Where to start with home organizing?
Start by making a mess.
That’s right, the key to starting is making a mess. I always tell my clients it’s going to get worse before it gets better, just one thing at a time.
Making it perfect for you, when custom is worth the price
This is the best, but…
Fits your space, your stuff, and looks how you want it
Comes at a price… for now.
Not only money, but time… is it work it?
Think so and list why
Want something custom? Don’t know what flow analysis.
Why I love cardboard and you should too
When I was a kid I made a fort/spaceship out of cardboard and was fully armed with an arsenal of nerf guns and stocked up with snacks for my imaginary journey to some yet-to-be-explored planet or jungle. How did I travel there? In a giant scribbled upon refrigerator box, I connected to my bunk bed of course.
The difficulty with implementing new systems
Your past life has wired you to not succeed at these new systems. It’s just a battle. There’s little getting around it. Your habits and subconscious behaviors keep you in line with what you’re used to doing, that’s why you keep doing it, it’s the path of least resistance.
The endowment effect and how it affects you when trying to purge and reduce what you have
You’re such a child.
I mean, I am too, and there’s little we can do about it.
As humans, we just have a natural tendency to want to possess things. It’s written in our DNA, it’s a survival mechanism. If I have this, say tool like a spear, I’m better off and will have a better chance at finding food.
Why organizing feels so overwhelming
Lean back, maybe stare at the ceiling, and just take a moment to think about what it would be like to shuck 10,000 corn husks. What a daunting task, right? It looks and feels almost impossible, there’s no way you could ever do it, or is there?
