Becoming Organized

I have been trying my best to become more organized.  I believe that chaos creates chaos.  I don't know where I heard that from but it seems to be true in my case.  I am having a hard time going paperless.  Therefore, I have an abundance of paper that seems to multiply each day.  Not to mention I am a pack rat that seems to collect needless knick knacks.  One of my goals (and remaining positive is key) is to declutter and simplify my life.  I believe that it is detrimental to my depression to remain in a chaotic state of mine.  So I am always looking for ways to alleviate my depressive nature.  I came across this picture about simple steps on staying organized and want to share it with you.  I am hanging it up right now.  It is simple common sense but if you are like me, we are just to busy some days to do what we should.

What steps do you take to simplify your life and lessen the chaos? Does organizing come easy to you?
