Everything in Its Place

First, assign a home for every item. With a spot for everything, there's no guesswork. Therefore, tidying up then becomes second nature. And you don't need elaborate storage. Simple baskets, boxes, and trays can work wonders. And remember, labeling these containers adds organization. It helps you and your household keep things in order.

Chaos to Calm - Declutter Regularly

Remember, clutter isn’t just physical; it’s mental weight. Therefore, regularly sorting through your things can be liberating. It helps you find what you no longer need or want. Adopt a policy of “one in, one out” to keep things in balance. For every new item that enters your home, consider letting an old one go. This approach keeps clutter at bay.

Good suggestions, I also think handling things once is a great plan for mail and paperwork. Don't keep moving it around and letting it build up. Just open it, and decide what you want to do with it, throw it away, respond or store it.

As I age I have less patience for clutter. If I don't use it, I donate asap.

Hello Rocky - sometimes it's difficult to see the big picture.    However, viewing different parts piece by piece, can help sort out confusion.

Hi Rocky- it's overwhelming when you look at everything you need to do. Take one drawer...one closet...and keep going.
