Hi friend! Are you tired of tripping over the pile of shoes or backpacks that inevitably pile up near the front door or spill out of the laundry room? Do you constantly get bogged down by the endless pile of papers that accumulate on your kitchen countertops? Do you wonder why you can't ever find the thing that you're certain you already owned? It might not be a MESSY or an ORGANIZING problem...it might be a SYSTEM problem.

In today's episode I'm walking you through 5 simple steps for recognizing problem areas in your home that spill over into messiness and make you feel disorganized.

1. Identify your high traffic zones. Those are usually the culprits for the cogs in the wheel - the messy or unorganized places.

2. Disect the problem in that area. What's currently happening that isn't working.

3. Identify HOW you want that space to function for you. How can it work harder for you and not you for it.

4. Start making a plan for remediation - really thinking about what it is you need (or already have) in order to solve this problem.

5. Execute!

Bonus tips are included for when motivation at this stage is now the cog in your execution wheel.

Happy organizing!
