You know that old expression "Messy house, messy mind." In many ways, if you're physical surroundings are disorganized and messy, your productivity will decrease, and your stress will increase. Here are some tips for overcoming this hurdle:

Messy rooms, disorganized closets, and jumbled junk drawers add unneeded hassle to our already hectic days. I can't think when things are cluttered! So I've learned a few tricks to control the clutter. I sort and toss the stuff I don't need or want, and I keep the necessities of life tucked away, out of site but easily accessible.

Even small homes have space for storage. Under the bed, at the back of a closet, under the sink -- all these spaces can be used to hold out-of-season clothes, toys, sports equipment, and unsightly trash bins.

Donating useful but no longer needed items, getting rid of unwanted junk, and keeping what we do need neat, accessible, and as invisible as possible let our personal spaces become welcoming havens instead of uninviting areas that make you want to run away. In an ideal world, every room of your house should be neat as a pin and organized alphabetically. But we know that's pretty much impossible. After all, we do have to live our lives, and making a mess is sometimes part of it. But the storage solutions in this section can help you keep your stuff restrained.
