7 Devilishly Simple DIY Organization Ideas to Help You Declutter and De-Stress
Organization. That elusive state of having everything in its place, yet still at your fingertips. Organization is a both state of physical being and a state of mind. While some of us are lucky enough to confidently call ourselves organized, I think it safe to say most of us feel like being organized is something we are constantly chasing. Rather than focusing on how unorganized we are, the goal should be pouring the energy we expand on feeling overwhelmed into exerting control over our stuff and our lives. I’m sure even Martha Stewart feels like she can never come up with enough organization ideas to keep her life managed.

Tackle one offending area or room at a time. You will be amazed at how solving one organizational crisis will inspire you to move onto the next area of attack on your list.
