The first day of school is always exciting, even if a little nerve-inducing. There are new routines, new schedules, new stuff everywhere. But here’s the truth: if you set up the right systems now, the rest of the year flows so much smoother.
I’ve had a bit of a revelation when it comes to my clients, our society, and why people need so much support from professional organizers. It’s because WE ALL HAVE TOO MUCH STUFF, and it makes decluttering very challenging.
Moving into a new home is exciting; it’s a new space, new possibilities, a fresh start! But also, it can be stressful when boxes aren’t getting unpacked and nothing has a place yet! That’s exactly why folks hire professional unpacking services—and it’s what The Organizing Boss does best.
Living in a small home doesn’t mean you have to live with small dreams for your space. With a few smart space solutions, even the tiniest apartment or condo can feel functional, cozy, and maybe pretty awesome.
The secret to smart decluttering is asking clear, practical decluttering questions that help you identify what to keep and what to let go.
People accumulate “stuff.” It’s part of being human, and it’s definitely influenced by the consumer-based culture in which we live. So you may often ask yourself “What items should I actually throw away?” It’s easy to be uncertain or confused.
One of the questions I often hear from prospective clients is: “Are you going to make me throw everything away?!?!” It’s often said in jest, but there’s definitely an element of curiosity. I’ve got great news for you; it’s not true!
Clients often say, “I bet your home is perfectly organized and decluttered!” The truth is that it’s not, but I have systems in place to easily tidy. That answer sometimes surprises folks, so I’m shedding some light on this and other questions I hear frequently.
If you’re thinking “I hate resolutions!” or you simply want a different way of looking at goals or habits, here are some helpful resources.
