7 Tips for beating clutter forever - tip 6

Declutter daily. It's easier to keep up than catch up, so establish a daily routine. Grab a laundry basket and make the rounds, tossing in anything to be put away. Also purge periodically. As you sort through off-season clothing get rid of what you didn't wear. Clean out filing cabinets at year's end.
