In this episode of Munira's Musings, I sit down with Miriam Ortiz, a certified professional organizer, business coach, and self-proclaimed systems nerd.

Miriam shares her five-step process for organizing—dreaming, decluttering, creating systems, forming habits, and delighting in the results—while emphasizing the importance of continuous curating to maintain order.

She reflects on her career as a media planner in San Francisco, the challenges of working within corporate structures, and the journey that led her to entrepreneurship.

Key Takeaways:

Clutter is Unmade Decisions – Miriam explains that clutter often results from postponed decision-making, which requires mental energy. By preparing in advance, decluttering becomes faster and more manageable.

Systems Create Stability – Having systems in place allows for quick resets, reducing stress and making the organization sustainable in the long run.

Organization Fuels Freedom – Miriam shares how an organized life isn’t about perfection but about knowing where things are, making daily life smoother, and allowing more time for meaningful activities.
