- Decluttering should be the first step before any interior
design project to avoid unnecessary complications and to create an
accurate assessment of what is needed.
- Sustainable organizing involves using or repurposing existing
items, being mindful of recycling laws, and avoiding dumping
unusable items on nonprofits.
- When dealing with sentimental clutter or resistant partners, it's
important to understand that memories are not tied to physical
objects and to find a method of organizing that works for everyone
involved.
