Room by Room: The Home Organization Science Insights podcast, talks to experts about different aspects of the science behind home organization. Life Management Science Labs developed this podcast to increase the quality of life in your home and make it more livable. We talk about why you should make your bed, we tackle clutter and why it happens, why big tiles are more hygienic, and so much more. Each topic addresses an element from the comprehensive framework of several domains and elements created by the Center for Home Organization Science.
Waking up to a home that offers functionality and cleanliness seems like the norm for many of us, but for some, is a struggle too big to tackle. This week on Room by Room: The Home Organization Science Insights Podcast, host Sarah Stancombe consults researcher Dr. Stella C. Sabi on the relationship between substandard living conditions and food insecurity, and the small steps people can take to reorganize their home. Dr. Stella C. Sabi obtained her doctorate in Food Security from the University of KwaZulu-Natal in South Africa. She has presented her research findings at several local and international platforms including the first SA Higher Education Colloquium on Food Insecurity at Universities, The “9th Annual Teaching and Learning in Higher Education Conference”, and the “2016 New York City International Academic Conference on Education & Social Sciences”. With a background in Policy and Development Studies, Dr. Stella C. Sabi has authored scientific peer-reviewed journals and book chapters on food security, land policy, and HIV/AIDS-treatment policy advocacy. In this episode, Dr. Stella C. Sabi stresses the misconception that those living in squalor are lazy. Often, people's living conditions are reduced due to factors outside of their control, such as a mental or physical health condition. In reality, people are ashamed of their substandard living conditions and thus isolate themselves from society for fear of judgement. Together, Sarah and Dr. Stella C. Sabi discuss how more well-off people can assist in helping those in squalor both with cleaning and with food security. When offering food, those living with food insecurity deserve a choice as you never know what food allergies or intolerances they may have. Ultimately, networking and community is the best way for those living in squalor to help themselves. Follow Dr. Stella C.

Step into the world of pristine closets and perfectly folded linens with our latest episode of Room by Room! Host Gabriella Joustra invites Tristin Chiafullo, a home organization guru and personal trainer, to unveil the secrets behind mastering laundry room organization for optimal fabric care. Get ready to revolutionize your laundry routine and preserve your wardrobe effortlessly! Tristin Chiafullo is originally from New Castle, PA, with three out-of-state moves over the last 20 years as an adult. Those moves helped her to determine what truly mattered to her. She has always had a ‘knack' for organizing and a desire for an environment that was always ‘in order.' For Tristin, order means peace and focus. She learned that she values peace over almost everything, so her environment needed to reflect that. Tristin believes that to achieve this in every area of your home, you have to approach everything you bring to it with intention. You have to think about the value, not of the items, but the value the items bring to our lives. Do the items support the life you truly want? She always asks herself this question to ensure she only has things around that offer value and joy and provide a need that contributes to the lifestyle that she wants to live. This is the primary approach she uses with every client and every project she takes to ensure that her clients can maintain the spaces she creates. In this enlightening episode, Tristin shares her top strategies for maintaining garment integrity and streamlining laundry tasks. By hanging clothes straight from the dryer, she eliminates the need for tedious ironing sessions, offering a time-saving solution for busy individuals. Emphasizing the importance of proper sorting, she advocates for separating lights, darks, delicates, and towels to prevent color bleeding and fabric damage. Plus, she reveals a pro tip: washing bed sheets immediately after removal ensures freshness and prolongs their lifespan. Tune in to uncover Tristin's expert insights and revolutionize your laundry routine today!
