      My TBI occurred in 2002. Over time other areas of your brain can & will take on duties not originally ascribed to the region/territory. I'm constantly amazed that memories of events I couldn't recall, have slowly inched back into consciousness.
      My neurologist was a quack & put me on meds, he thought, might help. (Then maxed out the dose) I complained that I wasn't myself & he argued that maybe I'm just different now. Don't listen to anyone who isn't interested in what's beneficial to you or your well-being. I was alone & no one to say, "hey that's not good".
      I lost 15 years of healing. But for the first time since '04/'05 I'm making progress. I've purchased the same item 3 times in one week, because I couldn't find it or didn't cross it off my to do list.
      I was a professional organizer & helped others, before the TBI. I live like a hoarder now. But recently I noticed some stacks are smaller & lost items are beginning to surface again. God Bless you all.

      Next month is my FORTY YEAR anniversary of TBI (CHI). It does get better. But on the other hand, it does not go away. Compensation is the key. Draw on your and your husband's strengths, to come up with adaptations for the deficits. I'm a Bee, but too much micro organizing can be paralyzing. Labels are good no matter what "bug" you are. Good luck!!!

    Bee here and that's basically exactly how I would organize the closet. The only thing I would change is I would opt for clear drawers rather than stacked bins.

    So useful to see the four different options. Really made the different clutterbug categories make sense to me. There are some things that I am OK doing "butterfly style" or even "ladybug style" (for things I want hidden) and I like some of the ideas for the "cricket" (but was frustrated about not being able to see the categories more easily.
    My reactions to your sample systems shown in this video confirmed without a doubt that for my personal areas, I tend toward "bee" (and that my husband tends toward "butterfly") - which explains a lot.
    Since, I began allowing myself to use butterfly categories for the main house, I've been more successful at keeping both the common areas and my personal areas organized. For the common areas, it's been simpler with fewer categories (and "done is better than perfect") and that left me more time to focus my "bee" energy only on the areas that really require that level of detail.

    This was quite a lot of work to re-do the space in each style, so thanks for going to the effort. I just need to let you know that I started following you probably 18 months ago or so, and discovering that I was a "Butterfly" has been absolutely life-changing. I finally understood why my efforts to organise always ended up with my stuff literally spread all over every surface of my house - the floor, bench, tables, side tables, everything, which meant I could not invite friends around unless I did a massive preparatory clean-up, and in the weeks afterwards everything would slowly find its way out again! I had bought storage things and furniture over the years that would suit a Ladybug or a Cricket, and my pantry just failed me, as only the things I could see ever got used. I now have a really functional food storage arrangement, very simple but I can see my things and I absolutely know what I have. It has helped so much over this year especially in managing food supplies during lockdown. Having a clear kitchen bench now has allowed my husband to take up some hobby cooking while we've been at home so much this year, and has given him loads of enjoyment (not to mention delicious meals!) On a whim, we invited friends over for dinner this past weekend for the first time in forever, and it was so wonderful. Our house and its storage just worked so well I could have cried from happiness seeing all the children racing around enjoying the little spaces and zones that I have slowly, bit by butterfly bit, not only created but maintained for a considerable time now. I still have some rooms to go, but they are away from the main living areas, and I will get through them, too. But I just want you to know that it was only discovering the Butterfly thing about me that unlocked it all and made it possible for me to finally start getting our house together, and it has brought so much happiness already. I will always remember and treasure these organising lessons from you, and thank you so very much. You're a superstar!

    I know this video is older but it caught my eye in the recommended. I just wanted to say it is so nice that you added the bit about your in-laws at the end. My in-laws are also wonderful people and we lived in their home off and on when we were first married. We enjoy spending time with them. It's such a blessing to have a close family.

    I love being able to see everything, open the pantry door and see quickly what I need to get at the grocery store. I also love being able to 'one hand' things that I am looking for when I have my hands full. Everything in it's place is such a stress relief. It's like a 'chill pill'. Thanks for your suggestions, they really make sense to me!

I used to literally get a sick feeling in my stomach, if I had to sort into too many small categories, but using the butterfly model,I 've been able to get my 2 craft areas combined into one room and it's organized, I can find things and it's so beautiful!

    • @candicewaller403
      @candicewaller403 Před 3 lety +3

      I think it sometimes depends on the space and the stuff. Some of those "bee" containers with the lids off would have been great for a butterfly. Those wire baskets were just asking for stuff to fall out. I'm almost definitely a bee, but in certain spaces I can't have everything out (kitchen and bathroom come to mind). Plus, I have cats and hate dusting so sometimes I go for a minimal look for just that reason.

    Love you too!! Thank you for this video. I think I like butterfly/bee the most, it does give you more of a cluttered feeling BUT if it's hidden away inside a cupboard that's okay (which I learned makes me a cricket). Why I prefer these is because they give me a view. Often you forget what you can't see and then you find it later and realize it's expired or you accidentally bought another one. So in a sense, even if it feels cluttered, the idea is it is going to lead to less clutter by having control.

      I was a stressed cricket, which totally can resemble a 🦋! But I just don't like to see everything, all the time.

      @@humbleorgins4125 super interesting! I like something a little more visual than this cricket, but not as much as the butterfly, and definitely behind closed doors, not in the open.

    I’m a cricket, but I prefer the ladybug’s bins because they all match 😆

      Same here! The ladybug bins just give me a sense of peace because they are all the same. It was SO helpful to see these different styles illustrated. Thank you!!!

    I love the ladybug style, but would personally go for the light green baskets instead of the white.

    Oh goodness, you came across my feed this morning and I’ve gone deep dive. But at least I’m watching as I am insanely decluttering and cleaning. I can’t believe how much I’ve got done! So, apparently I am a lady bug, butterfly combination. Is that even possible??? Gurrrrl!!! You are my new Shero!🙌

    10:58 PS those clear organizers are FANTASTIC in bathroom and kitchen. groups things and creates a sense of order, while also making it easy to pick up and clean counter. livesaver for me.

    I love this 'side-by-side' video! I'm a butterfly, sometimes a butterbee. I grew up sharing a room with my ladybug little sister. What a battle that was!
