The LITL System in Action: An Average Day Organizing
I get asked a lot: what is like to spend a day with an organizing client?
And while every project is a little bit different (because every client's needs and preferences are different), after more than 17 years in business, there are some common themes.
Most people call me when they have already tried to manage their stuff and reclaim their space, and something isn't working. That can feel like decision-fatigue, a compounding sense of overwhelm, or a change in life that is causing them to look at their space differently.
That was the case with Lexi, who called about organizing a catch-all closet space right off of her bedroom. As a single mother of five kids, this room has served many purposes over the years, and it was time to reclaim it as her own.
She was kind enough to invite in the cameras for the day, as we went through The LITL System:
STEP 1: Let It Go
Lisa helps Lexi identify the things she knows she no longer wants or needs, clearing away that first layer of clutter.
STEP 2: Intentional
With a clearer view of what’s left, Lexi can make more thoughtful decisions about what deserves a place in the room and why.
STEP 3: Transform Your Space
As the clutter disappears and the room takes shape, the transformation becomes about more than just the physical space.
STEP 4: Love It/Live It!
The goal isn’t simply an organized room. It’s creating a space filled with the things you love and/or need. A space that works for your life and feels good to live in.
I am always happy to see how the space looks before and after, but I love how it feels for our clients. Lexi said it perfectly:
"I let go of a lot! Everything here, I have intentionally decided to keep, and it feels so good," Lexi told me. "You could live in it, and I'm going to come in here way more often. I love it."
This is an average day for The Organizing Mentors, but there's nothing average about how this feels for our clients. Every project and space are different, but we're always looking to deliver that same feeling of satisfaction in a space they have reclaimed.
If we can help you do the same, in a closet or even your whole house, call me today!
