Beyond wanting to feel more organized and learning the steps to get there, every client brings two very important things into a project: what we call their style and their focus. Your style is how you operate. Your habits, patterns, and the reasons you got to where you are. Your focus is your main goal, or the outcome you care about most.

Difficulty with decluttering is often explained as a lack of motivation or discipline. Research in behavioral psychology suggests a different explanation. This blog post explores how cognitive load, capacity limits, and decision fatigue contribute to avoidance, and why readiness usually emerges only after action has already begun.

Visual noise is the constant stream of cues our brain receives from cluttered or unfinished spaces. Even small amounts of excess input raise cognitive load and makes it harder to rest or focus. This post explains why visual clutter feels heavier than we realize, and how clearer systems create immediate relief.

Chronic disorganization starts long before the clutter shows up. Here’s what’s actually going on beneath the surface.

Feeling stuck or short on time? You don’t need a full day to make progress. These three quick organizing wins can shift the energy in your space, and your mindset, in just a few minutes.

Research backs it up: in one study from the University of Toledo, toddlers were given two play sessions, one with 16 toys and one with 4. When only four toys were available, the children played longer with each item and used them more creatively. The researchers concluded that an abundance of toys may create distraction, while fewer toys encourage deeper, more focused play (Dauch et al., 2018).

The hardest part about perfectionism isn’t the standard itself but the pressure that comes with it. When it all feels like a test you might fail, it’s just easier not to start at all. Over time, that pressure builds into shame: “I should be able to handle this,” “I should have fixed this by now.” What I’ve learned? Perfectionism doesn’t protect us from failure, it keeps us in it.

I’ve learned that letting go isn’t about being ready. Most of the time, we’re not. We just reach a point where the weight of holding on feels heavier than the thought of letting go.

Shame creeps in when we start connecting our surroundings to our worth. A messy kitchen becomes "I'm failing at being a mom." But clutter is just stuff in the wrong place, or too much stuff for the space it's in.

Sometimes, when we try to make organizing decisions right away, it gets overwhelming fast. Instead of sorting and decluttering and figuring out where things go... let’s just start by grouping similar items together.

When you're decluttering and feeling stuck, ask yourself this one question that helps your decision get clear fast. It moves you past guilt or sunk cost, and centers your decision on the life you're living right now.

The hardest part isn't always deciding what to let go of, it's following through on where it all goes. To make this step easier, I've put together a Moncton area directory for all your past loved items. With this guide, you'll know exactly where each type of item can go, so you don't get stuck with an unfinished project.

Tired of feeling like the mess always wins? This post reveals the simple practice that works behind the scenes to keep your home under control. Think of it as the ''secret weapon'' stopping clutter before it piles up. No complicated steps, just a small shift that makes your space easier to manage day after day.

Decanting can make your spaces look like a Pinterest board, but it's not always worth the effort. In this post, we're breaking down which foods and products are actually worth transferring into containers, and which are better off left in their original packaging. Save yourself time, money, and frustration by focusing on only the swaps that make a real difference.

A current client had, as most of us do, many, many photos in various states of organization (if any at all). She had attempted to get...

Clutter affects everyone, although we all deal with our clutter differently. The Oxford dictionary defines clutter as “a lot of things in an untidy state, especially things that are not necessary or are not being used; a lack of order”, and here’s the thing- it’s sort of unavoidable. One of the most valuable tools I’ve learned throughout my organizational journey is to embrace that temporary states of clutter are okay. They’re necessary. We have to be free to live and to crea

You aren't alone. So many of us struggle, for our own reasons, to let go of what has found its way into our space. That's ok. To move...

Over my adult years, I've moved 9 times. That's 18 times I've packed and unpacked my kitchen. As odd as it may seem, I've actually...
