“Imagine yourself living in a space that only contains things that spark joy.” (Marie Condo)
Who hasn't experienced that feeling of life
being out of control? It's stressful and takes your focus away from the
important things you should be doing and achieving. The solution is to get
organized. Organizing
every room in your home can feel like an unattainable ambition
at times, but it can also be quite a therapeutic exercise. Putting everything
away exactly where it belongs with each individual item in a designated spot and
no clutter in sight puts many people at ease.
With the right strategy, your entire home can
be a functional place to live. Make sure to allow
yourself time to accomplish your goals. An organized home is a
huge undertaking. Don't put too much pressure on yourself to finish quickly.
Instead, enjoy the process.
Know you will have a beautifully organized home at the end of your journey. Here
