How to Tackle Family Clutter by Heat Mapping

March 16, 2020

 

Tackle Family Clutter with Heat Maps
 

Many tidying techniques promise to keep down family clutter. One of the simplest and most creative of these techniques is heat mapping, which identifies problem areas within the home.
A heat map represents values with colors, and heat mapping for clutter works because the practice yields data. If you were to heat map your living space, which rooms would be labeled red?
On this week’s episode I interview fellow blogger and podcaster Mia Danielle. Mia shows us how to sort possessions using heat mapping principles; she offers her favorite simple routines to keep down family clutter, too, including separating the weak from the herd, working left-to-right, and embracing delayed gratification.

Enjoy!
