Always remember Get rid of the things you dont need. Clothing and papers are one of the biggest problems people have when living in clutter.
Start by Organizing the most cluttered room first . This way you when your finished all the other rooms that are less wont seem such a big deal now that the worst room has been organized. Plus you can look at it and motivate yourself more to finish whatever else needs to be organized.
