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 in St. Louis, Missouri, 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!

Sleep Tips for Parents

Why do teens stay awake so late and struggle to get up for school in the morning? Are they simply being stubborn, or is there more to it? In this video, Travis and Susan take a deeper dive into why teens need more sleep and stay up later.

On the other end of the spectrum, when you are parenting infants and young children, it seems that you can never get enough sleep! How do you navigate these challenging times?

Creating structure, setting a routine, and having realistic expectations around your sleep schedule can make a big difference. Travis and Susan talk about their struggles to get enough sleep when their children were little. One of their discoveries was that taking shifts at night with young children helped them maintain their sanity during a difficult season.
