know establishing the purpose establishing zones committing to stopping that trend of like that's just our catch-all space i don't know it's something that's really important because it as i mentioned it like leads to you going and buying more stuff or it leads to resentments or frustration or sometimes just embarrassment where you just have that door that like nobody's allowed to open nobody could go in there and you just sort of try to forget about it even though it's sort of like subconsciously lingering for you
And then I just love that then it's like the person who found it somehow gets to become the person who like blames it on everyone else who lives in the house. Because we've all done that. We've like opened the drawer and then it's immediately like, who put all this stuff there? Why is everyone doing this? Why can't people just put their stuff away?
Even though you have may actually caused some of that disorganization yourself. Yeah.
Yes. And it's like, well, I've held on to this for all these years. Like, why would I get rid of this now? Which again, just sort of perpetuates this cycle. And I think it's why, you know, the processes of decluttering and organizing, tidying, and then cleaning, I think it's why they're so important. And it's why those four really do need to be treated as separate
you know, sort of routines and systems that also all are intertwined. And it's just like, you know, a few months ago, my youngest daughter, like completely clogged the down the toilet, which then caused it to like flood into our downstairs neighbor's apartment. And, you know, it was like, where did I need to shut off that water?
Our water valve for the entire bathroom is underneath the bathroom sink. And if that was an untidy place, it would then cause me to not be able to actually get to the valve to turn it off. And it's one of those examples where
yes that sort of feels like a catastrophe sort of like situation but there are practical realities that like disorganization does make it really hard for us to maintain our homes and when we don't maintain our homes there are a whole host of issues that can surface and problems that can happen where we have to throw money at things simply because we didn't like either know how to take care of it in the first place or actually take care of it in a way that like keeps things maintained and organized
I think that just some people do, but you know, like the example that I gave of like, we have a cottage in Pennsylvania and one of the best things that we did when we purchased our home, a friend said, find yourself a home inspector that will allow you to walk around the house with you because that home inspector is actually going to teach you how to take care of your home.
And that was one of the best things that I could have possibly done in that two-hour stretch of time, that he allowed me to follow him around. He was like, here's how you turn off the water. These are things to look for in the crawl space. Here's how you want to get into the attic. And these are things that you want to check seasonally.
Just that two-hour stretch of time gave me so much mental clarity on how to share and how to take care of our space.
For 11 years, every night women slept illegally on the Common. We would move down to the West Indies to form a lesbian nation. Meg Christen coined the phrase women's music, but she would have liked to say it was lesbian music. And that's kind of the origins of the Combahewer Collective.

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.
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 know 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 like 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.
