## Resource

After finally taking down a giant birthday balloon arch that had slowly turned a corner of our living room into an unexpected clutter magnet, I found myself considering, “What does it actually mean to be organized... enough?” Inspired by a recent contribution to Real Simple magazine, I’m sharing practical, realistic strategies for organizing common problem areas, shaped by how our family organizes a 750-square-foot New York City apartment. In this episode: * Why “organized enough” may be a better goal than perfectly organized * How “flexible organization systems” can adapt as your life changes * Why the goal isn’t “always tidy”, but “easily tidied” Mentioned in this episode: * IKEA Boaxel modular storage system (Plus what it looked l ike for Real Simple ) * Over-the-door hooks for “pending clothes” * Tiered file bin for sorting mail as it comes in * Lazy Susans for refrigerators and freezers More from Tidy Dad: 📚 Order my book: Tidy Up Your Life 🗞️ Subscribe to The Tidy Times : tidydad.substack.com 📸 Follow along on IG: Tidy Dad This is a public episode.
