And then you have to go out and buy a new cord because you lost the cord that came with your device. And then you're just continually bringing all of those like new things in.
Yeah, no, it's funny. And I feel like coffee cups, that's it's almost sort of like, I don't know what it is. It's a category for people. And I don't know if it relates to deeper values that we have around like hospitality, or it reminds us of seeing friends or sometimes people collect coffee mugs when they're traveling, but also they have those coffee mugs from like, Aunt Sarah, but I do feel like
If you can name for yourself also like what is getting in the way because of that volume of coffee cups that I have, like that can be an important place to start. And like we live in a 750 square foot apartment. Like I just went through coffee mugs also recently and my daughters were like, daddy, what are you doing? Those are all of our holiday mugs. And I was like,
it's fine i'm not getting rid of the holiday mugs but i'm like moving them with the holiday stuff because they can't be out on these shelves for the next year so i do feel like you know again it's going back to that like doomsday scenario like do you have enough coffee mugs to not wash your coffee cup for an entire month like if so that may be too many um do you actually have a coffee pot that's large enough
If all of your friends come over and everyone is holding a coffee mug, like can you actually fill up everyone's coffee mug at the exact same time? The answer is probably no. So like that could be a category that you start examining and that could be a great sort of like testing ground for some of your decluttering skills.
Yeah, and I think that that's okay and I think that, you know, one of the philosophies that I like to share with people is this idea of being able to name what is just enough for you in any individual category and I think that our spaces in our homes function best when we feel like we do have space for the things that we value or love or enjoy that it's like so often
We can look at our square footage as being limiting, but it's often because we have an abundance of things in categories that are taking up space that might not be allowing those new things to come in or be able to organize those things that we have of value.
I think that this is when you look at a restaurant or those like MasterChef episodes, especially when you have like Gordon Ramsay sort of like yelling at you and you have the clock counting down. Like restaurants have to be organized in such a way that the chefs, the sous chefs, the servers are able to get the food out to people in a timely manner.
And as you mentioned, like so often when people move into a space or when they're like unboxing items to go into their kitchen, You sort of adopt this like put it wherever it fits sort of mindset that it's like, okay, there's a drawer over here or there's a cabinet there. Let me just put the stuff away.
And oftentimes, you know, how people put things away when they first moved in, whether it's five years ago, a decade ago, 20 years ago, it's sort of like that is what set people. the organizational blueprint.
And so I feel like zoning can be a really important sort of organizational approach where it's like within the kitchen, you need to have a prep station, you need to have a cooking station, you need to have a serving station, you need to have a cleanup zone. If you have kids, you need to have the items where kids can access them. And that's exactly what the top restaurants around the world do.
Like there is this organizational blueprint and there is these zones that are established because the goal is to make really beautiful, wonderful, savory foods in a very quick or efficient manner because it could be the best restaurant in the world, but if it's not set up for efficiency and it takes two hours from the time you've ordered to the time that dish lands on your plate or on your table, like
It's not going to taste as good and people aren't going to be happy.
I think that people have these sort of like catch-all zones. And whether it is, you know, you live in a small space or you live in this like palatial sort of farmhouse. I've also had people who live in castles who are like, can you please just help me declutter? And I'm like... I think I can help you with that castle, but first we've got to sort of pare down these different wings that you have.
But I feel like people are notorious for having these catch-all, I'll-get-to-it-later sort of areas. And so often when you have... closets or wardrobes or dressers. Like you don't actually think about them as real estate that's important within your home. You know, like when we get architectural blueprints, we often see the purpose of the room that is named.
Like it's very clear that there's the living room, there's the kitchen, there are the bathrooms. But then there are those smaller closeted areas that people don't give a specific name or purpose to. And so, I feel like One strategy that I've shared with people is to actually treat your closets like rooms and like, can you name what is the specific function or purpose?
And like, if you were doing this overhead layout of your entire space, could you tangibly name for yourself and for others what the purpose of that closet is, which then helps you to set up the organizational system, which then helps you with the tidying process of putting things back in their place.
which then can also help you with the process of cleaning, which is like the removal of dirt and grime and signs of life. But so much is interconnected and related, and oftentimes that catch-all can just feel like this huge overwhelming barrier that often is drawn from the fact that you're not actually clear what the purpose of that space is in the first place.
Yes, and then it leads to that overspending and consumption because when you can't find something, you're like, well, I've got to go back out the store to get it. Or when you have a spouse or kids and you're like, just go to that closet, just go to that bedroom. That's where it probably is. No one is actually going to take the time to sort through everything that's in there.
And so, I think that...
