My mother was not one to have a lot of devices for storage or organizing clutter. Here's what she taught me:

1. You can't really ever organize clutter. You can only get rid of it

2. Not enough closet space doesn't mean you have to move, only that you have too much stuff.

3. Just say no to shopping. Use what you have, save money for really important things.

4. Having all kinds of containers, liners, and gadgets is no substitute for living simply.

5. Your home deserves a peaceful landscape.

6. Go for quality: good tools, good food, a few well-made articles of clothing.

7. Ask for gifts that you can eat, drink, read, and put in the ground.

8. Don't waste your time making fussy arrangements of useless stuff. Do something worthwhile.
