EP 15: The 7 Pillars of Organizing: Are you Doing All of Them?

“This is the foundation for living the good life.” On today’s episode, host Corinne Morahan shares the seven pillars that she guarantees will help you Get Organized for Good. She’ll tell you what you need to stop doing, what you need to start doing, and what you need to commit to doing long term in order to start living the life of your dreams. These pillars are at the heart of what you’ll learn when you enroll in Grid + Glam’s Home Organizing Membership, where thousands of people have completely changed their lives through decluttering and implementing Corinne’s frameworks for organization in their homes.

Instilling these pillars in your life will help you reclaim your time and start to live life in the moment rather than be anchored down by stuff. By learning to buy less, you’ll only increase the pleasure of shopping. How can you get the whole family on board, how do you make your space so pretty you’ll never want to clutter it again, and what is the one pillar that keeps all the others standing? Find out in today’s discussion.

If you’re ready to be radically self-honest and make organizing a priority, you can start to reclaim your time to spend it on the things that truly matter to you. Join today’s episode to learn how to enroll in Grid + Glam Home Organizing Membership.

Quotes

“While I have worked on my perfectionist tendencies—I call myself ‘a recovering perfectionist’—I am still not quite a recovering people pleaser, I still definitely have that piece of me inside, and I didn’t want to let people down. Yet, I was letting myself down, I was letting my family down and somehow that was OK.” (4:16 | Corinne Morahan)
“Life is lived in the everyday moments, but we don’t really enjoy them. We’re focused on buying the next thing, the next product that’s going to make our life better, rather than putting our time and energy into experiences and in showing up for our life.” (6:31 | Corinne Morahan)
“Everyone in your household is responsible for participating, or at least supporting, the effort.” (10:22 | Corinne Morahan)
“I have seen from thousands of case studies that when our space looks pretty, we are so much more likely to keep it pretty.” (12:35 | Corinne Morahan)
