EP 55: Make ‘Getting Organized’ The Easy Thing To Do

19 minutes

Getting organized shouldn’t feel like a constant struggle. Corinne Morahan breaks down how to set up systems that make organization the easiest option so you’re not relying on willpower to stay on top of things. What if your home worked with you instead of against you? What if small tweaks could eliminate daily frustration and make life run smoother?

Corinne shares simple shifts that transformed her own home, like ditching laundry baskets in her kids’ rooms to cut out an unnecessary step or expanding shoe storage to prevent the daily pileup. She also highlights creative solutions from her friend Briggs, who rethought where her family’s swim gear and socks belong based on how they actually live, not just where things are “supposed” to go.

The biggest takeaway? Organization should fit your life, not the other way around. If something feels like a hassle, it’s a sign the system needs to change. Corinne challenges listeners to spot the friction points in their routines and ask: How could this be easier? Because when the easy thing is the organized thing, staying on top of life stops feeling like a chore.

Quotes

“The solutions only need to make sense to you and only need to make your life easier. It doesn’t need to make sense to anyone else.” (14:51 | Corinne Morahan)

“Staying organized should not feel hard. It does require some maintenance, the Sunday reset or resetting whenever you feel like you need to, but it actually should not feel hard. And so, if you’ve spent the time and energy to get organized and it’s feeling hard, that is an important cue to you that you need to really reassess some of the systems that you’ve set up.” (16:04 | Corinne Morahan)

“When you set up systems that support your lifestyle, you eliminate the necessity for making decisions. You’ve just eliminated the necessity to make them. And that in and of itself makes life easier.” (17:30 | Corinne Morahan)
