If you’ve ever found yourself sweeping clutter into a basket moments before guests arrive, congratulations – you may have unknowingly mastered the art of DOOM basket organizing. The name sounds dramatic, but the method is surprisingly simple.

I thought it was just another clever acronym making light of the mess we all secretly hide. But the more I read, the more I realized this method had real traction as it's not just about tidying up, but letting go of the guilt that so often comes along with clutter, making the process easier than ever.
