Episode 64: Imperfect Decluttering that is Perfect for You with Amelia Shoptaugh

Are you tired of feeling overwhelmed by clutter and unrealistic organizational standards? In today's episode, we're diving deep into the art of decluttering with a refreshing perspective. Get ready to reclaim control over your environment and embrace the beauty of a lived-in home. Let's dive in!

Main take aways

• Place items where they are used, rather than where convention dictates they "should" be placed.
• Overcome the pressure of achieving a Pinterest-perfect organization; start organizing regardless.
• Define your own version of perfection in organization.
• Allocate small time intervals daily or monthly to assess and maintain clutter.
• Begin organizing without delay; progress will follow naturally. Return items to their designated places regularly, even if it means unconventional storage solutions like a basket of shoes in the dining room.
• Remember, a lived-in home is normal, and you're not alone in embracing it.
