Mary Astadourian (Professional Organizer) gives expert video advice on: How can I use my home office to better organize my life?

One of the biggest causes of clutter is not having a place to put things. And the great thing about having a home office is, now so many of those papers that are lying around because you don't know where to put them, now there's a place that it can all go. So having a home office is a really great way to declutter the rest of your house, because it allows you to create a system where you can put all those loose papers, and put all those things that need to be filed away that you might not normally have a place to file them. That's why I recommend that everybody have a home office of some sort; it's just basically another way of saying it's a space for you to really like organize. To run the business of your home, and that's really all it is. It doesn't mean you're, getting up and putting on your suit and going to work there. It just means that it's that space where you can sort through all the paperwork that you have and really find a place for all of it.
