Perhaps you suspect that there is just too much "stuff" in your home, perhaps you know that for sure.  If you are thinking of the contents of your home as a blur of "stuff" then it's probably time for a real sort out.

A lived in home doesn't have to look like a show home and for most of us that is definitely an unrealistic expectation.  Most of us live in houses or flats that are what we can afford and are often not as large as we would like.  Particularly in smaller homes it can be hard to keep surfaces clear, and if you have a spare bedroom it's quite likely to become a dumping ground before you know it.  Where do the kids toys go if you don't have a playroom?  Where do all those books lie if you don't have a library?  How can you eat at the table when it's constantly covered in various craft projects?

At the end of the day the aim is that your home will be free of "random stuff" and you will hopefully know exactly what you own and where it is.
