It also can help calm your mind. Research suggests that having too much stuff within view can take a mental toll and even limit your focus. While the growing trend of chucking everything out is somewhat appealing, sometimes you need to keep certain things around. But to tidy everything up, you'll need some tools to keep stuff organized. Here are nine smart products for organizing your home from top to bottom.
