Get Off the Tidying Hamster Wheel 🐹
Decluttering Tips and Support Weekly Newsletter Vol. 50Dear Reader, When my boys learned they actually had a FULL day of school yesterday (instead of a snow day or 2-hour delay), this was their response: Meanwhile, my mom friends and I were: On the PodcastOne of the benefits of the kids being back in school is that they aren't leaving their stuff (what my organizer friend Lisa Lizotte lovingly calls "droppings") all over the house. This week's podcast episode was inspired by someone in the Facebook group: “I’m fighting so hard for a peaceful home that is clear of clutter. My mind can’t handle the mess. It doesn’t seem to matter how much I take out and how constantly I do tidy ups…The mess keeps exploding and I feel like I’m doing nothing but tidying up from sunrise to sunset.” Can you relate? In Episode 176, I share my 3 steps to get you off the tidy up hamster wheel - for good! Things I'm Loving Right Now✨ Now that my kids are FINALLY going back to school, I have been focusing on keeping my work tasks organized so I can work more efficiently. One of my favorite tools to stay organized is Meistertask. I love how I can duplicate cards with specific workflows that I repeat often! ✨ My organizing resource of the week is the book Organizing for the Rest of Us by Dana K. White. SUCH helpful guidance, especially if you're not "naturally" organized! ✨ My favorite meal of the week is this sausage zucchini soup! What are some things you're loving right now? Hit reply and let me know. On the journey with you, Emily P.S. Skipped to the end? No problem!

Decluttering Tips and Support Dear Reader, Our house is getting packed up on Monday and we are officially moving to Pennsylvania in two weeks. Needless to say, my mind is racing with a million to-do's. Unfortunately, most of the to-do's aren't fun but rather boring "adulting" ones like going to the dump, putting together Banker boxes, and making phone calls.
