Reader tips are the best. Here are a few I recently received:

'I have 2 laundry baskets. One is for towels and underwear. The other is for dark and light clothing and for delicate lingerie. So most of the sorting is pretty much done; I only have to separate the dark and light clothing as I do not wash those together. And there may be other things one would want to wash separately, but most of the work is done sorting-wise. When our two daughters were still with us, there was a small basket in each of their rooms for clothing and they would put any towels, etc. in the basket in our bathroom. Hope this helps!'
(Patricia L)

'I decorate my home for many holidays and seasons. One thing I do which has helped is to take photos of the areas I have decorated, print the photos, and place them in the corresponding bins. For example, pictures of my fireplace mantle will go in the bin with the items I use to decorate the mantle. This has helped me to remember how I have decorated in the past and where items might go. Of course, I may decide to change it up a bit, but the pictures spark my memory.'
(Linda J.)

'I have several purses. Many I make myself as a quilter. I have my purse contents in zipper bags, makes it easier to find things, easier if you have an accidental spill, and quick to move to a new purse. A purse organizer is OK, but I find the pockets smallish. Plus, I limit my contents in my purse as too many things make them too heavy. I use a red one for February, green for March, a pastel for April, May is red, white and blue, orange for October, brown for November, and I enjoy Christmas so much that I change every week. In the summer, I use a beautiful string rattan bag. I get to see my favorites each year. If you only have a few essentials in your bag it is easy to change. When I'm ready to donate, I give to a women's shelter...they are always looking for these. I try to always reuse, re-purpose or recycle.'

For super quick details on how you can say goodbye to clutter, visit:

All people have clutter to some degree. You may have a little. You may have a ton. MOST people are somewhere right in the middle.

For anyone who has clutter, have no doubt in your mind that CLUTTER GROWS. Small clutter challenges soon turn into large clutter issues.

Plus, clutter is sneaky...it doesn't only show up in the pile of shoes you may have in your closet, the overload of toys in the toy room, the boxes of stuff in the basement, or the stuffed-to-the-max drawers and closets in your home. Clutter can actually invade your life in FOUR forms...

1. Physical Clutter
2. Paper Clutter
3. Digital Clutter
4. Emotional Clutter

Once clutter is here, it begins to wreak all sorts of havoc...

There is only one way to get rid of clutter...and that is by using a proven- effective clutter-removing system. Only then will you be able to face clutter head-on and have the clutter-free life you deserve.

Want to say goodbye to your clutter? I have just the thing you need for a glorious, clutter-free life. For more details, visit:
