Do you want to get your space organized so you can feel better? Guess what- it all starts with our mindset. Even cleaning up our space! On today's episode I'm sharing what you can do to declutter your mind and your space.

This episode is a special one! Last month we had a Wife Teacher Mommy Club coaching call all about how to declutter your mind and your space. With the new school year slowly approaching, I figured it would be the perfect to air this inspiring coaching call on our podcast today.

Most people think of organization as keeping things together or putting items in a bin, but it’s so much more than that and we dive into it on today's episode. We talk about why organization has to start in your mind and actionable tips on how to declutter your mind.

We talk all about the importance of figuring out WHY you are decluttering. As humans we have attachment to things based on the past, so we hold on to them. It's important to ask whether they are truly essential. Analyzing our thoughts and identifying the reason we hold on to "unnecessary" items is an important aspect of decluttering our minds.

One of the tips we dive into why it is important to create habits and mindsets for a more organized space. Try incorporating a 15-minute pickup at the beginning and end of each day to build the habit of tidying up. Another tip is to get your kids involved in the clean up as well.

Everyone wants to achieve work-life balance, and having the right organizational skills will help you with achieving that goal. It doesn’t matter if you’re a mom, homeschool parent or veteran teacher, there’s an organization tip that will resonate with you.

Listen to this episode for tips, tricks, and hacks that will ultimately make your life AND classroom run smoothly and your life simpler!
