Clutter doesn’t fall in line automatically when we have more storage space. In fact, more storage space often means more room to hide clutter. So what does it mean to “be organised”, and what is the best way to do it? How can we maximize our storage space regardless of how much (or how little) of it we have?

Would you let a 9-year old kid swim or cook for the first time without proper instructions? There are no natural cooks or swimmers, yet we expect our family members to be “naturally organised”. Just like cooking or swimming, getting organised is a lifeskill that can be learnt. When taught and applied correctly, you will be “naturally organised” for the rest of your life!

How would your things feel if they were locked up in a dark place, only to see the light of day once a year (or maybe…never)? That would be torture! But how can we find space in modern urban homes to accommodate everything we possess? Is it possible to maximize our storage spaces without it looking like a game of 3D Tetris?
