The article details the author's experience of moving to Paris and the challenges of downsizing to a 320-square-meter rental studio while integrating their belongings with those of the owner. To manage this limited space, the author enlisted professional organizer Kim Jones' help and applied her 'chaos method' for unpacking and organization. This method involves removing all items, evaluating their necessity, and grouping similar items to optimize space. The author emphasizes the importance of visibility for frequently used items, leading to a more efficient kitchen setup despite the initial time investment required for proper organization.
