I used to organize and then reorganize and then organize some more. I can’t tell you how many countless hours of my life I’ve spent organizing stuff.
Even when I was little, I remember trying to organize my room. I used to collect everything. I was very attached to the things I had and never got rid of anything. I would get new tubs to put my things in and stack them up in a new way. I’d reorganize my bookshelf to include my new things. I’d fill every inch with stuff. I considered it organized if similar stuff was in the same bucket. It didn’t matter if the stuff was hard to get to or stacked on top of each other or even if I used it. I thought I was organized, but I couldn’t figure out how to get organized for good!
After years of doing this, I finally realized what was keeping me from actually staying organized.
In this episode of The Simple Home Podcast I tell you what I was missing in the process and why I kept failing even though I owned a million tubs.
