August Media Features & Organizing Highlights with Di is Organized
August has been such a fun and inspiring month! Between back-to-school prep, helping families reset their homes, and enjoying the last bits of summer, I’ve also had the exciting honor of being featured in some amazing media outlets. From fresh decluttering methods to practical tips for tackling the post-travel mess, this month was all about simple systems that make life feel lighter.
One highlight was being featured in The Spruce, where I shared what minimalists declutter after a trip—because let’s be honest, unpacking is never just about the suitcase! I also had the chance to talk about new decluttering methods that keep you motivated and prevent decision fatigue (because we all know decluttering doesn’t have to be overwhelming).
Each feature was a reminder of why I love this work: helping moms and families create homes that feel calm, functional, and aligned with the season they’re in.
Keep scrolling for a full roundup of where Di is Organized showed up this month. I hope these stories give you fresh motivation to simplify your own space and try out a new system or two!
