get rid of my clutter

Every year, I got better at organizing my crap, whittling away at the piles and mysterious boxes. I got to a point where I was sooooo clooooose with having a clutter-free house that I just took a week off work and stayed at home. It was easy to either chuck, donate, repair, or put away, since I had a system going for several years now. What really helped me was when I cleaned out the garage half a year ago and constructed inexpensive white metal shelving ($75 from Lowe’s) so that I could store things neatly there. Once you have a place for the clutter that you want to keep, then it’s no longer clutter. If you have no space, then either you get more space or own less stuff. Good luck!
