Today's episode is all about you guys! I've gathered several questions from listeners and some of the answers may just surprise you!

This is a two part series.

In today's episode we break down the HOW by discussing the roll you play (USER) & the roll your room plays (SUPPORTER).

Why function is your friend & how bad design is like a weight you carry around, keeping you from fully fulfilling your passions and thriving in life!

3 Key ways to determine how well your environments (rooms/spaces) are working for you:

1-Intent: List out the primary uses or functions of your room. 

(You can have more than one, but there should be a dominant use)

2-Inspiration: List out the dream room elements you'd love to have in your room. 

(search Pinterest, magazines, any resources and collect ideas-pause and reflect on how these make you feel.)                                                                                      

Takeaway: Now you know what you want from your room, as well as what's working for you and what's not.

3-Function: List out what you NEED from your room.                                                                                                     

(Problems it needs to solve such as storage to address clutter, etc)                                                                                      

Takeaway: Remove the things that aren't working, emphasize the things that are & add the things you recognize are missing.
