Answers:
First of all go threw your closet and get rid of all the clothes that you dont wear any more. Do the same with your desk and dresser. get rid of books that you wont read again, old magazines, papers.
Then head out to a store and buy some baskets or bins to put stuff in. You can get things for your drawers too. Add some shelves to your wall. That always helps.
Small plastic baskets are great organizers for small things. Cubes can be put in your closet for organization. Small reed or straw baskets are good for desks and dresser tops. They can also be decorative too. If you have small items like jewelry and/or cosmetics, they fit well into a flatware tray. It will fit well into a drawer.
1. take everything out and sort it
2. throw away / give away things you don't use or are broken/unusable
3. hang clothes in some sort of order.
4. get some shelfs if you dont' have them
5. put stuff on the shelfs in nice sorted piles or in labeled boxes
for the desk:
go to a office store like office depot and get some desk organization stuff and throw away anything you don't need
also there are some good organization store:
organized living
the container store
also watch HGTV
First, if you aren't using it, and see no need for it in the immediate future, get rid of it.
You know you have a ton of stuff you never wear or use, or maybe no longer fits. Gone!
Then keep likes together. I use a decorative box on a dresser for all my hair things. A small box for the jewelry I wear on a regular basis.
I used to have a big drawer for socks. Socks!?! I wore socks about twice a month, so why I had about 35 pairs I will never know. Gone!
Underware. We all have some panties and bras that don't fit right, or we just don't like for some reason. Gone!
Be brutal. You will love yourself later for it. Go through your closet at least twice. If you aren't using it... GET RID OF IT!
Either you own your stuff, or it owns you. I have friends who have moved totes from place to place to place and never even open them. They don't need the stuff. Gone!
I am a very organized person, but I even get out of control at times. Just don't keep stuff you don't need. Have a garage sale and use the money you make to purchase organizing supplies. (decorative boxes, shelves, more drawers)
Good luck. I think having clutter is almost a disease, but you can be cured!
