Catherine provides a brief overview of the tool, Time and Space Style Inventory, that she uses to help clients understand themselves. 
 
In this first episode of a 7 part series, Catherine explains the major components to Space -
  • Arranging Space
  • Assigning Value
  • Tolerating Disorder
She then describes the Everything Out/Nothing Out styles, which are how you arrange your space.
 
The Everything Out needs to see all of their papers and other items, so they don’t forget to get the work done.
 
The Nothing Out dislikes clutter and mess but may be prone to stashing items away making it difficult to find them later.
 
Catherine enters the judgement free zone to describe the challenges of each, while quipping about the denial that can be inherent in each style. She then offers strategies for each style.
