Just like brushing your teeth or showering or washing your hair it’s something you have to do regularly. Totally agree with marxinista that everything should have a place that makes things so much easier! I would say just when you take clothes off, put them in a hamper (I like the multi-compartment ones for sorting) or hang them up, throw trash away immediately, wash dishes after you use them, try to prevent clutter before it even accumulates. Try the flylady method! Omg ALSO I love my robot vacuum running it daily really helps

Less stuff: I got rid of like 1/2 my clothes now I have 1/2 as many clothes to fold. It is amazing.
Cup Collection: It’s mostly usually cups and clothes ya? having a dishwasher helps A LOT if you don’t have a dishwasher that is very hard, I’m sorry.
I just try to load and unload the dishwasher once a day. Cup collection time. unload dishwasher in the AM and put stuff in and run before bed (takes like 5–10 min each way).
Counter Clear: I put away all my skincare after every time I use it. Bathroom counter (or vanity if you use that). Takes like 2 min and is visually helpful to not have that clutter.
Extra tips:
Vacuum rly quick for like 5 min every day or two (my cats make a mess so it’s easier to want to do this).
Mop once a week on Fridays (I have my husband do this)
House keeper comes once a month on the Friday before I menstruate and can’t do anything but be a blob And just cleans in a way I didn’t even know was possible and really just helps reset.

i feel a different kind of reset when I declutter and deep clean. the kind of cleaning where i (struggling btw) to pull out the fridge to get behind it and I’m on my hands and knees with an old toothbrush to get into the crevices unseen before but somehow has 6+months of accumulated dust & dirt. all my shelves are nice and neat with the labels pulled forward, my clothes are folded and hung identically, my carpets have been deodorized and have fresh vacuum lines, couch has been wet-vac’d, fluffed, and arranged perfectly. ceiling fans, shelves, books cases and tops of cabinet have been dusted, disinfected and wiped. All my dishes have been re-washed, the cabinets & drawers dumped out and cleaned, food sorted in toss(expired), donate, and re-shelf. Bathroom spick and span. I just love when i do a deep clean with my series of podcast, shows and music to keep me entertained in the background. I even gave both my cats a deep clean: de-shed comb through, bath, de-shed comb again, nails clipped and ears cleaned. the got the de-shed comb twice because I really did want them to trap hair on my freshly cleaned couch and carpets. my apartment smells divine with the fragrance I put on.
Now for my everything shower! today (Monday=BUZY with work) hurts less since I get to go back to my spotless home and cook a nice meal with a podcast on and my cats watching me.

My dad teases me about how when I was a little kid, my favorite thing to do when I was on the landline phone with somebody—be it a relative or one of my best friends—was to breathlessly describe the things that were in my bedroom so that they could have a mental picture of everything I loved and chose to surround myself with, and where I sat at that moment in time. Perfectly Imperfect reminds me of that so thanks for always listening and for sharing with me too 💌

I’ve been thinking about how much of social media is centered around curating our self-image. When selfies first became popular, they were dismissed as vain and vapid—a critique often rooted in misogyny—but now, the way we craft our online selves feels more like creating monuments.
We try to signal our individuality, hoping to be seen and understood, but ironically, I think this widens the gap between how others perceive us and who we really are. Instead of fostering connection, it can invite projection and misinterpretation—preconceived notions, prefab labels, and stereotypes. Worse, individuality has become branded and commodified, reducing our identities to products for others to consume.
On most platforms, validation often comes from how well you can curate and present your image—selfies, aesthetic branding, and lifestyle content tend to dominate. High engagement is tied to visibility, not necessarily depth or substance. But I think spaces like PI.FYI show that there’s another way: where connection is built on shared ideas, tastes, and interests rather than surface-level content. It’s refreshing to be part of a community that values thoughts over optics.
By sharing so few images of myself, I’ve found that it gives others room to focus on my ideas and voice. When I do share an image, it feels intentional—something that contributes to the story I want to tell rather than defining it. Sharing less allows me to express who I am beyond appearance.
For women, especially, sharing less can be a radical act in a world where the default is to objectify ourselves. It resists the pressure to center appearance, focusing instead on what truly matters: our thoughts, voices, and authenticity. I’ve posted a handful of pictures of myself in 2,500 posts because I care more about showing who I am than how I look.
In trying to be seen, are we making it harder for others to truly know us? It’s a question worth considering.
