Nothing calms me down more than a video of a woman organizing her refrigerator with special containers.
Nothing relaxes me more than a video of someone organizing their garage with labeled bins.
Nothing brings me more peace than a video of someone restocking their skincare essentials alphabetically ordered in their medicine cabinethe nothing brings me more joy than watching a time lapse video of someone color coding their closet.
Rainbow.
Red tops over here, purple tops over here.
I love organization, and I will say organization is something that now more than ever is actually kind of toxic, which is unbelievable, because if you think about the concept, in theory, it makes life easier at best.
It can actually be sort of therapeutic.
Like, what could be bad about it?
Because of the Internet, I think organization has gotten a bit toxic.
I think people are sort of over consuming in order to make organizational content on the Internet doing, like, a spice jar restock.
Okay, let me explain to you what this video looks like.
This is a video of, let's say, a mother of three going to the grocery store and buying a bunch of spices and then basically taking these containers that are all matching containers that have labels for the cumin and for the black pepper and for the mustard powder and for all these things.
And then she takes the spice that she bought from the store in its perfectly good container and then puts it into her container.
That's the one that matches with all the other ones that she has so that when you open her little drawer, every single one matches.
Okay, listen.
I get the temptation.
There's something so satisfying about everything matching, everything looking, you know, aesthetically pleasing.
I did pay someone a few years ago to organize my home like this, and it did not work for me.
The added steps that it created in my life, I just.
I couldn't live that way.
