How To Get Organized In A Small Space

How To Get Organized In A Small Space

“I’m desperate for tips about staying organized in a two bed townhouse. My husband and I have a 13 month old and are thinking of adding another to our family soon.  Our son shares the spare room with some storage and furniture while my husband is working from home from a desk in our bedroom. We don’t have heaps of toys, but there are some sentimental items like furniture, essential woodworking and sewing supplies, and so many clothes it seems silly to give away when we’re hoping for even more kids. How can I get organized in a small space?”

 

Effective organizing is all about prioritizing first. On this episode, I’m answering a listener’s question about how to get organized in a small-ish space by divulging my 3-step organizing method; I’m introducing the ultra-effective concept of space limits, too.

 

Here’s a preview of this week’s episode:

Labors Of Love

Last year was the hottest year on record, so it's safe to say that Earth Day as we traditionally celebrate isn't working.

On today's show I suggest what I believe is the antidote to the climate crisis (and I'm willing to bet you won't be able to guess what it is!).

 

Here's a preview:

[3:45] The Big 5: We know what we should do environment-wise, so why aren't we doing it?

[7:15] Communal care is anti-capitalist, and that's really darn important

[16:30] Here's what research finds re: the relationship between collectivist culture and pro-environmental behaviors

[24:00] If the problem is disconnection, is the solution as simple as authentic reconnection?

[34:00] It's actually not hard at all to pivot from the conventional, negative feedback loop we find ourselves currently in

 

* A note from Stephanie: No Headlines Friday, and Tuesday's episode will be out next Wednesday!
