Solutions to Clutter
In response to a question that I addressed last week on cluttering, I gave reasons why we clutter. This week I have listed several ways to actually deal with it.
Living a Nightmare
I am living a nightmare. I have boxes full of merchandise from a closed store, as well as boxes (which I've categorized) full of family pictures, school programs, etc. (I'm talking about 20-30 bins full of very special items).
Where Does the Time Go?
I know that there are people who seem to have time to get things done, but that isn't me. Any ideas you can offer to get even an extra hour a day would be wonderful. – Losing Time Daily

Stuff Gets in Your Way
I have previously written about the benefits of becoming organized, so here I am going to specifically discuss how keeping a disorganized household is a huge time-waster. It robs you of time: time to work on important and worthwhile projects, time with family or friends, time to regroup and decompress, and time to play.
