Clutter has a way of sneaking up on you. Here are ways to deal with it.
Go through your closets, garage, attic, basement and shed, and sell or donate things you don’t need.
Choose logical and convenient storage spaces for things you keep. Buy shelves, containers and hooks to organize.
Put odds and ends in a junk drawer.
Don’t make impulse purchases. Ask yourself if you really need an item and have room for it in your house.
Get rid of junk mail ASAP and create a system to organize documents you need.
Make sure you and your family put things where they belong and don’t create new clutter.
