2. Don’t start by buying containers
In most cases, baskets are nice to have because they help you keep all your things organized. But if your house is already a bit messy, you’d better try and clean the space a little before buying any containers or baskets.
Afterward, a box becomes clutter when it doesn’t fit where you had hoped. Most likely, when you realize that some items don’t fit into the container as you had anticipated, you end up stuffing up other places and creating even more clutter. Plus, you will get even angrier. Sorting things out and throwing away what you don’t need or use anymore, you may discover you don’t need baskets or any other containers at all.
