Welcome to Day Three of the 31 Days of Organizing Tips series!
The first step in organizing is to de-clutter. We live in a culture that is crazy about "stuff" and we accumulate a lot of it! Before organizing what you have (and definitely before buying any storage containers!), take some time to assess what you really need and use. Chances are you have a lot that you didn't know you had or rarely use, and maybe even some things you don't like that much. The popularity of shows on hoarding and de-cluttering show how much of an issue this is.

Happy organizing!
