Example Citation:

"There are two spheres of being organized: First is to arrange the physical elements in a simple and logical manner. Second is to maintain it. To be totally organized is to do both: organize and maintain.

First of all, 'dejunk' the bedroom. Get rid of extra furniture. Move out some of the sentimental accumulation. Either give it to a charity or pack it into labeled boxes and put it in long-term storage areas. Move out clothing that you don't wear anymore."
