In this podcast, we discuss:
- ways to think about kid toys and getting them under control.
- how to incrementally clean up something an overwhelming space where there are lots of different categories that should be stored together and you don’t know how it will all fit until it’s done.
- where to start when you have space and have containers but don’t know where to begin.

I think she has the same problem I had!! I thought “clutter” was stuff I didn’t have room for. So when I went in and cleaned a room and space for everything, it all fit, I didn’t understand why I couldn’t maintain clean. What clicked for me was YOUR definition of clutter which is anything l can’t keep under control. It doesn’t matter if I I have room…I don’t put it away day to day and I can’t maintain that much stuff! What has been so helpful for me is transitioning to how much can I control…not how much can fit. I leave most spaces no more than 70% full and THAT has been the magic for me!!!
I very much appreciated the questions that Divya was trying to ask. I find I struggle with the same things. We have room for all of the toys, but I don’t think we need all of them, nor am I good at getting rid of them!
