Isn't it hopeful! Jean E. Carroll is asking what she should do with her money from her defamation suit: I think she should buy up the Orange One's golf clubs and rewild them.
Love this concept of creating spaces and systems that work for you. It’s something I’ve been in the process of doing in my own home, especially in regard to my small home office, and the mental load it has lifted is worth it in and of itself.
I grew up in very much this sort of environment. My architect father taught me very clearly that minimalism was a lot about good storage and systems. I’m just not sure it works for me. Too far out of sight and I forget things exist. Excellent article though and the links are interesting. Thanks!
I love this approach of systems thinking to organize a home. It makes sense. Also, the curtains-on-bookshelf idea is genius. *currently eyeing the piles of books teetering on top of my desk*
This is one of the most helpful, organizing articles I have ever read and I’m so grateful for all these tips. (and I too am a big fan of hanging curtains to hide a cluttered shelf that will never ever ever be uncluttered!)
Fantastic description/summary of a mental approach to home organization! It really resonated with me and suits how my mind works. (Oddly, I have naturally done this in the laboratory, but didn't translate it into my home.) As I move into my new tiny home, I'll try to preemptively set up this way, but it's good to have a plan of how to adjust what isn't working. Thanks!
I once heard a quote along the lines of "home organization should be about making your home work with the habits you already have," and I think that dovetails so well with this idea of systems thinking.
Thank you so much for the link to the article re the re-wilding of golf courses!
