[quote=Anonymous]Pick your biggest issue. One thing. Do you want to organize the kitchen? The family room so you can all sit down? Perhaps your bedroom so it is peaceful.

Then decide how you want to tackle it. Maybe the kitchen is big, so you need to hire an organizer. Or maybe you want to do it yourself. Maybe hiring help for the family room will help you & spouse make decisions about things.

If you're hiring someone, this is when you call them and schedule it. If you're doing it yourself, break it down into manageable pieces that take a reasonable amount of time. Maybe you can organize the tupperware tonight, but need a 3 hour window on Saturday morning to reorganize the cabinets.

Come up with your three categories of keep/donate/trash and decide where to put each item. Schedule a pickup for the donate pile -- this will keep you motivated! Add to it each night.

It didn't get to be a disaster in a day, so it isn't going to be fixed in a day. Give yourself grace as you get it all back in shape.
