    Just because someone is highly organized does not mean they have OCD! Alejandra is just a person with a passion and talent for organizing and beautifying a living space. Let's appreciate her talents and learn from her experience. Alejandra, I am so glad I found your videos! I love your ideas and your examples. Your demeanor is both calming and motivating at the same time. You are a natural teacher. Way to go!!

    I have small children so I know that although I cannot utilize and keep up all the things that she does...some of this information is STILL AWESOME! Thanks for taking the time to show all of us who clicked on your video. And God bless:)

      Kayla York yes I agree! It would be really classified as opd but really it’s not she is just a very organised person

    • @marianellaramirez3786
      @marianellaramirez3786 4 роки тому

      @Kayla York Nice Video! Apologies for butting in, I would appreciate your thoughts. Have you tried - Mahorrla Control Clutter Method (Sure I saw it on Google)? It is a smashing exclusive product for decluttering your home without the normal expense. Ive heard some super things about it and my friend Sam after a lifetime of fighting got amazing success with it.

  • @mariaqayyum123
    @mariaqayyum123 10 років тому

    • @jenchen81
      @jenchen81 10 років тому +1

      Done with the thinking, now go the closet, start purging and put back only stuff that you need. The rest of it can be either donated, recycled, or maybe throw them away.

  • @rieg5261
    @rieg5261 7 років тому

    I've read here and on other comment sections for other organizing videos. : "who has time for that"? and various OCD comments. I'm a reforming slob LOL..the thing that is really surprising is how much time you find when everything is organized. I never realized how much time I wasted looking for things. I can clean the whole house in less than a half hour these days thanks to being organized and having a routine. Once I started it became addictive to keep fine tuning the system. I love how things flow now. I started one closet or cupboard at a time, in a short time everything was done.

    • @CirquedJoy
      @CirquedJoy 10 років тому +1

      McKenzie Ross idk, I think it is kind of important to do that stuff yourself. It's really easy to be messy when that is what you're used to. Cleaning and organizing your house on your own helps you learn what works for you and what doesn't, and also helps you get into the routine of doing it, so that you start to do it by habit, instead of putting things off because it's easy. It also makes you feel good about yourself when you figure things out on your own.

  • @maddiemoor

  • @petmomful2260
    @petmomful2260 8 років тому +3

    I like to organize, but I am not nearly as organized as she is. I don't like to be embarrassed when people stop by. And my ferret gets up on my desk and knocks everything over. LOL. I am going to have to rethink a few things because of him. Good thing he is so cute and I love him so much.

    • @helena8080
      @helena8080 8 років тому

      If he knocks down things like pencil boxes etc you can just use putty to keep it down so it will be pretty hard to get it off but it will not do any harm to your table and things.

    • @petmomful2260
      @petmomful2260 8 років тому

      Helena Veebel That is a really great idea. I also plan on putting some of my stuff in drawers so he cannot get to them. The other day I was standing in front of my desk, cleaning it off. There are holes in it, with plugs in them, for the cords. He popped up thru one of the holes, pushing the plug out. He had climbed up one of the drawer units. It was very very cute!

    • @helena8080
      @helena8080 8 років тому

      +petmom ful I have a very small table and everything used to fall off so easily but now its so much better. She has talked a lot about putty you can also use it in the bottom of your organizers to keep them in one place. c:

    • @petmomful2260

      Yeah, I will have to get some. It sounds like the solution to several problems. And an easy solution, as well.

    • @GhostPhriek
      @GhostPhriek 8 років тому +2

      I think it's mainly because of the larger amount of vertical space compared to horizontal space. I just recently moved into a town home, and the kitchen is literally a six-foot straight line from refrigerator to oven. It's either build up, or get very creative!

      I wonder what would happen if her husband didn't put things back in their place. I already ask my hubby to put his clothes away he slightly furrows his brow but to do this in your whole house.good for her for being so tidy but I can see they must both be on edge if he doesn't put his stuff where it is labelled. She likely has her hubby trained or he doesn't mind it or he's the same way guys can be messy

    Here's a quick tip... Install some shelves or a shelving system..Buy boxes and baskets and start filling them with 'like' items. Do this inside all your drawers, cabinets, and on shelves. You can buy most of what you need a the dollar store. It has helped me A LOT when going from a small house to an even smaller apartment.

    @Anthony_in_Bloomington_Indiana 8 років тому

    Wow, everything is so tidy! I like the bungie cord method with the board games.
    I am decluttering my too small apartment. My worst bugaboo is too many papers. For the last several months, I have been sorting papers. Each paper goes into a paper grocery bag, or into a pile to scan or type something into my computer, and I have to save just a few, such as car insurance and tax forms.
    I put each bag at the bag of the closet.
    Yesterday I took nine grocery bags stuff with papers to the recycling center, along with two large bags of plastic bags, 10 flourescent light bulbs, a collection of scrap metal, a printer , a and an old desktop computer, along with some wires and electronic odds and ends.
    I still have more papers to sort through, not nine bags worth though! Around three bags worth of papers to sort.

    OMG. I ran to the Container Store this morning after watching this video last night. Elfa is on sale until sunday, lol. I'm watching this as I put up my shelves to organize my office. Your office is amazing!!! But so is your cleaning/medicine closet, and kitchen---my kitchen drawers are a disaster now (and so is everything else--I have 3 kids) but i'm going to keep watching until I get everything organized & labeled. You are definitely the "QUEEN" of organization! Thanks for the videos!

  • @equallyyoked1
    @equallyyoked1 12 років тому

    I hope the organization went well I too am inspired! What is also helping me is to get rid of stuff FAST! What's the point in holding on to stuff that you don't need or use when someone else can? Well, that's the question I had to ask myself. One summer my mom and friend alternated and we got rid of a LOT of my children's things that they weren't using as well as mine and hubby's. I then incorporated organization and it has been a heck of a lot easier to stay organized with less stuff! God bless
