If you and your significant other don't see eye to eye about how messy your shared space is, Valentine's Day is a chance to make things better. Not with chocolates and flowers, although surely they won't hurt, but with a plan: This time next year, you'll be celebrating in a space that makes both of you happy. It's going to take a year, because I'm not talking about keeping a counter clear so you both have a place to put the mail....

A new strategy to help packrats and neatniks find common ground in amongst the clutter and the recriminations.

When you're trying to get a handle on your clutter, it can be helpful to talk yourself through some of the reasons why you're keeping something. Do you use it? When was the last time you used it? How much would it cost to replace this thing? How many of these do you have? Is it in good shape or has it worn out its welcome?...

The logical part of your brain can't access the deep-seated reasons you're holding onto your clutter. Try feeling rather than thinking.

Over the years, I've noticed that if a company wants me to keep buying from them, they'll offer me some kind of deal which involves me finding some scissors and clipping stuff.

Fiddly box tops, expired coupons and lame punch cards are all contributing to your clutter problem. Here's how to fix that.

How much of your clutter are you keeping because it's worth a lot of money? I met with a vintage resaler this week because I'm always looking to find new options for you. Her pitch to me was that now all my clients would have a great resource for things they want to go to good homes. Sounds great, right? You have valuable stuff hiding in the rafters, she wants to buy it, the stuff will go to other people who will really appreciate it....

In every decluttering and organizing project, there’s that moment when you’re done. Except you’re not done. Far from it. The boxes are still crammed full of papers.

The excitement about getting this done has vanished, to be replaced by the painful realization that decluttering is a crapton of work and you’re the one who has to do it....

A messy house is no fun: Three strategies to avoid when decluttering, and three strategies you'll want to try.
