Let me guess what your top three most-dreaded spots are in the decluttering process: First, getting started; second, putting everything away (because no purging project ever skips that “it gets worse before it gets better” stage); and third, keeping up with your newly decluttered kitchen (or closet or counters).

Let’s talk about that third one for today – because you deserve a put-together, kept-up house that ISN’T just as much hassle to maintain as the original purging process was to go through!

(Can I get an amen to that?)

What you’ll learn:

·        The whole point of organization is so that everyone knows where to find the tape.

·        To really want to up your tidiness standards, train your kids to put things away.

·        always keep a lookout for stuff you’re not using anymore, that you’re moving out of the way, or that you just feel “eh” about.

Don’t live life on autopilot, pushing outgrown, un-useful things out of the way (but never actually pruning them out).

Which area in your home could use the most work?

Is it finding a home for each item you need, teaching your kids to put back whatever they get out, or ditching former favorites to make room for current all-stars?

Put some time on your calendar today for your top work-in-progress spot, so that you’ll get to live in that “always maintained” kind of home.

You deserve it.

You’ve got this!
