Hint

When you're sorting, don't leave the space in which you're working. Otherwise you can lapse into yo-yo organizing.

P

The “P” is for purge

Things you don’t need and don’t use

A

The "A" stands for assigning

Pick or make a place for your things

C

The “C” is for container

picking the appropriate one

Hint

You need to sort and purge and decide where you want to store the items that you're keeping before you know what

kind of container you'll need.

Aesthetics is another consideration.

the process of maintaining your system and adjusting it to meet your needs
