LIVE WORKSHOPS!  Join us for our Clutter Clinic Workshops, where we’ll tackle the mess and create simple systems that actually work for your life! Whether it’s your closet, kitchen, garage, digital files, or even that endless pile of paper, we’ve got you covered with practical, doable strategies that make organizing easy—and even a little fun!  

Thanks to our amazing sponsor, Kate Hufnagel, aka the Digital Wrangler, we’re starting the year with a focus on decluttering not just our homes, but our digital lives, too. You can check out her offerings here.

Hey friend! Can you feel it? The days are getting longer, the sun is shining a little brighter, and spring is right around the corner. And you know what that means—it’s the perfect time to get organized!I’m sharing three of my favorite decluttering hacks to make the process quick, easy, and maybe even a little fun:
✔️ The five-minute scan—for the stuff you already know needs to go.
✔️ The "would I buy it again?" test—because guilt is not a reason to keep things.
✔️ Setting limits—so your closet doesn’t turn into a black hole of “maybe I’ll wear this someday.”

Plus, I’ll walk you through how to maintain organization in small spaces (hello, tiny closets!) and why decluttering is always the first step to an organized home.And if you’re ready to take things to the next level, don’t miss my Clutter Clinic Workshop this April! We’ll go step-by-step through closet organization, and I’ll be there to answer all your burning questions.

Why You Should Listen
✔️ Your closet is overflowing, but you still “have nothing to wear.”
✔️ You need quick, simple decluttering tricks that actually work.
✔️ You’re ready for a fresh start this spring—minus the clutter.

Key Takeaways
✨ Declutter before you organize – Trust me, it makes a huge difference.
✨ Start with a five-minute scan – Quick wins keep the momentum going.
✨ Ask yourself: "Would I buy this again?" – If not, it’s time to say goodbye.
✨ Set limits – Your space should work for you, not overwhelm you.
✨ Small closets can be organized too – You just need the right system.

🎧 Tune in now and let’s get your closet spring-ready!P.S. Want hands-on help? Sign up for my Clutter Clinic Workshop in April, and let’s declutter together!
