It’s no secret that life can get overwhelming, even in summer, and even on vacation!

And as much as I love the Eisenhower Matrix - you know the one with the 4 quadrants (in blue below) - sometimes everything simply feels urgent AND important.

So what happens then? How do you decide what comes next?

How do you remember the good stuff?

I know humans are wired to remember negative events because, you know, survival; but I find my brain to be waaayy too good at that at times. 

So I’ve developed a little strategy to make sure I look back on life and can see the progress, remember the fun outings, and reminisce on the good times.

I’ve got 2 things for you today.

THING 1: Whose voice do you hear in your head when you make decisions about clutter?

THING 2: Join us for "Do I Need This?"

I’m often reminded of the importance of teamwork in decluttering and organizing because sometimes, when you feel stuck, all you need is someone to brainstorm solutions with or to shoulder the workload together.

HOT TAKE: The organization business is a bit of a scam!

Wait! What?

Let me explain!

Being organized is not a scam, but capitalism has made it another thing to agonize over, compare ourselves to, and spend our money on, and that’s certainly NOT why I decided to become a Professional Organizer!
