Speaker 1:
Well, how are those New Year's resolutions going? One of my New Year's resolutions has been to get better sleep, and as I researched different tips to getting good sleep, I came across result after result about organization helping with sleep. Now, I totally buy this, as this is one of the things I ask my kids for is simply to leave the house cleaned up before they go to bed, as it seems to truly affect my sleep. Now, as one who loves to organize for New Year's, there is just something about starting the New Year with organized cupboards and closets and even the car cleaned out and organized. But I was surprised to see the additional benefits of keeping things organized, as I found on SelectHelpcom. One it reduces stress, including that cortisol level, which is the body's primary stress hormone that can often add to our weight gain too. The second thing is that it promotes a healthier diet, and that's so that we aren't munching all the time, you know, at the late hours or early morning or in between, but also giving our body the rest it needs to do its thing. The third thing was it increases productivity at work, so easily finding things or getting started on projects. And then, fourth, being organized can improve your relationships. This one kind of made me laugh at first, but I can see it. I've watched one of my kids frantically look for something before, and then they blame the sibling for it being moved to a different spot, only to then later discover they had accidentally moved it and not realize that they had done so. So it affected that relationship there for a moment for sure.
Speaker 1:
Now, according to MindToolscom, being organized and operating in a generally clutter-free environment comes with a greater sense of control, which is a vital part of stress management, resilience and overall well-being. Now, for some, the thought of organizing is overwhelming. I get it. So we have a certified professional home organizer, maria Grow, with us today to share her tips and tricks and inspiration in taking those first steps in getting organized. Now, maria is not the Pinterest-worthy closet. Her mantra is real people live here. Maria is a wife and a mom and a certified EMT. She runs a chaotic home full of teens and pets, so she gets it. Welcome, maria. We're so happy to have you on today.
Speaker 2:
Oh, thank you so much, Holly.
Speaker 1:
I'm thrilled to be here Now. As the saying goes, the best way to get something done is to begin. So let's just start right there, at the bottom, that foundation of organization, it seems to obviously be that of disorganization. So what seems to be at the root of such chaos?
Speaker 2:
Actually, most people who come to me and ask for help to get organized people who have cluttered homes, stress in their home, that kind of thing are perfectionists, and you wouldn't think that people who are disorganized are perfectionists. But the way that it actually breaks down is they're waiting for the perfect system, they're waiting for the perfect time to do something, and until they have those things, they don't do anything, and then the projects and the socks and the piles just start adding up and adding up and their home gets more and more disorganized and because of their perfectionism, they don't know where to start. So that's one of the things that I like to say is to let go of your perfectionism.
Speaker 1:
That's interesting, I agree, though, because everyone has that clutter drawer right or that clutter pile, and mine. When I look at it, I think, well, I'm going to start this system for that or this system for that, and it does. It has to be perfect, but all it does is grow more of a pile, so that completely makes sense, and absolutely.
Speaker 2:
And you think that if you get the right thing from the container store to contain your pile, that it'll be perfect. Well then you have to make sure that it fits in the box, and then you have to click it, and then you have to order it, and then you're waiting for it to come, and then, when you finally do it, you have to find time to put that pile in the box. And so these are all these steps that are going to sabotage this project, when really all you need is five minutes to address the clutter.
Speaker 1:
OK, so what are the fundamentals of organizing?
Speaker 2:
So the way that I do it is, I have five steps. First of all, I plan, and that is taking measurements, making sure, like in a space, how you want to use the space. If somebody comes to me and says my family room is really disorganized and I really don't know what to do, I say, well, what do you want to do in that family room? Well, how do you want to use it? Is it for kids toys, so you can do yoga? What is the goal of cleaning up this space? So, do we need big wall organizers? Do we need baskets? What do we need? So we need to plan.
Speaker 2:
The next thing is to categorize. So, as we categorize, as we take things out and we start pulling things out, we put them like with like, and that way we see what we have. So, in particularly like a closet, you would take out all your shirts and put them together and then you'd see, wow, I have a lot of white shirts, I don't need to buy any more white shirts. Or wow, I have a lot of shorts and I have three children. I should stop wearing shorts. I really don't look good in shorts anymore. Like, I don't even wear those anymore. Why do I have so many shorts.
Speaker 2:
So from those categories you can start saying that's where I can start decluttering, which is the next step, which is by far the most important step. You must declutter, you have to get rid of things, and those are the things that are no longer serving you, you don't like, you wouldn't buy again and are probably broken. And then the next step is organization. That's when you find places for it. Everything should have a home. So you put the hangers, you put things on hangers, you fold things, you put it away in drawers, you get drawer organizers, you get bins to put things in, you maybe even little bags to put small pieces in.
Speaker 2:
And then my final step of the fundamentals is I elevate. I always make sure that I leave a space more beautiful. So, going back to that family room, if someone has says I just want to walk into my family room and feel a sense of peace and calm at the end of the day and I say, well, that's great. And during the course of organization and decluttering, the point of organization and decluttering is not to get rid of stuff. I think the point of decluttering is to find the good stuff in your house, the stuff that's gotten lost under all the clutter, like your favorite mementos from your honeymoon, like your wedding photo, like the toys that your kids just absolutely love to play with. And so what I do is, before I go, maybe in that family room, I make a little vignette on the coffee table of all these great things that we've found that are gonna make you happy after I leave.
Speaker 1:
I love how you kind of you went full circle with that and in a way that I wouldn't have anticipated. When I tend to look at a room and I go, okay, how do I want it to look, I like how you start with what do you want to do, what are you going to accomplish in that room, but yet you still come back at the end with how it feels and how it looks. So a different perspective which I can really embrace in that, and that was my light bulb moment of, yeah, what do you want to do in it? And then end with how do you want it to look and feel. I really like that. Now you have mantras for organization, right?
Speaker 2:
Yes, I do. I do. I love mantras. I think they're really helpful. You can put them in your planner, you can put them on your phone background, you can put them on a sticky note and put them in your kitchen to really, because organizing is about changing your mindset. So many people are like I'm just not an organized person, I'm always going to be untidy, and so embracing a different way of thinking is very important. So I have five mantras. One is it's not a bargain if you don't need it. So that is in particularly important because I'll give a personal example.
Speaker 2:
I am going through a low buy challenge personally myself we can talk more about that later where I'm trying to spend less, particularly on home goods and at home goods. And I am trying to spend less and I was at Michael's craft store in the fall and I saw this beautiful garland of pumpkins and it was only $10. And I loved it and I thought it was so cute and I was like, oh my gosh, it's only $10, it's perfect. But then I said, no, I'm on a low buy and I'm trying to be more minimal with my decor, so this really I don't need this, even though it is only $10. So it was a bargain, but I didn't need it so I didn't get it. So that's my first mantra.
Speaker 2:
The second mantra is actually from Peter Walsh, who is a famous organizer. He used to be on the Oprah Winfrey show. He's had a bunch of shows himself. He says put it there now. That's an idea that if you can do a task in two minutes or less, you should do it. So when you come in from the cold or the garage, hang up your coat, put away your shoes. If you are sitting on the couch and you're headed towards bed, take your teacup and put it in the dishwasher. Don't just leave it on the coffee table for you to find the next morning. Do those mini tasks that make you a tidy person. Think like a tidy person would and just do it as soon as you can.
Speaker 2:
The next one is authenticity over aesthetic. This one I really like because I use elevation as part of my fundamentals. I think aesthetic is very important, but it's not the most important thing. I think being authentic is important, and one of the things that I teach my clients is using drawer organizers. Drawer organizers are a game changer, but you don't need to spend $10 on plastic drawer organizers from the container store. You can just as easily cut up a cereal box, and to the right size, and use an old cereal box as a drawer organizer for your pens and pencils and your batteries, and that works just as well and it's free. So it doesn't have to be, when you open your drawer, a home edit beautiful aesthetic thing. It can just be authentic to what you need it to work as.
Speaker 2:
The next one is five minutes matter and that is something that I teach my clients all the time. The point of five minutes is that you make a start, because if you are working on decluttering and it gets overwhelming, it can get very overwhelming. If you say I'm going to declutter this weekend, I'm gonna declutter my whole house and organize my whole house, that's overwhelming. That can be anxiety producing. But if you say I'm going to tackle my junk drawer, I'm gonna set a timer for five minutes, I'm gonna put on my favorite Taylor Swift song and I'm going to take out all the batteries and I'm gonna cut up some cereal boxes for some drawer organizers and boom, I'm ready to go. That's five minutes. You've done an incredible job in five minutes and you've made an impact in your home.
Speaker 2:
Imagine what the next five minutes will do and then finally embrace good enough. Perfectionism, like we were talking about earlier, is really the killer of organization. If you just wait till everything is perfect, you're never gonna start. So if you embrace, good enough and you say, okay, well, all of my hangers don't match. They're not all the perfect black velvet hanger. I still have some other hangers left over from other projects, but that's good enough. All of my clothes are hung up. They're not on the chair. I'm feeling really good about myself. All of my clothes are hung up, so that's good enough. That's good enough right now. So those are my mantras.
Speaker 1:
Yeah, I like that. So you mentioned that the two minute, put away something, five minutes, even set a timer, so forth. What are some other habits that we should be implementing daily, such as those?
Speaker 2:
Ooh well, my signature trademark is I do four daily tasks and people think I'm absolutely nutball crazy, but I have a routine that keeps my house organized and clean after dinner. So what I will say is these work as maintenance. People are always asking me how do you, once you organize, how do you maintain your house? And it's about good habits, and one of the things that keeps you maintaining your organization is if you do like a five minute pickup every day. So you set a timer and you put the pillows back on the couch, you put the toys away and as you do it more and more it becomes easier and easier. Maybe the first day it'll take 20 minutes, but the second day it'll take 10, the third day it'll take five minutes and if you just maintain that habit it'll take five minutes. So my four top tidy tips are after dinner, I always do the dishes.
Speaker 2:
Dishes are non-negotiable. If somebody asks me what's the number one thing that they can do to keep their house clean and organized, I always say do the dishes, because dishes are so demeaning to stare at you in the sink and they just make you feel so terrible that you haven't done anything in your house. If you let them pile up there comes with a lot of emotion with dishes. So if you can do the dishes every night, that is really important. So I do the dishes, I wipe off the counters, I clean the sink. And I clean the sink by doing a little sprinkle of baking soda, a little drizzle of dish soap, and then I scrub, scrub, scrub, and then I spray it and it just glows, it's just fresh and it's sparkly, and then I vacuum every night.
Speaker 2:
I have dogs and I have teenagers, so there's a lot of hair, and so I vacuum every night just to kind of keep my house at zero. And those are my four tidy tasks that I do every night and it really keeps my house under control. I mean, the whole. The bedrooms could be a mess, the there could be things waiting on the stairs to go upstairs, you know. But the kitchen and the living room are tidy and those really set the tone for the house.
Speaker 1:
You know I couldn't agree with you more. The dishes and the sink drive me crazy. In fact, something I've used before with my children is one was in charge of loading, one was in charge of unloading and it just it was not working cohesively to be able to do that and I would walk in and it would drive me crazy. So I'm like, fine, we're not using any real dishes, then you guys get to use paper plates and plastic forks. And the only thing I found was it didn't bother them at all, it just bothered me. So I had to kind of up the ante a little bit and go, okay, we need to reevaluate this.
Speaker 1:
And so a different child now loads and unloads. But they're a little incentivized too because it matters to me and I refuse to be the one doing it all the time Because, yeah, a chore that they can do, but I want to eat off of clean dishes and I want to have a clean kitchen area. So I love that you do that. I think that's so applicable and so true in my own home is those dishes are such an eyesore, so absolutely.
Speaker 2:
Yeah, absolutely. I have a client who has ADHD. I've actually become certified in helping clients with ADHD and organizing for neurodiverse people is very different than organizing for a neurotypical people. And I have a client who I started working with and sometimes what I just do for her is sit with her while she is doing the dishes. She just needs somebody to be with her while she does her tasks. So I'll be like breaking down boxes and we'll be just chatting and she'll be doing her dishes. And we figured out that she doesn't like doing her dishes because of the sensory issues. So I got her some gloves. So now she has gloves and she has a scrubber and doing dishes is so much easier for her now. She never really figured out that it was a sensory issue, so I'll be breaking down the boxes and then we'll take a nice big run out to the garbage and we'll get her kitchen out under control and then maybe we'll tackle one other space during our session and her house just is glowing because she has a partner.
Speaker 1:
Yeah, that brings up so many questions. I'm gonna try and not get squirreled off but maybe loop back, because I think that's a really good point that you just brought up on those who maybe need a different way to approach some of the tasks. But first off, before I get squirreled off, how about those rapid fire organization tips For those who just don't feel that they have the time to organize?
Speaker 2:
Yeah, I would say so rapid fire. I would say start where you can, and 15 minutes is a good section of time to tackle a project If you can put on a timer or some music or a podcast that only takes 15 minutes and give yourself a chunk of time to do that. And then identify what's bothering you the most. Is it the kitchen counter that has become the clutter catcher for all the mail? Is it the living room? Is it a drawer that doesn't open because it has so much stuff in it?
Speaker 2:
Start with what's bothering you the most and then kind of go from there and but only spend 15 minutes doing it. Because, again, like what I was saying, if you think that it's going to take all weekend, like tackling the garage and you get your husband to rent a truck or so you can haul away stuff or get a dumpster and you really commit everybody to working all weekend in the garage, that's so daunting. But if you say I can do this for 15 minutes and really make a real impact in my house, then you get again what I was saying about mindset. You can shift your mindset and say I'm successful at this, I've made an impact and now I can move on to something else.
Speaker 1:
Yeah, that makes sense. Now let's kind of go back to what we were just touching on about those who might need a little bit of extra attention or different approaches to organizations, such as those who might have anxiety or depression or PTSD or even, as you mentioned, adhd. What advice would you have for them to get organized?
Speaker 2:
Yeah. So, especially for neurodiverse people, the thing that I have found is that you have to organize with them. You can't organize for them. And so for a neurotypical person, someone might hire me to organize their pantry, and so I would go in and take everything out, put bins and baskets in, organize where their pasta is bam bam bam, and then an hour later say, look, client, here's your new pantry. But you can't do that with a neurodiverse person. So I would say organize with them, because they have their own system.
Speaker 2:
They've lived their entire lives coming up with systems that work for them, and it may seem messy to someone else, but for them it works. For instance, if they keep their pot holders on the kitchen counter, there's a real reason why they do that, because if you put them away and then when they go to open the oven and take something hot out, they don't know where they are. They're just going to take the hot thing out and hurt themselves. And my client with ADHD explained this to me and she was saying if I don't know, so we found a way to hook, to put a hook out. So it was a visual.
Speaker 2:
I find that people who are neurodiverse are really visual organizers. They have to be out. That has to. Drawers aren't the way to go for clothes, for kitchen supplies. We got a cube system for all of her shirts and we folded them, I color coded them, we made them look really nice. But they were in open shelves so she could just scan for which one she was looking for, because before they were all on her floor she didn't know that she didn't want to put them away in drawers because they'd just be away to her and she'd never find them.
Speaker 1:
Oh, great points, Great points.
Speaker 2:
So visual learning, visual organizing, I think, is my major takeaway from that.
Speaker 1:
Okay, okay, now let's pivot a bit, as we are into this new year. We don't always focus on just organizing the house, but also getting our finances organized. So what tips might you have for such financial organization?
Speaker 2:
Yes. So financial organization is a great one. I've had a lot of financial organizers on my podcast and we've had some great conversations. But the thing that I've taken away is and something that I've been doing for about a year is something called a low buy challenge. It's very similar to a no buy challenge, but I would never be able to completely no buy.
Speaker 2:
Mama likes getting her nails done, and so I definitely would recommend a low buy challenge to anybody who wants to get maybe their spending under control, who wants to see if they can adopt a more minimal lifestyle, because once you get your spending under control and you have more mindful spending, the clutter becomes less in your home, because you're not just going to home goods and wandering around and bringing random things in. You actually are thinking about mindfully what you're going to bring in. So a low buy challenge has a lot of rules. You have yeses that you are willing to spend money on and you have no's that are rules that you're definitely not going to spend money on, and so some of my yeses were I'm going to get my nails done. Some of my no's were I'm not going to get my blowouts anymore, let's say.
Speaker 2:
But you also have to have a why. So is it that you want to travel more? You want to save up for travel? Do you want to save up for a home improvement project? Do you want to have easier conversations with your husband about your credit card bill? You know what's your why. So that you can come up with those things. And being more mindful about your spending, I think, is the best financial advice that I can give.
Speaker 1:
And we have a I guess you could say a mantra for financial spending here in our home of love it or leave it, and it's really helped. And you know, if my son is looking at a shirt or something and same thing, he'll go oh but I don't love it, so I'm going to leave it. And we do that. So you don't get home with all of these things and regret some of those buys and get into debt and so forth, but a love it, leave it type of mantra. So those are great, great tips. Thanks for sharing those. So for listeners who may be overwhelmed with all of this that we're talking about and they need to go back and replay it again and again and again, what advice would you have for them? And maybe just how to start, good habits and organization and maybe just those top three steps to get started?
Speaker 2:
Yeah. So I would say identify what's bothering you the most. So that would be your plan Come up with a pad of paper and identify, maybe just list all about what's bothering you the most, what areas and it can also be habits too, like it's the countertops that are cluttered, but it's also the fact that I don't do the dishes every night and you can identify habits and areas of your home that are bothering you. So that would be the first step. The second step would be prioritize 15 minutes to start tackling certain areas of your home, one 15-minute session at a time and try not to do any more than that. You can get a lot done in 15 minutes.
Speaker 2:
I really respect Marie Kondo. I think she's wonderful and she's done a lot for my industry. But a tidying festival that takes weeks and weeks and you have to take a vacation and do it all at once is overwhelming for so many people. And I watch her show and I see just the desperation on these people's faces and they're just so overwhelmed with the amount of work they have to get done. Because in 15 minutes you can do that on a work day. You can work a full day, have your dinner and then after dinner. Take 15 minutes and clean off your countertops and make that a goal for yourself in the new year.
Speaker 2:
And then the third thing is, I would say embrace. Good enough, it's okay if you slide and a piece of mail ends up on your countertop again. Just resolve to try better the next time and try these new habits that you have. You've learned a lot of techniques throughout your life to live your life, and so now you're trying to maybe unwire some of those techniques and learn to be a more tidy and organized person. So give yourself a little grace and remember that it's not going to happen in one day.
Speaker 1:
Good advice. Good advice. Now, listeners, if you are needing additional help on some of that goal setting, feel free to check out Holly's Highlights podcast, season two, three, four episodes one, one and one. Starting off each of the new years we've really dived more into that and what goal setting can look like and helping you process all of that. But then I cannot highlight Marie's podcast enough. I've gotten on and listened to several of her podcast episodes about organization and she is just a pro and can help you, whether it be going focusing into the closet or into different aspects of your home or of your life. So I highly recommend doing that. But, maria, how else can our listeners connect further with you?
Speaker 2:
Yeah, so I do have a podcast. It's called Bliss this House Home Organization with Maria Grove. It's on all major podcast platforms so you can find me there. And then I'm on Instagram at BlissThisHouse underscore, ct, which is probably the best way to reach me. I work in Connecticut but I take virtual clients, so if someone is interested in working with me virtually, we can get on the computer and then you can put me in your closet and I can walk you through all my steps and we can become best friends and I can help you through any challenge that you might have in your home. And my website is wwwBlissThisHouseBlogscom and, as the name suggests, I have a great blog on there and you can get really inspired by that.
Speaker 1:
Great. We'll make sure to include all of that in the show notes also. Now, maria, here on Holly's Highlights podcast, we have a signature question of if you could go back and encourage, inspire or equip yourself as a child, what would you tell your young self?
Speaker 2:
Oh, this was a good one. I have never really thought of this. This was a tough one and I had to think about it. And I would say twofold, two answers, holly, if that's all right. First is I became a practicing Buddhist about three years ago and I left my Catholic faith. It was a long story, but I became a practicing Buddhist and I have become a better mother, a calmer person, just able and equipped to handle stress and all of the challenges that life has thrown at me. And I wish that I had found Buddhism much earlier in my life, at least just some of the practices of Buddhism. Maybe I wasn't ready for everything, but if I could have found meditation even earlier in my life, I wish that I had done that. And then the second thing is I have a non-binary kiddo who is a 19-year-old adult now, and I would say that I would tell my younger self that, as many challenges as we had with them growing up, that you were the right mom for the job.
Speaker 1:
Isn't that amazing? Just the things that we learn in life, that we can look back and now talk truth to ourselves, right?
Speaker 2:
Yeah, absolutely. There were a lot of challenges, but I think that I was definitely the right mom for the job. I couldn't have handled it and another mom wouldn't have loved them the same way that I did.
Speaker 1:
Well, thank you so much, Maria, for sharing with us today and being on here. I really appreciate your time and your talent, your expertise in sharing it with us, so thank you for connecting in that way.
Speaker 2:
Oh, thank you so much. My pleasure. Thank you so much for having me on your podcast. It was a lovely conversation.
Speaker 1:
As the saying goes, for every minute spent organizing, an hour is earned. So here's to making the changes in organizing where and how you see fit, so you can save time going forward and enjoy a more stress-free, healthier and productive life.
