podcast 221 Why Do Organizing Systems Work for Some People And Not for Others at ASlobComesClean.com

Organizing systems that work great for some people fail miserably for others. I am generally one of the “others.” Through my deslobification process, I’ve figured out why and that’s what I’m talking about in today’s podcast.

    Just had a full blown revelation: my clutter threshold is different in different areas of my life! I am the queen of cute, complicated organization systems…at work. My desk is perfect (near calendar, paperclips and sticky notes organized by size), my computer has everything neatly filed and organized, inbox zero, the whole jam. But for whatever reason, that doesn’t translate at home. Too many personal distractions? I was kicking myself for my house falling apart, but now I’m thinking my threshold is just lower at home.

    (Or is it just that I try harder at work because they pay me. Maybe don’t examine too closely.) Anyway, it still feels like I’ve realized something significant.

    I really enjoyed the Organizing HQ, I have been inspired but your basic decluttering strategies work best for me! I like to be organized but I am practical as well and I know that I would not be able to maintain some fancy system! Your container concept has been a revelation to me. To base my decluttering on it helps me to part with my clutter! Thank you, Dana!

    Baskets and bins and such, I’m so glad I listened to this today! I was going thru homeschool books in the dining room, thinking I should bring them down to the perfectly wonderful school room in the basement (that I can’t use because there is not enough stimulation for my ADHD brain) and just grab them every day and then put them back each day. I hadn’t decided so they are in piles on the floor, but then I heard your podcast and I KNOW what would happen! I would get a collection upstairs where they don’t belong and end up overwhelmed and give up schooling for a few weeks. Bin of books. That’s good enough for me! This is where I am in this stage of life (homeschooling). Thank you for helping me figure myself out!

A Slob Comes Clean is the completely honest (and never-ending) story of my deslobification process. As I find ways to keep my home under control, I share the truth about cleaning and organization methods that actually work for a real-life slob. And I'm funny.
