Julie Morgenstern, author of Time Management from the Inside Out andOrganizing from the Inside Out, has enough credentials to be crowned "The Queen of Organizing."

She also has a formula to help you get rid of clutter.





Julie's Organizing Formula
  • Sort: Identify what's important to you and group similar items.
  • Purge: Decide what you can live without and get rid of it (e.g. donations, sales, storage, garbage).
  • Assign: Decide where the items you keep will go. Remember, make it logical, accessible and safe.
  • Containerize: Make sure they're sturdy, easy to handle, the right size, and that they look good. The art of containerizing is to do it last, not first.
  • Equalize: Spend 15 minutes a day to maintain what you've done.
