For many seniors, limited mobility can often lead to an accumulation of clutter, which only exacerbates tripping hazards.

While my sweet client was recovering from a recent fall, I worked with her family to make her space safer upon her return home.

Once clutter was cleared, we created systems to easily maintain a clear floor in the future. Any items that needed her approval were relocated to another room in an orderly way so we can chip away at those over time.

I’m focusing more on mindful consumption, so I’ve been borrowing audio books on the Libby App to keep gaining insight during my no spending challenge.

This audiobook was a suggested read and it definitely didn’t disappoint!

Gretchen Rubin has so many fantastic tips and thought-provoking concepts packed in a quick read/listen!

I literally yelled out in my car today when she mentioned “prime real estate” because I use that exact analogy with my clients all the time! I definitely suggest to have a notebook handy to write down tips and ideas if you’re listening to the audiobook!

* update in the captions *
I openly despise hanging clothes.
I motivate myself by putting my hanging clothes on top of the hamper so I have to tackle them before the folded items.
A glass of wine and a new episode of Traitors makes the whole task much more enjoyable.
Do you “trick yourself” into tasks you avoid?

Sometimes a bigger space can be a trap for clutter coming into and going out from your house.

Step 1: Declutter and Purge
*Donate or store outgrown coats and shoes, toss broken sunglasses, recycle old schoolwork.

Step 2: Act on Action Items
*Put the returns and donations in your car, put outgoing mail in the mailbox, etc. you can’t organize clutter. It has to be out of the way to organize the things you use.

Step 3: Make It Intuitive and Easy
*Especially with kids and neurodivergent brains, one-step systems work best. Think hooks over hangers.

We’ve all had a basement that looks like this before picture when the holidays end. Here are my top 3 tips when organizing seasonal decor:

Put items away the way you take them out…
* If you decorate one room at a time, keep items from each room together. If you decorate all mantels and tabletops at the same time, store those items together.

Separate seasons from the holiday….
*A season is longer than its biggest holiday. If you keep seasonal items out longer than the holiday, separate the items to make decorating and storing faster and easier.

Declutter as you put away…
* If an item you had out this season didn’t truly add to your holiday spirit, consider donating or selling it!

Your system doesn’t have to be aesthetic; it has to work! Let me tell you more about this client and how this organizations works well for him:

Brightly colored labels, in different colors for different things… because everything having the same small white label doesn’t draw his eyes.

Books grouped by topic, not by height OR in rainbow order… because that’s how he looks for them.

Files stored on the floor… because sometimes we need to put something in our way to remember it’s on our to-do list.

Not every before and after story is about the photo… it’s about how the organization system improved my client’s life. This client has wanted to reclaim this office space for a long time. He immediately started working on his cleared desk the moment I left and was thrilled with how the function of the space flows intuitively for HIM.

There are things from my past that I save to enjoy “visiting.” I know my kids hold zero attachment to these keepsakes, and I will make sure they know I wholeheartedly support them letting go of these items when I’m no longer able to appreciate them.

There’s a freedom in being able to release items from our family’s past.

I know it’s hard. Trust me, I do; but if I don’t know which family members are in an old photo, my children sure won’t. As I let the photos and mementos go, I make sure to be grateful for all the ways the people and items have come together in my family’s past to bring me where I am today.

I don’t want my children to be burdened with my memories, just like I’m sure my ancestors wouldn’t want me to be burdened with the same.

It’s ok to let go.

Complete bathroom reset to help my client prepare for a move. Not only will these changes make listing photos more appealing, but it will make packing so much easier!
If you’re considering a move, I’d love to help!
