Trying to do it while you are living there often leads to shuffling stuff from one location to another. This makes it hard to clean and organize everything. A portable storage container such as Smartbox is the solution.

• You may not be a hoarder, but with years of accumulation, you may have acquired a lot of "stuff" that needs to be organized and downsized. Trying to do it while you are living there often leads to shuffling stuff from one location to another. This makes it hard to clean and organize everything.

• Professional organizers can make order out of chaos. But, the layman might not find it so easy. The system of using boxes to sort and put away items can be overwhelming. When you go to put something in its proper place, that place is often cluttered with a lot of stuff that belongs somewhere else.

• If you plan to clean and redecorate while you are organizing, the logistics get even more unmanageable. You need an easy solution to put everything from one room into a central place. You could put it all into sections in the yard, but if you don't finish within a day, you run the risk of rain and/or theft.

• You should work one room at a time. Don't work so long that you burn yourself out. Once the trash in a room is gone, take everything you want to keep to the designated container. It is best to have one for each room, but if that is not possible, divide your container into sections. Totally empty the room, putting everything in its designated section.

• Organizing things is a multiple step process. Things are sometimes hard to let go of. Professionals suggest organizing in steps. First, throw away and give away anything that you know you don't want and is easy to let go. If you have gotten overwhelmed, you may have trash that can be thrown away. Don't pass on items you wouldn't want someone to give to you.

• After the room is empty, clean, paint, and whatever you plan to do. Make it look the best you possibly can. You will then move the storage furniture back into the room. These pieces would include things like bookcases, trunks, benches, and tables with baskets underneath. Then begin bringing back the items that you know you are going to keep. Conceal anything that is not decorative on its own. Sort it all in an orderly manner.

• Once you have emptied all the Smartbox portable storage containers, check again that you have everything in order. Make sure if it is out in view, it is decorative. Have a place for everything else, and keep it in that place. This will avoid a cluttered condition in the future.
