What I suggest in my book, Organize Simplicity, it's to take three basic steps and to do them all over your home, and I have found that most people's homes have about 10 areas where they can concentrate on once a day. The three steps are to (1) de-clutter, (2) clean, and (3) organize, and those sound pretty simple, but to me the most important stuff is to de-clutter. To me, we all have more stuff than we could possibly need, or use and we think that we need it all, but really, we honestly don't. I like this quote from an architect in the 19th century, named William Morris, and he said, "Have nothing in your home that you do not believe to be useful or know to be beautiful." So I encourage people to think through as they de-clutter; is this thing useful? And is this thing beautiful? What that means is just to think about whether your family really does use it, and whether your family really values that item, and if you don't, there's a pretty good chance you don't need it. It feels a little scary and feels a little different to get rid of the thing that you think you just absolutely have to have, but when you stop and take the effort to think about whether you really need it, and you realize you don't, it's actually pretty freeing to get rid of the stuff. I think once you've gone through that effort of de-cluttering, then the cleaning and the organizing is just basically giving your home a good scrub and then putting it back together. As long as you put it back in a way that makes sense, where everything has a home, then the de-cluttering is the hardest part, because by then you have room for the things you really do love, and those things shine so much more because now you've made the space for them. The 10 steps really have to do with what your home is like, so really, some people can take 12, some people might need only eight, it just depends on your home and the rooms, and what you use your home for.
