Tatiana Samotoina

Once upon a time, as a child, I tried by hook or by crook to avoid the responsibilities of cleaning the house. My closet was a thicket in the woods of Narnia.

After marriage and the birth of children, nothing has changed, except that it was no longer possible to escape from household duties. Therefore, with doom on my face, I took apart the rubble every week and with fear awaited a new cleaning.

Intuitively, I began to grope for methods and ways to put things in order less often and spend less time on it. The road will be mastered by the walking one. So I eventually found a wonderful teacher - Tatiana Danilyak, who showed me the light in the chaos of disorder and endless cleaning.

Now I confidently keep order under control not only in my house, but also help others to defeat it. Cleaning, order and cleanliness - these are the words that no longer make me cold shiver and the desire to run away. I just know how to enjoy putting things in order, how to make this order forever live in the house, how to make even a very small space convenient and comfortable, and how to do it for you.

Services and prices:

As far back as I can remember myself as a child, I always helped to put things in order and clean up for my mother and grandmother. I didn’t even help, but did it on my own. I didn’t have to ask, force or motivate me. When I saw the mess, my hands itched. I was about 9 years old.

Nobody taught me how to clean, since my mother worked in a bank, and my grandmother “kept the household”. I did it intuitively and could start a marafet in the kitchen from morning till night, arrange things in the closet and even organize tools in the country. For all this, I received admiring eyes, loud splashes in the hands of my grandmother and my mother's hugs.

At school, I was an excellent student and an activist, and of course, on the advice of my mother, I entered the law academy. By the way, she herself, without agreements and bribes, having passed only the first exam.I can't say that my parents forced me. At that time, I had no idea what I wanted to do in life and did not know that work can bring not only money, but also pleasure.

Judging by my parents, there was no easy and beloved job, there was only one where they paid more. And after the weekend, every Monday morning I heard an unhappy phrase: “Oh my God, to work today! I really don’t want to! ”

In the 4th year after the internship, it dawned on me that working in the civil service, oh, it’s not sweet, even in the legal department. Pay a penny labor Code no one observes, "fry" for every little thing, forced to stay at work overtime.

By a lucky coincidence, I didn't have to work for 3 years after graduation, since I got married and gave birth to a daughter. And, by the way, she graduated from yurakademy with honors ...

I got the best mother-in-law, and since we had a warm and friendly relationship, every season I helped her “sort out the wardrobes”, despite the fact that she has a daughter. By the way, I also helped my daughter, that is, my husband's sister.I took out all the clothes, sorted them by season, category and color. Then followed a long fitting of things that were in doubt and I intuitively asked my mother-in-law a lot of questions (as it turned out, some of them coincided with those that I was taught at the organizers' foreign courses). Then she made a decision: to give, leave or fix / alter.After trying on, I put things in drawers and shelves and took a tour of my beloved mother-in-law's refurbished perfect wardrobe. The next day we drove out huge sacks of unnecessary clothing to her work, where she was taken apart with hands and feet by the employees.

I got great pleasure from this process, I just blissed out. I saw how grateful and satisfied my mother-in-law, who, unlike me, was very tired and did not understand how to do this with such enthusiasm and burning eyes.

Each time it took us 1-2 days for this event, since she had a lot of clothes and she never did it without me. Each time she wondered how much I liked it and how great I was at it.

After I once again put things in order in the kitchen, she said: “Everything has become much more convenient, more beautiful and better, I would never have guessed to shift things myself! You have talent, you need to realize it somehow! ”I laughed and replied: "Yeah, can you go to work as a cleaner with a red diploma from the Academy of Sciences?"

... The decree gradually grew from one to another, and after 5 years our son was born. During all this time, I was finally convinced that I was not ready to work for my uncle from morning until night as my classmates, that laws change at the speed of sound and I would not return to jurisprudence. I tried to photograph, sculpt candy bouquets and even wanted to open children's store clothes. DO NOT GO. NOT MINE.

I was worried that I was sitting on my husband's neck and suffered from lack of fulfillment. But in spite of everything, I believed and knew that I would do something special, not like everyone else, and go down in history.

All this time, I periodically helped my mothers and girlfriends "sort out the closets" (that's what I called this action at the time), but one case changed everything.

Walking with the children on the playground, my friend and I met her good friend Katya (name has been changed). The girl recently celebrated a year of her second baby, but she completely fell into despair.The endless mess, huge heaps of clothes after washing, children's toys lying around everywhere and her husband on regular business trips - it all drove her crazy.

She described how she turned things on the floor to find what she needed, although she tidied up the closet on weekends; how long it took her eldest daughter to dress and how her things ended up on the wrong shelf; for half an hour she was looking for a "striped body" for her youngest daughter; how, having left the threshold of the apartment, I realized that the keys were not in the bag and ran for another 15 minutes in search of them; how tired she was of the mess, the endless cleaning and the endless washing.

After the walk, my friend and I went to her for tea. Katya opened the closet to show her new clothes and a bunch of things fell on her head from the top shelf. She sat down on the floor and burst into tears ... In general, I said that I would come to her tomorrow and help her, simply, as a human being (especially since parents came to visit us who could stay with my children).

We rowed all day, drank coffee, trod "Kiev Evening" and listened to Dima Bilan. On that day, we overcame two closets and completely changed the storage system. Katya was shocked. She squealed with pleasure, closed and opened drawers and doors a hundred times. When I put on my shoes, she started giving me money, to which I rolled my eyes and said that she was crazy. After arguing for about 10 minutes, she shoved the bills into my purse and said that such an amazing job should be paid for.

I walked along the barely lit streets and thought a lot. I was embarrassed, I just wanted to help, why did she give me money .. But I understood the most important thing - people are ready to pay for such services ...

I didn’t know what to call the services I wanted to provide, but after that incident, the idea of creating a business to tidy up the closets stuck in my head.Cleaning the closet .. order in the closet .. order in things .. order in the house .. nothing sensible came to mind ... All understanding was reduced to an ordinary cleaner or housekeeper ...And in our family, almost all lawyers are men in suits and ties, women in blouses and heels ...I alone ... unlucky ...

In general, I didn't even tell anyone about my first "salary" from cleaning the closet (maybe in vain?). Yes, and I did not consider it a salary, so, it's an absurd coincidence.

Six months have passed since that incident, maybe a little more. I spent the money that they gave me for my birthday on my first training in my life and on March 8, 2015, I started a blog on the insta about mom prosperity. I wrote mainly about the order in the house and the optimization of space in closets, occasionally touching on the topic of time management.

I was scared to tell the people what I really want to do, because I could not clearly formulate even the name of my services. At that time, there was not a single space organizer in the Russian-speaking space.

A couple of months later, in some of the foreign blogs, I accidentally stumbled upon information about professionalorganize r.

OH GODS! THEY EXIST! Something skipped a beat in my heart, everything turned upside down in my stomach. THIS IS IT! THIS is what I want to do and what I have been doing practically since childhood! Space organizer is my life's work, my vocation! It turns out that such a profession has existed in the United States for about 30 years (30 years, Karl!). Specialists are in great demand, they improve people's lives, do what they love and receive decent wages from $ 100 per hour!

But where are we, and where is the USA ..

Everything would be easy if it were not so difficult ...

I could not find a place for myself and continued to lead Insta, more and more emphasizing the organization of space, but again I was overcome by doubts lasting several months ...Fear of being ridiculed, fears that nothing will work out and a million thoughts in my head every night.

In the fall, I accidentally entered the hashtag#space organizer and found HER. Curly redbone who recently started organizing space in Russia. We quickly became friends and decided that we would give a cool start to this profession in the post-Soviet territory. We can do it, we can! There are two of us!

As you can see, after 3 years this is exactly what happened. All current organizers are our graduates and I am really proud of it!I talked about my new activities to everyone who needed and not needed: relatives, friends, acquaintances and even strangers. My eyes were burning, my hands were shaking and my heart was beating faster!

The first ones were supported by my relatives - they said that this is a necessary service and I can train right now on their closets.

The second did NOT support me. These were some "friends" (as it seemed to me at the time). They fumbled my idea and twirled their fingers to their temples.

Still others are subscribers. They split into two camps. Some shouted that this was a brilliant idea, others that it was the bottom and a shame to rummage in other people's panties!It was painful, annoying ... well, okay ... I banned the spammers, my friends turned out to be not friends at all.

The thought of giving up everything did not even arise. I knew it would be difficult. I remembered the same saying from my childhood: "And if Olya jumps from the 7th floor, will you also jump after her?" Of course not! Therefore, if someone was comfortable with whining, lying on the couch and sticking into the TV, I was not going to do the same.

In December 2015, I bought the first foreign course for training professional organizers and after passing the exams I became the first certified space organizer in the post-Soviet territory.Clients were found almost immediately, word of mouth and blogging gave stunning results, but given the 1.5 year old baby in my arms, I could not cope ...

At my own peril and risk, I hired a nanny and for the first month of work I was able to independently pay for her services. I studied and worked more than I slept, wrote posts, ran the first marathons on organizing space in Runet, and on weekends I ran to the field.

At the moment, I have completed more than 17 online courses not only on organizing space, but also on business, worth more than 370 thousand rubles, I have studied a bunch of foreign literature, costing more than 250 USD and I am 100% confident in my course "Space Organizer" ...If you actively apply all your knowledge in practice, you can fully recoup its cost even before completing the course, and if you act slowly, within 2-3 months.My students run TOP blogs and from timid girls literally in a year turn into confident business women with blogs of 100K subscribers.

Now I am writing my first book, I have been living at sea for 3 months, I devote the weekend only to my family and I am still worried before meeting a new client.

Everyone who discussed me behind my back is now crammed into friends, who said that no one needs it - they are calling to the organization. But I have a record. Recording until early November.

I could, so can you! I will reveal to you all the pitfalls and tell you the most secret secrets.

In the spring to the traditional general cleaning only the washing of windows is added, which can be delegated to specialists, the cleaning of tulle and curtains and the soaking of the door mat from street reagents. Otherwise, tidying up is no different from cleaning at any other time of the year. The Village asked professional space organizers and cleaners to tell you how to deal with seasonal items quickly and not spend an entire weekend cleaning.

How to get rid of unnecessary things?

Inessa Zbar

space organizer

There is a big difference between the concepts of "putting things in order" and "cleaning". In the first case, we evaluate the entire furnishings of the house, get rid of unnecessary things and determine things in their places, in the second, we simply clean the house of dirt. Here are some recommendations on how to deal with unnecessary things and properly organize storage in an apartment:

Plan the process

A list of places to clean and things to do will help you manage your time and energy. Without it, we risk being caught in an avalanche of overwhelming tasks and fizzling out ahead of time, without reaching the desired goal. Be sure to indicate the performer, date and time for each item, honestly assessing our strengths and leaving time to complete with a margin. It is best to start in small areas such as cabinets, kitchen and bathroom. We then move on to larger spaces, which tend to be less cluttered and take less time to work with. On weekdays, deal with small tasks, on weekends - with large ones, which will take a couple of hours.

Appreciate what you own

Appraisal of things is an obligatory stage in the de-cluttering of space. Gather all the things related to the area of the house in which you plan to clean up, and sort them into three groups: throw away, give away or leave.

What do you need to get rid of without regret?

Expired products, cosmetics and medicines;

Broken things;

Items that no longer make you happy or are associated with bad memories;

Items duplicating each other;

Old calendars, magazines and newspapers;

Pointless decor: fridge magnets, travel souvenirs, vases, pictures that don't matter to you;

Things that are carefully stored in anticipation of "someday" or "any occasion": exercise equipment, knitting kits, clothes that are small / large, unnecessary gifts, and the like;

Photos with unknown people, no dates and no indication of place;

Old toys.

It is important to make decisions about things quickly, not to "hang", especially when parsing books, photographs, children's crafts, papers and other things. To do this, set a timer and take a break every hour for 5-10 minutes. If the decision is difficult, ask yourself, “Would I buy this today? Can I do without it? " If the answer is “no” and “yes”, respectively, then the thing must be released or given. Especially if you haven't used it for a year or more.

Organize storage according to the rules

Now that it has become clear what exactly of the things will remain in the house, you can start organizing them. Here are a few simple rules:

Each thing has its own place. One of the main reasons for chaos lies precisely in the absence of a convenient permanent place for a thing and the habit of returning it to its place. I recommend that my clients think in “cycles,” a well-known psychology technique of completed action. For example, I take a cup to drink. The task "to drink" is completed not when the cup is empty, but when it stands in its place, that is, the cycle (beginning, middle, end) is over.

Store by category. Group items together following the logic you define. There is no universal approach - the storage logic can be different: most often, items are grouped by the method and place of use, by materials, by color, by style, by format. This helps you know exactly how many things you have.

Show things. That is, to make their storage visible, namely to use transparent or mesh containers, label boxes or mark with pictures. It should be convenient for you to navigate things.

Don't buy storage fixtures in advance. I recommend that customers use what they already have and not clutter up with unnecessary boxes. Only after evaluating the number of things, the way they are used and the size of the room, you can plan the purchase of additional accessories.

Often used closer, rarely farther away. One of the basic principles that is often overlooked. Nevertheless, its observance helps to maintain order in the apartment on a permanent basis.

Disassemble digital blockages

Raid your home looking for unused gadgets, chargers, cords and cables. Test them to make sure they are not really needed. Send unnecessary devices to designated collection points, as they cannot be thrown into shared household waste bins. Label each cable you need to make it easier to identify in the future.

Take the time to sort through the files on your computer, tablet, and smartphone. Come up with your own navigation and storage system. Take advantage of the ability to store data in the cloud and back up regularly. Disassemble email, unsubscribe from unnecessary mailings.

Irina Tsyplenkova

founder of the project "Complete Order"

In the spring, it is worth not only removing winter clothes and getting summer ones, but carrying out a full-scale audit to free your house of unnecessary things and prepare for a new one. life cycle- spring and summer. What are the things worth taking apart? First of all: clothes, shoes, accessories, cosmetics, first aid kit. Secondly: documents and things for active leisure.

Shoes and clothing

Clothes, shoes and accessories are things that significantly affect how we feel and how other people perceive us. Therefore, before starting to disassemble them, ask yourself: “What qualities do I want to develop in myself? How to feel? " Further, when making a decision about each specific thing, ask yourself the question: “What kind of person do I feel when I have this thing on? What does she support in my lifestyle? " The answers to these questions will help you make a decision: keep the item or throw / give it away.

The things you decide to leave behind deserve to be taken care of by you. Therefore, before removing your shoes, clean them, treat them with impregnations, and stuff them with paper. Repair as needed. To make it easy to understand what is in which box, you can sign them or even glue photos. Outerwear usually takes up a lot of space, so vacuum bags can be used to store them, the air from which is evacuated with a vacuum cleaner. True, it is better to remove no more than 50% of the air, so that later the clothes will quickly return to their original form. Vacuum bags cannot be used for leather and fur items - they are best stored in breathable covers. The most important thing: try to put all things in one category in one place. Then by next winter you will not have to painfully remember what else you had and where it all went.

First aid kit

There are two obvious stages in the revision of a first-aid kit and cosmetics: we throw it away and we buy it. Check all expiration dates first, throw away all expired drugs and cosmetics. You can throw away winter care cosmetics now if the expiration date is earlier than next winter. Also pay attention to storage conditions: some products must be stored strictly in the refrigerator. If you find such drops, creams, candles not in the refrigerator, you will have to say goodbye to them - it is not safe to use these drugs.

During the verification process, write down which funds you threw away so that you do not forget to buy them later. Then think about how you and your family usually get sick in the spring and summer. If, for example, someone in your household is allergic to dust or blooms, check that you have antihistamines. Check to see if you have sunscreen and mosquito repellent - these are the things you may need at the most unexpected moments.

The documents

Separately, it is worth noting the verification of documents: spring is almost summer, which means that there is a vacation ahead, summer camps and other trips. So, first of all, make sure that you and your family members do not expire passports, and the child has everything Required documents for children's camp... Also, if you are planning a vacation abroad, make sure that you have paid all taxes and paid fines, otherwise you may not be allowed to go abroad.

Continuing the travel theme: During spring cleaning, put your outdoor gear, a volleyball or a kite where you can easily get them. If such things lie on the mezzanine, littered with other objects, your chances of going to somehow play badminton in the park or spontaneously go on a picnic with friends are greatly reduced. In my opinion, The best way storage of things for active leisure - these are hooks: you can hang on them a sleeping bag, and a tent, and rackets, and a ball in a net. But things in this category usually take up a lot of space, so you can safely store them away: on the balcony or in the closet. The main thing is that you can see any thing at a glance and can easily take it.

How to clean properly?

Anna Zemnukhova-Pivovarova

online service cleaner personal services YouDo.com

I recommend starting your cleaning with aeration and visual order. First, sort things out, put them in their places, and dispose of the trash. After that, everyone has their own algorithm. As a rule, if there is no one while cleaning the house, then I give myself freedom and clean up not in stages in every room, but in the whole apartment at once: first I walk through the apartment with a vacuum cleaner, then I move on to thorough cleaning, moving from top to bottom - I wipe the dust in all rooms, then washing doors, mirrors and other surfaces. After finishing the cleaning of surfaces, I proceed to cleaning the floors.

You may be accustomed to vacuuming at the end of the cleaning, but doing it first can be more effective. The fact is that during the operation of the vacuum cleaner, dust enters the air and settles on surfaces, and it has to be wiped again. For the same reason, make your beds before cleaning.

What places are most often forgotten when cleaning?

As a rule, in cleaning, they do not so much forget about some places as ignore them altogether. These places include shelves with books and small things (I don't want to rearrange a lot of things), window fittings, chrome furniture legs, baseboards - many do not consider them part of the floor, so most often they do not wipe them. Cornices, chandeliers and cabinet tops are another story altogether. It rarely comes to them, so dust can accumulate there for years.

What is the minimum cleaning supplies needed at home?

For effective cleaning, two or three rags and special products are enough. If you clean regularly, use a cotton rag to clean stains in the bathroom (this material is excellent at removing dirt and fingerprints even without the use of special products) and a microfiber rag. Of all the variety of household chemicals for self-cleaning in the house, you need:

Glass cleaner (it will also help clean the laminated facade of furniture);

Grease remover;

Bleach based product or equivalent for cleaning the toilet and bathroom;

An abrasive (powder) suitable for cleaning bathtubs and sinks.

If you only use ecological cleaning products, keep in mind that more often than not, they can be replaced with an alternative home remedy kit. For example, you can use baking soda instead of cleaning powder, citric acid instead of anti-peace, and vodka or ammonia instead of glass cleaner.

How long does it take for the cleaner to clean and how can you make this process easier?

Cleaning a two-room apartment, for example, an apartment, takes different times for everyone. On average, this is 2.5–3 hours, depending on the pollution and clutter of the area and surfaces. Observance of certain algorithms will help to significantly reduce the cleaning time. The first, which has already been described, is the step-by-step cleaning of the entire apartment at once. That is, first you vacuum in all rooms, then wipe the dust everywhere, and so on. The second is sequential cleaning in the rooms (suitable if someone else is at home): in each room you will need to repeat all the cleaning steps according to the algorithm described above. Last but not least, clean up the bathroom and toilet.

You can also reduce the time by putting some processes on autopilot. For example, run the washing machine in parallel, fill the toilet, bathroom, sinks, stove or work surfaces in the kitchen with cleaning agents. While you are cleaning the rooms, the cleaning agents will have time to take effect - this way you save the surfaces from unnecessary friction and save your energy.

No matter how much you put things in order in the house, and after a couple of days - again a mess. You can continue to spend a lot of time every day looking for the necessary things and devote every weekend to cleaning, or you can use the services of a space organizer.

The job of a space organizer is not about cleaning an apartment or a house as such. These are the duties of a cleaner or housekeeper. The main principle of a specialist's work is to organize living space the client so that he was always comfortable. This specialist develops a competent and convenient system for organizing space and storing things individually for each client, and further trains clients to support this system directly and their home staff.

The whole trick is that after the creation of an effective storage system and its implementation, the order in the house is practically not disturbed and is easily maintained by all family members, without spending a lot of time.

So, a space organizer is an expert in creating a literate and convenient system putting things in order and storing things, which makes life more comfortable and easier.

Organization of space - comparatively the new kind activities in our country. Although most Western countries This type of service has existed for a long time and gained such popularity that in 1980 the first National Association of Professional Space Organizers NAPO / USA was established.

Significant contribution to development this direction introduced a system for restoring order called flylady or jet hostesses, which was developed by the American Marla Scilly in 1999. This system was created to help you run your household as efficiently as possible.

The inspiration for most of the specialists is the Japanese woman Mari Kondo, who developed the author's principles of organizing space, included in her best-selling book “Magic Cleaning. The Japanese art of putting things in order at home and in life. " The author believes that cleaning puts your thoughts in order and can calm you down. In addition, Marie emphasizes that it is imperative to get rid of unnecessary things.

HOW A SPACE ORGANIZER WORKS

meets the client (in person or online);
determines the main problem areas of the object according to the photo and description of the client;
draws up an organization plan (selects ideas, examples of photos), which then coordinates with the client;
if necessary, purchases household goods and accessories for storing things, necessarily coordinating purchases with the client;
goes to the client's house and directly carries out actions to organize the home space, which were planned in advance;
advises and provides recommendations on maintaining order in an organized area.

The services of a professional space organizer may include organizing order in the entire house or apartment, as well as in separate areas: kitchen, wardrobe, pantry, etc. In addition, some members of the profession provide a number of additional services, for example, such as: help with moving, home sales, and even in case of divorce.

In addition to directly organizing the client's space, a qualified specialist can provide online consultations, conduct educational trainings and master classes, and also maintain a blog.

HOW TO BECOME A SPACE ORGANIZER

A person who plans to organize space must have a set necessary knowledge and skills that can be obtained through online courses and trainings. Educational institutions that train professionals in this area, in our country so far.

As for personal qualities, here the future organizer of the space must, of course, have a creative streak, be creative, decent, neat, sociable, able to quickly win people over to him.

I first learned about professional space organizers after watching, and then Yulia Trushina gave me a link to. It is comparative new profession, the emergence of which, of course, is due to the fact that not everyone can independently cope with the abundance that the consumer society gives us. A professional organizer is a specially trained person who can quickly navigate how to structure the space of a home, office or store, for example, make it comfortable, orderly and functional. They are well versed in all kinds of storage systems, they know all life hacks and, most importantly, they like to put everything on the shelves. Then I came across an article about Mari Kondo, an organizer from Japan, who gives her advice on organizing a house, my favorite: fold things like sushi :)))

The big question is, who becomes the clients of such organizers? In addition to pathological storage devices, these can be quite healthy people who value their time and choose how to dispose of it, you can call such an organizer to help you move, at the moment when you want to radically change something in life, at the design and decoration stage. a new house (to help the designer), or Marianna said in an interview that once she had the task of finding several specific things in the house of a client's deceased relative, and throwing the rest away, adding or selling.

And you know, then I seriously thought about learning and trying myself in this new profession.
It seems to me that I have all the necessary qualities for this: strategy, the ability to see the whole situation, including helping people understand their situation, determine priorities, and also a love of organization and the ability to structure things like information. I remember at my first job (at the age of 14 I worked as a courier in a small printing house in the summer), I had a lot of free time in the office, and my director instructed me to dismantle his desk, he was so pleased with the result that he even paid me a bonus!

What's even more interesting is how much psychology there is! But it’s one thing when it comes to my life, things, time and space, it’s quite another when I have to deal with someone else’s trash, and most importantly, with other people's stories, traumas, habits ... Probably, someday I’ll try! ..

Recently, in a post, I mentioned the organizers and, perhaps, skipped a bit on the topic of organization and storage, I must admit that this is not entirely fair. Firstly, I am sure that a very minimalistic house is probably not suitable for everyone, and secondly, I myself organized my house well enough and found its place for each thing precisely due to the fact that some convenient storage devices are still used. Specifically, I have a lot of questions about Ikea's things for storage, but not Ikea alone, thank God, we can use it! Recently I met Maria Belyakova and was fascinated by her store Everything in the field (by coupon po-drugomu asked for a discount for you, my readers!), which is entirely devoted to exactly the things for organizing order in the house, in the car, in the bag. I was surprised that the main assortment of their store is their own developments and production in Russia. What's the difference? And for example, such that they think over the colors, strength, even the ability to wash is, because the internal partitions are not cardboard, but plastic. To be honest, I hung there for so long! I didn't even think that some of these things exist in nature! And then a whole hour in their group I looked at all sorts of cool ideas for storage, beautiful dressing rooms, kitchens, interior eco-solutions, just like-minded people!

But there were conflicting feelings. At first, the minimalist in me rebelled, and then the inner essentialist and the connoisseur of simplicity as a whole defended these special devices. Here are the reasons:

They really help to keep things. At some stage, such adaptations may be simply necessary to organize not only things, but also thoughts and established habits. The same hangers, special boxes for storing shoes and trunks for bags, have you ever wondered how much longer things last when stored properly and carefully? Firstly, you can't put dirty shoes with salt stains in a freshly bought transparent shoe box until next winter, but you can put them in a bag in any form (or am I the only one?) , then you feel disgust, and the first thought: I need new shoes! Although if you spend a little time, wash them, dry them, anoint them with cream and push the paper or use special form holders, and only then send them to rest, then the boots can last more than one season.

Give things a place. Here are socks, stockings, bras, panties, I think even the most notorious minimalists use all of this, and for me there is nothing wrong with these things also lying in their places. Moreover, special boxes can limit their number. Not to mention the decorations!

Simplify life. And how annoying you are (well, I'm annoyed!) When you can't find a phone, wallet or lip gloss in a minimalistic bag for a long time, when passport pages are crumpled or keys are stuck somewhere! .. I have already told how I do not like to rush , and I am simply enraged with the need to shift from bag to bag before going out all sorts of little things, so God forbid not to forget anything. It's cool that for people like me they came up with all sorts of organizers in bags.

Simplify travel. Whether traveling with a suitcase or with a backpack, I always need quick access to what I need, so I’m for travel bags, for example, and I need my shampoo and my cream (in small travel containers, yes), and in India, where we were going at night, while Tasha was asleep, she realized that she needed fabric, non-rustling bags for things. In addition, such things help, which is also not unimportant!

In general, for me all these are most often not superfluous things, but on the contrary very useful, rather making life easier and more joyful, it is only important to find your balance, and when the moment comes that they are no longer needed, you can sell or donate them, after all there are many who are at the very beginning of the path to freeing their space! And if you, for example, have long dreamed that your grandmother figured out in the country, how to shame her with Plyushkin's syndrome, you can give her beautiful and inspiring storage containers and a day of your time as a space organizer, albeit not a professional one. Disassembling cabinets and mezzanines together, you can find out many interesting details of your grandmother's biography and just spend warm time together.
