Setup a Donation Station

A donation station might not be adequate space for your declutter items from the Declutter Challenge, so don’t confuse this suggestion with setting up the bins in How To Declutter. The Donation Station I’m talking about today is one you keep setup permanently and is great for maintaining decluttering throughout the entire year. A Donation […]

Room Declutter Checklist (for Teens & Young Adults)

Teens and young adults have unique needs to help them declutter. My advice is to suggest their room may need a Deep Cleaning or a Decluttering, and then offer to help. Some teens may feel comfortable having you in their room helping, and some may really need that help, but they still may want some […]

A made bed gives us hope every day.

A few years ago, a video went viral about making your bed and it has stuck with me. I watch it every now and then because the message is so good. (Don’t worry, I’ve attached the video below, so you can watch it too!) If you want to change the world, start off by making […]

4 Routines to an Always-Clean Kitchen

My mom gave me a little magnet with an inspirational quote. She suggested I could put it on my fridge. My mom and I are very open with each other without being offended, so I reminded her “I don’t put anything on my fridge … and you don’t either.” šŸ˜‚ I put the magnet on my simple command […]

Weekly Planning Sheet (FREE Printable!)

When I was in the beginning process of creating my own planner, I would just design one week sheets like this and try out different versions. I’d stick the weekly planning sheet into a clipboard and I was ready to organize my week! I took the planner design and used it to create this planning […]

Don’t Play Catch-up

If you’ve been around here a while, you know that I’m a big believer in a cleaning routine. And because I try to play by the rules I teach, last night I scratched off “clean kitchen & fridge” from my to do list … even though I didn’t do that yesterday. One of the most […]

After Dinner Jobs

My kitchen is usually clean. Of course, we aren’t robots, so you’ll occasionally find a mess. Most of the time, though, the kitchen is pretty clean. That is no small miracle considering the abuse the kitchen takes every day from all of us that live here. The secret to being mostly clean are habits. The […]

Living Standards – Minimum Daily Habits {OBC}

If you are participating in the Organizing Boot Camp, daily Living Standards are crucial. Organization, at its core, is really all about habits. Our Living Standard is the accumulation of daily habits we’ve come to accept. If you usually skip bed-making, leave dirty dishes in the sink for a while, or pile things up instead […]

The Best Cleaning Routine

Ultimately, the best cleaning routine isn’t what I do or your best friend does, it is whatever will work for you. What days you do what task don’t matter as much as getting them done. And mostly, that is what I want to help you with – knowing how to get them done and avoiding […]

Super Tidy!

The Super Tidy! I’ve been mentioning the Super Tidy all over the place, but I’ve never formally introduced the powerful, clutter and mess fighting Super Tidy. The idea started a while ago when I started writing “tidy up for 10 minutes – put things away” on my daily planning sheet. I would write it at […]
