How to Identify as an Organized Person With Tracy Hoth
Wondering how to get organized at home when the mess feels overwhelming and you don't know where to start? In this first-ever guest episode, professional organizer Tracy Hoth reveals her game-changing SPACE method that transforms chaos into order—without requiring you to be a perfectionist or buy a bunch of fancy containers. The secret isn't just about physical decluttering; it's about shifting your identity from "I'm a messy person" to "I'm someone who knows how to organize."
Tracy shares organizing tips for overwhelmed people who've tried every system but nothing sticks. You'll discover why most people start organizing backwards (hint: stop buying bins first!), how your decluttering mindset determines whether clutter comes back, and the surprising reason delayed decisions create all that pile-up in the first place. This space organizing method works because it combines practical steps with the psychological shifts that make organization finally feel natural instead of forced.
