How Clutter Impacts Mental Health
When you become aware of the impact clutter has on your mental health, such as increasing your stress level, you see that clutter isn’t just clutter. It’s actually something that can cause you to engage in other unhealthy behaviors, one of which is impulse control. We show you the impact of clutter and why it’s important to contain it.
Perfectionism - Your Home Will Never Be Perfect, Get Over It
With decluttering and organizing, there is no such thing as perfectionism. No such thing as a perfectly decluttered and organized house. It’s always a work in progress. Even my house, that of a professional organizer, is constantly being updated and decluttered. I try to keep only what I absolutely need or love.
Paper and Piles: Oh My! How to Declutter Paper
A single sheet of paper takes up little room, which makes it very easy to accumulate far too many papers before you realize it. If you don’t approach the paper selection process with a commitment to getting rid of almost everything, you will barely make a dent in the volume. Keep a pending box for those items that need immediate attention.

Boxes vs. Baskets - Which Is Better For Organizing?
In the debate between which is better for organizing, boxes or baskets, boxes win hands-down. Every time! “Why?,” you ask. There’s one simple reason: it’s hard to put two baskets together without creating an awkward space in between. And, when you have a lot of things to store, you need that extra storage area so all space is used.
Save vs. Spend - When Is It Time to Call In Professional Organizers?
Most people don’t have time, plain and simple. They work, raise kids, cook dinner, feed pets, and everything in between. Where do tasks of cleaning out a closet, kitchen, drawers, laundry room, etc. fit into that schedule? It’s hard to find time. We have developed Declutter Deck® to break organizing into simple bite-sized chunks of time.
Closet Clutter Chaos
Our main mission in the decluttering and organizing process is to allow you to be your best self, optimize what you already have, and make life easier and less chaotic. When we remain in the present, instead of worrying about the past or the future, we are in better touch with ourselves. This is great for our mental health.
Disguised Storage - Decorganize®
In our last blog, we talked about products that do double duty. Like storage ottomans and mirrors with hooks for jewelry. We love storage that doesn’t look like storage. We love ways to disguise storage, to make it look like it fits right in. We call it Decorganizing®,” which is organizing with beautiful and functional decor items.
