Organize & Cherish with The Organized Flamingo

134: A Powerful Part of Organizing is to Pause


Listen Later

In this episode, we challenge the all-or-nothing mindset around decluttering and organizing. Not everyone is a minimalist, and not every item needs to go in a donation bag to count as progress. We explore the emotional and personal work of deciding what to keep—not just what to toss—and why organizing is ultimately about awareness and alignment with the life you’re building today.


This is a gentle reminder that organizing with intention doesn’t have to mean constant letting go. Sometimes, it starts with simply asking the right question: What still deserves a place in my life right now?


In this episode we talk about:
  • Why organizing doesn’t always mean throwing things away
  • The importance of clarity, not speed, in the decluttering process
  • A mindset shift from “What should I toss?” to “What do I want to keep?”

Mentioned in this Episode:
  • A seasonal mindset check-in: embracing where you are right now
  • The emotional work behind identity and organizing
  • Weekly organizing nudges from the Organize & Cherish newsletter
