ADVICE

Personalized Organization

Let go of judgments and strict rules around organizing.
Personalize your system; items should go where they have meaning for you, not where they 'should' go.

ANECDOTE

His nighttime sock placement, while seemingly cluttered, is organized for his morning dog walk routine.

ADVICE

Non-Judgmental Organization
