Cleaning

Prioritise your items
Essential items that you use every day should get the first preference in your drawer. If you have more items piled up then create a separate storage facility like a cupboard to stock in the extra or unnecessary items. 

Inbuilt drawers
You can build a secret drawer like a drawer inside the chest of another drawer. It will be smaller in size and will be ideal for keeping smaller things in. It will also save the actual drawer from clutter.
