Just a Mess!
Sometimes you got to make a mess to get things organized- actually for me… it’s all the time!
For real though, think about it. How do you clean out your closet? Or your pantry? You have to remove everything, pull it all out to see what you have in there to get rid of the things that maybe don’t fit, or are old - is it worth keeping? Is it something you only use when it’s cold outside? Is that pack of crackers that you have deep in the back of the pantry expired? I think you get the point. But you won’t know what’s in a place until you pull all those things out. You got to! Especially if you wanna do it right!
Like road work - everyone hates road work! It detours you, makes you take the long way around! What’s the easy way from point A to point B - a straight line - well dang now this detour is make me go from point A to point C, D, E and F before I can get to B - that’ll ruin your morning commute huh? But in order to make you have a smooth ride or to beautify a street you have to make a mess and tear up the old to make something beautiful. The tearing up part is not really great, but most of the time very necessary!
Making the best kind of mess!

Organizing and decluttering can seem overwhelming, but embracing the mess is a crucial step in the process. When tackling spaces like closets or pantries, start by removing everything. This method allows you to assess what you have, making it easier to decide what to keep, donate, or throw away. Consider categorizing your items; for instance, during pantry organization, group similar food items together. This not only helps in decluttering but also facilitates easier access and cooking later. When clearing out your closet, try the 'one year rule', where you evaluate pieces you haven't worn in the past year. If you find something still in good condition but unused, consider donating it to others in need. Additionally, don’t overlook the mental benefits of decluttering. A clearer physical space often translates to a clearer mind, reducing stress and enhancing productivity. It's important to remember that the tidying process may take time and sometimes requires discomfort—after all, beautiful streets start as construction zones. So, accept the mess as part of your journey to creating a well-organized space that truly reflects your personality and lifestyle.
