You are just the most hilarious person, I would listen to you talk all day. And also your organising insights have changed my life.

"Your approach to organizing should never be how it looks, but how it functions!" I LOVE it! That is definitely the essence of how we organize as well. No point in things looking pretty if they don't WORK! Great tips, as always!

Many moons ago when I lived in a house my craft room wasn't functioning well so I had this awesome idea to start from scratch. So I emptied EVERYTHING into the living room and kitchen. It took 4 hours to completely empty the room. Then I cleaned the rug, walls, windows, ceiling, fans, vents, you get the picture. Okay, clean slate, fresh start, let's start putting it back together. It took 2 weeks. Two weeks of tripping over stuff, sitting and eating on the floor. Lesson learned. Now I only clean, sort, organize, one drawer or cabinet at a time.

I've been doing laundry since I was old enough to reach the buttons on the machines, so, at 13 I think she is quite capable of taking that responsibility. I also like that they are being proactive and releasing you from the job instead of just being mad at you. What a nice family of problem solvers you have :-)

Don't feel bad about being in LaLaLand. My husband tells me all the time that I'm off in Jenniferland. But I like it there! The people are nice to me! ;)

“If you do something bad enough, for long enough, other people will take over.” 😂. You are the best!!!!

[sweetpea]

Bee here. I do it all! Lol. I love your clutterbug categories, Cas. You totally helped me recognize how I think & show the way out of the self-induced clutter!

[monique.]

“Embrace good enough” !!!! Yes thank you! As you said we can always change things later if we find it’s not working for us. 💞💓💗

UGH. Bee here. Over thinking is my middle name (and sometimes my first name). My only choice (because I couldn't take the mess any longer was to hire someone to help me: (1) declutter; (2) organize; and (3) decorate. Best money I ever spent. She was so good at keeping me moving forward. We cleaned out a 2 car garage that was filled top to bottom, side to side, in 6 weeks. We then organized all the interior spaces (including under cabinets and in closets), and decorated. It was amazing. Such a load lifted off my emotional (and physical) shoulders.

This is pretty much a hoarder’s mind 🙃

1). Over categories ✅
2). Over thinking ✅
3). Over Organize ✅ (unused hoarded organizing supplies)
4). Over comparing ✅
5). Over Estimating ✅ (like decluttering my house will take a bajillion years!!!)

Thank you for another great video ❤️❤️❤️

[traceygeorge]

“Embrace Good Enough” is my new mantra. THANK YOU (I needed permission, apparently😊)!

[iheartigloos]

I don't even watch other organization and declutter videos anymore....Everything you say and suggest makes sense and I've learned so much from your videos. They are real, honest, AND helpful. Thank you from Canada's pants. 😂🤗

[kimberlywalker]

You're right...I took a long organizing job...and made it even longer...by the reference books I made...🤪...in my crafting space...yeah...you're right...Thanks for the wisdom🙂

I come here for the great tips, but the stories at the end always make me chuckle. Love you Cass 🤣❤️.

[florencef]

Deat Cass, you are amazing. Don't make yourself smaller by saying you're not a bright lightbulb. There are many different kinds of intelligence. And the fact that you turn yours into money and happy people shows a lot of yours 💟

Yep, I looked at my kitchen utensils draw today and thought it was time to reorganize! I grabbed some empty bins I already had and got to work. Took me about 10 minutes start to finish. So, I moved up to my cupboards above my stove. Took me about 10 minutes 😊. It's the starting that's the hardest part!

[alma.christina]

I’m shrinking everything and burning every meal from now on.. thanks for the advice!

[pattygailcreations]

My hubby does all five of these which is why after 22 years his home office has never been straight. Thank goodness for doors. I will probably show him this video. Thanks Cas.

I have OCD (in many different areas of life, not just cleanliness/orderliness), so I naturally tend toward overthinking. I am such a perfectionist, that I have procrastinated for so long and my house is a messy cluttered disaster. I would try to get it all done on a weekend and invariably get depressed come Sunday night when that wasn't possible. I have finally started to embrace the idea of "progress, not perfection" and accept that I won't get it all done at once. As you've said here, Cas, doing a little bit each day will get you there.

[lollabells]

Your laundry story is GREAT! Oh my gosh, I can SO RELATE about how your mind just goes into La-La land! When you said that, “and it’s a lovely place” I fell over laughing! My dad was right next to me, he asked me Is that person talking about you, because she just described you perfectly 😂😂!
Anyways your stories are so wonderful, I always enjoy them so much, and I really needed to hear some of these mistakes today too! We are re-organizing & re-doing some rooms in our home. And let me tell you over thinking & then looking for ideas has been overwhelming! You are right we need to do what works for US & the main reason we are doing this project is due to my chronic illnesses & allergies. We don’t want to move, we love our home & the location but it’s getting harder with my illnesses & allergies. So out with harsh chemicals & products & clutter & heavy hard to move items, on to the new!
