The technical side of organizing involves a series of steps:

Sort items into groups of the same type of objects
Part with items you don’t need, love or use
Assign a place for things to be stored
Containerize items to keep them together so you know how much you have
Evaluate your system and see if it needs some adjustments to work better for you.
