Hello! How can I help you today?<|im_end|>

I'm trying to declutter my home and get organized. Do you have any tips?<|im_end|>

Start with small areas at a time, like one shelf or drawer. Sort items into three piles: keep, donate/sell, and throw away. This will help you make decisions and see progress.<|im_end|>

That sounds helpful. What's a good way to keep clutter from coming back?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
Create habits like putting things back in their place after use, setting aside time each week for tidying, and being mindful of what you bring into your home. This will help maintain your space and prevent clutter from building up again.<|im_end|>

That makes sense. Do you have any favorite organizing tools or products?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
Simple tools like storage bins, labels, and hooks can be very effective. You can also repurpose items you already have, like using old jars for storage or turning a crate into a shelf.<|im_end|>
