We’re tackling home organization! Most youtube videos will all tell you the same organization advice – “buy this gadget or this hack” – but there’s a reason that those steps still leave you with a messy home. Here is WHY!
Very excited to share this highly requested video!

Cupboard doors, and a container with a lid, are "too much effort" for me to put stuff away.
Opening a door, to face a stack of bins, with lids… that better be rare seasonal stuff.
I took the doors off the cupboards where I need to store stuff in containers with lids. Less aesthetic, but if it doesn’t get put away, that’d even worse.
I really wish Iโd seen this video about a year ago, but in your defence you released it about a year ago so thatโs on me ๐ But Iโm so glad I came across it and it has totally inspired me to corral my chaos. And can I just say HOW FUCKING *NICE* IT IS to receive this sort of advice from somebody who doesnโt look like theyโve arrived to perform an exorcism, or from someone who advocates colour-coding their M&Ms because they can definitely afford to pay someone to sort their M&Ms by colour (side note: dream job!), but from someone who is (possibly, implied) as being chaotic as I am. As we all are. Thank you. I like you. I REALLY like you. ๐ฅน That is all.
What a great video! love your tips!
If magic eraser canโt get it off itโs not coming off
I’ve been "corralling" without even realizing it. Whenever there’s too much clutter in the kitchen, I gather it all up on a cutting board. Of course, that stuff usually needs to *actually* go somewhere, but HEY! It visually helps
I love the clear containers in my closet for storing all my work accessories and home improvement tools. All I have to do is glance at the containers and I can instantly find what I’m looking for, plus they stack so I can put the most-used items in the top container and the least-used items in the bottom container. It’s the best home organization product I’ve _ever_ bought. Yeah, I know it’s kind of sad to be enthusiastic about home organization, but it’s a battle I’ve been fighting for decades and now I’m winning. ๐
This is the ONLY organization video I have ever found helpful
I originally saw either this video or another of your videos a while ago, and clicked on it but didn’t like it. I guess I thought you were too brash or honest, and I just left it. Then now you’re one of my favorite YouTubers, and a great inspiration for an aspiring interior designer. Thank you for being yourself and being so awesome!
Put old socks on a kid’s hands and let them dust! Or buy them a small handheld vacuum lol
One of the reasons I instantly cringe when I see the surgical precision organizers isnโt because I think itโs lame, but because thatโs usually where I see the most โthis satisfies my OCDโ or โIโm a little OCD about____โ. And as someone with debilitating OCD that is nothing like this, itโs god awful to watch. Thank you for your tips. Iโve never been diagnosed with ADHD but I have many, many of the same struggles as people describe so I am always looking for practical tips
me searching… How do I make my room less drab on a budget…. suggestions : this is why your house looks messy…. looks at living room full of unpacked boxes… I feel called out right now.
"Kids frickin’ like cleaning." Probably different for girls, but for boys the attraction wears off around age seven or eight. And before that age, you end up spending extra time fixing their attempts to "help." Ask me how I know.
"There’s nothing we own that visually we’d already want in that open space." Girl. GIRL. GUUUUURL. I have so many fucking books. I can sort them in rainbow order for aesthetic purposes. BOOKS, MY DUDE, BOOOOKS. (All kidding aside, love your channel, I’m building a tiny home and setting aside all these notes for when I set it up.)

First time watching your channel, being myself in the renos, i will definitely use a couple of tips if not all๐ thanks for sharing ๐

i hate how apartments arenโt always built with storage in mind
If you create an intentional drop zone. How do you keep people from dumping everything into them? Especially stuff that is NOT supposed to get there. It leaves the zone unusable…
Damn, that pretend marriage doesn’t sound like it is working out for you. I hope things get better before you get a pretend divorce.
I’ve never seen ฬถ(ฬถaฬถ ฬถdฬถiฬถmฬถoฬถnฬถdฬถ ฬถiฬถnฬถ ฬถtฬถhฬถeฬถ ฬถfฬถlฬถeฬถsฬถhฬถ)ฬถ the word "coral" as a verb before. I googled and find out, that a tip "coral your crap" was really "corral your crap". "Corral", not "coral". If a mistake in the text is made for humorous reasons, I apologize for the correction.
Do you realize there is formaldahyde in magic erasers??
Wou ur lovely very informative hv learnt alot thank u
absolutely love, love, LOVE your red wine tip. years ago, it used to be really hard for me to get rid of my stuff bc of the guilt iโd feel about purging sentimental items or things that โhad a storyโ, thankfully iโve gotten better at it now, but i think itโs such a wonderful tip to think about when coming to those hard-to-get-gone stuff.
I am an older lady, a recent widow, if that tells about how old. I am grateful I found your channel. I like your tone of telling it like it is, unapologetically. I was getting fed up with other channels I found while searching tips on how to declutter and organize. I really like your suggestions. Please, don’t change ๐
How do you sort and declutter smaller items? I struggle with this and itโs what tends to end up laying around on tables.
Great video! Very helpful tips on here. Thanks
I laughed at the "pare thing in groups of 3" because people always laugh at me that I always put everything in 3s because I find it satisfying and I didn’t know why๐

Thank you Caroline for these incredible tips!
This video gave me virgo vibesโจ
Thank you! That was very helpful
Your great personality made this fun to watch. *subscribed*. ๐งก๐
i HATE velvet hangers- itโs hard to get the clothes off and put them back on, i love those cheap plastic hangers
Im new fan of yours lol.. Im minimalist but still learnt a lot from you ๐..
you had me at M&M’s………
Guest room. Closet we never really access. I wish ๐ข tiny apartment life
There was an episode of Marie Kondo where she did elaborate more on the whole "sparks joy" bit, especially for a sentimental item, and what she asked this person was: Is this something you want to keep as part of your life going forward? I found that had helped me part ways with things I found sentimental but had no place in my home for side from being tucked away somewhere collecting dust.
This video is oddly entertaining
Why didn’t I find your channel earlier? OMG I am such a big organizing freak! I absolutely loved your lazy suzan recommendation. I would love to see more items like this that you recommend especially for the jewellery and beads. Oh and also the chargers and wires they make such a mess.
Omg, i love you ๐ฎ๐ฎ๐ฎ. Thank you
I feel seen. wierd spaces in apartment living, pretend married and kids LMFAO, and valet rods????I’m not a slob, I just live like one….ADHD is real but this realness could help. ( and maybe it was a she who invented the magic eraser? ) love your dress
When I discovered you don’t even have a family to get on board, this became one of those bachelor/ette parenting advice videos…๐ ๐คฃ ๐
ok, this is the most helpful and funniest video I’ve seen on the subject of tidying up ๐ค๐๐๐ You are awesome!!!
Love this video ๐ซ Major thanks to you ๐ซถ๐ป
The most annoying weird space for me is CORNER CABINETS in the kitchen. What is the best way to organize things without crawling into my cabinets for everything??
Really good idea thinking of spilled red wine!
Whatโs a magic eraser?? Iโm from Denmark.. Scandinavia ๐
Love this so much. I appreciate your no nonsense approach and good sense, tempered by your warmth and willingness to be vulnerable in ALL your videos. Also love your humour. Keep posting!
Tip 3 and I’m already commenting. YES! This is it! I need to accept it…
