4. GAIN SOME CLARITY
   What is working for you and what isn’t. What do you love and what don’t you love. Where do you function well in your home and where don’t you?
   What areas of your life do you need more organization and what areas don’t? Do you have a clutter problem or an organizational problem? Once you start asking yourself questions you’ll be able to find the right answers for you.
   Ask yourself questions.
5. FOCUS ON YOUR SOLUTION

6. CREATE YOUR VISION AND DESIGN YOUR DREAM HOME NOW
   Get inspired and focus on what you really want. Buy some favourite home design magazines and collect pictures of beautiful organized rooms and spaces to set a standard you aspire to.
   What small positive changes can you make to add elements from these pictures to your home? Think color, fabric, furniture and storage. Decluttering and organizing gives you a blank canvas to add what you really love. Focus on what you want.
7. FEEL POSITIVE AND THINK GOOD THOUGHTS
   Every task you do gets easier with less clutter and more organization. Decluttering and organizing are also a process of recovering long lost treasures and uncovering hidden talents you never knew you had. Decide to look at the glass half full.
8. GET CREATIVE
   Every act of letting go is an act of creating something. Every time you declutter or organize you are creating space, time, money, wellbeing and peace. What are you creating in your home and your life right now? Write a wish list for your home and a dream list for your life.
9. BUILD A VISION BOARD
   Making space always helps build your vision of what you want in your life so what does a clutter free and organized life mean to you?
