Utilize a Variety of Boxes

Minimize Decorations

Whatever your situation, know that the acquisition of stuff is perfectly normal. It is the inability to control this acquisition that can eventually cause problems. As long as the things you have fit in the space that you have, you are likely doing just fine with your organizing habits.
