Most recently, I did our like tech drawer, which I feel like everybody is great at bringing new tech in, but there's something about us that like holds on to all of those cords and chargers, even when we've gotten multiple duplicates forevermore. All this today on Something You Should Know.
Yeah.
Yeah, so to me, tidying up is this process of bringing order to things. And I think oftentimes people think about it just with their physical possessions, you know, the act of putting something away once it's been used. But I also feel like tidying up these days, it's really transcending just the aesthetics of our home that
You name it, you can learn to tidy it up, be it your hobbies or your professional life or the relationships that you have with people or your email inbox, your calendar that you're dealing with. Anything that you can name, you can learn to tidy it up.
Yeah, I definitely think that we all have thresholds of mess. And I think that that's one of the beautifully messy joys of life is that we're often sharing spaces with other people, whether it be at home or in the workplace.
But I often think that, you know, if you can drill down to that area of your life that you really feel is tidiest and like for some people, it's their car or like their glove compartment, their trunk. It could be those drawers that are in the kitchen. If you go to that place where you feel like it is that like optimal level of tidiness, you can start to unearth sort of the why behind that.
Why is it that you show so much care or affection for that one thing? And then how could that transcend into other areas of life that may feel a little bit messier? Because I do find that we all have those areas of our life that It is of value or importance to keep tidy. And then there are other places of our lives that we just sort of let things go.
And it could be like the side of your bed where you just throw the clothes at the end of the night instead of putting it in the laundry hamper. Like there is a why or a bigger, you know, sort of question underneath that.
So I feel like so often when people start the process of like tidying or decluttering, they're so excited to take on their entire house at one time. And it's sort of like when you start that new resolution that you're going to like work out every single day of the month, like a few days in, you start to develop muscle fatigue and overwhelm. And that can happen with tidying too.
And I feel like when you want to have an entry point or a place to start, I feel like decluttering those categories where you don't have to negotiate can be so freeing.
So like for you, if you are starting with the clothing that's in your closet, if you're starting with your work stuff, if you're talking about your own individual work bag, like those are things that you're able to actually declutter and go through without negotiating with your wife, for example.
Because I feel like so often when you have to declutter with negotiating, that's when all of these other relational sort of issues, start to pop up. And it's not to say that you never want to declutter with negotiating, but I feel like if you are inspired, it's like start with your own stuff first, and then you gradually begin to take on the more complex sort of categories.
And the decluttering process that I recommend, it's You first clear the space, then you start to sort the stuff because it needs to be in smaller categories. Then you can begin to assess what do you want to keep versus what do you want to move out before you then make the organizational plan for all of those items that you've chosen to keep.
But I do feel like decluttering without negotiating first is a great place to start.
yeah absolutely not and you know most recently i did our like tech drawer which i feel like everybody is great at bringing new tech in but there's something about us that like holds on to all of those cords and chargers even when we've gotten multiple duplicates forever more and so Over the weekend, I was like, let me just set a timer for 15 minutes.
Let me pull all these chords out and actually see, can I sort these and get these reorganized into a way that's actually usable for our family? And it was amazing to see, one, the volume of chords that we had, but two, to be able to name, which of the chords did I actually like? What was the optimal length? Which ones were sort of broken at the end? And
It really reminded me of the power of that like 15 to 20 minute declutter with a very narrow category that then has so many positive impacts on your life, like when your device needs to be charged that you know exactly where to go for like the type A or the type C charger in a place that's like neat and tidy and organized.
Yeah, and I don't know what it is. I feel like sometimes there's this doomsday scenario almost that we're all planning for. We sort of have lived through doomsday scenarios, which is still coming out of the pandemic of 2020. But whether it's toilet paper or coffee mugs or tech courts, it's like, why do we need the volume that we do? Is it so that if we happen to have
30 friends who come over and all of their cell phones are like dead and they're expecting like important, like life altering calls that they all need to be charging their phones at the same time. Like when you start to use a little bit of humor and ask yourself like, Am I planning for a doomsday scenario right now?
That can sort of help you guide to what is that like just enough number or what is that just right number of the number of cords that you need that make you feel comfortable so that when you open up that drawer, you can actually find what you need as opposed to being frustrated that you can't find something.
