Harmony at home and work, just makes for happy human beings.

The Ten Steps to Organizational Bliss first has to be:

1. Your acknowledgment that there is a problem.

2. Make a commitment to ''change''. Without commitment, this process will become a train wreck.

3. Select a room or space that you want to see a successful change happening in it.

4. Start with a smaller project to ensure a successful outcome. Too BIG, too soon can disappoint.

5. Edit and select items that serve a purpose or enhance your space. Everything else must find a new home.

6. Reduce, Reuse and Recycle. Three great words that allow your unwanted items to be re-purposed in another fashion. No Waste here!

7. Piles?? are not decorative, serve no purpose, and need supervision so they won't fall over! If it's not decoration, then give your items a new ''home''.

8. Storage Solutions come in many shapes, materials and colors today that will fit any style of decor. Choose wisely in this category and your clutter bug lifestyle will be a thing of the past.

9. Look at your room or space as the Seasons change. All rooms do not have to look or function the same all year round. Just as you look at your wardrobe, look at the functioning of your room.

10. Scheduling is essential to successful and long term organization. Ten to fifteen minutes a day to put things where they belong, meets the functioning of the space and has your self esteem feeling good too.
