Try the STOP Clutter Method – Stop, Toss, Organize, and Put Away – and fight clutter at the heart by thawing the decision making process.

Share tips on the original post as to how you keep your house free of clutter and you could win a copy of DK’s Houseworks by Cynthia Townley Ewer. Comments must be posted below by Monday, January 11^th. Gather will draw one person to win a copy of the book.
