The most important area of your home is generally the one that you spend the most time in. I tend to think that that's the bedroom, and I encourage my clients to organize their bedrooms first. The bedroom is really key for a couple of reasons. The first, because it is the room that you spend a lot of time in, and so it's good to get a sense of order in it. More importantly because it's the room that you wake up in, and the first thing that you see when you wake up in the morning. If it's chaos and clutter, its just going to set a tone to the rest of your day, but if you wake up and you're in this environment and it's organized and it's nice and you know where everything is, not only do you feel better but it also will inspire you to bring that order into the rest of your life. The bedroom is really key in everyone's home.
