Decluttering Tips and Support Weekly Newsletter Vol. 62 Dear Reader, My neighbor is a realtor and has been referring me to clients who are looking to put their homes on the market soon... ...but they have too much stuff and likely don't want to pack it all. A move is an excellent motivator to declutter - but what if you don't have a move date in your future? On the PodcastIn Episode 189 I share two amazing decluttering hacks - the move-out method and the vacation/suitcase method - to help you declutter more effectively! 📦 The move-out method is exactly what it sounds like - approaching a space in your home as if you were moving. The main difference in this approach is that you ask yourself, "Would I pack this?" as you go through each item. 🧳 The vacation/suitcase method involves pretending that you're packing for vacation. It's great for adult and kids' clothing - I learned it from my dear friend Julia Ubbenga from Rich in What Matters. You can listen to Episode 189 or watch on YouTube to learn more about how these hacks work and to try them out yourself! Mother's Day Gift Idea!One of the best gifts I ever received was my color analysis from Color Guru. I do NOT like shopping and I love being able to go online or into a store and know exactly what colors look best on me. Color Guru is having a big sale coming up and I don't want you to miss out! Things I'm Loving Right Now✨ One of my favorite tools to stay organized and decluttered is prioritizing my to-do list. When I look at the tasks for the day, I narrow it down to the top 3 priorities. Meistertask helps me with this because I can see what's due for the day! ✨ My decluttering/organizing resource of the week is the color card by Color Guru - it makes decluttering my closet (and intentionally buying new clothing AND makeup) so much easier! Don't forget the sale! ✨ My favorite snack of the week is these incredibly simple banana bars with four ingredients - bananas, rolled oats, peanut butter, and chocolate chips. Yummy! 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, Recently my oldest son called out to me right before he was about to go to bed: "Mom! I need you! I think I decluttered too much!" My initial thought... He showed me an Amazon box full of trinkets he had decluttered from his "treasure box" - a shoe box that is the physical boundary for all the small knick-knacks he gets from school, birthday parties, etc. He had decluttered WITHOUT prompting! I was shocked. 😮 Now mind you, this has been several years...
Decluttering Tips and Support Dear Reader, My youngest son Sean just learned how to ride his bike. When he started, we ran beside him, holding onto one handlebar as well as the back of his neck to keep him steady, and helping him get started again with a gentle push. Eventually, he didn't need us to hold the handlebar. Then, he didn't need us to hold the back of his neck. Then, he was able to start on his own. I'll always remember when he said, "It's OK. You can let go." Little does he know...
Decluttering Tips and Support Dear Reader, While I'm known for my poetry writing skills, I've NEVER been known for my artistic or crafting abilities. I can draw a stick figure with the best of them, and can maneuver a hot glue gun if required, but that's the extent of my skills. My "special set" does NOT include crafting! So when someone in my Facebook community requested an episode about decluttering and organizing crafting and hobby rooms, I felt out of my element...but up to the challenge!...
