To get an idea of what you own, group like things together. Use your utensil drawer as a model. In it you have forks, knives, and spoons, all in their own slots, and you know there are 12 or each.
The kids are heading back to class and the thought of once again dealing with all their stuff can make even the most organized mom anxious. "Running a household is like running a small business," says Kim Cosentino, owner of The De-Clutter Box, an organizing company in Westmont, Illinois. "To keep things moving smoothly, you need to put efficient systems in place." Check out these tips to keep your house free from stacks of paper, coats, or sporting goods.
“I’ve seen an excess of unwanted items donated, or on street curbs during this new wave of DeCluttering and recent downsizing,” says Kim Cosentino, professional organizer and founder of The De-Clutter Box. “People [often] have so many things that will not fit into their simplified dream home.
The best way to get the whole family to keep the garage organized? Have them help create the system, advises Westmont-based organizer Kim Cosentino. “When you put your energy into something, you’re more likely to maintain it,” she says. Also, label each corner, shelf or category to remind everybody to put things back where they belong.
Your first task is to schedule an appointment with your space, says Kim Cosentino, professional organizer and owner of The De-Clutter Box, based in Westmont, Illinois. Most people never get around to clearing the clutter because their schedule is packed. So, just as you would schedule a regular checkup with your doctor, schedule an appointment with your home to begin organizing. Take two hours one morning and set that time aside to start getting things in order.
Kim Cosentino turned her garage sale into a family effort. A professional organizer with The Declutter Box, Inc., Cosentino says children who are "budding entrepreneurs" can sort through their own toys for items to sell, and invite their friends to do the same.
One of the simplest yet most effective home organization strategies is keeping like things together and storing them close to where they’re used. This small habit can save you time, reduce stress, and make your home feel effortlessly tidy.

"Kim came over and quickly brought order to the chaos."
Our son gave my husband and me the most wonderful gift: the services of Kim DeClutter, as we have come to think of her. We had returned home after five months away and had only two short weeks to pack up a house that our family had lived in for 42 years. Then the estate sales was to follow the move by a week.She had a good working relationship with our moving company and made sure we had ample tape, boxes, and other supplies. the two weeks passed in a blur, but somehow the move happened!

I refer clients to her often - because it’s her combination of part-psychologist and part estate sale lady - that helps people get through huge mountains of personal items to determine which items are the most special/important to the person to take with them.

My verse were unfounded as Kim was a consummate professional from beginning to end. She told me very clearly how she sold things and what prices things would sell for.

She is 100% honest! - Lori T.

We cannot thank Kim enough for all she did to make our estate sale a huge success! Prior to Kim coming into our lives I was a wreck. She came in and took charge. She was amazing! She organized the sale the weekend before we were to move. Her staff is wonderful. She was beyond there for us. She worked endless hours putting our house into a store quality order. She knew all the right people to help us. She even came over the Monday after the sale to make sure everything was moved out and to see if she could help us with anything else. We could not have done this move without her. - Tricia C.
