Decluttering Tips and Support Weekly Newsletter Vol. 54Dear Reader, Most of us grew up with this mantra about rest planted firmly in our heads: Or perhaps you see rest as a reward when EVERYTHING is done...except here's the thing - it's never all done. π On the PodcastThis week on the podcast I had the pleasure of speaking to Courtney Carver from Be More with Less about her new book Gentle: Rest More, Stress Less, and Live the Life You Actually Want. Specifically, we dive into: Things I'm Loving Right Nowβ¨ One of my favorite tools to stay organized is my scanner! I love ScanSnap and try to scan important documents at least once a week. I also use the Notes app on my iPhone which can easily scan documents as well! β¨ My decluttering/organizing resource of the week is the The Modern Momβs Simple Home Reimagined Summit coming up on March 1st and hosted by Mia Danielle. It's a free 3-day event that will help you master simple systems, streamline your routines, and enjoy a calm space that aligns with your roles and needs. Register here! β¨ My favorite meal of the week (although my kids were less impressed this time around π) is this super simple slow cooker chicken curry. Bold but not spicy! 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!
