How to Optimize & Maintain an Organized Home (So It Actually Lasts)

Learning how to optimize and maintain an organized home is what turns organizing from a repeating project into a system that actually supports your life. If you’ve already decluttered and organized—but things slowly fell apart—you didn’t fail. You just stopped mid-cycle.

In this video, we’re continuing our organizing mini-series and walking through steps four and five: optimization and maintenance—the most overlooked (and most powerful) parts of the organizing process.

💫 You’ll learn:
-Why most organizing systems quietly break down
-How optimization fine-tunes spaces you’ve already organized
-How clutter patterns reveal what’s not working
-What maintenance really looks like (and what it’s not)
-How to stop reorganizing and start living in your space
