The Garage Principle
A good way to picture why you must clear out clutter before organizing is what I like to think of as the garage principle. Imagine a garage, completely crammed full of stuff — so much stuff that you cannot walk in, let alone park a car there. If you were to simply “organize” such a space, it would perhaps look neater, with everything sorted by category and stacked up in attractive containers — but the containers would still reach the roof, and the space still wouldn’t function as anything more than a storage unit. By clearing out the unnecessary junk first, you can create more space, which will help in the next phase when you organize what’s left.
