Clutter bugs me

Today we are going to talk about bugs.

Not gross creepy-crawlies, but clutterbugs. ClutterBug is a fun organizing/decluttering Youtube channel and website. There are four types of clutterbugs, bees, ladybugs, crickets, and butterflies. This short video explains how each clutterbug is different. Once you know which one you are, you can use the right tools to organize your life.

I do recommend watching the video, but here is a brief explanation. There are four categories of organization types. Most of us either like stuff out where we can see it (visual) or out of sight when we aren’t using it (hidden). We also like either large groupings (macro) or small categories (micro). So here is what each bug is like:

  • Bees – Visual/Micro
  • Ladybugs – Hidden/Macro
  • Crickets – Hidden/Micro
  • Butterflies – Visual/Macro

It’s possible to be one bug in one area of your life and a different bug in another. I am 100% cricket. Of course, my hubby is 100% butterfly, the exact opposite of me. This explains so much about our household.

Check out the video, and find out which clutterbug you are. I found it eye-opening to learn which organizing containers (small and opaque) work best for me. Knowing your style might help you too.
