Am I the only one who would love to see the space a few months after Cas organized it? I want to see how easy it was for the client to maintain

[MrsAlexisAgnew]

Cas, you low-key saved my marriage! 😅😅 My husband is a butterfly and absolutely WILL NOT put things away unless they’re on hooks or in clear bins in his drop zones.
But I didn’t know this until I had him take your test. Now we have less squabbles about his “messiness” because he’s not “messy” anymore! So thank you! 😇😇
(P.S. We found out he has ADHD, which helped explain soooo much.)

Thank you to everyone that allowed Clutterbug into their home for filming their private messy areas! It takes guts and I loved the duck tape corset btw :)

Pegboard tip I learned: using a marker, outline which item gets hung on which peg. Not only will you see where the items go after use, but you'll WANT to put them away and fill in those empty outlines.

Congratulations! We are celebrating our 20th next month (and also have no plans yet!). One creative thing I've done in the past is I had his watch repaired, something he would never do on his own. Then I made a treasure hunt for him to find it, with clues hidden around the house. The first clue was in his back pocket (oh I'm sneaky like that). He loved it and still talks about it.

So I guess my advice is to find something from your past and bring it to life again. Recreate a first date; day-rent his beloved sports car from his bachelor days; take him somewhere he's always wanted to go, break out the wine from your wedding day that's been sitting on the shelf. To us, special isn't about things, but memories. Good luck!

This might help those who have trouble finding their organization style because it varies: For digital stuff, I’m a cricket - NOTHING on the desktop, but everything tucked away into folders within a detailed, logical hierarchy. For crafty stuff, I’m a total bee - cover fabric in this open box, trims in that one, lace in a third, and myriad open containers for scissors, paperclips etc (no lids, no doors, or I won’t find it or use it, easy retrieval is KEY). Same for my wardrobe - I need detailed categories but I MUST SEE EVERYTHING. For cleaning, paperwork and exercising - the not-so-fun stuff - I’m a butterfly. I need to see the mop, or I won’t mop, I need to see the dishcloth or I won’t wetwipe, but I can store those things a little more jumbled. For papers, broad categories are key because otherwise I’ll give up before I’ve even started. So yeah, it can vary between different areas of your life.

Been following you for YEARS! I lost my daughter and then moved halfway across the country and everything fell apart and I lost my way. Recently started following your videos again and you inspired me to get my new home organized and beautiful and HAPPY again… THANK YOU!!

[MrsAlmaTrumble]

Organization isn’t about perfection; it’s about efficiency, reducing stress and clutter, saving time and money, and improving your overall quality of life.

[lynnlandia]

OMG, you are hilariously adorable, respectful and kind to the people. BUT more importantly, you SERIOUSLY KNOW WHAT YOU ARE TALKING Great tips and ideas. Bless you.

Omg I’m SO a Bee, and a crafter. Before I was diagnosed with adhd last year, my husband had actually helped me deal with the Bee habits a lot. My craft room was so overloaded with stuff! He made me look at things, and if they were “someday projects”, pack them in totes and move them to the basement. Then, months later when I was in the mood to sort and organize that stuff, it was easier to realize and admit to myself what I probably would never get around to using, and was therefore much easier to get rid of.

[PengunCutixoX]

As a user experience designer, one of my favorite takeaways from user behavior courses is “users aren’t lazy, they’re efficient.” I’ve taken this to heart and started to apply it elsewhere in life outside of work, and it’s like what you said at the beginning of this video! People aren’t lazy; if a system doesn’t work for them they’re not going to use it, they’re going to find ways around it, or they’re going to break it trying to make it work.

One valentines I gave my husband a jar filled with paper hearts and on each heart I wrote why I loved him

I am definitely a ladybug. After watching this, I organized several areas of my kitchen today. This was NOT my plan for the day, and I don’t have a lot of clutter, just needed to make my cabinets flow better🙂 It’s addictive!

[Ellaodi]

Get his truck detailed. Set it up with a good local person in your area and take care of scheduling it for him Ata time that works for him. And maybe give him a full day of his favorites? Or make him a "good old days" flipbook of your favorite memories together and things that you're so thankful for where he's really been an amazing partner, dad, provider, whatever is important to him. Doesn't have to be fancy.

[Skymouth]

When you watch so much Clutterbug you've already seen every single video from all the sample videos she shows in a best of video but you still watch it again anyways because everyone loves Cass!

[FilippaSkog]

Cricket living with a bunch of ladybugs here. Works really well! As long as I don’t have to see all our things I don’t mind having open bins and baskets with bigger categories. However, I keep our cabinets and closets tidied because I can’t stand mess even behind closed doors.

Realising our organising styles was a game changer for sure. I never understood why my detailed systems didn’t work for everyone else and used to be very annoyed about them cramming everything everywhere. Now I live like a ladybug and enjoy my family actually keeping up with my level of tidiness!

[nadinewebber]

Since you have been married 22 years, come up with 22 little things that you know he would really appreciate because you know each other so well. It can be a mix of activities and presents. Examples: 1. Massage 2. Favorite drink 3. Favorite snack 4. A brochure wrapped in a box for the place you will get away. 5. Show tickets 6. Anytime you want to use it pass good for at least 30 minutes of undivided attention. 7. Watching or doing something you don't normally participate in like going to the others favorite sporting event, movie, hiking spot, etc. You get the idea? Good luck! Congratulations on 22 years! Thank you so very, very much for teaching Mr about decluttering.❤

[allisonmcqueen]

Since the Christmas holidays, because of YOU, I have decluttered and organized almost every inch of my house…I have recently been suffering from anxiety and NOW seeing a clutter free space has been life changing for me! Thank you for making videos to help people like me!

[karenhernandez]

I am a Bee! Once I got rid of most of my clothes it became easy. Now I use the new, in old out.
I never bring something in without getting rid of something.
I recently organized my spare room and am using it for exercise. I even leave my yarn that I crochet with out so;like a Bee, I can see it.
Thank you for having the test to help me find my organizing style. 🤗

Valentine Date night idea: Guys love the simple things. Send kids out for the night. Turn off your phones. Order in his favorite food and do movies or games, whichever he prefers. Just give him your undivided attention. He will love it! ❤ This is such a great video! ❤
