Steps

Motivation and Sustainability

1. Tidy all at once. Don't do a little at a time as you can't stay on top of the mess.
2. Visualize how you want your space to be and how you want to feel being in it.
3. Ask yourself why you want your space to be that way and why you want to feel that way. If you want to feel energized to work by not having a mess, why do you want to feel that way? If you want to feel more relaxed to sleep better, why do you want this?

Planning

4. Categorize objects and organize in this order: Clothes, Books, Papers, and then miscellaneous.
5. Tidy by category, not location. If you are going to organize papers, pull out all the papers from all rooms, desks, etc all together. Same for clothes, take out all the clothes in the closets and drawers.

Action

6. Focus on the things you want to keep that make you happy, "spark joy" and serve a purpose. If an item is useful and makes you happy, put it in the keep pile.
7. Everything eles that doesn't contribute to your happiness should be discarded.

Put into place

8. Once items have been discarded, you can put away the things you want to keep.

Organizing clothes in drawers

Fold clothes so they are on their sides rather than stacked on top of each other. You can fit more clothes into drawers and easily see what you have to wear.
