Want to get organized but don't know where to start? Assemble garbage bags, boxes, paper and marker. Define your target area (which room you want to work in) and write on your papers  KEEP     THROW AWAY    RECYCLE    DONATE   SELL   STORE   MOVE TO ANOTHER ROOM. Then sort all items in the room into the respective piles. Move the garbage and recycling out. Take the donations to your favourite charity. Take the items to sell to your favourite consignment store, or post them on the internet, or set a date for your garage sale (but move them out of the existing room in the meantime). Pack the items to be stored into bins or boxes and store them. And move anything that does not fit with the vision of your room into its proper room. Then place the items that you are keeping back into their perfect place in your room. Once you start, don't stop til you are done. Congratulate yourself, and tackle another room when you have the time and energy.
