Send us a text
What if your clutter is more than just a mess? What if it's a chronic issue affecting your well-being and relationships? Join us on the Clutter Conversation podcast as we unpack the complexities of chronic disorganization (CD). With insights from the Institute of Challenging Disorganization, we distinguish CD from occasional clutter—and from hoarding—by highlighting its persistent nature, history of failed organizing attempts, and the overwhelming feelings it brings. Personal anecdotes bring these concepts to life, setting the stage for deeper discussions in future episodes.
Ever found your spoons in your kids' rooms? You're not alone! Keeping an organized household, especially with children, can be both amusing and exhausting. We tackle the humorous yet frustrating saga of missing silverware and explore how personalized organizational systems can make a difference. Drawing on advice from home care guru, the Fly Lady, we talk about the importance of daily routines and maintaining a clean sink. We also touch on the emotional toll of trying to stay organized, particularly when mental health and personal circumstances come into play.
Thinking of seeking professional help for chronic disorganization? We've got you covered. Learn about resources like the Institute for Challenging Disorganization and their Clutter Hoarding Scale. Discover practical strategies for breaking down large projects and the critical role of maintaining routines, even when faced with challenges like chronic pain. We emphasize the value of involving family members in these efforts, ensuring long-term success. Finally, we wrap up on a lighter note by celebrating Jason's triumph in organizing the barbecue drawer, coupled with our playful debate about who did more work, adding a dash of humor to our collaborative journey. Don't miss out—subscribe and stay tuned for more insights on achieving a stress-free, organized life!
