      Introduction

      "If we did all the things, we are capable of, we would literally astound ourselves."

      -Thomas Edison

      We’ve all seen them—the pristine homes adorning the shiny pages of magazines. All of them appear impossibly perfect, particularly after we compare them to our own messy homes. Perhaps you’ve wanted to declutter your home for years; perhaps you’re someone who maintains a clean home, however you don’t know where to begin.

      You’re most likely intimidated by those clean, perfectly organized homes that appear so picture perfect that you feel you can’t make your home the same. So, you give up and sit on your hands and do nothing, convinced that a clutter-free house is nothing more than an impossible dream.

      It’s a good thing you have picked up this guide to bringing your home into a place that is organized, and sensible. This is a real-world guide to decluttering your home. It is not based on unrealistic methods, but something that can bring the reality of a clutter-free home into your busy, fast-paced world.

      You know, our lives are filled with pets, kids, our families, friends who all see our messy homes and think that it is a cluttered nightmare.

      This guide won’t include magazine tips or fast fixes. Decluttering your home won’t happen overnight, but if you stick with it, and take away from the piles of clutter you’ve accumulated, you’ll soon have a clean home that maintains itself with minimal effort.

      To make your project easier, we’ve broken down the information so that you can be motivated with a step-by-step guide to decluttering your home permanently. Organizing things may seem like a very difficult task—reading this book, however, won’t be.

      Yes, it sounds ridiculous and too good to be true—so let’s not waste time and jump right into the step-by-step guide.

      Something to remember: If you
