Watch what happens when you stop trying to organize clutter

Watch what happens when you stop trying to organize clutter and you focus on just getting it out we have a neurodivergent family that's overwhelmed and this is 10 years of build up realistically about 75% of this has to go and the family is on board willing and eager to get it done so on day one we jumped in broke the room down into zones and focused on getting out as much as we could and in two and a half hours we got six bags of trash and 11 bags of donation and this is how far we got so we're back for day two and we have the clothing to finish we gotta clear out this dresser we have the entire closet both sides and it goes back pretty far and of course we cannot ignore under the bed when working in a bedroom I always start with the clothing so I'm gonna gather all of it starting with this pile on the floor and break it down into tops and bottoms then I'm gonna collect what's in the dresser pull that out categorize it as well bring the client in to make decisions and then pull out the rest of the clothing that's in the closet and do another round of decluttering so we got two bags out for the clothing now we're gonna work the perimeter of the room and go through each section and have the client declutter make decisions either yes they keep it no it goes I always say categorize before you declutter but I've been working with this client for a year now she is a master decision maker so we were able to fly through this after going through all of those spaces we pulled out an additional four bags of trash and 12 bags for donation now that the hard work has been done now I get to do the fun part which is organize everything I'm gonna move the bookcase to the left side of the closet use that to hold all of the books and small card games and then I'm gonna use the top shelf for all activities and game sets sweep up all these little bits off the floor and now it's time to organize fold up hang up and put away all of the clothing always keeping the categories together so all the t shirts in one drawer all of the shorts in another everything fit really well between the closet and the dresser and last but not least a nice little vacuum of the floor so this is where we started and in only 5 hours and 45 minutes this is where we are we pulled out a total of 10 trash bags and 23 bags for donation if you struggle with clutter and you're ready to transform your home go check out my Declutter Kit it's a step by step guide and you can find it on my page
