Get and Stay Organized

Q: How to get organized and stay organized?
A: In a nutshell: Make quick decisions

Indecision is what causes the clutter to accumulate, the paperwork to pile up, the inbox to overflow. Instead of things, paper, clothes, emails and everything else flowing through your life, indecision keeps them stuck in limbo.

Now clearly I’m not talking about deciding who to marry or what job to take. I’m talking about where to put the remote, how to reply to the email, and when to pay the bill.

Every decision you put off – however tiny or unimportant it may seem – is a barrier to a more organized life.

That makes total sense . . . I am completely indecisive & have MOUNDS & MOUNDS of clutter!

@Elizabeth:
It's a hackneyed expression, but I think 'If in doubt, throw it out' it a great mantra as you start changing your indecision/clutter habit.
The worst that can happen is you'll have to buy something again. But that small cost will be worth the wonderful feeling of getting rid of clutter!
