A Result: You’re a Visual Organizer
You need to see things to stay on top of them — out of sight = out of mind. You thrive with clear bins, open shelving, and labeled systems that keep your items visible but not messy.
Try this:
✔ Use labeled baskets or open bins in high-use areas
✔ Avoid deep drawers or opaque containers
✔ Set up a wall-based command center for keys, papers, and everyday items
Mindset Shift:
You’re not scattered — you just need visibility to stay organized.
B Result: You’re a Minimalist-at-Heart
Clutter overwhelms you and drains your energy. You feel most peaceful in spaces that are clean, calm, and quiet — and you function best with “less.”
Try this:
✔ Stick to a “one in, one out” rule for new items
✔ Use hidden storage and neutral color palettes
✔ Set visual boundaries for surfaces (clear space = clear mind)
Mindset Shift:
Simplicity isn’t boring — it’s your version of calm.
C Result: You’re a Sentimental Keeper
Letting go feels emotional — and your stuff often holds memories. You care deeply, and that’s a strength. But you don’t need to hold on to everything to honor the past.
Try this:
✔ Take photos of special items before donating
✔ Keep one labeled “memory bin” per person
✔ Ask: “Would I keep this if I didn’t feel guilty?”
Mindset Shift:
You can keep the memory without keeping the object.
D Result: You’re an All-or-Nothing Thinker
You crave order — but starting feels overwhelming. You tend to wait for the “perfect time” to get organized... which never comes. That doesn’t mean you’re not capable — it just means your systems need to be smaller and more doable.
Try this:
✔ Set a timer for 10 minutes and just start
✔ Use checklists to stay focused and build momentum
✔ Celebrate the small wins (yes, that drawer counts!)
Mindset Shift:
Progress beats perfection every time.
