I like your "Good enough" motto! Being a perfectionist, I wanna totally organize everything perfectly at once, which results in me spending too much time in one area. So I'm definately applying this
I love how you emphasized making things "good enough" as opposed to "perfect". Its a much more attainable goal. I struggle with trying to keep everything perfect all the time and I just can't manage that standard. I love your functional approach. It looks like people actually use your closet! Glad you're back :)
Your organization technique seems to have changed Alejandra! You were a perfectionist before and now you’re a functionalist. Either case, you’re my favorite organizer and am very glad you’re back! You might explain in future videos what has changed in your life :)
Oh I didn't write it in a critical way. It's just that the difference is so conspicuous. I don't care if Alejandra shoves a bunch of clothes into a closet or takes hours to perfectly fold them. I just love watching her :D
Missy B. Yes! Her videos can double as ASMR videos too :) I must have watched her towel folding video (most recent one) 100 times to calm myself down under anxiety.
I just declutter my linen closet and I thought it was going to take 15 mins. It took almost two hours! I should have watched this video first because then I would have known not to take everything out if I only wanted to spend 15 minutes. I'm still glad I did it because now it looks amazing.--Tasha
@@richwgodslove3766 I believe she uses it as spray bottles for cleaners. I believe it's because they're glass but also fit spay bottle nosles perfectly.
I have my mother and my step father coming up to visit on Friday for 2 and a half days - so I’m doing my organising / chores and decluttering - all while I am cooking , and playing my Alejandra playlist on a loop . :-) I’m so proud of the hard work so far ..... thankfully my new pain medications work really well, so my arthritis in my spine isn’t too bad today :-) have a great week Alejandra and best wishes to Ed :-)
This video and your pantry video has inspired me more than any others, and I watch a lot. Came here from Clutter bug's channel after realizing I'm a butterfly person. so thanks to her. I have since done my closet and my pantry that had groceries still in the bags just waiting for more room, which I realized I already had and just started with one shelf. Thanks for helping a 72 yr. old lady to get thing much better than they were...on to other locations, with victory after putting things off since retiring. You're amazing!
This channel was the first to motivate me and become organised in every aspect. Happy to have you back. Started organising drawer by drawer and now it's all over my house.
This was so helpful!! I always feel like it’s all or nothing. I take everything out, make a mess and run out of time. I love the idea of just making it better, not perfect and just doing a small section at a time!
*💗 These 🕒15 min quick organizing videos are fantastic...Thank you Alejandra !!* 💗😍 👍 *Tips* 2:14 *Tackle hanging cloths first* 2:46 *Tackle the Shelf that you use the most* 3:34 you can spent a few minutes or the whole 15 min on one section..its your choice. 4:27 *Pull out items from shelf* & *sort it in piles* *Fold items* , Make it functional first. pile like items with like items and put them back on shelf... eg: pants , tops, workout , tank tops, t shirts etc. 6:40 Move to next section of space...*Repeat as before*....sort in piles, fold items , and put back in shelf.. 7:42 Use *Background Music* to make time pass by faster, and make more enjoyable. 9:51 Put *non seasonal clothing* that is not being used..in the back of the shelf. 10:51 If you run out of time...leave a note , where you left off , to continue your organizing work. 12:20 just keep going and aim for function first and later focus on the bells whistles after.
I've found your videos here in RUclips just some weeks ago and was sooo sad to found out that you stopped publishing new ones. And now I you're back! You look so great and are so inspiring to me!
Vow ! Organizing without bins or containers...so glad to see just a pretty wooden cupboard ( that's we say in India/because the British were here!) and some simple realistic folding. You look well!!! Take care!
So I am new to your community and in just two videos you have repeated to set a timer for a short about of time and to improve what is currently there. These words have changed and impacted my approach to doing getting a section tackled around my place. It's only been a couple days and things are better than they were yesterday. Thank you, Alejandra!
Alejandra, you were the first person that set my organising timer on 4 years back and its still ticking. Am glad you are back. You will always remain an inspiration. you have a different place and hope you would share some tips for people who have less access to all the good/ expensive organisers.
I was inspired by your last video to clean our pantries. I told my kids {16 & 17} that whoever could clean/organize their shelves in the least amount of time would get a "prize." We ended up having so much fun, neither cared about winning! Thanks for the tips! 😊
AMAZING! So glad you felt inspired by the last video, took action, AND HAD FUN doing it with your kids!! Fun is found in the present moment. I really appreciate you sharing this with me. Thank you. Please give your kids a high-five for me!! :)
So grateful that your posting videos again! Love your tips on organizing... I sold my house (the one that I have organized with so much love and all your videos help), now I’m living on a rent house until my new house is ready (I can’t wait!) so I will love some videos about organizing before and after you’re moving between houses. Thank you for posting and let’s organize!
IM SO HAPPY I COULD CRY! YOUR BACK! I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS THEY MAKE MY DAY AND IM SO SO SO THANKFUL YOU ARE BACK ON RUclips! I SCREAMED WHEN I SAW YOUR VIDEO IN MY FEED! I LOVE YOUUU!!!!
I too like many others have said here have missed Alejandra's videos, but somehow these new videos seem different. I often watch some of her older videos to reinforce some of the great ideas I already learned from her. Those videos seemed to be more structured organization, with containers and labels (in closets, cabinets and drawers). I guess Alejandra is down sizing. She mentioned something to that effect in a previous video when mentioning the move to their new farm house. I still am glad she has returned with weekly videos. I have previously learned how to organize my bathroom cabinet (below sink), coat closet (and other closets with non -plastic, matching hangers) and just other areas of my home on a budget (Alejandra gave dollar store ideas). All her older videos seemed a little OCD to perfection which I loved. So many areas of my home ( I live in a 1 bedroom apt) are so well organized due to her numerous ideas. Thank you for that Alejandra. Maybe I now need to take a hint from Alejandra on down sizing.
I liked hearing what your reasoning was as you went on. How this is a temporary space and there is no point in adding anything to the shelf for that reason. That is helpful to me. Thank you.
Alejandra I have missed you so much on RUclips! You were one of the first RUclips interest of mine. . .way back before I really understood what RUclips actually about. I hope you continue to inspire us now and many more videos to come. Tell Ed hello! Happy Day Alejandra is back!
Glad to see you are back , and LOVE your new approach “just make it better than it was” Because making it perfect or like pintrist or instagram worthy is sooo frustrating! Keep up the good work and take care.
Me encantan tus vídeos, Alejandra! Not only do you have wonderful organizing skills: creativity + common sense, but you are such a joy to watch. So pleasant and nice. Thank you.
I am so happy that you are back, Alejandra! You have been missed by so many! At around 9:15 in the video, mention an "over the shelf bin" that you could get to help break up the tall vertical space... could you please direct me to a product? I have a few shelves that are too tall. THANK YOU!!
Good question! This is what I was referring to: www.containerstore.com/s/kitchen/cabinet-organizers/undershelf-baskets/12d?productId=10000700 It comes in silver as well. They are great for wooden shelves and I can see storing socks, underwear, tights, bras, sports bras, bathing suits, etc. Basically anything small! It's made for the kitchen but can be used in the closet as well. The part that slides on the shelf is adjustable if your shelves after slightly thicker/thinner. I hope that helps! Thank you for being here, Heather! :)
@@HomeOrganizing Thank you SO MUCH! I think you are just wonderful and delightful. I've been a PPP member for years. Your videos are inspiring and soothing all at the same time. I will sometimes carry your around on my iPad while organizing. Thanks again for all you do for the community!
She doesn't look younger, but she really hasn't aged much. I notice the color of her hair makes a difference too. The videos of her with black hair are where she looked the youngest.
I do the same - tanks, short sleeve, long sleeve. I do colors white/cream, black/grey, brown, then colors of the rainbow red orange yellow green blue and purple. Makes everything so easy to find and put away, too.
I use this method to achieve a lot of things. I enjoy fixing a short period of time to quickly achieve something rather than be overwhelmed by all I need to do.
I love your challenge to just make things better than they are were in 15 minutes. That is really doable. Sometimes it’s so difficult to even imagine the “after” when the “before” is out of control. Starting small and seeing improvement is very motivating. Thank you so much! Welcome back!
You must be psychic! We just redecorated our bedroom and my now my clothes need rehoming in a new space. The task was daunting but in doing 15 a day and I’m on day 2. X
Your method in folding towels is awesome i still use it every time and each time i fold a towel i remember you cuz now my closet looks so much better ❤️❤️ keep up the great work and love from EGypt 🇪🇬 ❤️❤️
Hey! Missed you! Hope you are ok. You look very tired. We love y our videos and they are a great help! I have to clean my bedroom closet out and get rid of old clothes, so I am very glad to have this first! To give me good ideas! Hug to you, Alejandra!
I'm soo happy ur uploading again.. I found ur channel about 2-3 years ago and binge watched all ur vids and got super inspired I'm soo excited to see what new things u have to show!
Your videos are the best, so glad you are back! You are the reason I got into organizing more seriously and started my youtube channel! Hope to see lots more of your videos coming up!
Prime Real Estate for jumpers ! Love it !! ('Jumper' is the Uk word for 'sweater') We always think its funny when you call them sweaters ! When I was little, I used to think you must sweat in them or something !
Who else gave it a thumbs up before watching? Two videos in less than a week. Woohoo!!!
Totally did!!!
me too :) I was so happy to see a new video :)
I love it :)
I like your "Good enough" motto! Being a perfectionist, I wanna totally organize everything perfectly at once, which results in me spending too much time in one area. So I'm definately applying this

Great to hear your linen closet looks amazing! Now you have proof that you can organize a space (if you need it!). Good job, Tasha!
Alejandra is the queen of organization! She started all this and I’m so glad she is back!
Yes, you're back!!! Do you have plans to release a video once a week? It would be so great if you did ---we all were suffering from withdrawal!!!
I intend to post a video every Sunday at 8PM EST! :)
@@HomeOrganizing Did you ever post a video on how you use the garlic wine vinegar? I never found it. If not can you post a link for me please?
