🧴 Meet the SUNSCREEN Organizer: Sentimental, Stash-Happy & Ready for a Fresh Start

Okay, let’s keep it real: if you’re a Sunscreen Organizer, your relationship with stuff is… complicated. You’ve got piles with purpose (sort of), drawers that tell stories, and boxes that hold everything from receipts to your high school t-shirt collection.

You want to be organized—you really do—but you just don’t know where to start. And when you try, it’s easy to get overwhelmed, frustrated, or just plain stuck.

I see you. I’ve worked with so many Sunscreens, and let me say this loud and clear:

You’re not lazy. You’re not messy. You’re not broken. You’re just someone who needs a simple, no-pressure system that actually makes sense for how your brain and heart work.

🧠 So… Who Is the Sunscreen Organizer?

Sunscreen Organizing Personalities are often creative, caring, and busy. You’ve got a full life, and organizing often falls to the bottom of the list—until it drives you nuts.

Let’s fix that.

You might be a Sunscreen if:

• You save things because they’re sentimental (even if you don’t really need them).

• You stash stuff anywhere—closets, bags, bins, boxes—“just to get it out of the way.”

• You have multiple “project piles” or half-finished attempts at organizing.

• You can’t find what you need… but you know it’s in there somewhere.

• You want things to be easy and functional, but you’re stuck on where (and how) to begin.

  
  

🌈 Tips & Tricks for Sunscreen Success

1. Start Tiny—Like, Really Tiny

Don’t aim to organize your whole house this weekend. Start with one drawer. One basket. One pile. Give yourself 15 minutes and call it a win. Small victories build momentum.

Pro Tip: Use a timer and play your favorite playlist. Make it fun, not punishment.

2. Label Like Your Life Depends on It

Sunscreens often forget where they’ve put things. Labels are your secret weapon. Label bins, baskets, shelves—anything that holds stuff. Even if the contents are hidden, your brain will thank you.

3. Sort First, Sentiment Later

Trying to declutter and decide if that college hoodie “sparks joy” at the same time? Nope. Sort items into categories first—then go back and make emotional decisions when your brain isn’t in chaos mode.

4. Create a “Memory Box” (and Stick to It)

Sentimental clutter is real—and it’s okay to keep meaningful things! But give them a home. Use one labeled bin or box per person. Once it’s full, it’s time to curate, not expand.

5. Use Clear Bins or Open Storage

If it’s out of sight, it’s often out of mind. Transparent containers or open-top baskets help you see what you have, so you’re not buying duplicates (or losing your favorite things).

6. Make It EASY to Put Stuff Away

Forget perfection. The best system is one that’s easy to maintain. Think open baskets, no lids, shallow drawers, or grab-and-go cubbies. Your goal? Fewer steps = more success.

7. Schedule a Monthly Reset

Set a reminder on your phone for a quick “declutter check-in” every month. Toss trash, re-home items, and refresh your space. It’s like brushing your teeth for your home—do it regularly and things won’t build up.

8. Get Help (It’s Not Cheating!)

Sunscreen organizers benefit BIG time from a buddy or professional organizer. Someone to keep you focused, ask the right questions, and make the process less overwhelming. It’s okay to need support!

💛 Final Thoughts

If you’re a Sunscreen, organizing isn’t about color-coordinated bins and Pinterest-worthy pantries. It’s about creating simple, sustainable systems that help you find what you need, love what you keep, and feel more in control of your space.

No guilt. No shame. No unrealistic pressure.

Just progress, peace of mind, and maybe a drawer that doesn’t make you cringe.
