when your space is a mess, it's easy to give up before even starting. while Feng Shui is not about tidying up, it is about creating a space and environment that supports you and makes you feel happy and positive. here is a simple exercise that makes it easy to tidy just about any kind of cluttery space in record time.

This is actually a really ADHD-friendly way to organize! It's essentially creating designated "dump drawers" which can be revisited and edited at a later date. This way, you can quickly tidy a space and give yourself that mental calm even if you have a lot of stuff. Brilliant.

See, I was waiting for him to say that the drawers were an intermediate step -- putting all the X here, the Y there, the Z over there, so that you were then in a good position to take out just the X and figure out how to sort it. Like, put the three or four most common utensils out where you'll actually use them, organize the silverware with one of those plastic silverware sorters, sort the food items into three or four categories and put them in separate locations. Like the top thread in this comments section, I find those drawers a nightmare! You'd wind up wasting a ton of time every time you had to find anything. And putting dishes -- one of the heaviest and most used categories -- in the *bottom* drawer means you're gonna spend more time bending or squatting, lifting heavy objects, twice per meal (use then put away after washing), and likely hurt your back. Never put high-use items in the bottom section! Much as I love this guy's work, this was a total miss for me. (Note: I'm over 90% certain I have ADHD, and you're right that this would be useful -- as a way of breaking the task into multiple steps, not as the "now we've got a functional kitchen!" he seems to think it is 😅)

Though I agree with everything in this thread, this video remains much more accessible and realistic than other similar videos where it's like "hey let's chuck 90% of your stuff out. Isn't that so clean?" Realistically this would be part 1: clear your surface and separate into categories/storage Step 2: get rid of stuff. would be identify any items that are not needed, serve a single/rare use, and give away. Keep to only 1 or 2 useful items per usage category (i.e. main chef knife, smaller knife) and store items rarely used that you insist on keeping elsewhere. Step 3: find separators and storage items that permit you to organize least used in am accessible way while making most used pop up at the top

Exactly, you really only require about 25 - 30 spatulas. Also. Are you talking about spatulas or egg turners. People always call egg turners spatulas. My mother thought it best to inform me that those things that you use to flip eggs or pancakes or grilled cheese… those are egg turners. The spatula is the thing with a handle and either a long metal extension on it or those things with a handle and a plastic extension that are usually used scrape the sides of bowls or to last remnants of the mayonnaise out of the jar or the mashed potatoes off the side of bowl when done with the beaters. Now you know!! LoL PS.. you do need at least 10 of each.

I love this idea too. I always feel overwhelmed to decide what to get rid of, especially things that are not obviously trash, so I procrastinate in cleaning to avoid the decision. This is like "permission" to decide later. Of course, I know, the decision will have to be made, but at least the immediate trash can be dealt with because the cleaning starts.

Check the clutterbug organizing styles. You are obviously a ladybug, store things out of sight in large categories. Decluttering until you are left with just the essential stuff that fits in your container makes this organizing style functional. I am a bee, store things visually in small detailed functional categories. I would have to rearrange the kitchen to make it peaceful and functional to me. Your client seem to be a butterfly, large categories stored visually. With visual people, what is outside the covers and looks like clutter is what is actually essential. The stuff in drawers is the actual clutter. Your client might use her cabinets better if the doors were off. Love your videos.

Love the clear space, but the drawers would give me anxiety like that! I guess the frustration of finding things piled in the drawers would encourage decluttering though, so will be a win over time. If you have small spaces you NEED to be more intentional about what you put in it, definitely have items which multifunction rather than all the single use gadgets.

Definitely agree with this. The freed up counter space is handy and looks better, however digging through deep drawers filled to the brim with no-longer-subcategorized items would NOT increase efficiency like he said, at least for me. Knowing that this one drawer is where I keep all of my foodstuffs doesn't help me quickly locate my one small paprika shaker amidst all the other jars and boxes. Now instead of locating my storage space for my spices and quickly determining which is the one I'm looking for out of maybe max 10 containers, I will have to upend this whole huge drawer every time. If he had sectioned out the drawer spaces or something to keep those original subcategories of items clustered together but just off the counter and out of sight, then maybe I'd like it more. But taking all of those purposefully grouped sections of things off the counters and shoving them all into like 5 large drawers is the opposite of helpful to me.

@@michellemah2674 it works if you're a clutter slob like me. For me, It has to be JUST AS EASY to PUT it AWAY as it is to leave it out. Which means no sub categories or very few sub categories. If I have to organize it just to put it away, I will leave it out until I have the "time to do it RIGHT." Then the clutter builds because I'm busy. The Home Edit type organizing systems do not work for people like me. We would have all our stuff piled in front of all those pretty labeled containers rather than in them.. The only problem here is that the drawers are too full. If you pare down the extra crap and triplicates, the fantasy stuff, it works. Keep only what is necessary. What you cannot cook without. 2 pancake/Egg turners, 2 wooden spoons, a pasta stirrer, 1 Large pan, 1 medium pan, 1 sauce pan, a large soup pot, a pasta pot, & the lids. A chopping blade, a paring blade, a slicing blade, a carving blade. Extra pantry stuff goes into a tote. No more than 2 of the same item in the pantry. The rest stored out of the kitchen.

I made a double layer tray system for my cutlery draw. The bottom layer is for your taller items that don't get used as often and then sitting on top of that is another tray which goes the full width but not the full depth that you can slide it to get the things underneath or lift out. The top layer holds all my every day cutlery and knives. For those bigger drawers they definitely could do a similar idea but have the top layer slide side to side rather than front to back. Could be quite shallow and take things like spices in the food draw or the lids in the pot draw.

These are excellent de-cluttering tips in general. I recently used a similar approach in my closet. I removed EVERYTHING (so I had to plan for a large space to put it all and sort through it), dusted and vacuumed the whole closet, and then ONLY put back the things that actually fit and I wanted to wear. I also had a trash bag for clothes with holes or elastic that disintegrated. Then another bag(s) for donations of things that didn't fit anymore. Seasonal clothing (or items that you rarely use) can go into storage bins or another location/closet. But trying to organize a cluttered area without taking everything out is almost impossible. Thanks for the great video!

I'm a Feng Shui consultant. Feng Shui isn't organizing but energy flow. Energy flows better when things are organized. It is easier to organize if there are only things people use, like and are not broken AND there is a place for all of them. You ADHD may or may not have to do with your preference to see things. Your organizing style does. Lady bug mentions 4 different organizing styles in her channel Lady Bug. But basically 2 are for people who don't want to go to the trouble of putting things in place when they finish using them. But Don't mind spending some time looking for them when they need them. The other two are the opposite: They want to find things fast And Don't mind taking the time to put them away.

I have utensils hanging above the stove, and some other things above the sink. Under the bed are lots of things in bins. Under the couch (a futon) same. I'm somewhat organized but if I can't see it, I forget it exists. So I buy cleaners, coffee etc that I already have. Lol

This looks like it would work very well for some people. For myself, it's much more functional for me to organize things by *utility.* Which also helps me to see which things are not really needed. So, for example, the baking things go together. The breakfast things go together. The tea and coffee things go together. I have a bin of spices next to a bin of lentils and beans next to a bin of grains. I have ADHD and it's what works for me. Finally, I put a few high-use items (plates, cups, spoons) at my child's height to help support skill-building.

When I was younger, I was such a neat freak and cleaned all the time. As I got older (job, responsibilities, stress) the "clutter" began. Clutter and hoarding are truly a reflection of one's mental state.

About the knives... Unless they have sheaths, storing them in a drawer could be risky; at some point, you might forget to be careful and cut yourself when looking for other things. I definitely understand not wanting to see knives all the time. But I think there are stackable drawers/shelves that could hold utensils in those big drawers. That way, you can keep their knives all together and reduce the risk of cutting yourself when accessing utensils.

"If the tea box doesn't fit, you either have too much tea or not enough box." I seriously need that on a t-shirt. And honestly, I have a 22 gallon Rubbermaid tote full of tea. I have enough box, but I still have too much tea. And don't get me started on the coffee...

Thank you so much for doing this video!!! The timing this video appeared on my feed was like magic. I was brought up in a household with clutter but somehow no one ever saw it as clutter so none of us knew how to deal with it. I tried the Konmari method, but whenever I took out all my things, I’d get stuck putting them back, because I just didn’t know how to organize them, as silly as it sounds… and some of my stuff has been strewn across the floor for years. I’ll give it a try again with the two magic bags, and stuffing them back (for now) by category and shape! Thank you so much for all that you do!!!

Im in America and this is about what our kitchen looks like, except with walnut colored cabinetry. I had to reduce our gadgets and tools and get a wire bakers rack. I placed it in our dining room. It's still chaotic, but it functions and reduces kitchen chaos. I reduced the specialty items we use, and we eat more simply now. We go get more specialty items instead of worrying about making them. No fondou or deep fryers for us.

Excellent method to lessen anxiety & speed the process along. I'm going to call it the "Put Aside Bag/Box" which I think will help my friend who's going through what I did when moving & cleaning out my mother's stuff. I basically did that, but not as efficiently. Now, all the stuff that I'm still not 100% sure about occupies the backs of drawers & such which keeps them out of the way. When/if I need that space, Then I can take the time to make decisions about it.

Here is a simple decluttering trick: put everything in another room. Whenever you need something, you take it out of the room and put it away in the kitchen. After a month or two, get rid of everything that you haven’t taken out of the other room.

Beautiful result. Unfortunately, knowing myself, once I emptied everything onto the floor, I'd get a wave of fatigue, fall asleep and wake up to a bigger mess. It's probably not so effective, but I think I'd have to break it into smaller sections to purge and reorganize.
