“If you can’t locate what you are searching for in several minutes, it’s time to rethink where things belong. The more often you use it, the closer it should be.
“Enlist the whole family, not just Mom, to join the decluttering and organizing bandwagon.
“If one room or area is beginning to look messy and cluttered, tackle it ASAP!
“Give the living room, den or common area a quick pickup before going to bed.
“Toss out or put papers in the recycle bin every day, including newspapers and magazines.
“Keep lists or inventories of what you already have. If you don’t need it, don’t buy it.
“If something new comes into your home, many people say something old should go out. – Heloise
