Ever feel like you need to have everything perfectly labeled, color-coded, and pinned to a vision board before you’re allowed to make something? Yeah… no thanks.
This week on Crafty Ass Female, we’re breaking down what it means to be organized enough—and why that’s all you actually need to get started.
Whether your paints are in rainbow order or shoved in a box (hi, same), this episode is about finding what works for you—not for whatever everyone else is doing online.
What You’ll Get from This Episode
Here’s what we’re diving into:
My paint chaos confession: why I’ve been procrastinating organizing my paints (and how it’s actually helping me learn what I love)
What “organized enough” really means: spoiler—it’s not about your shelves, it’s about your creative flow
Creative friction & real-life fixes: small shifts that make it easier to sit down and actually make stuff
This episode is for you if you’ve been telling yourself:
“I’ll get back to creating as soon as I get my space together.”
Big Takeaways
🎨 You can’t organize a mystery.
If you’re still figuring out how you want to use something — like I am with paint — give yourself space to experiment before you try to build the perfect system.
✏️ “Organized enough” = less friction.
It’s not about looking pretty — it’s about reducing the tiny decisions that get in the way of making stuff.
🖌 Organize around your real life, not your fantasy studio.
Your space should support how you work right now. That’s the whole point.
What’s one creative supply that’s feeling a little chaotic right now?
Pick just one (mine is paints). Ask yourself:
Do I know how I want to use this?
Or am I still figuring it out?
Let that be enough. You’re allowed to be in process.
Hit reply if you feel like sharing—or come chat with us at the Awesome Ladies Project. Organization Week is coming up soon, and this episode is the perfect warm-up.
You’re doing great. Mess and all.
See you next week for more creative goodness!
