Optimal Order
"A place for everything and everything in its place"
- Benjamin Franklin
​​When we organize, we find homes for the items you've chosen to keep.
Like Clear the Clutter, we consider habits. Where do you use it most? This helps us determine the best location to "house" it.
When you're done using an item, where do you usually put it?
This informs us on how you live, day to day, so we can create systems to support a long-lasting habit of order.
How do you naturally store things? Visual or hidden.
Visual: keep things out where they can see them, like papers on the fridge, or makeup on the bathroom counter.
Hidden: like things tucked away neatly in drawers or behind doors.
Or are you a mix of both, depending on the space?​
How do you naturally sort things? Detailed or broad.
Detailed: group things into tiny, specific categories. Clothes by shirts, work shirts, pants, dress pants. Toys by bath toys, dinosaurs, cars, princesses. Shoes by purpose, size, colour, purpose. Books by title, colour, size or genre. Etc
Broad: use larger categories, clothes, toys, shoes, and books. Big-picture sorters make it quick.
