The Organizing Style Revolution: Why One Size Doesn't Fit All
Have you ever stood in a room filled with clutter, feeling completely overwhelmed and wondering why you just can't seem to get organized like "normal people"? What if your struggles with clutter have nothing to do with character flaws and everything to do with your unique brain wiring? The revolutionary insight behind The Clutter Connection is simple yet profound: being organized doesn't mean changing who you are - it means designing systems that work with your natural tendencies rather than against them. For years, I believed I was simply "bad at organizing." The turning point came when I discovered that being less organized actually made me more organized. By abandoning complex systems that never worked with my ADHD brain and embracing simple open baskets with labels, I finally found success. This wasn't just about finding a better storage solution - it was about aligning my environment with how my brain naturally works.
