Limit Your Clutter

As mentioned many times before, I enjoy reading http://www.clutterdiet.com/ website which has practical organizational tips and short videos on various clutter problems.  One today talked about "limiting containers."  If you collect items like magazines, change, children's school papers, shoes, etc. think about keeping those kinds of items in "limiting containers." 

What a container of a certain size does is keeps you from collecting too much of a good thing.  Once the container is full, it's time to sort out what is important to keep and what is not.  (Laundry baskets with dirty laundry are a prime example!)  A mug holds a certain amount of loose change; a small basket or decorative box can limit your magazines.  Think about the overflow in some area of your home.  Could this help?
