Clutter Busting: Craft and Hobby Supplies

by Leave a Comment

Through my clutter busting journey this summer, I have taken several side trips. Being able to declutter for me has been about making decisions in the moment. Decisions about where I am inspired to work and let go of things. Working in the moment.

Recently that moment happened in my craft closet/space.By focusing on just craft supplies related to card making, I completed two card kits in a two-day marathon (not suggesting that and not sure that was a good decision) and let go of supplies that became a donation basket for a silent auction for a cause that I support.

As you are decluttering your craft or hobby area here are some suggestions: [Read more…] about Clutter Busting: Craft and Hobby Supplies

Clutter Busting: Decluttering versus Cleaning and Organizing

by Leave a Comment

Decluttering and cleaning are not the same thing.

Organizing and decluttering are also not the same thing.

Cleaning is easier and faster when you’ve eliminated clutter.

Trying to declutter and organize at the same time can be stressful because you must stop and problem-solve storage, usage or systems for your items. Decluttering is just getting rid of the stuff you no longer use or love or don’t have the space for.

My recent basement project has again reinforced the concept that decluttering, cleaning and organizing are different things. And that realization has lifted a weight off me. I can declutter without a specific plan other than making sure the decluttered items leave my house immediately or very soon after the decluttering session.

And even more good news is that by ‘just’ decluttering, the space feels more organized because there is less stuff.

What would happen if you only just decluttered a space?

I have been doing a lot of checking in this year. I have been checking in monthly on how my word intention of connectivity for 2018 is going. And I have been sharing my lessons learned in hopes that you are inspired.

I am also now checking in on my basement project.

Many times, when it comes to clutter people give up even before they start because they are overwhelmed or because they have made attempts to declutter in the past and those have not stuck.

I didn’t become a coach or one that focuses on clutter because I am the most organized person or have the cleanest house, I decided on being a clutter coach because I want to share the lessons I learn through this life journey of mine that includes clutter. So here I am making the choice to tackle my basement clutter (again) and continue to learn and share those lessons with everyone.

I am grateful that I choose not to give up and that I can continue to grow. And hopefully inspire you to do the same.

I would be honored to help you by being your coach. If you are interested in learning more contact me.

Clutter Busting: The Basement Journey (Again)

I have shared my basement journey in the past. In fact, it was seven years ago that I shared my basement project. And like some goals the basement became again destination and not a journey.

I am not proud of that. What I am proud of is that I use the knowledge I gain as I work at becoming unstuck or clearing clutter and, hopefully, become a better life coach because of it.

Maybe your journey is about something else…maintaining a healthy weight, consistently exercising, keeping your “hot spot” clear, processing paper so it doesn’t pile up. Whatever that journey is, join me over the next couple of weeks. And let’s inspire each other.
