Clear's practical framework has proven remarkably effective for maintaining organization long-term. - "Tidying Up with Marie Kondo" on Netflix – This series has deeply influenced my philosophy on keeping items that "spark joy" and respecting possessions. The visual transformation examples provide excellent reference points for our work together.
