Hey Reader,

Here's a fun fact:

The home organizing industry is worth over $12 billion... yet our homes aren't getting less cluttered.

In fact, many of us have more storage bins, baskets, drawer dividers, and labels than ever before—and somehow still feel overwhelmed.

Girl, I spent THOUSANDS on organizing things when I could have removed things first and gone on a fun vacay with the hubs somewhere warm!

Because organizing isn't usually the problem.

It's the order we do things in.

One of the biggest mindset shifts I've made over the years is this:

Don't organize clutter. Reduce it first.

When we buy bins before making decisions, all we've really done is give our clutter a nicer place to live.

Instead, try asking yourself one simple question before you organize anything:

"If I were starting with an empty room today, would I choose to keep this?"

That one question can save you from buying storage for things that don't actually belong in your life anymore.

Once you've simplified, organizing becomes surprisingly easy. You'll often find you need far fewer containers, shelves, and elaborate systems than you ever imagined.

I dive much deeper into this (including the biggest organizing mistake I made myself) in this video:

I think it might completely change how you approach your next decluttering project.

Stay tidy & mighty
