How to Create Systems That Keep Your Home and Mind Clutter-Free
Welcome back to the Dr. Kinney Show! In today’s episode, I’m joined by professional organizer Susie Salinas, founder of Systems by Susie, to talk all about the life-changing power of home organization. Susie shares how she helps busy families and businesses develop long-term systems to stay organized without the stress.
We explore how physical clutter affects your mental load, the difference between organizing and systemizing, and why so many people struggle to maintain order in their homes—even when they’ve “cleaned up.” Whether you're drowning in laundry, overwhelmed by your kids’ school papers, or simply trying to stay on top of life, Susie offers practical and compassionate advice to help you get back in control.
We also dive into the emotional side of clutter, including why letting go of items can be so difficult, and how organization can create freedom, space, and even better family dynamics.
In this episode, we discuss:
The connection between physical clutter and mental overwhelm
How to create simple systems that work for your lifestyle
Why organization is not one-size-fits-all
Common reasons people resist letting go of things
How Susie turned her personal strengths into a successful organizing business
Small changes that can create big impact in your home
