Discover YOUR personal organizing style—and stay organized forever! Organization isn’t one-size-fits-all. Different people need different solutions. Fortunately, Katie and Kelly McMenamin—the organizing gurus behind PixiesDidIt!®—have found the key to making organization stick, with strategies that work for every personality. Whether you’re OCD or a little less fastidious, Katie and Kelly will help you discover your organizational style, using unconventional approaches or sticking to what already works. Along with personality-based solutions for every space in your home, they offer advice on solving strife between different “PixieTypes.” So you can keep the stuff you love . . . and the peace! Our organization book features the best ways to organize and declutter your house with specific tips for your personality. You’ll find chapters on the best ways to organize: * Kitchens * Bedrooms * Bathrooms * Children’s storage * Office spaces Plus we’ll give you tricks to reach an organized compromise if your roommates happen to fall into a different organization style. You are an organic freedom! Organics are the dreamers of the world. Overall making up 16% of the population, you value personal growth and relationships above all else. Authenticity and meaning are more important to you than ambition or achievement. You are idealistic, creative visionaries, and your household organizational style probably has more to do with how your environment makes you feel, rather than any dictums on how it should look and function. In Myers-Briggs-Keirsey-Jung lingo, your personality preferences are likely NF, which stands for Intuitive and Feeling. Organic Freedoms are around 12% of the population. You have visual memories and like to have things out so you can see them to remember them. You appreciate when things are orderly and neat but you’re not going to obsess over a mess. It’s temporary. You live by a schedule because that’s the way the world works. But deep down you hate anything boring, thrive off of flexible schedules and find time (and clutter) management challenging. You can get bogged down in the decision process of where to put things. Sometimes you make plans in advance but gosh do you relish a wide-open day to do with it what you want. You aren’t always detail-oriented, and cabinet and filing systems can be your Achilles heel. They’re almost like mausoleums to you. Beware. First organization tip: Don’t put important things away in opaque bins or boxes with lids. You’re likely to forget what’s inside and the entire point of being organized is retrieval. Always go with open, clear bins (https://pixiesdidit.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=37962af1b2eeca486e48a5052&id=29d45f6a80&e=07b0681423).
