Myth #3
When I get rid of my clutter, I will finally be organized!
If you get rid of items because you are ashamed by the current state of your home, or feel pressured by well-meaning family members, it will rarely have a long lasting impact and it does not mean that you are now organized. When the pressure is removed, more items will sneak their way back into your home.
You might have gotten rid of everything in your garage that you never use BUT if you still cant find what you need when you need it, you are still not organized. You will still spend too much time trying to find the small hand shovel when you need it.
Without containment or an agreed upon home reserved for each item that you own, you are not organized.
