How do I keep the clutter from piling up around us? That is the number one question I am asked as a Professional Organizer. Peter Walsh recommends the in-out rule. If you buy a pair of shoes, the new one is placed in your closet and an old pair is donated or thrown away. Before the holidays have your kids donate several toys to make room for the new gifts they will receive this holiday season. This will result in a calmer, more manageable living environment.
