People often launch into organizing clutter with good intentions.

They build new shelves and re-arrange drawers, or they buy one of the many millions of organizational gadgets at the shops.

Without assessing what you need the clutter can control you!

Do you really need to build those shelves for the boxes of clothes you haven't worn in 3 years?

Do you need to buy more filing cabinets for paper clutter that is now all online?

Assessing your needs is important for clutter control!

Ask yourself:

"What makes you feel good, or adds to your life?"

Once you know what items you want to keep, deciding where to put these items is the art of organizing.
