There are five principles from our purpose in life which underlie organization:
 

Glorify	1 Cor 10:31	Glorify God in all that you do
Order	Gen 2:19-20	Creatively organize your world
Control	Ps 8:6-8	Rule what God is sovereign over
Own	Gen 2:15, Mt 25:14-30	Manage what God owns
Preserve	Gen 2:15, Prov 27:23-27	Preserve resources

Here are four guidelines that help organizing our stuff:

• Everything has a home
• Separate by category
• Clean as you go
• Only touch it once
