The CEO Method is a structured, empowering approach to home organization through Collecting, Editing, and Organizing. By breaking down tasks into manageable steps, it allows you to transform your home into a space that supports your life and goals.
I developed the CEO Method to give people a simple yet powerful way to take charge of their home and life. The “CEO” part isn’t just about organizing—it’s about becoming the “Chief Executive” of your environment and your life. Whether that means creating a calm space, boosting productivity, or just making day-to-day living easier, the CEO Method—Collect, Edit, Organize—helps you get there. It’s all about empowering you to set up a space that truly supports your unique lifestyle and goals.
Here’s How the CEO Method Works:
- Collect
Start by gathering everything in a specific category (e.g., paperwork, pantry items). Collecting gives you a clear view of your belongings, helping you understand what you have and create a focused starting point.
Goal: Build awareness and focus by assessing all your items at once. - Edit
In this step, evaluate each item’s purpose, deciding what to keep, donate, or discard. Editing reduces clutter and clears space, mentally and physically, by keeping only what adds value.
Goal: Create space for what matters by letting go of non-essential items. - Organize
Arrange your essentials in a way that’s easy to maintain and visually appealing. Use bins, drawers, and other systems that fit your lifestyle, making organization functional and sustainable.
Goal: Establish practical systems to maintain a clutter-free home effortlessly.
Why Choose the CEO Method?
The CEO Method encourages organization with purpose and clarity, transforming your home step-by-step. By focusing on one area each week, you gradually assume the role of “CEO” of your space, leading to a streamlined, supportive environment.
Overcoming Common Challenges
Transforming your home with the CEO Method isn’t without its challenges. Here are some obstacles and strategies to overcome them:
- Overwhelm: Break down large tasks, celebrate small wins, and start with one drawer or shelf at a time.
- Letting Go of Sentimental Items: Focus on items that serve your current life, and use “Maybe” bins to revisit uncertain items.
- Decision Fatigue: Limit sessions to an hour and take breaks.
- Finding the Right Systems: Begin with simple storage solutions, and adapt as needed.
- Consistency: Establish routines to keep organized spaces intact.
- Balancing Function and Aesthetics: Prioritize functionality first, then add decor for style.
Facing these challenges is a natural part of the CEO Method journey. With patience, practice, and a willingness to experiment, you can transform your space into an organized, functional, and enjoyable place to live.
