How do you organize when you have too much stuff?

 

Today's episode is answering a listener's question who is asking for organizing tips throughout the home, especially when you have too much stuff. Is it possible? 

Short answer - yes! When you utilize your home's natural boundaries, then categorize and sub-categorize within those boundaries not only will you be able to find what it is you are looking for, but you'll be able to see when you're stuff exceeds the boundaries. THIS is a natural way to help you keep the clutter out. 

For example: the natural boundary in the kitchen is the pantry with five shelves. Each shelf houses items that fit categorically (i.e. baking shelf, general cooking shelf, snack shelf, etc). On each shelf are sub categories, i.e. smaller containers to house the category of item. When that container reaches capacity it's time to use what I have, go through what's there or stop purchasing said items. 

Example in my home:

Natural boundary: pantry with five shelves

Categories: general cooking shelf

Sub-categories: container for pastas, container for grains, section for canned goods
