10 Causes and cures for clutter
Cause #7: We place more value on things than things deserve.
Cure: If you can live with the consequences of not buying something, then you can live without the thing.
Cause #5: We don't buy good quality in the first place, and we waste time and space on items that need to be returned, mended, or exchanged.
Cure: Purchase the best quality that you can afford of the item that you need.
Cause #4: We save things for "someday" when we think we might need or use it.

Identify your problem area, and try one of these solutions to get started.Store things where you use them to make them easily accessible. Organizing Is Boring.Lets' face it—organizing and putting things away everyday is a dull, repetitive chores. Make it more appealing and fun by adding a sense of personal style. Limit how much you keep for sentimental reasons and hold on to only the most important 20 percent in each category: kid's artwork, old clothes, etc. Make letting go of the rest easier by giving it away to a friend or charity. Remember, you can still own all of the memories of your past without holding onto every physical reminder of it.Don't do your whole space all at once. Go slowly. Start by creating one clutter-free room. If the experience feels good, create another room like that, then another. Remember, an organized work or living space is a much nicer "retreat" than a cluttered one.Hope these tips also help.
