The way we organize keeps changing with every decade we live. Here's a decade-by-decade map, from your 40s to your 90s and beyond, so you can organize for the season you're in.

The way we organize keeps changing with every decade we live, and what worked in your twenties will drive you a little bonkers in your forties. Organizing isn't one fixed skill you either have or you don't. In this episode I take you on a decade-by-decade map of organizing at every age, so you can stop beating yourself up and get clearer on what actually matters for the season you're in right now.

Here's what we get into:

  • Why being organized isn't one skill you either have or don't, and why the target keeps moving as you grow
  • How your kids learn organizing by watching you, not from decluttering drills
  • The one question to ask in your twenties: does this way of doing things fit my life, or did I just inherit it?
  • Why the busy middle decades call for simple systems, so you're not carrying every detail in your head
  • How to let go of the things you're keeping out of guilt, and keep the memory without keeping the object
  • Why organizing later in life becomes less about tidy and more about story, connection, and legacy
