Organizing “Things”  

Physical clutter causes mental clutter. Be mindful that owning less stuff lends to a clearer mind. Let’s transform your personal space into zen and peaceful rather than cloudy and stressful.

Helpful Tips:

■ A popular organizing rule is to designate one drawer or bin for knickknacks. Once the drawer is full, it’s time to ask yourself, “Is there anything in here that doesn’t make me as happy as it first did?”

■ Follow this rule: One item comes in, an old item goes out. This prevents you from accumulating too much over time and won’t overwhelm you later.

■ For memories, get yourself a memory box and place the things that are important to you inside. Keep it in an area that is out of the way such as under your bed or in a designated storage area in your house.
