This was a method of decluttering area by area in a timed method. What you can do in a minute, 5 minutes or 15 minutes. The minute things are basically things to get in the habit of doing as you pass through an area. Five minute things are things to do when you notice an area getting cluttered; reorganize a shelf, clear a table top; pull something out while putting away something else. The 15 minute tasks are the big jobs broken down into small units, so it's not overwhelming. In between are organizing tips, food organizing ideas to help meal planning, record keeping needs, clothes storage tips, etc. Found some interesting and useful ideas.

Quotations
According to the Oxford English Dictionary, the modern English word organizer comes from the fourteenth-century Middle French word organiser. In this early form, it meant "to give a... (show all)n organic structure to" something. When organizing objects in your home, think back to this early usage of the word and try to create systems that feel as natural as possible.
