LIVE WORKSHOPS! Join us for our Clutter Clinic Workshops, where we’ll tackle the mess and create simple systems that actually work for your life! Whether it’s your closet, kitchen, garage, digital files, or even that endless pile of paper, we’ve got you covered with practical, doable strategies that make organizing easy—and even a little fun!
Thanks to our amazing sponsor, Kate Hufnagel, aka the Digital Wrangler, we’re starting the year with a focus on decluttering not just our homes, but our digital lives, too. You can check out her offerings here.
Ever feel like organizing your home is a solo mission, only for your family to come through like a tornado and undo all your hard work? Yeah, we’ve all been there. But guess what? It is possible to get your family involved in keeping things tidy—without nagging (too much).In this episode of This Organized Life, I’m sharing my go-to strategies for turning reluctant family members into organization allies. We’ll talk about why giving ownership is a game-changer, how to simplify systems so everyone can actually follow them, and why a little positive reinforcement can go a long way. Oh, and let’s not forget about clear communication, setting consequences, and modeling good habits.
Plus, I’ve got an exciting update—our Clutter Clinic is back! This time, we’re tackling closets. If yours looks like a black hole of forgotten clothes and mismatched shoes, you don’t want to miss this one.
Key Takeaways:
  • The five strategies that actually work to get your family involved in organizing
  • Why ownership, simplification, and consistency are non-negotiable
  • The power of clear communication (and what to do when words alone don’t cut it)
  • A sneak peek into the upcoming Clutter Clinic—your closet will thank you!
Why You Should Listen:
