Welcome

Welcome to this week's issue of Weekly Simplicity Tips. I've had a delightful week! Seeing a local production of the H.M.S. Pinafore that a friend was in. Great job Mary Ellen! Seeing my sister and niece who came into town this weekend. Happy Birthday, Debbie! And going to Windmill Island with Brea and Jeff. We've lived here for years and have never visited this tourist attraction.

Also we had quite a few people join the Declutter Group this week, after the first chat. So if you still want to join, join before 8pm Eastern tonight so you don't miss tonight's chat.

Here are the last in Moving Towards Simplicity Questions series. I believe one of the best ways to get to the core of what’s important to you and to travel the road towards simplicity is to ask the right questions. So I am starting a series called Moving Towards Simplicity. You can answer these questions in your journal, in the comments below or at the MySimplerLife Facebook page.

Question #7: What Do You Need to Be Your Best?

Declutter Group - Missed the last chat? It's ok, get in now

You want a simple plan, that will integrate into your busy life and will solve your clutter problem.

So I have created the: 6-Week "Get a Handle on Your Clutter" Group. I love simplicity as most of you know, so I didn’t want this to be a complicated, time waster.

Instead I have laid out the plan step-by-step in an easy to use workbook.

With weekly chats in my chat room and message boards for daily challenges with one another you will get the support and encouragement you need to keep on going. You are definitely not the only one struggling with your home.

  4. When you get ready in the morning, take out what you need and put on right side of the bathroom counter. Move items to the left. Then put them all away at once, should take less than 30 seconds.
  5. If you have lost services/value with something you have i.e. phone or cable, contact them to see if you can get a discount.
  6. Keep up with your current duties and maintenance, before tackling the backlog.
  7. If you can't keep up with your current duties and maintenance, it's time to let something go.

About

I help the overwhelmed create saner, simpler lives. I deliver...

Untamed possibility. Breathe easier simplicity. Hope.
On the wings of understanding and encouragement.
Step by step breaking down from “no way! “ to “why not?”

I’ve helped people declutter & organize, lose weight, learn to manage time, gain self-confidence, learn to focus, practice self care and simplify their lives so they can do what’s most important to them and their family. I love giving hope to people that come to me thinking it can’t be done. I was not born organized, I’ve had to learn the skills. Things like overcoming perfectionism and procrastination. And knowing what is for dinner before 5pm.
