Organization Tips 1 - Go up! Are you using the vertical space in your home to its fullest advantage? Walls are great places to store things like DVD's and CD using wall racks. Have bookshelves that go from floor to ceiling. In your closets have shelves that go all the way up so that you can store out of season clothes at the top. Take advantage of the space under your bed as well with storage containers that roll out.

Organization Tips 2 - Get rid of stuff you don't need on a regular basis. For some people this will be one a week, for others its once a month. Which ever works best for you, do it. This will help keep the amount of clutter down in your home. You will be able to trash things that are broken, and give away things to charity that you no longer want, need, or use.
