Minima Organizing & Redesign

05/31/2026

Last night, the Minima team gathered to celebrate Alex's incredible ten-year milestone with the company. When I first started Minima, I never thought I would hire anyone, but I struck gold with my first employee; Alex started as an Organizing Assistant in 2016, worked her way up to Project Manager, and is now the first person most Richmond clients meet.

She has laid the foundation for our warm, collaborative team. Kind, direct, and incredibly hardworking, Alex is the glue of Minima—both our clients and staff love her. I am endlessly grateful for her decade of leadership with heart. Please join me in wishing Alex a very happy ten-year Minima-versary! 🎉🥳🎊

I recently joined the Healthified podcast to discuss how decluttering impacts nervous system regulation. If your environment feels like it's keeping you in "fight or flight," this conversation offers a path toward ease.

In contrast to my polished Google Calendar and Tasks, this is my analog to-do list, which I call my field note.

I use this thin sheet (c/o MUJI USA) to catch the two-minute tasks that don't need a home on my calendar and the mid-flow ideas that are barely formed—the ones I need to capture now and flesh out later without losing my momentum. It acts as a physical buffer, protecting my digital systems from unnecessary noise.

Each item follows a simple trajectory: it's either crossed off within a day or two or, if more complex, incorporated into my Google Calendar and Tasks.

I'm curious—does anyone else use a specific brand of paper or a notebook as a digital buffer?

Here's a look inside my pantry, which was recently featured on The Minimalists podcast. During the episode, I explained that an organized pantry isn't about matching containers; in fact, I often recommend against decanting unless you're willing to commit to the extra maintenance.

We keep our pantry organized by streamlining ingredients to create a "capsule wardrobe" for the kitchen—stocking high-quality essentials rather than buying for one-off recipes that require specific items we'll never use again.

To keep this system running, Jonathan takes stock of our inventory every Saturday morning before heading to the store. By identifying what we are low on and what needs to be used soon, we prevent overflowing shelves and minimize food waste.

"I recently had the Minima team come and declutter my kids' rooms, and I can't say enough good things about my experience! From the initial consult to the end result, everything was so seamless and like a weight off of my shoulders. Although I love decluttering and organizing myself, it was so nice to have an objective party to look over my space and offer suggestions around what I truly didn't need to keep. In one day, Minima was able to get both rooms looking how I have been trying to get them to look for years. I felt like I could breathe, which is invaluable to me! Highly recommend Minima!!" — Sara M.
