In Honor of Get Organized Month: Simplify Your Space

In honor of get organized month

 

Each year getting organized is one of the top three resolutions for the new year. Organizing, decluttering and maintenance are important for doing your best at home and work. There are many ways to focus your organizing for maximum impact. This focus often comes from a change happening in your home.

 

Decluttering

Decluttering is always a good idea, whether a change is coming or not. Decluttering is a favorite topic everyone shares because letting go of stuff empowers you. Those feelings of being overwhelmed are lessened by decluttering, seeing clear counters and feeling the energy of less to take care of.

 

Family Transitions

Family living is changing with the economy and the need for support. More families are creating a community within their four walls.These transitions happen when a family member loses a job, a medical situation occurs, a divorce happens or two families blend into one. Your home can be transformed to hold more people and less stuff. You may need to accomplish this change quickly and there are strategies to do this.

 

Downsizing

With the aging population, decluttering could be downsizing to move to a new space. You may choose a smaller home or an independent living arrangement. Downsizing can be unsettling in having to let go of so much in order to accomplish this change.

Thriving at home with your family

Most especially, with everyone being time pressured, the goals of maintaining your home are critical. Hacks and shortcuts to keep your home tidy always include having less stuff. Knowing how to equalize all the incoming items and letting go can be easier with simple strategies.

 

Over the next month, Ellen’s Blog will focus on each of these types of decluttering goals to help you overcome the challenges you face.

    As I read your post, Ellen, it struck me how this time of year can be tumultuous with many changes happening. Change can be difficult, but it also can be exciting. It gives you a chance to rethink, let go of what no longer serves you, and reorganize your time and stuff to fit who you are now.

    Getting the support you need during this transition can make all the difference.

    You are so on target @Linda! So much change in a short time makes us uneasy and overwhelmed. I am glad to know that we are here to support others in these times.
