IT WOULD BE NICE NOT TO HAVE
PILES OF STUFF EVERYWHERE.
Anchor: SHE IS AN
ENTREPRENEUR THAT WORKS FROM
HOME.
WHO WANTS TO DECLUTTER THE
SPACE.
TRY NOT TO OVERWHELM
YOURSELF.
Anchor: HER FRIEND TO THE
RESCUE.
USING HER AND THE TEES TO HELP
CLEAR THE CLUTTER.
Anchor: YOU HAVE SEEN MY
DESK.
Anchor: I HAVE SEEN IT.
WE SHOULD HAVE DONE A
COMPARISON.
Anchor: NO WE SHOULD NOT.
IT WOULD BE NICE IF WE ALL HAD A
PROFESSIONAL ORGANIZERS FOR A
FRIEND.
IT WOULD MAKE LIFE EASIER.
BUT YOU CAN BRING ORDER BACK TO
YOUR HOME BY TACKLING THE
PROBLEM SPOTS THE RIGHT WAY.
KIMBERLY GILL IS BACK WITH
TRICKS TO GET THE JOB DONE.
Reporter: OUR EXPERTS SAY
THE TIMER IS YOUR FRIEND WHEN IT
COMES TO ORGANIZING.
SET IT TO 10, 15, 30 MINUTES
WHATEVER WORKS FOR YOU.
TURN ON THE MUSIC AND GET TO
WORK.
I THINK WE ALL HAVE ONE OF
THESE.
Reporter: THAT'S RIGHT.
CATCHALL PLACE IN THE KITCHEN
WHERE YOU PUT RECEIPTS,
BATTERIES, CELL PHONES,
CHARGERS, YOU NAME IT.
WALK IN FROM THE GARAGE AND
DOOR WE GO PAST HERE.
SO EASY TO THROW THINGS.
Reporter: ALLISON WANTS TO
TACKLE TROUBLE SPOTS IN HER
HOME.
AND SHE RUNS EASE LIVING ONLINE
BUSINESS OUT OF THE HOME.
AND WITH TWO KIDS AND A HUSBAND.
CLUTTER COLLECTS QUICKLY.
JUST SO THE HOUSE LOOKS NICER
WHEN PEOPLE COME IN.
IT WOULD BE NICE NOT TO HAVE
PILES OF STUFF EVERYWHERE.
Reporter: ALLISON'S FRIEND
KAREN IS A CO-FOUND OF CLEVER
CONTAINER WHICH IS A LOCAL
COMPANY THAT SELLS ORGANIZING
PRODUCTS.
START ON THE TOP.
Reporter: SHE IS ALL A
PROFESSIONAL ORGANIZER.
AND HER ADVICE WHEN CLEARING
CLUTTER?
I LIKE BEFORE AND AFTER
PICTURES BECAUSE IT DOES TWO
THINGS.
NUMBER ONE YOU FEEL
ACCOMPLISHED.
YOU REMEMBER KIND OF HOW IT USED
TO BE.
AND NUMBER TWO, WHEN IT IS SET
UP YOU WILL KNOW WHERE TO PUT
THINGS BACK THE NEXT TIME.
TWO FOCUS IN ON THE KIT
HINCOUNTER SPACE.
THIS IS THE BEFORE.
KAREN AND ALLISON GUILTY TO WORK
GOING THROUGH EVERYTHING
DECIDING BELONGS THERE AND WHAT
GOES.
I THINK WHAT YOU NEED ARE A
COUPLE OF PRODUCTS.
THAT KIND OF CONTAIN THE THINGS,
SO YOU DO NOT HAVE TO HAVE THE
STACK HERE.
Reporter: GOAL, MORE
DECORATIVEMENT LESS CLUTTERED.
EASIER TO USE.
PAPERS, PENS, CELL PHONES, EVEN
CORDS, ARE PUT AWAY.
AND THIS CLUTTER PROJECT IS DONE
IN JUST EIGHT MINUTES 33
SECONDS.
AND KAREN HAS ADVICE TO KEEP IT
LIKE THAT.
JUST PUTTING THINGS, IF YOU
ALREADY HAVE A PLACE FOR THEM.
MAKE A CONSCIOUS EFFORT TO PUT
THEM WITH THE LIKE THINGS YOU
HAVE A PLACE FOR.
Reporter: WHEN ORGANIZING
OR CLEANING WORK THE ROOM LIKE A
CLOCK.
MAYBE YOU DO THE AREA FROM 12 TO
THREE AND TAKE A BREAK.
USE THE ONE IN ONE OUT RULE.
BEFORE YOU BRING SOMETHING IN
NEW REMEMBER THAT SOMETHING ELSE
HAS TO GO.
AND HAVE A HOME FOR EVERYTHING
AND WHEN THAT SPACE IS FULL IT
IS TIME TO GO THROUGH IT.
SHE IS DOING GREAT.
CLOSETS ARE FILLED WITH
CLUTTER SO KAREN TACKLES
ALLISON'S TEENAGE DAUGHTERS'
CLOSET.
START BY PUTTING LIKE WITH LIKE.
ALSO, I THINK, SEPARATING THE
TYPE -- YOU KNOW, AGAIN SHE IS A
TEENAGER.
AND EVEN ADULTS DO THIS AS WELL.
SHE HAD ALL THE T-SHIRTS KIND OF
INTERMIXED WITH FLANNEL AND
THINGS LIKE THAT.
AND SEPARATING THOSE, AGAIN,
SHOWS YOU WHAT YOU HAVE IN YOUR
CLOSET.
IF WE TAKE THE -- THIS HANGER,
AND IT IS PERFECT.
FOR TANK TOPS AND CAMIES.
Reporter: USE ALL THE
SPACE.
KAREN SUGGESTS HOOKS ON THE
DOORS.
SINCE ALLISON'S DAUGHTER LIKES
THEM OPEN.
SO THINGS MAYBE WOULD NOT END
UP ON THE FLOOR.
SHE COULD COME HOME AND JUST SET
IT UP THERE.
Reporter: SWEATERS IN
CUBBYS AND JEANS TOP SHELF.
KAREN RECOMMENDS SAME TYPE OF
HANGERS AND PULLING THE ONES YOU
DO NOT USE.
DO NOT FORGET TO PURGE WHAT YOU
NO LONGER WEAR.
WE HAVE MORE STUFF.
CONSTANTLY SHOPPING.
I LIKE TO DO THINGS MYSELF.
LIKE SOMETHING COMES IN.
I TAKE SOMETHING OUT.
SO I DON'T BUILD UP THE CLUTTER.
Reporter: KAREN SAID DO NOT
KEEP ITEMS OUT OF GIFT.
YOU PAID TOO MUCH OR YOU
RECEIVED IT AS A GIFT YOU DO NOT
LOVE.
ONLY KEEP THINGS THAT WILL BRING
JOY.
I AM KIMBERLY GILL.
BACK TO YOU.
IS IT STILL CLUTTER IF YOU
