Visual and detailed but those open-cabinets gave me heart palpitations🥶 Cass I'm on my way to your house to fold those kitchen towels for you🤣🤣

[@rachellelarge3410]

Yes!! The PURSE Test! I'm 43 and every single item in my purse goes in its exact spot. It has lots of interior pockets. I can reach blindly into my purse and get right to an item. What blew my mind was that my grandma, who lives an hour away, also bought the same purse and independently my Mom asked where I found it so she could buy one! Three generations all excited by the same detail in our purses!!

[@tracy_in_primary]

Well that cleared everything up. I am officially a confused organiser. Sometimes detailed, sometimes not. Sometimes hidden, sometimes not. I think what I mostly am is pragmatic and efficient. The tea towels won't fit in the drawer if I don't fold them, and it's very satisfying to see them all neat and tidy. I don't care about the undies....no one else sees them. Not even I see them! I pull them out of the drawer in the dark of the early morning, so why would I bother folding them?

[@katiesoderling3596]

This is me! And it depends on the moment since I have kids. Sometimes things get left out and messy when I’m rushed. Before kids I was definitely more detailed and tidy. Now I can’t always keep my home the way I like but I try.

[@veronikam3836]

I'm pretty much 50-50. It's so hard for me to find out my organizing style. I'm a ladybug, but I have my doubts about it sometimes, as I am quite visual in some instances. For example, I always make piles on my desk, but I crave visual simplicity. I prefer hooks. My handbag is a disaster, but I do take the time to fold my underwear and dish towels....I am some kind of weird bug somewhere in between, lol.

[@cynthiaajmurray1827]

Oh, yes! I'm absolutely a 50-50 also, so I found this video fun, but wasn't able to decide what my organizing style is either. This dichotomy has always seemed to hinder me, I wish there were some information on that topic. But, just love Cass's videos and ideas, she's fun and realistic!

[@rachelernest8811]

I realized I am a cricket for most items but a bee for consumables (food, paper products, makeup, etc). I would make a big list and see if you have a pattern too. Maybe it has to do with the size or type (textile, paper, etc) of item?

[@4EverMamma]

I literally just posted a similar comment. I’m smack dab in the middle 😭😭

[@HereIAm247]

@@cynthiaajmurray1827 I am also a bit all over the place. I crave a decent amount of simplicity, but I do like some things on display; I get super uncomfortable if it looks too empty. What I have found is, instead of limiting myself to one style, I use the one that accomplish what I want in specific areas. :) For example my clutter piles, I use the ladybug strategy of 'shove and hide', but only until I can deal with it. Once dealt with, I prefer a neat, semi hidden systems, that still have easy access if I need something. And I want it to look neat and tidy inside the drawer. For everyday beauty products, I put most of them in a drawer with super easy access, but leave out one or two. I was sure I was a cricket, but I think I am actually leaning slightly more towards bee. Because it would bother me a lot more to not fold the towels/undies/reciets, and to not screw the lid on properly. And though I HATE open cabinets and cluttered surfaces, I think I would go more crazy in a super empty environment, than a slightly cluttered environment. So maybe to figure out yours, find out which one would bother you most to not do? :)

[@wendyduncan9084]

I think we are different things for different areas of life and for different seasons. Plus adapting to accommodate all the different people while raising children. It’s more spaghetti than neatly checked boxes in my life. Now it’s just my husband and I and it’s far easier. We are just complete opposites. Lol💚

[@jaclyngannon7436]

I'm definitely non-detailed (ADHD, ENFP, Ravenclaw butterfly here!) but what I found most interesting in this video was recognizing the handful of areas in which I identified more with the detailed option. And THEN realizing that for the most part, I adopted the detailed habits to make my detailed husband happy. For instance, I couldn't care less about having my underwear folded - but I always told his, exactly the way he likes it done. (And you can always tell when it was his turn doing the laundry, because suddenly my underwear drawer looks organized!)

[@sibyllolson6747]

Same here! I could care less if my underwear are folded but I will fold my husbands since he likes them folded.

[@laurahudson8210]

I'm a Ravenclaw too. Also a butterfly with ladybug leanings. I have no idea about the Myers Briggs because I've never done it.

[@sleepingroses761]

Definitely. All the times I fit better with a detailed approach, it was due to a habit my more tidy parents taught me.

[@Penelope222]

I could have written this word for word! I’ve implemented more systems than I thought to find a balance. I can take the time to be detailed on things that make me happy or that make my husband happy. My underwear drawer has boxes to partition types of underwear so I don’t have to fold but it contains to make life easier, but his are folded because that makes him happy. The pantry has containers for broad categories that I just throw in, but the school snacks container is detailed because that’s how my daughter likes it. Our main sticking point in this house is visual vs hidden. I want everything behind doors. My husband and kids do not.

[@lyndacolvin642]

I would agree my detailed habits are the ones that were taught to me not ones that I come by naturally but they are such habits that I can't not do them. My mom was a detailed person and I can hear her remind me to not forget to wipe the ketchup bottle before putting it away.

[@lgraps]

Such a fun video! I laughed at myself during the detailed/non-detailed part because I literally couldn't understand why anyone wouldn't do the detailed things. Of course I roll down the cereal bag! Of course I put the bread bag clip back on! Of course I have all my computer files in folders! Who wouldn't? LOL.

[@pstogs516]

Me! That’s who wouldn’t. Lol!! I don’t have time for that!!

[@Diniecita]

Same. How would you EVER find anything? I even detailed my Pinterest boards.

[@SnowySpiritRuby]

Same - leaving the bread bag unsealed makes the bread dry out, so all it does is waste food, because one little bump and the nice "twist and tuck" comes undone, and poof! your bread's dried out; leaving the cereal unsealed/unrolled makes it go stale (and can make for a big mess the next time you open it, since it lets it get out of the bag and be between the bag and the box), so wasted food, again; same with the ketchup and toothpaste - it wastes it if you aren't meticulous with how you squeeze it and put the cap back on. Not cleaning off the threads of peanut butter/jelly/applesauce/etc. jars if stuff gets in them makes it next to impossible to open them the next time. Tossing cords makes them get tangled and they become a giant mess, not to mention just tossing stuff in makes things take up far more space. And I actually like to be able to enjoy my desktop background, thank you very much, so I, too, can't imagine why anyone wouldn't organize all their files into folders - I have zero unread emails in my inbox.

[@nancytaylor7525]

Me! I am trying. I do put the toothpaste lid on every time. I am about 50/50 on this list. What does that say about me? That I do care 50% of the time?!?

[@melindaworkman6039]

Has anyone else ever put their cereals in ziplock freezer bags then back in the box to keep them fresher? I do that with freezer foods too. An extra layer of protection lol

[@MissTiffanyK1]

I've come to realize my husband and I both tend toward "bee" (detailed and visual). It's been great to see organizational systems that work for bees, but the biggest transformations in our home have come from embracing the opposite (ladybug). Less complicated, macro systems have been easier for us to maintain, and as visual people, I think we are greatly affected by our surroundings, so putting more things away means that what's left gets the attention it deserves. Than you, Cas!

[@antiantipoda]

Cords: I actually wrote on the vacuum "Do not wrap!" because my cleaning professional always wasted her time wrapping and I had to waste my time unwrapping. That fixed it.

[@SnowySpiritRuby]

That's why I love the vacuums where the top cord hook swivels (almost all the ones I've personally ever used, at least the upright vacuums, have been like that, even my parents' ancient Kirby) - unwrapping the cord takes about 2 seconds: rotate the top hook down, pull the cord off of it, and BOOM! cord all unwrapped. I, too, would hate having to unwrap the cord every time I needed to use a vacuum otherwise, because some of those cords are _really_ long. And the ones with retractable cords are just awesome - when I first moved into my house, the landlord had left a couple vacuums there for me to use, and the cord on one of them was retractable, but I had to really hunt and search for how on earth to wrap the cord the first time I used it because he left it with the cord just hanging around the handle, so there was no clear indication that it was retractable; as I was trying to figure it out how to wrap it, I eventually discovered that if I pressed a certain lever, the entire cord retracted in less than 5 seconds, but it won't retract unless that lever is pressed, so I never have to fight with it when I'm actually using it - on this particular one, if you pull the cord out, it stays pulled out to the length you pulled it, but you can also retract it from any length (i.e. you don't have to pull it all the way out in order to retract it).

[@antiantipoda]

@@SnowySpiritRuby I don't think I have ever seen a vacuum like that. I am in Brazil and things are a little different here. I wanted to buy a model that has a button to automatically wrap the cord inside the vacuum, but I got one online where there are little wings in the back where you are supposed to wrap and unwrap manually. They are very close together and are annoying.

[@mirandalewis7619]

Naturally non-detailed here, but I get overwhelmed because my brain wants so badly to be detailed. I feel better when I’m detailed, but it takes conscious effort.

[@mrslvw]

Part of that may be socialization that "highly detailed" is organizing. Some might be mixed bag that just bc you do something doesn't mean that's your preference. You can try to optimize for those things by setting your space up to make that easy. Macro organizing with baskets/containers can also help ease visual clutter. Decluttering overall though will help the most to avoid overwhelm.

[@emilyfranklin4475]

I thought a friend of mine was a butterfly because of the state of her place. Turns out she's a cricket, but her ADHD prevents her from being as detailed as she wants to be.

[@Amoechick]

@@emilyfranklin4475 This; this is me. And it’s exhausting, honestly. There ends up being a balance between “I need to be externally detailed and organized because I am not that on the inside” and “I need to embrace good enough because clearly I literally cannot do what I want to be doing.”

Lol. I love your channel so much and learn a lot from you. Thanks for making it fun. Oh I’m an ENFJ.

[@allisonknights732]

So this video was a breakthrough for me....I have always said I'm ladybug...I think I don't want to see the clutter. BUT I finally realized I'm naturally a butterfly and by trying to hide the clutter I just make it worse (and it only happens when I do the shovel hiding thing when people come over) so I've actually been working against myself trying to be the ladybug I'm not. I need to embrace the visual and make systems that work for me. It's like ...I see the light now! Only took 5 years. 🤣 Great video, thank you Cas... it definitely clicked with me!

[@beccismith4454]

Have fun being a butterfly! I’m a butterfly as well, and it’s really nice to accept that it’s OK to have a lot of things out. The kitchen is also very unusual at the moment I suppose… For example I don’t have a silverware drawer. I have a silverware and glass jars or tall cups in a cute crate that’s on its side making a shelf… along with my salad oil and vinegar and salt and pepper. Things I use there regularly. Easy to get out and easy to put away.

[@sweetdreamer2661]

Yep, I used to do the same when my children were little. If I would've discovered clutterbug then, it's how I would've labeled myself.

[@Alice_SB]

¡Ayyyy, no! ¡Por Dios! Yo detesto que las cosas estén ahí a la intemperie pululando a sus anchas. Las cosas expuestas solo cogen polvo y generan desorden visual. No es lo mismo limpiar el mesón de la cocina con cuatro cosas encima que estar limpiando 20 cosas y el mesón. Por eso me gusta todo guardado y clasificado. Así a ojo cerrado lo encuentras rapidito y limpio. Yo soy más bien una mariquita tirando a cigarra. Soy súper detallista y me gusta todo guardado en su sitio. Lo malo es que soy vaga para ordenar y tirar trastos. Tengo mucho de todo, ahí está el problema. Pero una vez que los clasifico y les doy un lugar duermen ahí el sueño de los justos.

[@sandystiles5856]

I am definitely a detailed person. But before I started getting organized, I had the messy purse and my car was never cleaned out. I would have to clean out the garbage and junk before we went on trips. Once I realized how much better I feel getting in a clean car, I never leave anything in my car. Thanks for another great video.

Oh I love this video! I think I've been a little confused as to whether I'm a Ladybug or a Cricket. I know I like stuff tucked away, but I was a little unsure of how to gauge my level of detail. But this cleared it up! I roll all my cords, fold my towels, have three emails (work, bills, and personal) each with a million folders, and I always put a clip on my cereal. I'm DEFINITELY a Cricket! Great to know!!

[@annav5258]

Same here, I’ve been going back and forth on the scale from cricket to ladybug. This video really cleared it up! I’m a cricket for sure. But also I had an a-ha moment. I have been acting like a ladybug lately, meaning stuffing things in big baskets with broader categories, because I have too much stuff compared to my space! Some serious decluttering to do, still… Emptying out my childhood home this summer didn’t help for sure 😬

As always, I come out somewhere in between on a test and I loathe things that say, "On a scale of 1 to whatever..." but I'm an extremely detail-oriented person whose hidden spaces tend to be incredibly neat, while every visible flat surface is a legit space to cover with random small items or stacks of paper and books. I was mostly detailed and a real mix of hidden and visible in answering the questions in this video. Too much stuff out is visual chaos and causes sensory overload but anything hidden is lost in a black hole and I am unlikely to remember its very existence. I do love Lisa Woodruff of Organize 365 and the Sunday Basket, so (while I may be writing stuff down on small, random index cards, post-it notes, and the backs of envelopes) all those small notes to self have a great place to go, where they can re-emerge each week until I need them. A *lot* of my success has been due to finding some kind of middle ground (say, between hidden or visual), making small changes, and reinforcing them on a regular basis.

[@Clutterbug]

You sound like a true Bee to me. You need important things out and are visual, but this doesn't mean you want everything visual! Bees really struggle with decluttering, so excess stuff causes cluttered surfaces

[@robynsmall1646]

& what is this magic place where all the small notes go? Help!

[@D0LBz]

I've known for a while that I have slightly different styles for different things, but this set of questions helped me realize I'm visual when it comes to tasks that need to be done. Pretty much eveything else I want hidden, but mail/bill tasks, or my mini daily to do list, I leave out or pin to the fridge. I have forgotten to brush my teeth when I have my toothbrush hidden.

[@CLJlovesmal]

I think I need to move my eye drops...I keep forgetting to go in the cabinet for them...this video definitely showed me how much of a visual person I am.

[@lucycliburn2344]

I like your differentiation between tasks that need to be done = visual and everything else hidden. My to do list stays out on my table next to my chair. Everything else is in pretty bins on shelves on the other side of me. My husband is my polar opposite. So the door to his office stays closed.

[@mariee.5912]

I have a toothbrush out in both bathrooms and sometimes still forget because something else caught my attention, like the tissues are gone and I go get them from the basement. And then who knows where I will end up. Things have a place in my house, but everything has to be visual!

[@rebeccamay6420]

Funny thing about hiding the toothbrush vs leaving it out: I had always left it out, along with a few other things. I knew this was a problem, because I'd forget to brush my teeth because, as I've recently heard, if everything is visual, nothing is visual. I realized I open the medicine cabinet nearly every morning and night -- it's where I keep my contact lenses and supplies. I then set my toothbrush and toothpaste in a cup right next to the lens solution inside the medicine cabinet. It helps!

I literally have boxes with papers that need sorting including small bits of envelopes with random notes on them. - a hidden organiser... except for important papers I need to tackle. - a cricket, always have been since I was a small child (I know you say it's unusual but there are some out there 🤩). It has always been a struggle because I love my drawers, wardrobes/closets, cupboards etc. extremely well organised but that means that everything doesn't fit... I swear I was already like that at 3-4 years old. My Mum would tell me to tidy my room, I'd empty a drawer, put things back in a super neat and organised way... and everything else would be left lying around in my room 😁 It's still a struggle 🙄 Hence the need to declutter... because my home is a mess 😞 - an INFJ - a rebel with quite strong obliger mixed into it. But...

[@whatwilliwatch3405]

First off, that dress looks FANTASTIC on you. The color and style both suit you so well. I used to fold my underwear, because that's what I was taught growing up. Then I moved out, and one day I was doing it, and thinking to myself, "This would be so much less hassle and take so much less time if I didn't bother folding them." So I stopped. I have never had cause to regret that decision. As far as all the other things: I am definitely a non-detailed visual organizer. The only major exception is my emails. It gets mentally overwhelming for me to look at a jam-packed inbox. For stuff that rarely requires responses (i.e. advertising), I have filters set up to automatically shunt them to folders and skip the inbox altogether. For everything else, I use the Snooze function to send them to a day when I know I'll have the time to deal with them, and once dealt with, I delete them or tuck them away in a folder. (Oh, and unless it's documentation of something I KNOW is important, I do not let the "might need this someday" mentality take over - I delete anything I possibly can. I figure I can always ask someone for the information again, if needed.)

[@beccismith4454]

Thanks for your pragmatic thoughts about emails! My email folder is way up there! Although every once in a while I do spend an hour or so and delete certain categories or whatever. Also about the underwear folding. Am I just doing it because I’ve always done it and it’s the way you’re supposed to do it? I also put them in The drawer like Marie Kondo recommends, for the most part. Although I did have one time in the last few months I suppose when I actually just laid some undies into the drawer without folding them! And I didn’t die 😹

[@whatwilliwatch3405]

​@@beccismith4454 Hey, you're welcome! I hope maybe those email tips help you out. They build up pretty fast, don't they? Honestly, I don't even remember how I got signed up for half of them. (Though I'm always willing to unsubscribe if I stop using a particular store or service. That helps a bit, too.) As far as the underwear, I mean, there's no "right" or "wrong" way to do it (or any organization task, for that matter). It's just a question of what works for you as an individual. If someone wants to roll, or fold, or tuck them into one of those latticework drawer organizers, more power to 'em! It just isn't a good idea for me, personally, because I have ADHD. If I view a task as complicated and/or time-consuming, I'll struggle to get started. Before my "epiphany" that folding was not necessarily a required step, the clean laundry would pile up. So I'm better off just dumping my underwear directly into the drawer from the clean clothes basket than mustering up the mental energy to set aside time to fold each particular one. After all, the important thing is that they're clean! 😆

I got 2 curious kittens 4 years ago. No leaving things out from then on! Given the opportunity, they lick the dirty dishes, tear open the groceries and eat them, chew on anything plastic, and make a toy of anything. Dishes get done and groceries get put away immediately. Soft plastic things, like tubes or spatulas, get put away or get destroyed. And cords definitely go in drawers as one of them loves to chew on them. I'm amazed she hasn't been electrocuted yet! They definitely boosted my natural tendencies to hide things away!

It goes with my self observations on matching tasks with my energy rhythms--I need high energy for my writing work and no energy for my Dirty Thirty, so I write in the high energy morning hours & do brainless, essential chores in my afternoon slump.

Thank you for sharing your gifts and humor with us!

[@stowie7733]

I believe I have been non-detailed most of my life and it has been messy…really messy. But after being on the minimalist journey for a couple years now, I found that I am not only much more detailed, I’m also more comfortable in my own home…oh Lord, I am becoming my father (he was a tow-the-line cricket). I’m happy being a ladybug with a couple of cricket tendencies. And Cas, that dress is gorgeous on you!

[@lisaholderby3031]

You are looking exceptionally beautiful today in that dress Cas❤️ This was a great video with practical ways to help us see ourselves realistically! Thanks for all you do!

[@Opal_Sky]

🤣 I love the way your brain works!

[@myrahuber260]

OK here goes! I think the fact that the first thing I did when you mentioned the seven things was to reach for a pen and notepad says a lot! 🤣 I always wrap my charging cords when I'm done. Same with my vacuum cord but it has a button to wrap it automatically. My towels (kitchen, bathroom, face) are all folded even the old ones that I use to dry off the washer door. Email folders...so many folders! Plus separate emails for different categories...main, medical, etc. Computer desktop doesn't have folders but the icons are all sectioned off on the left side. I have a planner but forget to use it. 😆 I have a lot of random brain dump and to do lists on many pieces of paper. Occasionally, I'll condense into one list. Kitchen food: bread gets the clip or twist tie every time. Cereal gets folded and a mini chip clip inside the box. All lids are put back on all the way. Toothpaste gets messy if I use the flip top so to prevent that I unscrew it to dispense. However, I do squeeze from the middle and my ketchup bottle top only gets wiped off if it's noticeably messy. My purse is organized and I can find things without looking. If there's any trash inside it is because I wasn't near a trash can and didn't wanna litter. My car has a tiny trash bag and there is never any food containers left in there. However, it is dusty and my windows need cleaned. My fridge is covered with magnets and Appt reminders. I have piles of papers but also a working filing system. Jacket gets tossed on the back of a kitchen chair by my purse/work bags. Shoes are in the bedroom but still in the box they came in for storage. Bathroom is a half and half situation... some things out and some outta sight. I'm a Butterfly/Bee, Ravenclaw, ISTJ or ISFJ, Obliger, and my love language is Acts Of Service. Oh, and Eneagram 9w1!

[@IKsmille]

Thank you, this video really helped to determine my style!!! Visual and somewhat mildly non detailed (I do fold rags and undergarments, but my bag and car is trash). I could not figure it out by looking at 4 different shelve styles

[@Clutterbug]

Glad it was helpful!

[@katypiette3581]

I’ve never learned so much about myself in so little time! The oozing ketchup and toothpaste on the lid made me gasp out loud! Lol I’m definitely a detailed person!

[@emilyferrante4589]

I'm super surprised at how detailed I actually am! I definitely like thinks hidden away. I used to not spend too much time on folding and wrapping ect but I think most things that you mentioned I do actually take the time to fold and wrap. My fridge is free from clutter and I dont like anything on my countertops. My hubby is the exact opposite though. He wants to see everything. But he's also quite detailed.

[@beckypack1268]

Well, I just found out I am all over the place! Haha! I love things to be hidden and organized, but I just can't seem to make myself keep things that way! I do always fold towels, underwear, anything that should be folded. But sometimes the laundry lives in the basket or dryer for days! My purse is all neat and tidy, but my car is often a mess. I need therapy! Haha!

[@kathyfowler582]

I’m glad I’m not the only one that was both. 😝🙋‍♀️

[@amykotlarski9250]

I have no idea what I would bee...Haha lol

[@wendylane3342]

This was a great one - I must be a cricket! But I previously thought I was a ladybug. There are some things, like paper piles I leave out because I'm worried about forgetting important bills to pay, but I think it's just because I haven't got the right system for me yet.

[@emmamccoy8381]

I'm definitely a visual person. If I don't see it I'll forget it 🤷🏽‍♀️ Now the detailed part - At work 100% detailed! At home I'm half & half 🙂 I enjoyed this video

[@jocelynsmyth6604]

Definitely more detailed at work, home can sometimes be a cluster - and Definitely over here being detailed about everything EXCEPT the underwear drawer haha

[@beccismith4454]

If I don’t see it I’ll forget it… This is so me! I can’t imagine putting something away and still getting it done! Unless of course I set a clear reminder on my phone or something, or something nudges me…

[@randomharts]

Love the dress, Cass!!! Great color for you🥰 This was an amazing video…actually very helpful and completely relatable!

[@sonnyandcobi]

i am definitely detailed. I literally do everything you showed for detailed. I laughed because I am in the process of moving things around to suite my habits so I can be more detailed. I discovered that I seem to be a combination of visual and hidden organizer. I recently realized that the calendar on my computer works so much better than an organizer or notes. I finally can relax and enjoy planning my days activities. It's so easy to mark something as done and move things around as needed.

[@micheleohmer4117]

Hi Cass, please do a Fall clothing essentials, your Summer one was excellent👏🌷 I am detailed, I use scrap book covered toilet paper rolls to keep my electronic, kitchen appliance and styling tool cords organized.

[@belindaauntbhiggins7716]

I just LOVE you! I was feeling down today & needed something to take my mind off things. I saw the notification for your video & I knew I had to watch it! I’m so glad I did & I’m so glad I stayed til the end! You make me laugh & now I feel like my mood is lighter! Thank you! And I’ve been in Dawn’s group for 2 years now (from the beginning 🧐) and can you believe I’ve been too overwhelmed to take the clutterbug quiz to see what I am? My brain feels like a crazy super highway (even despite ADHD meds) I’m overwhelmed about so much. I’d love to hear how you do even more in your life like communication, parenting, marriage issues etc. I love your realistic way you teach us in your videos! Take care & please know you are making a HUGE difference in my life! Thank you again!

[@chloenightingale]

Today, I learned that I'm mostly detail oriented (not my toolbag, though!). I honestly had no idea!! And I'm a visual organiser, which I also didn't know, because I prefer everything put away (organised or unorganised) because it looks better away, but I should have known because if I don't make myself clean, I have stuff on allllll the surfaces. Hogwarts, I would have been Ravenclaw because I am a big nerd.

[@kellerayra7363]

Well there’s a title that brings your scrolling to a hilarious screeching halt. Kudos on your use of your awesome sense of humor. I am an organization dreamer junkie… addicted to your style of education. Love it. Half and half visual organizer…. Don’t you even scuff my car door getting in. Close cupboard doors, pretty appliances out, cords wrapped, planner and paperwork out, toothbrush sometimes left out, shower curtain closed hide bottles and face clothes. Husband hides his mess simultaneously leaving it out all over. Won’t ride in his car if at all possible. Sharing a basement and sharing a spare multipurpose room is torture. He knows who’s needs better be met for organization in bathroom, kitchen and all closets. By the way the toothpaste and ketchup bottles. CRINGE!!! going to check that out along with soft scrub, shampoo and dish soap.

[@christinegagne4262]

This was hilarious! Laughing with you of course, definitely a cricket but it made me aware how I also relied on the ladybug approach to papers and digital organization! I do have my cooking utensils in a crock besides the stove but I do put away my appliances. I also have hooks at the door for the current coat and my cross-body bag. Love all the personality tests! I'm ravenclaw, I even have assigned my coworkers in different houses! Thanks for the links!

[@Penelope222]

This was rather interesting! I’m naturally non-detailed but a lot of the specific things you mentioned I’m detailed in now, after implementing systems from you, Dawn and Dana. I now take the time to fold my tea towels because the container won’t fit what we need if I don’t! Underwear isn’t folded but it’s partitioned to keep it neat, and I only have what I wear. Car is neat mostly due to my husband 😂 Emails are not in folders but I read and delete ruthlessly daily, and papers are in a Sunday Basket that really only gets checked every few weeks, so I’m half detailed?

[@hannahnorris3809]

I am detailed and hidden. But my fridge is absolutely COVERED in photo magnets - but these are also organised - can’t do chaotic!😄

[@christinal.9309]

Another test you may be interested in is the Dress Your Truth test to find out your fashion style. Definitely helped me. 👍👌

[@beccismith4454]

YES!! Energy profiling has been so eye-opening and helpful and encouraging for me! So much more than just fashion, but also definitely helpful in that regard as well!

[@KENTUCKYUSA1]

Yes, and ClutterBug is a Type One. Her red dress suits her because it has a white tint. I can see she would look very good in pastels.

[@MissTiffanyK1]

This was great! I've taken your bug quiz and watched many other videos where we talk about figuring out your style, but this one was particularly helpful for me (and fun!). What's interesting is that I've always been a very detailed person (I was probably color coding in the womb), but the systems that are working great for me are pages you've taught me to loosen up and be more macro. My simplified filling categories had kept paper clutter under control for the first time ever, and not finding my underwear and my preschooler's clothes had meant less dread related to laundry and I'm keeping up better there too! Thank you for helping us learn about ourselves and our flaws so we can overcome them and/or make them work for us! ❤️

[@Sandy-ik3nd]

I’m soooo a detailed person, everything you’ve shown a detailed person does, I do! Too funny 😁

[@Pawzy123]

This was helpful! It's hard for me to determine what I am - thought I was a bee, but when you list the signs, I realized I was a butterfly! Thank you! 🦋

[@anitamorrison5426]

me too I found that I organized much better as a butterfly but my desk, computer is a bee. join the club

[@mariondesio]

Your system has helped me SO much! I'm a bee and while I love the look of hidden storage, it is not at all practical for me. So glad I found out that I was a visual organizer, and that it was a thing. Also, I love all the personality tests too! 😀I am a Bee, an ENFP, a Rebel, Gryffindor, and my love language is Quality Time.

[@howrandom9890]

Your channel has helped me learn that I’m detailed with some things and non-detailed for others. For example I always micro-sort my office supplies, but I just throw my bathroom stuff in a bin. But I’m 100% a person that likes things behind closed doors 😂

[@kg3753]

Fun video! I’m a quality time, INFJ, Hufflepuff, Ladybug with some Cricket tendencies😊 Love you and am so grateful for all of your videos! Your clutterbug styles completely transformed my thinking and helped me and my husband understand each other better!❤️

Love that dress. You look fabulous.

[@kimberlyburk5446]

I'm Team Detailed for sure (and a cricket.) I love taking these kind of quizzes too. When I took the Meyers Briggs 35 years ago, I was ISFJ. I'm going to take it again to see if it's the same now. Thanks for the fun video. Love your dress!

[@dorisdepinar21]

We are twins! ISFJ and a Cricket!!

[@bhsprinkle]

Interesting to see you find what your organizing system is in weird ways. Lol. Made me laugh. Definitely Detailed. Mostly Hidden, some visual. I don't like everything lying around or cluttered. I prefer things put away. Whatever is out has to be clean and minimal.

[@with_compassion]

? Love this- I'm an INFP-& fellow Hufflepuff :) Cass, watching the first 5m, I've found myself answering that I do both the detailed & non detailed, & depended on my current energy level, having chronic illness; which thing I did. 'Spoonie' here. I'm also aware of things needing 'homes.' I pretty much do both of everything you gave examples for except the food & toothpaste-those I keep neat/closed. I use both scraps of paper jumbled as well as notebooks/journal/sketchbooks. (artist brain?) I both fold/roll or shove my delicates, towels rolled,etc. (side note: my illness makes me very clumsy, tripping, falling, knocking things over a lot, think-domino effect 24/7 everywhere; progress gets spoiled that way a lot.) ? Please-How do I figure it out from there? I've felt cricket-bee-ladybug & that doesn't surprise or bother me, I just would love to apply the right way for me. Thanks so much in advance! I love what you do & am grateful for it/you-

[@simonesloan9734]

That was hilarious to watch....thank you Cas.....I am definitely non detailed 😆

[@tessarae9127]

Ooh I am so curious because I made the intention years ago that I never wanted to fold clothes stacked on top of each other again and then found furniture to suit my vision! Shallow drawers make it so I don’t need to move stuff out of the way to see and access everything I have. 10/10 recommend but it can be harder to find!

[@wendyduncan9084]

I got shelves so I could see it all. Lol The only things in drawers are socks, nighttime, and underwear. Everything else is hung or shelved. I’m not into opening drawers.

[@tessarae9127]

Nice hehe 🙃 I use it for tops mainly, they are all color coded in order and it works great for me! As far as folding goes, I don’t like the lines that goes with it so I go for boy scout / army style folding where I fold once in half then roll it!

[@wendyduncan9084]

@@tessarae9127 isn’t it wonderful when you figure out what you prefer and are actually willing to do? I taught people how they learn and one day I thought why not approach clothing the same way. I could do it like everyone else- resulting in clothes honestly worn out of the basket- or I could figure out what I liked about the basket and just do what I’m doing naturally. I totally love that you color sort your things too💚 it’s just so very pretty.

[@christinecarlson4799]

Cas! Absolutely one of my favorite YT casts! Funny, simple and extremely helpful to pinpoint our Clutterbug style. Thanks!

[@bosslifeorganizer]

Thank you Cas! I am a detailed visual organizer (Bee), but what is interesting is that ladybug is my stress behaviour mode although I know that it leads me to trouble when I f.ex. start to use post-it-notes and ditch my digital systems 😉

[@veransia]

Great video! I'm definitely non-detailed but there are certain things I can't let slide (toothpaste, eww!). I took your test and discovered that I'm a BEE! I am also a Hufflepuff and INFP! Every few years I re-take the Myers-Briggs test and it always comes up INFP, so I guess I'm just not changing, which doesn't surprise me. BTW, love that dress and you look amazing in it!

[@mkfusato]

Woohoo Hufflepuffs! 🎊 Your examples in this video really solidified that I’m a bee and that my husband is a butterfly. We are such opposites in the detailed/not detailed categories but we’re both super visual. Thanks for a fun video 😊

Hee Hee - I'm all over the map!! Close lids and wrap some cords (my mom did!) and hoses ... but don't look in my car!! Piles - oh yes piles .... and utensils etc are out in sturdy and pretty cups and jars (hee hee!!) and so are my art supplies. I'm a massage therapist, so fold towels and roll sheets, and keep bathroom towls folded nicely on their rod. I tend to LL of Quality time and Kind words - I'm a Virgo with Virgo rising and Taurus Moon - nurtured by nature, and have an ideal of everyting neat - but sure don't meet that! I'm a bit of a chameleon - LOVE visiting houses where everyting is all put away, and can follow whatever system they have - growing up, my folks were pretty organized, but my mom also had those piles!! Some pens in a jar by the phone, others in the drawer and note paper in the drawer, toaster in a corner cupboard ....

[@justforfunny7674]

I laughed so much at this video! I can totally relate and it also help me realize my husband is a visual organizer and I’m a hidden one! Now I understand so much 😅 Also I’m apparently a split personality when it comes to being detailed and not detailed. Literally split on all of those categories 😂 Also me: there are files for your emails???😂 I don’t need no stinking files-i just search for key words-easy peasy 🙃🤪😆

[@dianajones1334]

I think I am a bi-polar organizer. My car is the dumpster on wheels LOL, when I get home it is too hot to take the time to empty it on a regular basis. My purse does resemble a trash bag with handles now and then but I do regularly clean it out. I wrap cords. I have taken a view several times of your different videos on organizing styles and I am most definitely a BEE! I am so glad to find out that I am like I am for a reason. I once discribed my own organizing style with a stamped image of a tornado. The fact that I like to see my stuff or I don't remember where I put it causes most in my family to be terribly stressed. I too am stressed but get more stressed when I can't find my crafting items. We are a 4 generation household and I lost 2 dedicated craft rooms when circumstances called for us to open our home to family members. I am 70 now and my fantesy self is still dreaming of a big home filled with just me, my hubby, and my ton of craft items. Hubby's dream is that I will soon thin down our belongings because of the stress of owning, storing, and being crowded by it all. I appreciate you Cass, and Dawn and Dana for the changes that are taking root in my mind as I watch all your videos!!!

Amazing video, I want to be detailed and even though there are things that I do I'm not naturally...

I truly would recommend, for understanding yourself better, checking out energy profiling with Carol Tuttle, or you may have heard of “dress your truth”, that’s based on energy profiling and is so helpful in my experience! And pretty fun and fascinating

[@christineashby4003]

What to do for me, who is definitely visual & naturally is mostly non-detailed, but I also love when things ARE detailed because it makes it so much easier to easily find the exact things I’m looking for??? I know I am definitely visual, but I’ve always had trouble determining whether I’m a bee or a butterfly… and my husband is the exact same, visual & with some detail but not overwhelmingly so. It’s not just for different areas, but within each area there are some details but not others. I guess we just have to do trial & error on all the ideas for both bees & butterflies until we find what works 🤷‍♀️ I do LOVE you though, Cas - you & Dawn the minimal mom have helped me organize wayyyyyyy better than ever before in my life!!! (and I’m almost 40). I never knew how visual I was until I discovered you 6 months ago, because I was always trying to hide things away to please what everyone else around me (other than my husband & kids) thought was “normal” organizing (hidden)… Now I just need to do some fine-tuning to really nail things down 😁

[@user-ij9uk8tn8i]

Hahahahahaha!! I just spat out my tea. You leave my trash bag with handles alone! 😆🤣 I was feeling quite smug during the tea-towel section - I'm definately a folder. But when it comes to bags....

And finally finding and creating systems that make sense to my dyslexic/adhd brain! :) xx

[@susie5101]

This was a fun video. I noticed as you went through each thing that I've changed over the last couple of years, especially since I started watching you and the Minimal Mom. I'm much more detailed and non visual now. Except the underwear....I will never fold it! haha I do set about 10 (or more) reminders on Alexa a day so that I don't forget things. I don't have to worry so much since I know I'll get a reminder. I joke that she's my best friend.

I finally couldn't take it anymore! He is very visual too.....wouldn't you think that someone who was visual would notice more that there is paper all over the floor by their chair? He just doesn't see it! LOL I loved this video!!!

[@caro2983]

Great video Cas! I am definitely detail oriented. Yea am working on loosening up.

[@arizonashopper5095]

IDK how I missed this video before... thought i had seen them all. 😂 But this should be linked with the Bug Quiz every time, bc it really helped me understand the differences. I'm a Cricket but my ADHD son is not, and learning about the bug categories REALLY helped me understand why he just stacks things up on the kitchen counter, instead of putting them away like I do. This understanding went a long way in helping me be less frustrated with him, so I am eternally indebted to you for that peace, Cas! ❤

[@joannavaldez]

Totally detailed. My underwear drawer is not only folded, but categorized by type of fabric and each fabric further organized by colors. (Dark colors and reds/purples are left for that time of the month) Same with my entire closet. Everything is by type and each type by color. I also actively use 4 planners to go from general brainstorming to detailed day to day tasks. My purse/backpack is always categorized and I can reach into any pocket without having to browse for what I'm looking for. For totes and stuff without pockets inside, I always have smaller bags/pencil cases to organize everything neatly and know right away where they are without wasting time/brain power. I do probably have ADHD, and, honestly, I learned to become detailed for my college thesis work and trained myself to return everything to its place. It was probably the best thing to come out of my Biochemistry degree. 😂😂 I'm still super messy and forgetful. I've made peace with the fact that I'm always going to struggle with that. But, my efforts have paid off enough that it's second nature to make sure to organize and give everything a home and, for the most part, put everything back once I'm done using it.

[@lisabromley6824]

Lol the spatulas in the container on the counter! I have an old pottery crock on my counter full of all my kitchen utensils organized by type. It is definitely clear I'm a visual detailed person! 😁

[@katrinacash6092]

I can be both. I like to be organized but when life is hectic and mind isn't clear then I struggle

[@Veronensis]

I am definitely a hidden organizer, but with the detailed part, I'm somewhere in the middle. I think I figured out that ideally I prefer it to be detailed, but I only do it if it's easy. So I like to sort things in specific categories, but only if all those categories are easily accessible in one step. If I have to open lids or take things out of closets, I don't put it away. But if things are in broad categories, they spiral out of control. I think drawers with drawer organizers are my best friend

[@beccismith4454]

How interesting! I’m only at the beginning right now, but chords: yes, I generally take care of them unless like with my toaster doesn’t really work very well to stow it away… my underwear is generally folded as well, and my socks etc. Not sure if that’s my natural style or expected from how I was raised. I do like to be able to find things quickly and that does help in that regard. But emails? I do have some folders, but are not used very regularly! The main folders I use our inbox, “unknown“ and then of course the trash and checking the junk folder… The other folders that I have made over the years are in some cases really old and haven’t been used perhaps in years… some photos get added to periodically, like maybe emails from Family or regarding business, finances or computers… Things I think I will want to or need to access in the future. But how often I actually do is not very much. 😂 I think my Cass organizing style is butterfly.

[@kimberlywatts3402]

Cricket, Gryffindor and ISTJ-A. It was interesting that Acts of service was my love language. I definitely appreciate your sharing your results with us.

[@aingeasil]

I‘m a semi-detailed visual organzier - for example, I actually organize my underware nowadays since I used to not be able to know what I own and if it is in laundry when I just tossed everything in the drawer 😅 If I put things away, ist has to be organized, yet I prefer to keep important stuff in sight. I hate it, when my husband puts „unused things away“, because he just stacks things in cupboards and drawers, regardless of system or completeness (e.g. if parts of an appliance are still in the dishwasher). Oh, and yes, I‘m almost 90 % 🐝 with sometimes minor tendencies toward 🦋

[@missTamita]

Thanks for this Video Cas!!! I'm a detailed/hidden clutterbug who always believed she was a non-detailed/visual bug! Im realizing that so much of my organizing style was/is informed by the people i live with(their bug styles) and the lack of access I have to storage solutions. If i could have all the bins and dividers - life would be a dream!!! 😅

[@elisabethjohannes7391]

I‘m clearly a visual organizer but smack in the middle between detailed and non-detailed. The Love language I speak is gifts, the Love language I hear is support/acts of service…

[@SaraShire]

I initially tested as a Ladybug. But as I’ve been decluttering and organizing, my style has shifted. I think I’m a Cricket now! I do like many of my pretty treasures to be visible, but everything else put away. That’s so much easier now that that I have much less inventory. I’ve taken your “Take Your House Back” course and have been working with a professional organizer. She has taken loads and loads out of my home for me. She even donated my books to the library! Thank you for inspiring and teaching me. 😘

[@Clutterbug]

You're so welcome!

[@SoliRhymesWithJulie]

In your system I am also a ladybug (and INFJ). But I do like detail oriented when there is a setup in place. So I do wrap up the cords, put away clothes and close drawers and doors, and would keep my kitchen appliances in a cabinet if I had a good setup. So I am working on making more of these things happen.

[@iamsas777]

I have seen a lot of these video's and I've always felt like I'm both a detailed as a non-detailed organiser, and a visual and a hidden organiser. I still think that I'm a mixture of all but Ive made a list of the items in this video that actually apply to me and I looked at how in most cases I do or tend to do something and it made me think I'm mostly a butterfly. I also tend to be a perfectionist and see details easily, which I think made it confusing as I have a lot of trades of a butterfly I don't think if I'm doing some organising things in a non-butterfly way cause of reasons beyond myself, I think I've considered what's best per situation. For instance with laundry. I do fold the kitchen towels and such because I have a lot of them and also they are relatively easy to fold. Clothing I fold to save space too, I don't see the point in folding underwear, but I do like to fold socks (just 1 fold for a pear), and I fold other clothing too before putting them away. Only I don't fold (in a way they fit best) often because I like to keep stuff hanging on the (inside) clothing things. I take them as I need them and if I need to make space I do quick folds and I use the umh clothing things kinda like an open closet. Only when my washed clothing becomes too much, I'll start folding. For email and the pc (and kinda also with papers), I feel like I'm both detailed (organised) as not organised. I like to have a good structure but I find it hard to get there and to get every thing in there takes a lot of time. But not doing that is not good for me either. With a bag I guess it's kinda the same, a mixture. I generally like bins which are easy to open them but I don't need them to be see through and I'm not against lids with some of them, if I don't use them often I guess and when I want to stack a few they need lids. I don't leave kitchen cabinets doors open, but I leave clothes laying around a lot. I don't mind seeing a lot of things, but at some point it becomes too much and I become annoyed, not when it's just a bit here and a bit there.

Happy to say I'm detailed. My late grandmother said you can tell what kind of person is by their car. If it's clean their a clean and tidy person, if it's dirty well their a dirty and cluttered person.
