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 St. Louis home organizer, 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!

It’s the time of year when more “stuff” comes into our already overstuffed home. In the first episode of Organizing Deep Dive we explore the causes of holiday clutter and how to make more space in your home. 

Clutter is caused in the home when the amount of stuff coming into the home is greater than the amount leaving the home. 

In this episode, we explore topics including:

• Making room for the gifts Santa brings
• Donating toys to needy children
• Why having fewer toys allows your kids to have more fun

Finally, one of the biggest challenges to making more room for the toys and clothes that come with the holidays is the feelings of nostalgia that are attached to the items you already own. In this video we give tips on preserving memories and the feelings of nostalgia while freeing up more space.
