Decluttering Tips and Support Weekly Newsletter Vol. 62β 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! π¦ 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. π§³ 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. βColor Guru is having a big sale coming up and I don't want you to miss out! Things I'm Loving Right Nowβ¨ 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! β¨ 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! β¨ 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 Weekly Newsletter Vol. 54 Dear Reader, Most of us grew up with this mantra about rest planted firmly in our heads:π I'll rest when I'm dead. π Or perhaps you see rest as a reward when EVERYTHING is done...except here's the thing - it's never all done. πSeeing rest as a right, rather than a reward, is REVOLUTIONARY.

On the Podcast This week on the podcast, I shared some helpful tips about how to help your...
