Hey guys and welcome back to the clutter bug podcast. Today we're going to talk again about micro-organizing systems and visual versus hidden systems. So thanks again for joining me and I feel like maybe I've been beating this to death like a dead horse

0:30.7

but the crazy thing is I am seeing the different organizing types everywhere lately.

0:37.0

Everywhere I go, friends and families house, clients house, people that I see on online in my Facebook group, and just

0:47.0

looking at magazines and pictures. It's so funny. I think I have it on the brain because I'm writing

2:07.2

put it away.

2:08.7

2:10.8

For me as a ladybug, I need simplicity. I can't see my stuff. And for me, pretty over rules. It even
