You are not alone if you look around your house at the clutter and don't know how to fix it. "54 percent of America [is] overwhelmed by the amount of clutter they have, but 78 percent have no idea what to do with it or find it too complicated to deal with so they let it build up, taking over their homes and offices."

My strategy of getting one box a day organized will help to declutter your home systematically. Each day, begin in a specific area and organize that space by:

• Going through a box that is already filled and put items away

• Create a box to keep and store

• Get it out of your house
  

If you work on too many areas at once, you may become overwhelmed and not know what to do next. Don't get stuck in organizational paralysis. Create a journal or map out a plan for decluttering. There are some great books to use as a guide during this journey. Find them online - there are many options available. Track and see your progress over time. Once you start the process, create separate areas for:

• Donations

• Items to keep

• Things to throw out

Avoid distractions and remain focused on your daily plan, resist the urge to start multiple projects. Lightweight storage bags are useful and can be stacked on heavy duty shelves in your basement, attic, or storage closets.

By consistently sticking to this process, you will address a significant amount of your belongings and organize your home and life. Source: www.prnewswire.com
