***FOUR STEPS TO GETTING ORGANIZED***

Clutter can make your life feel more stressful than it is. Sometimes, just organizing the things around you can put EVERYTHING back on track. So, here are FOUR steps to getting yourself . . . and your stuff . . . organized . . .

STEP #1) TAKE INVENTORY. You're not going to get organized unless you start from a clean slate. So whether you're re-organizing your bedroom or cleaning out your desk, get everything out of there so you can start fresh.

STEP #2) GET RID OF THE THINGS YOU DON'T NEED. Ok pack rats , I'm sorry, but not everything you have is worth keeping. A clean slate means you can't hang on to the ratty t-shirts you never wear, or the loner sock that hasn't had a match in 2 years.

STEP #3.) GIVE EVERYTHING A HOME. Don't cram your stuff back in the same corner where you found it. And don't fill a big box with miscellaneous things. Instead, take a minute to figure out where things SHOULD go.

STEP #4.) PUT THINGS BACK IN A LOGICAL WAY. Now you're left with only the stuff you'll NEED, so put things back in a way that makes sense. Do it alphabetically or big-to-small, but do it in a way that will help you find something when you need it. (AskMen.com)
