    The it’s-all-connected detox planner

    Bad habits holding you back? Find your biggest vice and follow the dots to see how tips for tackling one negative trait can help you handle another.

    By Nina Christensen, Tina Riopel and Nicole Tourtelot


      SMOKING  |  WORKAHOLISM  |  BINGE DRINKING  |  CITY ADDICTION  |  BAD EATING HABITS  |  NEGATIVE ENERGY  |  BAD SEX  |  GOSSIP ADDICTION  |  HARD DRUGS  |  HARMFUL CHEMICALS  |  CLUTTER



    1. Let Home Depot show you where to keep your shoes; They host an “Organize Your Closet Space” workshop on Thu 3. (40 W 23rd St at Sixth Ave, 212-929-9571)

    2. “Decide to decide,” says professional organizer and speaker Stephanie Calahan. Determine whether to keep or toss every item you pick up.

    3. Go see the Frank Lloyd Wright room at the Met. Its clean lines just might inspire you to tidy up your own room. (Metropolitan Museum of Art, 1000 Fifth Ave at 82nd St; 212-535-7710)

    4. Bring someone home. The prospect of leading a date through the maze of books and pizza boxes could motivate you to clean up your act.

    5. One step at a time: Try tidying up for just 15 minutes each day; by the end of the week, you might be able to see the floor.
