      Actually amazing to see from a content and a human perspective. I love to watch clean up and sort out videos, but the way it was done so delicately to include who you are and what you already have was just so tasteful. It was respectful to you and your lives and hopefully it feels good and helps you continue to grow! All three of you really deserve this.

    I would love like a 3-month or 6-month update on this video! Not to put pressure on you or anything but to find out which of the new systems work for you and which could be better, because the whole point is for you to be comfortable in your home and make it easy for you. Would be really cool to have the same professional organizer visit again to help you tweak things.

      I felt this so much. I sent this video to my friends expressing how much it resonated with me, and even though I have friends over frequently who see my messy room I'm still embarrassed to send a photo of it over to them. I grew up with one parent who hoards and one who excessively organizes and I think my brain always wants to be organized but gets stressed when not knowing where to start, and I always think it's a problem with me because I feel perfectly fine living in my messy space, so it's such a breath of fresh air seeing that people like me can still have their own sense of space while changing to be a little more organized!

    Like this organizer said, it's very easy to become disorganized then your brain just kind of pauses forever. It takes something to spark it in you that you're disorganized to finally either seek help organizing or do it yourself. I definitely don't typically see disorganization as being a failure, lazy, etc it's just overwhelming. The issue is that being disorganized won't help anything.. if anything, it'll just make you feel even more overwhelmed and stressed. It becomes a pretty harsh loop because being overwhelmed and stressed typically makes you not want to clean, organize, etc.

    • @ElizabethHoward
      @ElizabethHoward 2 роки тому +25

    It’s a really important point to make- the role that mental health plays in our physical spaces. As someone who lives with someone who has OCD and depression, I’ve seen this firsthand. It’s easy to judge someone on their space, but if you don’t know what’s going on internally, you’re missing the biggest part of the picture.

      I am willing to get rid of things, so I don't think I'm a hoarder. There is not trash around. I see the task as so over whelming, too. And it's a Big task, and ALL feels like it's a priority, so I don't start. But I was advised to take small steps, micro if needed, by doing small actions and see how it worked. It helped and I found myself going further and doing more. I think getting started can be the hardest . The satisfaction can be very empowering. Good luck on your journey. BTW: my mantra while thinking about starting was "it's only work".

      I was recently diagnosed at 31 and life post treatment is I’m not exaggerating, a breeze. My house is clean and tidy yet I’m not constantly cleaning and that’s one of the smallest improvements treatment made fo my life. It doesn’t happen overnight but having the right meds and building good habits means little by little I got my house the way I want if for the first time ever. I used to think of being organized as a burdensome task with a positive outcome, but now I genuinely see it as a small time investment With a positive outcome. All about progress, not perfection.

    @justbrendap590 2 роки тому +1089

    Honestly, the relief I feel when others show their messy homes is immeasurable. In this age of Instagram and home decor blogs and websites, it is so easy to feel like I’m the only one with a horribly messy home. It’s also so helpful to hear that it’s not an issue of being lazy, it’s too many decisions. That rings so true, because every time I’ve had to pack or move or purge I very quickly get overwhelmed and fatigued. Maintaining systems is so doable, but when you don’t have systems set up it feels so overwhelming to start. I was 100% eyeballing my apartment while watching this trying to decide which area to start purging.

      I also have OCD and ADD! If you're feeling motivated, might I recommend you adopt my F**k-It Bucket solution? I'm very organized (now, as the result of years of grueling effort) and the exception is a large metal bucket in the hall closet. Therein I stick all the stuff that doesn't have a space or that I think I should donate but don't quite want to part with yet. Don't know what to do with it? F**k it, it goes in the bucket.
      It sounds silly or obvious or like it'll just immediately get out of control, but I cannot express to you the relief I (and several of my friends, yay) feel knowing it's okay to always have one small mess and it is manageable and healthy and contained and everything else is good. It became sooo much easier to have that sort of allowance/default/fallback, and it made me immediately feel okay about having the stuff inside the bucket because now it wasn't floating around loose creating mess.

    Kristin, I appreciate the honesty and vulnerability in all of your videos. The sense of gentle good humour and honesty between Jen and you is so lovely. It's amazing that you, Jen and Brie all support each other so fiercely. I'm so glad that Space Camp has managed to make the space work for you and Brie and made it seem less overwhelming. I hope you, Brie and Honey bear can make the most of it now and it feels more like a liveable, calming space.

    Honeybear just has the sweetest little face! I will say, as the owner of two dogs, it's a lot easier to keep floors free of human clutter when you have a puppy around. A big motivator in reorganizing my house was getting my dogs, and they motivate me to try and keep things in order

      RIGHT?!? I didn’t know how to phrase it without sounding like I’m accusing them of adopting to help clean the floor (and I’m NOT) but boyyyy does having animals around make you hypervigilant and take more care of areas they interact with. It helps to get you out of your head, when you’re looking out for someone else!

    Feeling seen 😂 The tip off for me, that I'm starting to backslide emotionally/mentally, is when I stop making my bed, that's the snowball. After I had similar assistance from an organizer, I keep it up by having a cleaning person come in once a month. If you have any hoarding tendencies, depression, etc. just like your organizer said, the energy changes dramatically, once everything is organized and clean. Having a cleaner is intrinsic to my mental health, and is worth every single penny.

My room looks like Kristin's did in the beginning and I found it nice to see, plus that the organiser wasn't focused on one standard way of organising, like how the makeup went in a cart instead of a drawer because in this situation it was working better.

    Yesssss!!
    People think having OCD automatically makes you a "neat freak".
    "Oh, nay, nay."
    -Bailey Sarian
    It can cause you to feel SO overwhelmed by the slightest kink in your chain that you physically *cannot* move forward. The mess stays and grows because there is no way for you to even begin to process how to start, how to fix it; full on panic attacks can ensue and, so, you freeze.
    You don't even need to have OCD or mental illness of any type to feel stuck or frozen. It can happen to *anyone* . You're perfectly normal. It's fine. And I promise the people who love you the most?? Well, they don't care about a mess here and there. They'll probably even try to help--let them.

    I just stumbled on this video because it was recommended to me randomly. And I have to say I absolutely love it. The total validation and normalizing that some people simply struggle with organization and tidiness in the home. Me AND my partner both have ADHD and our house is always a disaster. I feel ashamed of it, and wish I could be better at cleaning up (Which is what lead me to getting diagnosed with ADHD, because I couldn't get myself to work on my house even with a ton of free time). But at the same time I am not so judgemental of others who have messy houses because I understand it's a struggle. It's not that I WANT to live in a messy house or that I'm not bothered by it. It's just that my disorder keeps me from having it be as tidy as I'd like.

We all expected to have a few kids come help but there was almost 50 of us cleaning out everything and by 3 hours we were halfway done.
