A great organizing tip in controlling clutter is applying a Golden Rule in organizing. If you buy one new item, it is time to get rid of an old item. One In, One Out! If you have a collection of items, say too many cowboy boots, then consider when you buy a new pair, you actually get rid of two. This will narrow your collection so you can add new items, without running out of space.
Review my post, Sorting by Emotion, to determine what items in your collections are friends, acquaintances or strangers. This will help you determine what you love and what is OK to let go.
Be a more conscious consumer. Prior to buying something new, think about where it is going to go in your home. Everything has to have a place to live. Do you have the space? What do you need to get rid of in order to achieve the space you need?
Being aware, will in turn cut the clutter you bring into your home!
