i still want to help you!
not ready to get on my schedule?
- Start small—choose one drawer or one category (like socks or greeting cards).
- Set a timer for 15 minutes and stop when it dings—progress counts, not perfection.
- Always sort before you buy containers—function before fancy!
- If it takes longer than 5 seconds to decide whether to keep it… set it aside and come back.
- Use the "Would I pay to move this?" test for items in storage.
- Label bins or boxes with painter’s tape until you’re sure about their final use.
- Keep a donation bin in your closet or garage—toss in items as you go.
- Take a photo of sentimental items you no longer want to store physically.
- Give everything a “home”—if it doesn’t have one, that’s a red flag.
- Don’t organize when you’re tired or emotional—it makes decision-making harder.
- Put a “do not disturb” sign on the process—this is your space, your pace.
- Remember: progress over Pinterest. Real life isn’t staged, and that’s okay.
