Welcome to this week's tips
Hi Everyone,
​
Tomorrow starts the first of two declutter groups I will hold this year. So if you are putting it off for the "right time" know there usually isn't a right time to make changes. It's always scary and we like to make excuses. And then we stay cluttered. If decluttering is on your goals list for this year and you want support, you can sign up here.

We have some beautiful snow fall. You can see it coming down in our backyard here. I also got to connect with friends I hadn't seen since before Christmas.

Weekly Simplicity Tips
  2. Get in the habit of making your bed every day.
  3. Don't take on too many changes at once
  4. Do one thing at a time at least some of the time. 
  5. Other's expectations of you have nothing to do with you. Feel free to let them go.
  6.  Keep receipts in an email folder (iphone users can use the app OneReceipt)
  7. Save emailed financial statements to PDF. 
What I wrote for you
A Question to help you make changes.

I don't want you to declutter. What do I mean by that?

Starts Jan. 18th.

Raise your hand if you have tried these before?

  • Cramming a year’s worth of decluttering into a day with nothing to show for it
  • Taking everything out of your closet, getting overwhelmed with the mess and then shoving it all back in a week later
  • Going through a pile then making even more piles with your sorting, which never seems to end
  • Reading a How to Declutter book, then getting sidetracked after a couple of days
  • Energetically tackling an area, then crashing with exhaustion before it was completed
  • Decluttering, with almost everything going into a maybe pile
  • Making a New Year’s resolution to finally declutter your house, only to find it December and the house looks the same as in January (or worse after a year of added clutter)

Sigh…

It’s OK, I did all of those myself. But, it is time to banish these ineffective methods forever.

Instead, let’s take the steps that really produce results.
