The Secret To Organization
Have you ever wanted to know the secret to getting organized? It doesn’t require you to fold perfectly or outfit your entire home with organizing products. In fact, the most important first steps to achieving a more organized life, don’t require any sorting or folding!
Below you will find our pillars to start your journey to an organized life and to elevate your space and mind.
Mindful Ownership
You must learn to think about your belongings in terms of their weight and decide when your belongings are worth keeping and when new items are worth bringing into your home. The weight or strain of your belongings needs to be less than their value or you should get rid of your belongings. Read more about how to change your mindset here.

Corral Like-with-Like
Sorting your belongings so that similar items live together allows you to shop based on need and locate your items so they are easy to access and easy to put away. You can use containers, like our bins, to corral items that are similar. However, we urge you to think back to step 2 (Find Balance) and not overbuy containers or over sort your categories of items.
