The creator, Alisha, documents the process of hiring a professional organizer, Bailey, to declutter and reorganize her messy pantry and fridge. She shows the 'before' state, the process of emptying everything out and discovering most of it is expired, and explains how the organizer created systems tailored to her ADHD brain, like a 'vending machine' for drinks in the fridge. The video culminates in a satisfying 'after' reveal of the hyper-organized pantry, showcasing clear bins, labels, and a dedicated snack station, before ending with a call-to-action for the next part of the series.

Hi. I'm Alicia. I have Matt ADHD. So this is Bailey. She's a professional organizer, and she's helping organize my entire life and house. This is part four, and we are doing the pantry. You actually may remember about a year ago, I actually cleaned out the pantry, and I thought I did a really good job, but there better some minor things that Bailey came in and was like, we gotta fix these. First of all, ew, I'm so sorry. I don't know what stained this. I don't know. I think it was the drawers that I had before. I am so sorry. It looks disgusting. It's not mold. I promise. As you can see, we took every single thing I own out and put it in the kitchen to really see what is in this pantry because there worse stuff I, like, completely forgot about. And sad to say, I would say 70% of it was actually expired. I will say I did learn that this pantry is really deep, so it is easy to lose things. And especially if you have ADHD, out of sight, out of mind. Like, if I can't see something, I forget I own it. It. One thing she's really taught me is that every single client is different, so really make systems around your own needs. For instance, I have a lot of drinks in my fridge, so she said, why not just make your own little vending machine? She got these drink dispensers, and it literally makes it so fun in my fridge. I'm not even kidding. Like, I'm so sorry. Does this not give you serotonin? Like, this oh my god. Alright. Let's get back to the pantry though because this is the big one. And again, I did it about a year ago. It wasn't horrible. I tried doing the right things. I labeled clear containers, but one thing that I realized is that there are a lot of things that I didn't use that I thought I would use. So this is the before and here is the after. Oh, my god. I get it. I get the serotonin best. Like, wow. I feel like everything has a spot. And because before, I really didn't know what I used in my pantry that much, now I actually know what I yes. So I know what bins I need more of. For instance, the popcorn bucket, we need a big bucket. We still utilize the clear containers, which really helps again if you have ADHD because I need to see everything. We labeled everything too, but instead of just having one bag that's chips, we kinda divvied up everything. Also hide this little, like, candy movie theater snack area. Obsessed. And the next time we record the podcast here at the house, I I know Zayn and Heath are gonna be all over these candies. Also, I really like how the wire baskets are still, like, clear enough so you can see through them. And then at the very, very top, there's two baskets that are are covered. But what's cool is the only time I would need them is if I'm having a party because there's, like, party supplies and stuff. PS, it was bring your dog to work day today and, hi. I love it. Comment below what we should organize next and I love you. I'll see you next time.
