That's right: it doesn't stress me out, it energizes me.
But I'm not a professional organizer. I'm a regular, working person with a particular set of skills, who can help where you struggle.
It started on a local Facebook Buy Nothing group. I offered to help folks declutter their homes, for free. Dozens said yes. After meeting with about 10 people & families, I realized there are a lot of folks out there who don't need a checklist, or someone to do the work for them. They need a person in the room to give them permission to make change, and guidance on how.
New York apartments are their own beast.
No basement. No garage. No attic. Every single thing we own has to live in the same ~500 square feet where we sleep, work, eat, and decompress. There's nowhere to put the overflow. So it stacks. It piles. It ends up in a corner you stop seeing.
Most organizing advice was written for people with a spare room, or two, or 10. That's not us. I live in a studio apartment with a dog, so I know first-hand our unique challenges.
