Sure, I have to buy my own groceries and dirty dishes aren\u2019t going to magically disappear, but moving out of my parent\u2019s house gave me the challenge to start figuring things out on my own.\nOne thing I do really miss about mom and dad\u2019s is all of the space in their house. My tiny apartment doesn\u2019t compete with my parent\u2019s spacious, midwest suburban home. There is no garage or basement let alone a spare kitchen cabinet for any excess stuff. This has forced me to live smaller and stay organized.\nIf you\u2019re someone who believes you\u2019re \u201cnot an organized person\u201d, my guest is going to change that mindset.\nJoining me today is Lucy Milligan Wahl, Founder of LMW Edits.\nAfter completing her MBA and wanting a career change, Lucy asked her friends what she was good at. The common answer? Organizing.\nLucy ran with that idea and started her own boutique professional organizing company where she provides common sense organizing solutions to modern urban living.\nBy listening to this episode, you\u2019ll get advice on managing paper in a digital world, creating a system to keep your bathroom organized, solving the Tupperware crisis, and more.\n\u00a0\nKey Takeaways:\n[4:36] Is organization a personality trait or a skill?\n[11:03] Maximizing your closest space\n[15:06] Creating separation between your bedroom and home office\n[20:32] Organization solutions for the bathroom\n[24:57] Solving the Tupperware crisis\n[30:18] Dealing with parents that give you too much stuff\n[38:28] Staying organized while living with others\n\u00a0\nFavorite Quotes:\n[4:44] \"There really isn\u2019t such a thing as an organized person. Being organized isn\u2019t a personality trait. When someone says they aren\u2019t an organized person, what they really mean is that they don\u2019t know how to organize their space.\u201d\n[8:37] \u201cClutter and disorganization just zaps all of your nonrenewable resources like your time.\u201d\n[28:45] \u201cI can\u2019t create an organizing system without context.
