Today on the show we have Meg Golightly, home organizing expert, and founder of Simplified.

 

For Meg, home organizing is not just about putting things in their place.

 

She says, "My interest in home organization has evolved from a lifelong fascination with how our brains work reinforced by my degree in psychology and my ongoing interest in neuroscience.”

 

She believes we all have reasons as to why we hang on to things. And everybody struggles with clutter. Everybody. However, there’s a cost to clutter.

 

And that we can’t get to where we want to be until we let go.

 

And so, Meg does more than just show us how to organize — she goes deeper. There’s one important step she believes we all must do before we organize, and she shares it in this conversation.

 

She also offers tips on where and how to start in the organizing process, as well as the three questions she has her clients answer before starting the organizing process.

 

We also talk about how find her favorite organizing tools; why she creates “towns” for her stuff at home; and finally, she shares expert ways to organize a pantry. We all know how much we love seeing a well-organized pantry!

 

If you’re ready to make space in your home — both literally and figuratively — this conversation for you.
