would draw lines on the paper so she could divide my drawers into sections where my clothes should be and placed pictures of what should be in each section, ​t-shirts, socks, jeans etc..  She showed me what an organized drawer should look like.   I learned that everything had a place.  

As I got older she taught me to use her Dymo label maker that she used to keep her office neat and organized.  I learned  to label binders, drawers, supplies and tools  so I could find what we needed quickly.  Her skills were something she used everyday to keep our large family Organized.
