Declutter your routine.

Organizing is so much more than creating an orderly cabinet or beautiful closet. It’s about setting yourself up for success by setting up your space so that your day runs smoothly.  When I look at a client’s home, I’m focused on their daily routine and honing in on what matters to them.  Many of us want to be productive and creative, enjoy life and relationships, and health and wellness.

Consider what is standing in the way of you having:

·      a serene bedroom to welcome you to the day  

·      a bathroom and closet that is streamlined for your morning routine

·      a kitchen and pantry that are outfitted for making healthy choices

·      an office where you can think clearly and work efficiently

·      a functional entryway, mudroom, or garage to help get you out the door on a positive note.

Oftentimes it’s clutter in these spaces that clutters up your routine.  Organizing can create space and time for what you want to accomplish. So, consider your goals when setting up your space.

In 2018, I wanted to consistently attend cross training classes at a local gym. I figured out what needed to happen from the time I woke up until I went to the gym; staging my bathroom vanity, displaying my workout clothes front and center in the closet, prepping my smoothie ingredients on Sunday, setting an alarm so I don’t forget to put my shoes on when it’s time to head out the door (it saves me when I’m laser focused on a project!). I have been making it to my workout four days a week, most weeks, for seven years. It didn’t happen accidently.

What about you? Could intentional organization help you achieve a goal?

Let’s talk about “stuff.”

Hi friends.  Now that Holly’s in the House Organizing is up and running full speed, I have so much to share about all things home.  I’m passionate about helping you make the most of your home.  I want you to have room to breathe and time to do what matters to you, without stuff getting in the way.  So, let’s talk about “stuff.”

As we’re busy living, we accumulate stuff.  Some of it is useful and enjoyable (the coffee maker, a favorite outfit), but when stuff is no longer useful (a kitchen gadget that we don’t use or clothes that don’t fit), it becomes a pile of decisions to make—do we hang on to it because we might need it someday or out of obligation, or do we find a new home for it (and how)?

When you’re surrounded by lots of decisions to make, it can weigh you down.  This is why when I complete a job, my clients often say, “I feel so much lighter!”  Once the clutter has been cleared, they are left with what they use and enjoy.

What is getting in the way of your home being beautiful and functional?  Is it a backlog of mail and schoolwork, overflowing kitchen cabinets, or items given to you by a family member? It’s important to be realistic about how much room you have and what you are really using in your current lifestyle.  Create a home that works for your life now, so you can live in the present.

If you’re ready to deal with your stuff, I can help. I’d love to help declutter and organize your home, so that you can feel lighter. I specialize in helping busy families and those who are downsizing in Roswell, GA, and the surrounding communities.
