I'm an organizing junkie. I'm not necessarily that organized, but I have high aspirations! You knew that already though, didn't you? ;)
Here are five awesome online resources to help manage your organizing/decluttering goals:
1. How to Unclutter Your Life in One Week - video series from Tasra Mar
This book looks awesome. I haven't read it yet, but I KNOW it's awesome because of the impressive video series Tasra Dawson has created on her site, Tasra Mar. This extremely professional video will take you step-by-step through the book's main points in a friendly, approachable fashion. You'll be inspired to start decluttering immediately!
2. Mnmlist.com from Leo Babauta
I sometimes mock Leo, just because I want to be him. ;) This site is full of inspiration for paring down your life -- after all, the less stuff you have, the less you have to organize! Leo will give you the tools and ideas you need to get your life down to the essentials.
A blog about a mom who just happens to love to organize even more than I do! She offers a great balance between "down home" and professional.
Visit his online home and see videos, links, newsletter, and more. (If you don't know who Peter Walsh is, he is one of the stars of Clean Sweep, as well as the best-selling author of a number of books on organization, including one of my faves (and recent giveaway), It's All Too Much: An Easy Plan for Living a Richer Life with Less Stuff
Can't wait to get my hands on his new book, Does This Clutter Make My Butt Look Fat?: An Easy Plan for Losing Weight and Living More
And this looks fab, too: Enough Already!: Clearing Mental Clutter to Become the Best You
A website organized by topic (freezer cooking, time & money, seasonal spin, etc.) that lets you browse according to your hot spots. Clean and simple to navigate (just like a website about organizing should be!).
Your turn: Got any organizing/decluttering sites to share?
I was all over this site yesterday, after Aby Garvey tweeted about it. She has an organizing category on the right sidebar, but do yourself a favor and check out the rest of her blog as well! (I do believe she is my twin, separated at birth.)

Lain, you are a girl after my own heart. I have just about every book you mentioned, and my secret fear is that Peter Walsh will show up at my door and make me donate my entire scrap room of stuff...or maybe that's just a secret wish?? NO! I can do it myself and then I'll spend the rest of my days organizing and reorganizing...bliss!

I wrote a whole post on what I thought Peter Walsh would say to scrappers - one of my most popular!
I would recommend Complete Organizing Solutions and Organizing Your Way as two great blogs to add to this list.

I've been on the organized home site before and found some good tips over there. Unfortunately, I don't have much input for this one being a tad on the unorganized myself. What about the Flylady?

I checked How to Unclutter Your Life . . . out of the library as soon as I read about it. It's just as awesome as it sounds, although I must admit after three weeks, I was not yet done uncluttering. I now own the book since I don't want to devote whole days to the project, but I am willing to devote several months to it. I went through my closets using Erin's questions to guide me, and it was the most effective decluttering of my wardrobe ever! Off to check out the videos.

I like to follow Simple Mom at http://smallnotebook.org/. It isn't in your face, just small things and encouragement.

I have nothing to share, but can you please come to my house and help me declutter! I can barely even walk into my craft room. I just need to get rid of a whole stack of stuff but don't even know where to start

oh, and Peter Walsh's "enough already" is sitting here waiting for me to read it!
