The Power of a "Yes" List 🔥


Decluttering Tips and Support Weekly Newsletter Vol. 30

Dear Reader,

We're used to writing mile-long to-do lists, but have you ever written a "yes" list?

A "yes" list is a list of everything you have said "yes" to. Those could range from commitments and obligations to simple things like....keeping small humans alive. 🤣

In yesterday's episode, I speak to my friend Jessica Jackson from the Thriving in Motherhood Podcast about how to write out your "yes" list and evaluate it so you can truly understand what matters right now - and pause or eliminate the rest.

(P.S. when your normal podcast recording space is unavailable, you use your son's bedroom with the fun artwork!)

If you want some more amazing tips to help you manage your home, I've got you!

In Episode 147 I shared 5 home management hacks that help keep my home tidy. The one I'm loving right now - running the dishwasher every night!

If you need help creating systems in your home to keep it tidy, snag a decluttering coaching session with me! OR come into the Facebook group where we start a new decluttering challenge on Monday! Hope to see you there!

On the journey with you,

Emily

(And getting the letter "r" in a sentence that many times is really remarkable 😜). But how do we prioritize rest in a hustle-driven culture? On the...

Decluttering Tips and Support Weekly Newsletter Vol. 52 Dear Reader, When my kids want to hold onto EVERYTHING that comes through the front door, I have to remember that it's normal to be attached to stuff. In fact, there are several cognitive biases that cause adults to hold on, so why should we expect our kids (whose brains don't fully develop until their mid-20's) to let go of their stuff willingly? On the Podcast This week on the podcast, I shared some helpful tips about how to help your...

Decluttering Tips and Support Weekly Newsletter Vol. 50 Dear 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: Slow clap from the moms (and dads)! On the Podcast One 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.
