21 Routine clean: Set aside a few moments, whether it's five or 45 every day, to clear clutter. Set a timer or alarm so you don't forget and concentrate on one area per daily session.
22 Fresh freezers: How often do you clean your freezer? Sometimes we banish food to this cold oasis, then promptly forget about it. Keep an updated list of your freezer's contents so you know what you need, what you can keep and what needs to go in the garbage.
23 Be realistic: Know your organizing style. If you're naturally tidy then a lot of hidden, compartmentalized storage and minimal displays will be right for you. If you're more comfortable living in organized chaos then don't be afraid to show off what you've got. Spend time styling what you've organized, getting rid of and moving things around until you're satisfied with how everything looks.
24 Just say no: With the advent of the Internet you don't need to be taking in all those extra papers that create clutter. Resist the temptation to pocket brochures, flyers and menus. Instead, record the name and number on your phone or in your agenda book.
25 Laundry loss: Use a basket or bag to house single socks in the laundry room. At the end of the month, empty it and reunite the missing pairs.
