Organizing...WHERE DO I START?

I truly want an organized home but get very overwhelmed when I look around at all the excess stuff we have in our house. Where do I start? I really like the encouraging way this blogger puts it... It took you years to collect all this excess stuff so it will take time to get rid of it and organize (hopefully not years). Set small goals and enlist the help of everyone. It may take me time to get it together but I will do it! Happy organizing!!
