Hey guys welcome back to the Clutterbug Podcast. I haven't

podcast in a while so I'm excited to do this one today and I wanted to talk about

one of my favorite organizing topics and that is what is your organizing style.

So when I was doing professional organizing, I really realized that everyone, all of my clients had different styles and I realized this through failure, absolute epic failures.

So I would organize this space based on what would work for me or what has worked for me in the past

or what worked for other clients and I would always get a call back and they just couldn't keep

the system going. I mean sometimes I got lucky in the first time around they were

keeping it going but I had a lot of clients because I always say if it doesn't

work for you call me back and we'll make sure that does, which is probably why being a professional

organizer wasn't overly, you know, wasn't something that I made a lot of money doing,

because I was constantly going back and helping them because I wanted to make sure that the system stuck and that the system was something that they could continue working.

But I learned a ton through this process.

And one of the biggest things I learned was that everyone sort of

organizes differently and something that works for me doesn't necessarily work

for everyone else organizing is not one size fits all. And you can see all these, you know, beautiful organized

spaces on Pinterest or you can watch some YouTube videos and see howtos. But but to copy that if that isn't your natural organizing style

is going to be a waste of your time and your money. And the other thing

and the other reason why I think this is so important is most of us live with family.

We have other people living in our space using our stuff and putting it away.

And if they organize differently than we do there can be some issues there.

And you probably hear like, why don't you put this where it belongs or you know whatever it is?

You know, if you have little kids, why can't they pick up after themselves properly well
