WHAT’S THE FIRST THING TO DO WHEN BEGINNING AN ORGANIZING PROJECT?

No matter what the project is, the first step is to evaluate the space and eliminate things you don’t need. It’s a lot easier to see the full scope of what you’re working with when you remove everything and group items into categories on the floor or on a table in front of you. With a pareddown pile, you can decide on a functional system that fits your space and lifestyle.
