Summary

Hey Clutterbugs! Today, I’ll help you declutter, clear your kitchen counters, and build simple home organization systems that actually stay tidy. You’re not messy, you just organize differently! Together, we’ll find the system that fits your brain: I’ll show you how to read your clutter as feedback, and your life will change. In this episode, we’re getting super practical: we’re going to work backwards from your clutter to figure out why your house keeps getting messy, and what to change so it finally feels easier to maintain. We’ll talk about: - Why organization is not one-size-fits-all (and why “traditional” systems fail so many of us) - How to read the mess as feedback (not judgment) and “debug” your home - Building systems for your worst-day self, not your Pinterest best day - And the three biggest breakdowns that keep homes messy Want to get organized?

You're not messy. You just organize differently. And I know I've been talking about this for years.

0:06.8

This is one of those like quintessential. Is that the word? Cassisms. If I do say so myself, it is what the

0:14.1

framework of my entire business is built on. Organization is not one size fits all. And if you have

0:20.3

failed, it's probably because you're using a

0:22.9

system that isn't meant for your brain but what does that actually mean like what does that look like

0:29.4

that's what we're talking about today i'm going to show you how we can work backwards from your

0:35.1

stuff from your clutter to really identify your organizing style and

0:40.6

design a system that works, not for your idealized version of yourself, but for your true

0:47.3

organizing style. And as your organizing system improves in your home, your entire life gets better. Just like always, you are not allowed

0:57.1

to just passively watch or listen to this podcast. I want you to take action. I want you to walk away

1:03.5

at the end of this time together so freaking proud, not only of yourself, but of what you've

1:09.6

accomplished. And I have a challenge for you

1:11.8

today. If you're driving, please just drive. Just look at the road. But if you're at home,

1:17.3

what if today you make your kitchen sparkle? Like the challenge today is a clear counter challenge.

1:26.5

And this is extreme, I know, but we're going to be hanging out for

1:29.0

almost an hour. You can do big things in an hour. Remove a few things, or a lot of things, hopefully,

1:36.1

from your counter and find homes for them in the cabinets. Now, you visual organizers, this is going to

1:41.4

be extra tough, but let me tell you, we have a hard rule. If you don't

1:45.3

use something every day, it is not important enough to be in your visual space. Because when

1:51.4

everything is visual, nothing is visual. And you are just distracted by stuff. I want you to walk in

1:57.6

your kitchen and feel inspired to cook. I want you to walk in your kitchen and have it be a calm space for gathering with your family.

2:05.3

I want you to feel like not overwhelmed, but instead in control.
