There a lot of websites whose sole mission is to get you more organized and decluttered. Some are downright irritating in their pedantic perkiness and perfectionism. But others are actually decent. In fact, some are downright funny and really quite helpful! Here is a sample of such sites. Feel free to add your own!
Unclutterer
This is the big daddy of organizational websites and my personal favorite. Unclutterer offers up posts on decluttering and organizing (“Parting with Sentimental Clutter” and “DIY Drawer Organizer”, as well as inspiring photos of uber-organized rooms and workspaces. I love the posts about space-saving appliances and multi-purpose convertible furniture (a table that turns into a chair!). How genius is this little tip: Put removable stickers on small appliances to track which items you use over a six month period, and which ones you don’t. Only remove the dots when you use an item. At the end of six months, take to charity any appliance that still has a dot on it. I am going to do that this weekend (if I get, um, myself organized). I also love the hilarious tongue-in-cheek reviews of completely uneccessary and cluttering products like the snap jack pancake cutter.
Simplifried
Affiliated with Unclutterer, Simplifried is a blog devoted to ending mealtime stress. "If your nerves are fried, we'll be your simple, delicious, and nutritious cooking guide." The site offers meal plans, innovative ways to make use of leftovers, and tips for finding — and using — local farmers' markets.
JD Organizer
From professional organizer Jeri Dansky, JD organizer is full of space-saving and time-saving products reviews (trash cans, collapsible kitchen tools, indoor clothes drying racks, umbrella stands, etc.); before and after organizing projects; and countless articles about organizational technique. Dansky also profiles some really cool products and methods for organizing stuff.
Org Junkie
Lots of fun posts, including “15 Great Uses for Wicker Baskets,” “How to Maximize Storage Space in Closet Corners,” and “Organizing Triple Play: The Junk Drawer”.
Organizing Your Way
Here, bloggers Joshua Becker of the blog Becoming Minimalist and Laura from Org Junkie write about all things organizational. One post, titled "Containerizing Doesn’t Come First," explains: "The lure of all those bins in the stores is powerful. They carry with them the hope of an organized life and so you rush right out to stock up without first considering your need for them." Guilty as charged!
Productivity Cafe
More articles on ways to declutter and organize (e.g., drawer organization, ways to stop procrastinating, and tips for contoling cables and wires).

Thanks for these! Of the ones you list, I'd only ever read Unclutterer before, and I am mighty sick of the holier-than-thou attitude over there.
I like Unclutterer but I think the problem is readers take it as THE WORD and forget that it's just suggestions. No one is saying you have to do all the stuff suggested on that site.
fan of knockknock *lurve* =)
I like Unclutterer, but it's not just the readers who "take it as THE WORD". The authors talk about their lives being so balanced and peaceful, now that they have every minute, every calorie, every item of clothing, every purchase, every dollar, and every greenhouse gas emission counted, budgeted, labeled, and cleaned. I sometimes wonder where they find the time and energy to live so simply.
Yay for Unclutterer bashing. With daily content it does return the occasional useful tip (particularly the forums) more-so than similar sites. However, almost every time I read it I get the nagging feeling that all the things that often complicate life (making money, self-promotion, better-than-tho) drive it instead of the desire to help people. (Especially since every Sunday is links to posts "this time, previous years". Just take the damn day off.)
I heart Unclutterer! Several of the tips have changed my life for the better. The Freedom Filer wrangled my papers into shape and saves me a ton of time and aggravation. I find Erin's philosophy really supportive - it's only clutter if it's getting in the way of something I want to do. If it's not bugging me or getting in the way, I can just ignore it. Don't need to buy special containers, or label it or sort it. Several of her household routines have been helpful to me too. Love that she and her husband do twenty minutes of cleaning together most days - means their home is clean and functional and leaves little room for resentments to build up about one person doing more than the other.
I like organizedhome.com.
Regarding the observation about containers... when we moved into our new house, one of my big projects was finding places for all my containers. We used to have a lot of basement storage, but no more. It took a long time to realize that RE-organizing the stuff IN the containers, and getting rid of some of it, meant I didn't need many of the containers and didn't need to find storage space for them. It was a revelation!
I have to take breaks from Unclutterer every so often, until I can take the sanctimony again. I do get useful tips from the site, but the mindset can sometimes be too minimal.
Simplifried has only been in existence for a week or so. Time will tell how useful it is.
based on these comments i had to go and check unclutterer out.
in my world it's called anally retentive...
Thanks so much for including my link, was very excited to see it listed here!! Laura
I love decluttering & organizing stuff, and Benita at Chez Larsson is my hero. She makes Martha Stewart look like a slob. :)
