Bearing in mind that one of a home stager's biggest jobs is decluttering, I am a firm believer (not always a follower but a believer) in constant decluttering - not just at time of selling but as a way of living. 

Closet Confessions
According to an Oprah.com poll here's what people confess about their closets:

The majority of respondents estimate they own 100 items of clothing.
"This is WAY underestimated! My guess (Organizer Lorie Marrero) is 2-3 times that much.
60 percent say they have not seen the back of their closet for months."

Organizing your stocking stuffers
This is a great way get a "jump start" on Christmas shopping

Personally, I love plastic hangers; you will save room in your closet when all of your hangers are the same style.
Order hangers at volume pricing

Martha’s storage ideas
Organize your junk drawer

Both home buyers and home owners desire a home with plentiful storage; well organized homes shows and sell better than cluttered ones.
