Deinfluencing Organizing
I see a lot of content on social media that is ☼pretty, aesthetic☼ organizing, where people buy all of these cool organizers from IKEA or Container Store or wherever so their pantries and closets look ♦satisfying♦, and that's all well and good if that's your motivation, but I think putting the emphasis on matchy-matchy, "professional" looking organization is wasteful, both in money and in resources, since most people already have some containers they can probably use.
Here I am showing you a lot of things that I use to organize, including cat litter buckets, vinyl bags that blankets or something came in, old schoolbags, gift boxes, food containers, etc.
I'm not saying the purpose-bought containers don't have their place (I show you a few I have at the beginning), but don't let it trip you up when you are trying to declutter and organize thinking that you should get these things first. Do the decluttering part, see what's left, and then make your decisions on if you really need something new, or if you have enough things you can use to organize your space already. Often, part of your clutter is also part of your solution! :)

I also have containers.But I don't have purpose to buy them.
I saw these trends on youtube shorts. IMO it's better to use what we already have to organize instead buying new. Keep on this kind of content, always interesting to watch 😊
Thank you! :)
Someone like me does not have enough things so I’m trying hard to buy so many things that I need
I’ve never used any declutter service in my whole life
For sure, I understand that. Sometimes clutter here is because people don't have what they need or they used to not have what they need, so they save everything even if it's broken/doesn't fit/etc. because they don't know when/if they'll be able to replace it. There is definitely a common thing where people come from a poor childhood but make it as an adult and then end up in a cluttered home because they are like, making up for what they didn't have in childhood.
And that is why we must always be careful of the type of product we see on the social media
Yup! So much pressure to buy things you don't need.
Adopting organizing in the office and at home enable a person to keep vacant and having everything in it nice places.
