Simple Rules to Organize and Declutter

Here are the rules I found that REALLY make sense and should be reviewed every month. Set as a family goal! Try a few out, see how they work for you, then try a few others.
.. Get yourself organized at the start and end of a day - get ready for tomorrow
.
.. When you get up, put one thing away. (My #1)
.. When you're done eating, don't leave dishes in the sink. 
.. Wipe down the sink when you use it. 
.. When you walk through a room, find one thing to put away. (My #1 again)
.. When you take off a piece of clothing, put it away. 
.. Keep flat surfaces: tables, counters, desks, floors—clear. 
.. At the end of the day file -or- put stuff away. 
.. Deal with an email instead of putting it off. 
.. Put your clothes in a different closet or box, and only take out what you need. 
.. Declutter one day a week, spend an hour or two decluttering one area. 
.. One in, two out. Bring something in your life - get rid of two similar things. 
.. Limit how many things you have. Consider limiting yourself to '30' things of each like 30 pieces of clothing, or 30 books, etc.
