Organizing Priciples that Never Change

Principles are timeless.  They never change.  Here are the top ones I have found from  all the studying and reading I have done over the years.  Try to implement one at a time and see how it changes your life.

1)  Set priorities and live by them.
2)  People over things.
3)  Become a person of one.  One of everything within reason.
4)  Keep it if its useful or beautiful.
5)  Set a limit on your closet.  Is it 40 pieces?  50?  You decide and stick to it. 
6)  One in one out.  Great way to keep a handle on the incoming flow of items.
7)  Everything has its place.  Put it there.
8)  Use a paper calendar.
9)  Budget.  This is sets financial limits on consumption.
10)  Simplify, simplify, simplify.
11)  You are not your stuff. 
12)  Memories are attached to experiences with people not their stuff they leave behind.
13)  Get rid of the likes to enjoy more time with the loves.
14) Clear out the excess and organize the rest.

I am sure there are more than this but these are my favorites so far.  Do you have any favorite tried and true organzing priciples?
