So many ask me for an example of a great organization of a space where things are out for easy access and view- here you go!

Oh this does my heart good- Great job to this organizer! Can you imagine the sense of relief and freedom the client feels in her space now? It can be the same for you.

Just a reminder to take the time to put things home. What is home? That very intentional and logical spot for YOU. Whether that is put inside a cabinet, drawer or closet, or arranged out on an open shelf, counter or display is based on your organization style. Just because Mom always needed everything behind closed doors/ drawers doesn't mean that will work for you.

Does anger or regret ever keep you from letting things go that you feel you wasted time, effort or money on?

Whenever I or a client starts to be angry or sorrowful about 'wasting' time, money, etc on items - I ask them to take a step backward and consider the bigger picture. Sometimes we don't know what the future holds or what plans God has for our lives or frankly - those things. When she decided to sell, and inventory started to build up- she stopped, and I am sure there was a lot of regrets but today she is in a different position. Those items are no longer contributing to her livelihood, and can be treated as items to bless others. Take a moment to imagine the surprise and relief these clothes will bring to someone at a battered womens shelter? Not hand-me-downs but new clothes that make them feel more settled and themselves as they navigate trying to build a new life. Maybe the plan always was that you would have that abundance just when someone else needed a hand up. How great our God is that things that brought anger, defeat, and confusion now become so clearly a blessing. Recognize that overabundance ALWAYS is a blessing in disguise if you just look beyond your history with the items, and see the future/joy it can bring to someone else.

Ever wake up an hour before your alarm, and decide to race the alarm to get your room or closet organized/straightened? It makes me laugh how little games like that can get me focused and productive.

And I share this to remind you that everyone responds to different stimulus. Some folks work well with a set cleaning schedule, others have a daily reset that keeps things tidy, and others get motivated if everyone in the family or roommates clean together (it is called mirroring). And others, especially folks on spectrum need a bit of a game, a challenge or competition to get them moving.

So don't beat yourself up- experiment and find out what works, and if you still feel overwhelmed- call me amd we will work together on a solution.

You are never too far gone to make a change. I want for you the feeling I have right now- the "Ahhh, Clean room- Everything in its place!"
