Hey Guys, In this episode, I share about how a simple $20 whiteboard transformed my life and can do the same for you. I introduce the concept of a communication system that helps families stay organized and on the same page about daily schedules. By writing down the day’s events, activities, and even chores, the whiteboard serves as a visual reminder for everyone in the household. But it can also serve as an accountability manager, a planning tool, and a mindfulness prompt. Here is a link to the whiteboard I bought but any will work! https://amzn.to/48hycyM Here's the link to join us in the decluttering challenges: https://www.facebook.com/groups/declutteryourchaos And finally, here is my website:  www.declutteryourchaos.com XO, Amber
