And it is so so so true! I had to listen to her book a couple of times but once you actually listen and take to heart what she says, it all makes so much sense. Also she says that folks can be a bit of a mix. I would say that it’s like a “primary” mode and a “secondary” mode. In the end, it’s all about being aware of what you tend to do and not what you wish you were like.

I can tell you one thing: as we grow and change, so does our style...including organizing style. I remember being in my -teens (having no kids and a better memory) I was a total butterfly: everything on display, bright and shiny, but in a very relaxed way! As I got married and had kids, I went through both cricket and ladybug fazes (as a means of trying to control all the messiness of parenthood)... Now that I am in my 40s and my kids are grown, I have come a full circle and discovered myself as a BEE (still things on display, still bright and shiny, but in a more meticulous way (i guess i'm still trying to control things 🤦‍♀))... What I am saying is: life happens, we change, priorities shift...just gotta allow ourselves transform...

Im a hardcore cricket and my husband is the most relaxed butterfly.I recently reorganized my linen closet. Instead of driving myself crazy I decided to compromise and organize as a “relaxed bee”. I got lots of clear plastic bins with lids and I while my categories are many more than a butterfly, they are still much broader than I would choose to do personally . While I thought it would make me anxious or feel like a sloppy disorganized mess, this system of compromise works because my husband is keeping up wi th the bins, isn’t overbuying because he can see through the bins and sees if we have something (he will NEVER rummage through a bin looking for pain medication or toothpaste), and yet there is organization and containment. I also am happy because I can just shut the closet door and not have to see the clear bins that slightly stress me out. “Good enough is good enough” is the motto I have adopted.

That's awesome that as a butterfly your husband is able to maintain the containers with lids, usually that would be too much for a butterfly! That's why I love clear drawers like the ones cass used for the bee in this video, nothing is out in the open but drawers are so much quicker and convenient!

I feel like my organizing style changes based on the area/what is being stored, so videos like this of all 4 styles represented is SUPER helpful! I would love to see a series where you organize the various common storage areas of the house (ie pantry, linen closet, clothes closet, mudroom/coat closet, cleaning closet, etc) using each of the 4 organizing styles like you did in this video.

I'm a bee and my fiance is a ladybug. So we've compromised with the butterfly system! It helps me to let things be "good enough" but still visual and it helps him just get things into the categories easily enough. And because our clear bins can be tucked into cabinets and such, it can be mostly out of sight but once you open the cabinet/closet, there's a nice pleasing visual for me. It works nicely for us! Also, it helps that he doesn't mind some stuff being out when it looks nice and I don't mind some stuff being put away when it's not that hard to just open a drawer/door and locate it!

I LOVE these “organising space x all four bug ways”. They’re SO inspiring! Edit: If I hadn’t met my husband when I did, 13 years ago, we would never have made it to our first date. He wasn’t much of a looker when we met but he’s the most gorgeous life partner anyone could wish for and I’m so so so lucky to have him. Would probably have swiped right (or rather, left) past him and never had the chance to meet this wonderful person, now the father of my two daughters and my big love. I’m so incredibly glad Tinder wasn’t a thing when I was 20.

I am somewhere between a butterfly and bee, it depends on the category of item. If its something I like, like art supplies, then I sort it all really detailed. Stuff I don't like, like pantry items, get shoved in broad category bins. Was finally diagnosed with adhd this year after a few years of a discovery journey and realising that I'm not *messy* its just that my brain works slightly differently. I can't put things in drawers and cupboards because then they are just *gone*. Starting to reorganise my stuff in bins and clear containers has really helped.

I'm a bee/cricket depending on what is being organized. My husband is the opposite, he wants to just toss things in quickly. He can't be bothered with lids and I only like lids for the benefit of keeping dust out. Neither of us likes unstacking containers to get to the lower one and then restacking them. Clear drawers is what we used to organize in the bathroom and that seems to be working. I get my closed containers and he gets the simplicity of a large drawer for his things but he will also use the smaller category drawers that I set up for the subcategories within first aid and such because they're simple and quick to get in and out of and it's not the everyday stuff. Now if I could just get something like a library card catalog but with tons of various size drawers to organize my craft/sewing things into I'd be delighted. "Shopping" for a boy 😂 I hadn't thought of it that way before but you're so right!

Thank you very much Cassandra. I am a .bee who lives with butterflies. I remember numerous times where my husband and I went into my sons room to help him organize and clean. My husband was so shocked with the things he was finding in there. I told him you could find a snake and I wouldn't be surprised. Voila! I discovered you. I've read your books, I'm a big fan of your HGTV show. I try to preach your message to any family member who will listen. Why? Because my adult son's room is 80% better than what it used to be since I figured out he is a butterfly. I actually caught him rolling up his laundered socks and basketball shooting it into the bins instead of leaving it on the bed. Which of course would end up on the floor. I'll take the 80%. I'm not asking for perfection anymore. I am learning to embrace good enough. My new motto is "Progress, not perfection." I'm still fighting with decluttering because I am a upcycle queen. You know I could always use that for something else. So don't get rid of it just yet.❤

I love that you suggested removing the closet doors for butterflies! I’m a butterfly with some bee tendencies, and there’s nothing in a home I hate more than those sliding closet doors that only let you see half the closet at once. I removed all of those doors and replaced them with beautiful curtains - fabric shower curtains are the perfect size - so even though the curtains stay open most of the time, they aren’t taking up any space and it takes 2 seconds to close them for company or if I’m feeling fancy.

I realized a year ago that I am a Bee, and that has really helped inform me about *why* I organize things the way I do, and why something that I thought would be great turns out to be horrible. I like detailed organization because when I decide I need/want to use something, I want to immediately put my hands on it. I don't want to spend time digging through a bin looking for something (which I often can't find, even if I know it's there, because there's too much to see). I also hate lids with a fiery hot passion. I zone items in my office based on how frequently it's used, lots of open shelves, clear drawers with dividers (all labeled) and now I'm good to go. The biggest challenge for me has been figuring out where to store "file-like" things that I may want to use again, but won't necessarily remember if I put them in a filing cabinet (like handouts from a class). Binders on shelves next to reference books on the same topic has made a big difference in getting paper off my desk. As for the dating thing: I met my husband nearly 30 years ago by placing a (lengthy) personal ad. I did not ask for photos (they couldn't see what I looked like from the ad). I wanted to see how they communicated who they were in words. I figured most people aren't hideous, so I wasn't concerned about that (I'm also far more interested in whether or not they're funny and smart, which is what leads to someone being attractive to me beyond the superficial)

I saw that you can put them in a folder and have it standing up, like in a narrow rectangular bin, or a wall file system. Catt found a wire coated plate holder and bent each rung upward. She shared it in a video. You can have it sitting on a table or desk, or hang it on the wall. She got the plate holder from the dollar store. I don't know if that would help you.

So not only do you have to pay for the dating site, you also have to pay for one of those apps that does background checks. I met one guy in five years, that lived in my town and was normal, nice, and that I was willing to date. We got to be friends first, and just when it was starting to become something amazing, his job transferred him 3000 miles away. At the time I had a child that was in high school and moving her away from her dad, older sisters, grandparents, and friends would have been devastating! I've now given up. Not worth it...

I love the categories you've given each organizing style. It's been interesting watching my wife, a former litigation paralegal, embrace her true self. In her job, everything was categorized, labeled, boxed, and stored in a room designated for trial prep. Everything had a special place, yet everything was "hidden". Although my wife can't stand disarray, her true nature is that of the BEE. A photographer, she relies on visual cues for inspiration. Just as you said, she tends to hang on to more than she should; her creativity finds a purpoe for nearly everything! Recently she commented that since retiring from litigation, she wasn't nearly as disciplined in her organization routine. She thought she was being lazy. After watching your video, she realized that the more she adapted and embraced "the bee", the more creative she became. Not lazy, but free. She subscribed!

Thank You So very much for this!! I discovered that I am a true Cricket! After watching this video, I took a serious look at my organization system in my garage. I thought that I had organized things pretty well, but, always felt annoyed when looking at my shelves. What I discovered was that my bins...that were meticulously organized...in my old home had been housed behind the closed doors of storage closets. In my new home, I have open shelving. So the once "organized" bins now looked like overwhelming clutter as they were no longer hidden and allowed every item to be seen!! I didn't realize it, but, it was driving me crazy!!😂😂😂 I hit the link and headed to the container store. I also grabbed some solid, labeled bins from Bed, Bath and Beyond. Though I'm not done "re-organizing", the relief that this new system is providing is astounding!!! You have a Forever Fan!!! Thank You!

I think I'm a butterfly-ladybug hybrid. Maybe I'm still just overwhelmed with clutter and would be a butterfly if I had everything under control. I don't want to see *anything* out (which is 100% not possible in my house right now). But my ideal is to open up cabinets and closets and have it beautifully visual inside. I've decluttered so much, but I still feel drowning in things (with four little kids that leave things everywhere!) Oh, and online dating is bananas. I understand why there's a draw to it (so much easier and less risky than meeting someone in real life, especially as we're more and more used to social media and less used to in person connection) but I don't think it's actually best for "humanity" on a grand scale. 😂 I know plenty of people who've met their spouse online, and I'm probably just being old and crotchety, but that's what I think about it!

The displays make sense to me and I am happy every time I see them… I even have some dishes and tins hanging on the kitchen walls. Why would I possibly store those items behind doors when I enjoy seeing and using them daily? ❤Love from Madam Butterfly 🦋

I consider myself a cricket, but I also found myself wondering how are they going to find anything without having to unstack and open all of those grey bins? I liked the bee organizational system better in this video. Everything was labeled and easily accessible. Having it be in the closet behind a closed door is plenty hidden for me, I wouldn't need to hide it again. Also, there's no way my butterfly family would ever put anything away correctly with those unlabeled opaque bins.

I just want to say THANK YOU. You and Hot Mess House helped my mom understand that there truly are different organization styles. She's a cricket and I'm a butterbug (butterfly/ladybug took the bug quiz twice and got butterfly the first time and ladybug the second time) she'd come over and suggest that I start putting x here or y there or wouldn't it be nice if... . She now understands that while I'm certainly capable of taking an item going to the closet, opening a lidded container, putting the item in the container etc. etc. That it's not something I'm going to do and my not doing that isn't a decision that I actively make or me being lazy. I know this has prevented a lot of frustration and even some anger on my part and I think on my mom's part too. So, THANK YOU!!!

When I heard you describe a ladybug (videos ago), I thought: “yup, that’s me.” My apartment is neat, organized, not cluttered, clean (I handle tasks like dishes and clearing surfaces immediately). But do NOT open my closets and drawers. Egads! My kitchen cabinets and drawers are organized, but the rest of the “hidden” areas? Yeah, nope. You inspired me! I just cleaned out and reorganized my cleaning supply/linen/tools/bath-stuff closet. Took an hour, working leisurely, but now I have two free shelves. Cool! You know one reason to declutter is so that you don’t have to buy a thing you already have? Turns out I already had a dust bin and brush, the exact same one I picked up from Target YESTERDAY. 🤨

Loved this, Cass. Very fun to watch. I've enjoyed organizing since I was a child. For me, things had to have and be in their own place. Well, except those teen years.😩 My Mom never complained about my messy room though, stating instead how nice the ceiling looked. I'd laugh and show her my drawers and closet were still tidy to make her feel she hadn't lost me completely. It depends on what the room's purpose is, or who is using it, how I organize it. I even organize my own rooms differently by use. My art studio has almost everything visible, PVC pipe turntables for colored pencil sets, acrylic drawers for pens and other small supplies, baskets for storing art papers and books, divided marker trays for my art markers, etc. You get the idea. Whereas my sewing craft room, other than the walk-in closet which has folded or tubed fabric on display, most everything is in covered, well labeled containers. The woodwork shop which is shared with hubby, has a combination of hidden and in view storage. *As for shopping for boys? In my day, we did that at the Disco.*

Without labels your stuff is almost guaranteed to end up in the wrong bin and defeat the purpose. I would suggest using smaller labels so they aren't as overwhelming. Since the bins are frosted you might even be able to put the labels on the inside in a mirror image so that they are still visible from the outside, but softened by the frosted container! Or maybe using a picture instead of words would be less stressful?

But our daughter met her fiance on an app. He lied about his height because he's short, shorter than her by about 3 inches. At first she was uncomfortable but she said that by the end of the first date she loved his personality so much that she had to meet him again. Fun fact. They'd met a year before at a party but neither remembered it! The friend who introduced them reminded them. 😄

My closet would be immaculately color and length coordinated. I always felt more anxiety “half cleaning” because I didn’t actually feel like it was clean. I have been trying to implement both Dawn from minimal mom and Kelli from but first, coffees concept of little spurts going a long way. Now, I can visually see a system that would work for me with clutterbug.

My little flower tip is orchids. I purchased a few from Walmart on clearance 2 years ago. I assumed they would be dead within the month if not the week. I'm not a plant person. Once a week I fill up their pots with water and let them kind of swim in that for 5 minutes ..or 5 hours.. whenever I remember to dump the water out. Then them back near a window. It doesn't have to be even a sunny window. They look great and bloom often and for a loooong time. I always get compliments from people who come over about my beautiful flowers. And how on earth do I have such gorgeous orchids? I just googled it and have this little weekly routine and they're doing great. I haven't even taken them out of their pots from Walmart. The roots are crazy overtaking the pots inside. But I'm just leaving well enough alone. Anyway, I always have fresh flowers (from at least one of my 4 plants) for a one time investment of $6 each 😁

I think it’s important for people to realize that they may actually be one of these categories, but due to a busy life they need to adjust to another category just to keep things together! As a young person with no children I was Type A personally with everything super organized (a place for everything and everything in its place) but as I became a mother to 4 busy kids and starting working from home, I struggled. But finally realized I needed to adjust who I used to be, to fit the life I was living. It has been life changing. And while my house is organized, it’s not quite as detailed as I would prefer, but if I want to keep my sanity, good enough has to be good enough for now 😉

This helped me to understand how I organize. I always struggled and spent so long researching late at night for weeks to find the perfect way I wanted and it did not always work. Meal planning did not work for me but freezer meals do. Trying isn't a bad thing until you know but takes so much time like under sink storage that works for me is 2 cleaning caddies for bath and kitchen clean ups organized be the sections. I realized I am a bee. My significant other took the quiz and he is a butterfly. We can better organize our house now because of this video! I grew up in a home with a cricket and it got me discouraged because it wasn't my way of doing things and there was no room for anything different there with lots of stuff behind doors or curtains with very little actual organize but a lot of small categories that take too much time for me to rummage through to time one thing then have to fix everything right then to be right again. Our house was always messy with little projects from the cricket and overflowing boxes from my ladybug dad. This has given me perspective and going to greatly help my organizational endeavor with my new whiteboards that are keeping me on tack!

BUT the parts of my home that stay organized over time are the parts where the organization is visible: the pot rack from which the pots hang in the kitchen, the hooks for potholders, the open spice rack, the china closet with glass doors, the hooks on a wall for coats. The hidden organization (files for papers, shelves behind cabinet doors for pantry staples, etc) result in piles of papers everywhere and pantry staples stacked on the kitchen counter-both of which I loathe!

My kid butterfly ways were left behind *_very_* early on because my mom tried to teach me to be a bee like she is starting all the way back when I was in grade school. She never imagined I would end up as a cricket, and I think she still secretly resents it, unamused by the fact that, despite her wanting it so bad and her trying so hard to make it happen, I didn't turn out to be just like her, and now she doesn't like dealing with it. I've been forced to enforce it whenever my parents visit me, because when I didn't, I ended up tripping over things in the middle of the night (which woke them both up - not sure what possessed my mom to think that leaving a mop and bucket in the middle of the room overnight was a good idea) and having meltdowns from the total visual overwhelm.

I still LOVE me some baskets but they are DECORATIVE and not actually used to store my crap. They are pretty and used in my living room entertainment stand BUT Most are EMPTY. My husband doesnt get it but i hate to dust so those baskets help me out in i dont have to dust very often. You do not realize how much you have helped me Cass. Thank you

I've taken your quiz and I got Cricket. However, for a linen closet I like the Bee style. To me, it's hidden because it's behind a door, but once you open it, I want to be able to see everything. So does that make me a Cricket or a Bee?

YES!!! This is always what gets me confused too! I want visual simplicity, I want all my stuff tucked away in drawers and cupboards, but once I open those spaces I want to immediately see what I have and im detailed!

And when Cass says (paraphrasing) - bees want their everyday items out where they can see them - that makes me think of having all my items on open shelving etc which I couldn't stand!

My Mom is a mix of cricket and ladybug (stronger on the cricket side), while I am a mix of bee and butterfly- now it’s no wonder why she never understood my room when I was little! Now I’m slowly, slowly figuring out how to be a butterbee in my own place.

I so appreciate all of your videos. Thank you for all the work you do for strangers like me! Can you come stay with me for a week or two. I’m a bit of a hoarder. Every area of my house, the “garage”, and even the shed, is filled with my stuff that I just can’t seem to let go. My father passed away a little over a year ago and I inherited his things as well that I just haven’t had the heart to go through. I was finally getting to a place in my life that I was able to start decluttering and I fell at work, dislocating and breaking my ankle in three places. I’ve been laid up for a month now and I feel like I’m buried in rubble. I know it’s an issue for my husband. It’s draining for him. He’s not generally a disorganized person. His truck is the only place he has that isn’t cluttered by my stuff. I get anxious and upset when he tries to clean and I am not able to supervise. Are there any specific videos besides this one that would be helpful to watch (besides all of them lol) so I can dig us out of this mess. Thank you 💜

So I literally have struggled with clutter my whole life, and I also struggled with figuring out my "bug" because I feel like I'm a little bit of all of them in some way or another.....until this video! I think I can now confidently say without a doubt after your explanation here, I'm a bee! I think when I would take the "quiz" I was too focused on how I WANTED my space to look, or how I want my end results to be, rather than answer it with how I actually am right NOW!! Thank you for another amazing, helpful, eye opening video! You're the best!! Side note, online dating. NO THANK YOU!! I've been married now for almost 21 years and there is no way with the way the world is I would like this method! Technology can be such a blessing yet a curse at the same time for so many different reasons. Everyone is too vested in their cell phones, "socials", posting random stuff, etc., I feel like a lot is being missed in life, when things were "simpler"! YUP, I guess I'm OLD!! A radio station here does something called "2nd Date Update", and it's exactly how it sounds. Couple goes on a date, feels and thinks it went well, wants another and now the other person is "ghosting" them. Why not just be open and honest?! "It was fun but not that fun", "I didn't feel a connection", WHATEVER the case may be, just tell them!! But, I guess I have a pretty simple mind!!

She is so on point! I am a perfect 🐝! Now, I just have to figure out my husband’s style because he will not likely follow my style. I love categories and I am very visual. I believe my husband is a ladybug. Closets and drawers are a fool around him, but the outside looks like a showroom.

I want hidden but have small amounts of each category and a lot of categories. I I love labels. drawers, categories and throw stuff in. I guess I am a mixture of all 4. Knowing these types, sure makes organizing neater and cheaper. Thank You.
