There’s one thing I’ve learned in my own organizing journey — and in helping others — and that is messiness will always be around. It’s not the enemy; it’s a natural part of life. What separates the truly organized from the constantly overwhelmed is simply how we manage it. 💪

Here are five ways to manage the messy, whether you’ve been organized forever or you’re just starting your journey:

1️⃣ DO NOT PANIC!
All is not lost with a little messiness. Panic is an emotional reaction that steals your ability to think clearly.
🧘‍♀️ Take a breath and remind yourself — you’re not messy, the space is messy. This is temporary.

 2️⃣ Go Back to Your “WHY”
Your why is the foundation of your organization journey.
Why did you want to live organized in the first place? 💭
Sit with that question until you remember the answer — it’s hidden right there in the messiness.

 3️⃣ Reset Your Systems
Living organized happens in seasons. 🌤️
It’s totally normal to reset your systems from time to time — for exam...

ACT-ION, Action, action — we want action! 💪
Okay, I just had to throw in a little cheer. This post is all about encouragement — because sometimes, all we need is a small nudge to get started.

If there’s one thing I could share with you, it’s this:
START!
Your organizing journey begins the moment you finish reading this blog.

1. Don’t Overthink It 🧠

Overthinking is procrastination’s best friend.
And that friendship won’t take you anywhere.

So let’s begin — pick any room in your house and start putting things away.
If something doesn’t belong there, move it to where it should be.
Simple. Quick. Effective.

Now pause for a second — how did that feel?

2. Keep It Quick and Manageable ⏱️

Work through that same room until it reflects your goal for the space.
This should take minutes, not hours.
(Skip the garage full of boxes for now — there’s time for that later.)

You can do this!

3. Clear the Trash 🗑️

The fastest way to breathe new life into a space?
Remove what doesn’t belong...
