The #1 Decluttering Tip - By a Professional Organizer

Ready for the ultimate, no-action-required tip to kickstart your decluttering success? Brace yourself- here it is: 

✨Follow your chaos✨

"Huh?" you might be thinking. Yes, you read it right. You don't need to do anything except start paying attention. Our goal? Reclaim that precious "you time" and lighten your load. Still confused? Let me break it down with a few examples:

🌪️Chaos: You’re constantly finding cups all over your house and your car (EWWW how old was that milk??)

✨Solution: If you have enough cups to not notice that cup was missing, it's time to pare down. I'm sure you won't say no to having less dishes to keep up with ;) 

🌪️Chaos: You’re getting your kids ready for school and you cannot for the life of you find the shoe your kid needs…

✨Solution: Less shoes = Less opportunities for them to get lost. If they have less, you’ll remember “They wore the pink tennis shoes yesterday, and took them off in the living room” and ta daaaa, your morning search is over before it even began.

🌪️Chaos:  Another morning rush and you’re looking for your FAVORITE pair of black leggings to wear. Frantic search through your dresser? Nope, not there. In the dryer? Nuh uh. Ugh, it could possibly be in that pile of laundry sitting on your couch, but no time to look right now. Defeated, you choose a different pair of black leggings (because god knows you have like 10 pairs)

✨Solution:  Your clothing situation needs your attention. If you have so many clothes that you lost tabs on your favorite pair of leggings, it’s time to let some go.

🌪️Chaos: “HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO ASK YOU TO PICK UP YOUR TOYS???” you scream into the void as you step on a block… (Whoops…Gentle parenting went out the window for a minute there) 

✨Solution: Time to do a major toy purge. Will toys still inevitably be strewn across your house at all times. Absolutely! But, a few scattered messes > your home looking like Melissa and Doug store.

I think you get the point. Look out for what's causing stress and eating up your time. Sounds simple, right? You've got this.

And, because I'm shamelessly plugging it, this simple tip is just a tiny taste of what I teach in the Simply Minimally You Course. If this nugget resonated with you, imagine the goldmine waiting in 78 lessons ;) No more chaos - just simple, straightforward decluttering. ❤️
