Why Getting Organized Feels So Hard

We all have our version of “I’ll finally ___ once I’m organized.” Maybe it’s hosting that dinner party, parking in the garage again, reading with your kids, or just matching your socks before the dryer eats another pair.

But life happens—and so does clutter. And before you know it, your stuff is running the show.

Some of us are in the middle of a big life transition—downsizing, moving, caregiving, or grieving. These moments come with overwhelm, emotions, and memories that make letting go even harder.

Others are looking ahead, thinking: What am I leaving behind? You want your legacy to be clear and meaningful—not a chaotic collection of boxes, photos, and “what even is this?” objects your kids will have to sort through.

Wherever you are right now, we get it. Because chances are we’ve been there too.
