For most people, outer order contributes to inner calm. But if you have the urge to clear your clutter, remember this (perhaps counter-intuitive) resolution: Don't get organized.

Good point about buying stuff to just re-order the dis-order.

I spend more time watching videos on how to organize than actually organizing.

i just found out dat de-cluttering is da same thing!!!! if we take a GOOD LOOK @ it, da clutter mountain will dissapear!!!!! Because we'll see what it is for what it is!!!!!! To Put bags for bag area + to put clothes to where it supposed to be after folding them!! Clutter Fountains or Mountains will go away if we just gaze at it well enough then, we'll know what to do finally.

i correct myself about what i mentioned about a Dante book!! -U see?? i didn't even read well den mentioned about it; dat was bad; i don't normally do dat but it was b-cause of FEAR dat was going to affect me bad or not. But as soon as take a good @ it -at least a GOOD GLANCE @ it, boom, da spook is gone n u'll see what it is. So, i learnt a good lesson there.

Totally agree! The first step is to purge. Organizing gadgets can add to the clutter if you are not careful. Thanks for the motivating words.

I do have a lot of books that I'm "storing," and am in the long process of donating the ones that I don't need to keep, to free up room -- but for that particularly shelf, I read them OVER and OVER. That's my children's literature bookshelf. How many times have I read Little Women? Countless.
