How to: Organize the Chaos

This past weekend, I was in an organizing state of mind. I'm generally neat, but I always have piles of clutter that pop up around my room and my apartment. So, on Saturday, I took inspiration from Pippa at Sous Style — don't you envy her organizing system and pristine apartment above? I especially love her groceries-to-buy list (found a similar one here) and her fantastic technique to photograph the shoes she owns and stick it to the side of the box.

What's your favorite DIY organization trick? Would love your tips and suggestions as I continue my attempt to streamline my home!
