November 2, 2026 · 49 min

Show notes

Most organizing advice from influencers fails because it skips the fundamentals, so today is all about the 4 organizing basics I use in every home.


Hey Clutterbugs! This week I’m walking you through exactly what I look for when I walk into someone’s home. That includes why your organizing products might be part of the problem, why surfaces are hot lava, and my one-hand test for every closet and cabinet.
