It’s no easy feat getting your home organized by yourself, but enlisting the help or your spouse and kids isn’t always easy either. Work together, give them some grace, and have patience. They’ll come around...eventually.

It’s so easy to put things off and put things off. This week I’m challenging you to make a list and begin to take all those things you’ve “been meaning to” do.

It’s already October which means we are in the last quarter of the year. You can still get organized in 2018, but you’re going to have to plan ahead. The holiday season is fast approaching, let’s get ahead of the eight ball before life gets ahead of us.

What did vacation teach me about organizing? Hotel living can make life much simpler and more relaxing, but how can we bring that into our own homes? Tap into how you feel when you travel, and think how you make things more streamlined with routines and planning. Having less visible clutter can help you mentally relax. And how is organizing like real estate? It’s all about location, location, location. Items out of place can become utterly worthless, so don’t let them take up prime real estate. Items that you use and love every day are worth more no matter what their considered resale value, give them them the home they truly deserve. Don’t let your clutter take away valuable space in your home, your life, and your mind.
