- clutter off of surfaces: kitchen table, dining room table, desk, tall boy (bedroom)
- car, I have allowed the floor behind the passenger seat to accumulate 'stuff
- Pick an area or theme (holiday, summer, etc) abd organize (this will challenge me)
bedroom closet
upstairs closet
- Make lists
'Rotation Box' don't display everything, store some objects in a box and rotate things
few months
'Come in Handy Box' when full, something must be discarded then add new item
'Clear a Surface' remove 10 items to a basket and spend 15 minutes around the house
putting them away
A good tip also is to de-clutter first and analyze storage needs then find right system to keep organized. I am putting off getting these jobs done so my first list is to keep this written on paper to remind me and to physically check off the jobs done. I tackled another drawer in my bedroom, yeah!
Well done is better than well said.

Having a checklist is awesome, but more importantly you need a DEADLINE to get certain jobs done! Like...finish the tall boy by Halloween or declutter the living room by Thanksgiving and the kitchen by Christmas (which you really should do!). Stuff like that.
