Declutter Your Home and Learn to Live in Simple Style

You don't need to move away and start over to get a clean and organized place to live. Just making a plan to conquer the clutter can help you dig out of the mess in 30 days.
Start on the road to recovery now. Make a Plan. Do it now...at the least the planning can begin. If you can find a notebook and pen, make a list of what your priorities are. Do you just want to be able to sit down without having to move something out of the way or do you have a dream goal of opening your closet and being able to reach right in and get the outfit you want with the first try? Really do take the time to jot down a few goals. Save the paper for later so you can see how far you have come when you are nearing the finish line.
Start simply. Just make a Fast Pass with trash sack in hand. Now is a good time to use those plastic grocery bags and stuff them with trash, broken toys, pens that are out of ink. If you will just spend 30 minutes this first run, you will be surprised how much you can accomplish.
Think Simple. For so many years, I had so much clutter that I could not find what I wanted when I needed it. I would repurchase something rather than spend hours looking for it. That was a waste of time and money.
You will find that plastic totes and baskets can be your trusted friends. Look for resources. Do you have a cabinet or bookcase that is running over with things you aren't using? Measure the space you have available and find containers that will fit inside those shelves. Purchasing good baskets and containers is a lasting investment
I found three rectangle baskets were just the right size to organize a bookcase in my hall. This became the perfect place to store childrens videos and craft items so my grandchildren could reach their favorite things when coming to visit. The baskets fit three across a shelf and occupy two shelves of the book case. It also helps the children keep their things neat and tidy and develops good habits that will last them a lifetime.
