I am a feng shui practitioner and we hate clutter. Hate. It. And, for the most part, I do practice what I preach. Usually.

Whenever I discuss de-cluttering I remind my clients that they don’t get to move the clutter somewhere else...like to the garage, for example.

When discussing cutter, I tell my clients all the time, just clean 1 drawer, 1 shelf, a junk-collecting bowl - anything. Big or small. And when you do, you will feel empowered, lighter, optimistic.

- shopping for organizational tools
- dinner at their favorite restaurant and
- one hour of organizing – with a professional organizer to use those organization tools we bought

As a parent, it's never too early to teach your children to keep things organized and clutter- free and to introduce the principles of feng shui.

Do you collect greeting cards so you can snag the perfect one at a moment’s notice? I do too. Most of the time, it’s been a great system. Tonight, though, it struck me that I’ve got some really, really old clunkers. Clearly I must have thought they were great at the time (like 20 years ago!), but now they are clutter. That means they are also an energy drain, pure and simple.
