More On Organizing [LIST]

Kitchen: "Even Emeril doesn't need 6 spatulas and 4 whisks!" 2 each, max!
          Appliances (microwave?) off the counter! Keep counters clear!

Desk: Create Zones (Bills, Stationary, Mail, Reading, etc.)
          Purge!

Books: Donate ALL that do not fit into 3 criteria:
          -Books you love.
          -Books you read regularly.
          -Books whose content cannot be found on the Internet.

Knick Knacks: "You should own nothing that is not useful, beautiful, or loved."

Photos: Keep the gems, toss the rest.
          Ex. blurry, unflattering, redundant, bad shots. Organize into broad categories rather than labeling each.

Makeup: Sort & Purge! (Older than 6 months, etc.)

Closet: Let things go. Turn hangers backwards and purge unused items in 6 months.
          "When something new comes in, let something go."
          *Shoe storage ideas: Ikea Hemnes? Trones?

Clutter: Be sure ALL ITEMS HAVE A "HOME."
