Have you ever wondered how two people can look at the exact same object and see something completely different? In this episode, we’re exploring object classification — the unconscious way our brains decide what something is and what should happen to it, basically... why we see the same things so differently.Take, for example, a glass left on the kitchen bench. Is it a dirty cup that needs to go in the dishwasher, or a glass someone left there to remind them to stay hydrated? The way we classify that glass can vary wildly between people — and often causes tension in households.Unpack how internal classification systems shape our daily routines, from 'half-worn clothes' to kids’ ongoing play setups, and why these small differences can lead to big misunderstandings. Amy shares real-life examples and practical hacks — like colour-coded cups, designated zones for in-between clothes, and clearer family communication — to reduce confusion and frustration.Ultimately, understanding object classification helps us see that what looks like clutter or laziness might actually be logic — just not our kind of logic.Listen Next...Object PermanenceJoin our community Leave a Google ReviewFollow me on InstagramFollow me on FacebookJoin my Facebook groupLeave a review on Apple PodcastThank you to my sound engineer, Jarred from Four4ty Studio.

Reducing Volume
When you look around a space and feel like the clutter is EVERYWHERE reducing the volume is a great hack to reduce overwhelm so you can tackle your clutter in an intentional and ordered manner. Use like with like boxes, or intentional doom boxes to reduce the volume (amount of space the clutter takes up or is spread over). Tackling clutter once you know what you're actually dealing with is so much easier than looking at spread out clutter and trying to figure out where to start. These tips work well for kids and teenagers too!
