Did you know that a cluttered home can contribute to stress, reduce productivity, and even impact overall well-being? This week on Room by Room: The Home Organization Science Insights Podcast, host Sabrina Oktavelia sits down with Oluwaseyi Popogbe, Ph.D. to discuss the crucial role of sanitation in maintaining a functional and harmonious home.

As a seasoned Economics lecturer and researcher with over a decade of academic experience, Oluwaseyi Popogbe, Ph.D. specializes in Development Economics, Environmental Economics, and Monetary Economics. Her work sheds light on the vulnerabilities of the urban poor, highlighting the impact of limited education, health challenges, and inadequate living standards on sanitation and home organization.

In this episode, Sabrina and Oluwaseyi Popogbe, Ph.D. dive into the importance of shared responsibility in keeping a home clutter-free. They explore how a lack of understanding of sanitation, especially in lower-income households, can contribute to declining living conditions. Additionally, they discuss actionable strategies for creating an organized home, including seeking support for those who struggle with cleaning—such as individuals with mental health challenges—so they can eventually maintain their space independently.

Tune in to this episode for practical insights on turning home organization into a collective effort and fostering a healthier, more organized living space!
