Sorting and Organizing Roadmap First: Always start on the floor; a clear floor immediately provides a more restful and efficient project environment because you can easily move about. Next: Clear the surfaces as these provide staging areas for sorting. Finally: Tackle interior spaces like drawers and cupboards. Defining What We Do Tidy Up/Picking Up = getting a room to look somewhat neat by putting things away. Cleaning = washing floors, vacuum dust Organize = schedule and prep, weed and sort, remove and clean, name and return, containerize and bask
