Creating a clutter-free environment is challenging. Despite your best intentions, you may find yourself overcome with doubt, anxiety, or simply not knowing where to begin. To help you face those challenges, we have created Perfectly Placed’s Organizing Deep Dive.

As a professional organizer based in St. Louis, I have been helping people declutter and design beautiful spaces since 2005. My husband, Travis, has been providing counseling services to clients since 2003. Now, for the first time, we have combined our specialties and take a “deeper dive” into the mental and emotional aspects of organizing your life!

In this video, introducing Organizing Deep Dive, we discuss our desire to help people find greater freedom from the grip of stuff. In future videos, we will explore topics such as how anxiety, perfectionism, and guilt get in the way of making progress on your piles.

As we seek to better understand organization and living more simply, we will also include topics like this:

• The “neuroscience” of getting organized
• How organization helps your mood
• The negative impact of clutter on sleep
• Increasing motivation to tackle big projects
• How to be an “Essentialist”
• Decision making

For years, as a married couple, we have talked about the overlap between our career fields and have dreamed about how we might combine our areas of expertise to help people live more simply. Organizing Deep Dive is the result. We are excited and humbled to share these ideas with you and hope that you find them as helpful as we do.
