Ever feel like you need to have everything perfectly labeled, color-coded, and pinned to a vision board before you’re allowed to make something? Yeah… no thanks.

This week on Crafty Ass Female, we’re breaking down what it means to be organized enough—and why that’s all you actually need to get started.

Whether your paints are in rainbow order or shoved in a box (hi, same), this episode is about finding what works for you—not for whatever everyone else is doing online.

What You’ll Get from This Episode

Here’s what we’re diving into:

My paint chaos confession: why I’ve been procrastinating organizing my paints (and how it’s actually helping me learn what I love)

What “organized enough” really means: spoiler—it’s not about your shelves, it’s about your creative flow

Creative friction & real-life fixes: small shifts that make it easier to sit down and actually make stuff

This episode is for you if you’ve been telling yourself:

“I’ll get back to creating as soon as I get my space together.”

Big Takeaways

🎨 You can’t organize a mystery.If you’re still figuring out how you want to use something — like I am with paint — give yourself space to experiment before you try to build the perfect system.

✏️ “Organized enough” = less friction.It’s not about looking pretty — it’s about reducing the tiny decisions that get in the way of making stuff.

🖌 Organize around your real life, not your fantasy studio.Your space should support how you work right now. That’s the whole point.
