One of the biggest things I have told myself during all of this is...I need to take it one day at a time. Do NOT try to take on everything all at once. Pick a room for each day of the week and do it.
Helpful hints for organizing:
1.) Make four piles: throw away, donate, garage sale/ebay, keep
2.) Keep anything that: has a purpose...period. If it's purpose is being aesthetically pleasing-great! If it makes you annoyed...do something else with it!
3.) Get rid of things that you haven't used in a while...if you need it later you can go an get another one. Let things and materialistic things flow in and out of your home. It's just stuff.
4.)Find a system that works for you and use it! Just because something works for someone doesn't mean it it the best method for yourself and that is OKAY
5.)Once you finish a room keep up on it...and if that is the only room that stays pretty for a week at least you did that!
6.)If you look at something and it takes you less than five minutes to complete, DO IT. (two dirty dishes, shoes and jackets in the living room, junk mail on the kitchen table.) Clean as you go
