If you read Family Circle, you might have already caught the article on 55 Ways to Clear the Clutter. It featured some of my organizing pals Donna Smallin and Lorie Marrero, in addition to many other well known leaders in our industry...



Here are my top five tips offered... Kudos ladies on a job well done!

1. (#55) Taming the drawer with drawer organizers by Oxo.
2. (#45) Daily planner from momAgenda (duh... that one is a no brainer for me).
3. (#30) Don't waste time returning everyday clothing, like a pair of jeans or a robe, to it's designated spot. Try hanging a few hooks in your bedroom closet to keep favorites off the floor buy accessible.
4. (#5) Avoid the "my house is a mess" panic, and keep an empty storage ottoman or basket for a quick clean up (make sure it's big enough to stash all your stuff).
5. (#2) Slip your movie collection into DVD albums, organized by genre and recycle the empty cases.
