Ten Things I've Learned About People While Organizing Their Homes

I would like to share with you in this video ten things I've learned about people while organizing their homes. Being a professional organizer has taught me a lot of things about people and their behavior and I think some of the lessons I've learned while helping people can help you to become more organized in your home. There are many reasons people are disorganized and everything is different, but I find a few things to be true for everyone when dealing with disorganization in their homes. I hope this video gives you an insight into some of your own behavior and helps you become more organized! I hope you enjoy this video!

I’ve watched (and rewatched) your videos and the best thing you said - “just keep going when you’re overwhelmed”. It’s resonated with me and I’ve done it many times with your voice in my head / thank you much Kay.
Also - love ❤️ Clover bean!

I always feel stressed when things are unorganized and messy, and feel calm and happy with a clean and organized home😀 Great video, love the topic.

Hi Kay how are you? this is a comment that I left on "what does a professional home organizers home look like" (from dec.2017) on your youtube channel .and here you just talk about stress !!! Hi Kay, How are you?I just found you !!!! First let me tell you how beautiful you are !! I love everything you show in this video !!! from beginning to end !!! People that say some bad comments probably live in a very disorganize homes.I love that you talk !!! and I could be watching your videos for hours.Thank you so much for taking your time and show us just how organize you are.I love to be organize, everything has to have a place.Some people have depression and sometimes they dont even know why.I did some research between people that I know that suffer from depression, and most has a really messy house.I think its too much stuff for the brain to absorb and its overwhelming.I always look for more inspiration, and that is how I found you.Thank you again! huge hugs. irene.

Totally agree about owning stuff for the person you are now. Ten years ago I wanted to make a quilt out of t-shirts, so I collected a bunch of tees but never ended up making the quilt. When I came across the box of shirts, I felt guilty at first for never making the quilt...but then I realized I don't even want a t-shirt quilt anymore!

Love love love this one, Kay! Excellent tips! The first one is the hardest for me to deal with - especially when I go to my sister's house! 🙄

I'm guilty of living in the past, not clothing, but keeping my granddaughters papers, coloring projects, etc. But I've decided, that's my new project to do, to save some of the stuff, but really clear out a lot of school papers, etc. And you are definitely correct, we can't watch your informative channel, without seeing CLOVER!! cute!!🐶

[rosemarykusak]

I'm a new subscriber. I love your channel (your inspiration and my favorite thing is Clover. Clover is ADORABLE !!

Hahahaha! I just gave away my collection of cookies cutters, which I haven't used in more than 20 years. About kids' art and projects, some things you keep for them and some you keep for yourself. I have a few clay "pinch pots" and other small items my son made when he was little and I use them for things like paper clips, a ring holder next to the sink, etc. They always give me a smile and are useful.

You are so on point ...
Regarding gifts :
-Always give with a gift receipt ( I rather the person exchange it for something they really like )
- if you have unwanted gifts give them to charity ( I do an annual carnival for 1000 unprivileged ppl and I ask my friends and family to look in their closets for new unwanted items . I get 150 items that I raffle off and the ppl receiving it are sooo happy )

-gifts for children -
1) ask the parents if you can contribute towards a high ticket item the child wants or needs
2) parents are sometimes decorating the room so I bought items of that cartoon character ... this way the child will use it daily .
-3) I took my niece to Disneyland when she was little. When she was 16 I surprised her with appointment for a make over at Sephora ( included Hair / make up/ fragrance/ skincare) in a private room . 2 years later she still has the pic as her social media pic .
4) give the parents cash to start the child a college fund or a savings bank account

Clover cam - so cute. Great video (again)..girl, I see a HUGE number of subscribers in your future.

[BusyWifeandWorkingMom]

I have saved this as a "reminder" video to help motivate organizing habits :) thank you!

[carolynjones]

LOL! Great pep talk. My mom [God bless her] was a borderline hoarder. She kept every report card, term paper, notebook I ever owned from my school days. And yes, I got rid of them [after she passed away, otherwise she would have killed me] So true, so true. Thanks so much for sharing.

[bathos]

Super informative! Thank you. Just love how Clover looks at you and tilts his head...too cuute! 💕Also, I miss "stay neat".

[sashac]

I'm loving VEDA with you! What an effort you've put in.

[allisonhitt]

I was flying to the comments to ask where clover was! You know better than to leave that sweet boy out! Loving daily videos, my toddler son loves listening to you while we clean up 😝

[lareelongtin]

Love this video! 😊❤️ Clover is such a cutie, so glad we got to see him as well 🐶💙

[thehandmaidhome]

I'm guilty on so many levels! I agree with the bad habits part too. I realize, after moving on my own, that you essentially just carry your bad habits with you. You can't even blame anyone because it's all on you! LOL I'm definitely on the path of decluttering because the older I get, the more I need to see less in my face. So, typically, how does a person hire an organizer? I'm enjoying participating in VEDA as well. Wishing you all the best this month!

[asoto]

You make a lot of sense. Clutter makes me overwhelmed. I try to keep things as neat as possible. I also like cabinets with doors cause if I can't get to it right away, lock it up.

So happy to see you every day in April!

So happy we will see you everyday in April.
