Ask an Expert - Overcoming Perfectionism in Organization with Proven Tips | Ep 391

This Organized Life: Organizing Tips for Busy Moms to Declutter, Boost Productivity, & Simplify Life

Hi Friends,
We’re kicking off our Ask An Expert monthly series with a question from our TOL community!
Joining me is Dani Cooper, a mom of 3, from Kansas City, who is also an Enneagram Coach and Enneagram 1 (also known as the Perfectionist).
Dani’s question is something that I hear often: “How do I stop telling myself that I’m messy and that my house isn’t as organized as it could be?”
Some key take-aways from our conversation include:

• The importance of writing down specific goals and benchmarks to refer back to (Enneagram 1’s like their lists!)

• Being intentional with using all 3 intelligence centers: specifically thinking and feeling, (since Enneagram 1’s can get wrapped up in their doing center).

• Reframing a win from completing an entire macro project, to defining success in organizing a smaller micro area

This is a great conversation about understanding the importance of defining organizing strategies that align with your natural personality tendencies.
