ADVICE

Contain Stuffed Animals Visibly

  • Use a hanging mesh holder or a large laundry hamper so stuffed animals stay visible and are easy for kids to access.
  • Let the container set the limit so you prevent overaccumulation of toys.
ADVICE

Fix A Monica Closet By Decluttering First

  • Tackle a Monica closet shelf by shelf and handle items one at a time to make progress without getting overwhelmed.
  • Declutter until contents genuinely fit the space and only then organize what remains for usability.
INSIGHT
