Hi Friend!!!

Thank you so much for still hanging out with me despite how it has been since I brought you a new episode.

This episode is special, coming straight from the heart, especially because it's my birthday today!

Listen in as I talk with you about why it's so vital to determine your "why". Maybe you've heard of this before and thought about how corny it is but hear me out because it may change the way you approach decluttering.

Today's special guest is Professional Organizer Holly Perez, owner of H.A.P. Organizing Solutions. Join us as we talk about how getting organized is a form of self-care. Holly also shares actionable tips and her own journey with getting organized. 

The term "self-care" has been a marketing buzzword lately, and it evokes mixed feelings for many, including myself. An article I found on Yahoo states that the term "self-care" has "become so big and amorphous that it can be difficult to suss out what it really is at its core and why it matters." While we didn't take the time to dig into the history of self-care and how it became so popular, we considered getting organized as a way for us to take better care of ourselves.

If you're like me, I feel at peace when I know that my environment is in order. I feel like I can breathe easier when I know I can find things quickly and easily. But if these feelings continue to elude you as they did me for many years,  know that there is always hope and help. And the bonus? You get to take care of your overall well-being by getting organized.

Are you ready to go from chaos to calm? Pop on those earbuds, friend, and join the conversation.

I offer group workshops and one-on-one sessions to help solve the problem for good. My goal is to assist you in being happy and productive, while reducing the stress and overwhelm so that you can focus on what matters most.

Avalanche. Tsunami. Mountains. Oceans. Would these words accurately describe the amount of paper that we process throughout our lifetime?

Let me share a statistic used by the book I am about to introduce to you: "The average American household processes a paper stack as high as a two-story house every year." Imagine that! So maybe it's not outlandish to describe our paper as an avalanche, tsunami, etc.

Even with massive technological advances and a push for a paperless (or at least less paper) society, paper is here to stay, and it only continues to overwhelm us and our homes.

What's the solution? I am glad you asked. Listen in as I talk with you more about paper organization and THE book that could solve our paper problems, written by Lisa Woodruff called Paper Solution: What To Shred, What To Save, and How To Stop It from Taking Over Your Life.

Also, check out Episode 68 where I talked with my friend Emily Lowry about how to get your paper organized. She is certified to teach Lisa's Sunday Basket system (mentioned in the book).

Do you find yourself distracted even after you've scheduled a time to declutter a particular area in your home? Something that you deem more important comes up. You receive a phone call or text message that "needs" your attention. Someone needs something from you. Mind you, this happens within the short 15 minutes that you try to declutter, even just a bedside table.

My friend, you are definitely not alone on this.

No one is immune to distractions (not even a professional organizer), especially in this day and age where everything and everyone are vying for our attention. 

Take a listen to this episode as we explore an important question we need to ask ourselves when distractions come DURING our decluttering time.

Click HERE to read the blog post I referred to about defeating distraction written by Erin Pavlicek. As I mentioned, it's spiritual in nature. Don't feel like you have to share the beliefs of the writer (or mine) for the content to be useful for you. 

Just imagine looking inside your closet, smiling, and loving everything you had in it. Getting dressed for work or for an event is a breeze because you can find what you need and you no longer run late. Sounds amazing, right?

Unfortunately, this is not (yet) the case for many of us. According to a survey from OnePoll, 47% of women struggle with deciding on which work outfit they should wear. The struggle is real! 

Help is on the way, my friend. My guest, Holly Moran, a Professional Organizer, will help us get started on the right foot and guide us toward a closet space we can feel good about.

Schedule your 15-minute assessment with me HERE so we can chat about how we can work together virtually to complete that organizing project that you've been wanting to complete.

Do you ever feel like quitting because it seems like a never-ending feat to continue decluttering and getting organized? If so, this episode is for you!

If your new year resolution or goal was to get more organized...last year in 2022...and you're still not seeing progress, listen up before you put your hands up in surrender. Quitting is not an option around here but sometimes it's okay to pause or dial down. I'm here for you either way.
