    Not buying storage solutions until everything is decluttered makes sense. It's actually just more stuff until you get organized! Thanks for pointing that out!

      Yea then it's more of a reward to go shopping for the solutions. Hearing it now makes SO much sense but until she said it, I would have bought bins an then used them to replace the broken ones and never "declutter" until those bins broke an needed to be replaced...again.

    I have been a “back stock” person for over 37 years- my mom and other family call it “keeping the pantry full for bad weather” in Maine (though I left 37 years ago to follow my husband in his military career) and they all are very organized about it- a friend in CO calls it a “prepper pantry”. Either way, keeping extras is always a good idea regardless of weather or economy or pandemics. And the “touch it once” is so smart! I always enjoy your videos!

    Oh wow! I had piles in my room as a teenager too, and told my mom the exact same thing...that I knew where everything was. We fought about it till my mother just started keeping my bedroom door shut so she wouldn't have to look at my mess! I thought that was a good solution. When I moved away from home, it suddenly became important to me to keep everything clean, neat and organized. I knew how because I'd been watching my mother all those years.
    I can understand what you mean about working at The Container Store. I've longed at times to work at Joane's Fabrics because I love being in that store! I'm SO happy when I'm there!

    This makes so much sense. I worked at Bed Bath and Beyond where we had a similar system at the end of the night. Straightening up is different from cleaning. I no longer waste my Sunday evenings cleaning. Have everyone do a 10 minute touch throughout your house. That includes lining items up on a shelf/counter, catching wayward items that missed the hamper, fixing the pillows/blanket on the sofa. Play 3 songs or set a timer and you'd be surprised at the difference in such a short amount of time. The key is not to get stuck on one item and keep moving. Cleaning will be easier when things are organized and in order.

    My biggest organization mistake was thinking that buying lots of organization items (bins, trays, dividers, boxes, etc.) were the key to actually getting and staying organized. Turns out, for me, most of them made organizing more difficult, as I tried to break items down into categories that were too small or too discrete. Which creates a LOT more work in staying organized. If you put all your socks in one place...easy! If you break down by colors or length...way more time. Also organization containers also take up room and limit your capacity, like in the pantry. It's also ok to open your pantry or cabinets or drawers and it's "good enough". So find your sweet spot. Loved the part about organization being a learned habit, which is what I have found.
    FYI, I am not a minimalist and I love my stuff!

  • @Dana-ml7sy
    @Dana-ml7sy 4 ปีที่แล้ว +25

    I found large plastic white trays from chicken breasts, washed out, were perfect for organising underwear. Clear fruit punnets in different shapes & sizes helped me separate my stuff in drawers or cabinets. Long oblong deep boxes of bulk bought cat food were ideal to put my baking trays in or cut down boxes were ideal to put the excess packets in my larder. My used herb & spice jars are used to store my own spice mixes or used to store my seeds. You don’t always need store bought items, although you have actually bought them! . You can spend a fortune on containers that you don’t need. Splurge when you can afford it & when it’s necessary. The plethora of utube videos on organising has spawned a desire for everyone to have a kardashian style pantry or wardrobes without having the space or money for the outlay. This lady is a more practical.

    This makes a lot of sense. It's like creating a spreadsheet or a document. You do all the typing first and then you do the formatting on the entire document or spreadsheet last. It saves oodles of time and generates a consistent look. I love the way you explained the backstock items. That's something I definitely need to work on. Ditto with the buying organizing solutions before organizing. So I've found that while I could use half the stuff, I had too many unused organizing solutions. New subbie btw. I just love the way you communicate. It all just made so much sense.

    I love it when I hear other people talk about working at TCS. I still work there going on year 6 in a few months. But everything you said was SPOT ON! I started on trucks, but found I did better at designing closets ;) Liked your point about backstock. I always tell my customers to aim to have their spaces 80% filled 80% of the time. That way, they can have wiggle room to place backstock items of their space a little more with new items before rotating them out. Organization WILL NOT work if you are buying stuff before decluttering. Instead, you will buy more crap to mask the crap instead of mastering it.Speak the truth girl! Love what you are doing. Keep up the great content.

I agree with all five lessons. Spot on. Also, when I got home from work, I made myself do 7 things (throw in a load of laundry, pay a bill, write a grocery list etc).

    There were so many useful tips here, I tend to be that everything In a pile type so that one touch system sounds really good but also something I need to pay attention to learn.

    What I've learned is that i have a bunch of containers in my home already. Those Amazon boxes are super sturdy and the Dollar Tree plastic containers are great.

    Yes, I know those fights about messes all too well, especially women are so harsh on other women and girls regarding order. I used to joke that you can be the worst serial killer instead of a kind and giving person caring about important issues in the world as long as you are tidy and slim as a woman. Thank you for the encouragement and the separation of organizing and emotions!

    You're so gosh darn sweet, the thought of sleet and snow just melted away. Hope things are warmer for you today. We've had 70's during the day here in Chicagoland. The Container store is such a great place. They've saved so many people's lives with all their amazing storage strategies. It boggles the mind really. Keep these wonderful vlogs coming, beautiful lady. Your smile and inspiration is so appreciated!

    Thank you, you make me feel sane. In such a good way, Two things I love doing research & organizing. I love the container store. I just can't afford to go there but once or twice a year. Never thought to look for a job there to learn more how to. Plus they are missing two market sections they might want to look into. Thanks again, for loving what you do. so do I.
