Many individuals have a room in their home where they keep the many items that they save that they don't really have to and many of us have a problem getting rid of things that we do not need. Often after years of collecting clutter we tend to end up wit a disorganized home and the problem just gets worse. Maybe your junk drawer is over flowing, maybe there is an avalanche when you open your closet, maybe you go to pull a sweater out of your dresser and all the clothes in the drawer come out, or maybe you have to tip toe around a room in order to keep from bumping in to anything.
Whatever your clutter is and wherever it may be it can definitely be annoying when it gets in your way but there is hope for an organized home. All you have to do is commit to organization, grab some boxes, garbage bags, and storage containers and detach yourself from all that junk you really do not need. Here are a few tips to help you get your home organized quickly and easily.

The first thing you want to do is go through all of your paper clutter because often this is what many households have the most of. If you can look in your junk drawer and find bills from last year then you know you have a problem. There is no doubt that you will have some thing that are quite old that you still want to keep so you should get a small plastic bin to place such items in so that you can put them away somewhere a little less in the way such as a closet or attic. You should only keep out those papers that are from within the last year and an accordion file works great for such items because you can organize them by subject or date.
Next you will want to go through your clothing. Clothing is another source of much clutter in the home and can make the process of getting ready to go to work or anywhere else a grueling process. It would be nice if you could get in to your drawer or closet and get an article of clothing without pulling them all out. Bag those clothes that you do not wear and donate them to your local thrift store and you will have much more room for the clothes you love.
Next you should ditch all of those old shoes that you just can't bear to throw away. If you have not worn them in a year or two the chances are that you never will so stop saving them. Send them off to the nearest goodwill or chuck them in the garbage and make room for those shoes that you do wear.
Getting organized can be a difficult task, especially for those that let the clutter build up to begin with but when you are finally living clutter free you will be glad that you took the time to organize home for you and your family.
