On the Wednesday podcast, I get to talk with members of the Organize 365­® community as they share the challenges, progress, missteps and triumphs along their organizing journey. You can see and hear transformation in action. I look forward to helping YOU learn the skill of organization, too!

In this episode, I introduce you to Pamela A. to discuss her organizing journey and transformation. Pamela spent many years looking for her solutions to get herself and her home organized. With two small boys and a husband, she was on an endless search for organizing solutions. 

She found the Organize 365® Podcast through a Google search. She was hooked and binged all the old episodes while driving to and from work. That’s SO many episodes. If you are also new around here - I highly recommend using our Organize 365® Podcast Playlists to find what you’re looking for.

Flash forward to today - Pamela’s boys are now 27 and 33 years old. Pamela works full-time at a hospital. She has been living in the same house for the past 29 years (similar to me). There are upsides and downsides of staying in the same house for so long. When you move, it forces you to make decisions about your stuff. Pamela and I discuss that over the years she has accumulated a lot of stuff - that’s not hers. 

Pamela’s house is home to all her sons’ stuff, her grandparents’ stuff and now her own mother’s belongings as well. It’s a lot. Pamela watched the video I made where I show the process of organizing a storage room and she said she’s going to need a dumpster like we used in this video. Watch it for free.

Listen in to this interview to hear our in-depth conversation about:

• Why do we keep all of this stuff?
• How much should we realistically be keeping of things like children’s artwork, books, American Girls, Legos, etc?
• How to organize a storage room and how long will it stay organized?
• Why we use our basements and storage rooms for delayed decision making and how to avoid this in the future.
