In this enlightening talk, Shira Gill, a globally recognized home organizing expert, shares her wisdom on leading an organized life, the impact of minimalism, and the art of decluttering.
Drawing from her book, ‘Organized Living: Solutions and Inspiration for Your Home’, she provides practical strategies and insights to transform your living space and lifestyle.
The Genesis of ‘Organized Living’
The idea for the book ‘Organized Living’ germinated during a solitary walk.
Recognizing a gap in literature about home organizers, Gill decided to create a book featuring real home organizers and their unique strategies, thus providing an exclusive look into their meticulously kept world.
Inclusivity in Selection
The selection process for the homes featured in ‘Organized Living’ was broad and inclusive.
Gill sought diverse submissions, representing various lifestyles, locations, and home types.
From hundreds of submissions, she chose 25 that represented a variety of backgrounds and perspectives.
Gill’s Organizing Headquarters
Gill’s dining-room table serves as her headquarters for everything.
Despite living in a smaller space, she has created an enclosed system where everything she owns is concealed behind closed doors, making this area the hardest-working part of her home.
I think often, people equate organizing with running out to purchase products. And in fact, organizing is a skill. And you don’t need to buy anything. – Shira Gill
