-TOP TIP TUESDAY-

💫LABELLING💫

🌟Love labelling and love my label maker, my best friend when organising a clients home or office space, one of the most loved and used products for Professional Organisers!

🌟So much choice out there from basic ones to very sephisticated wireless versions, the choice is yours.
I bet once you get one you’ll want to label the whole house 🤣such a game changer.
Everything will have a ‘labelled’ home no more excuses not to return an item where it belongs.
A few other options:
🌟Picture labelling: particularly useful for children and those those who favour images as better triggers of memory.
🌟Great for ADHD clients too.
For a quick and simple labelling option take a picture of the contents of your boxes and attach to the front or the side.
There is however a much more eco -friendly version version,
🌟TAG LABELLING- 🏷️using card labels such as the one in picture and your best handwriting😜.
Top-tip :They look great when attached to pillowcases which come with buttons, useful for neat bedding storage🙌.

Happy labelling!! 🏷️

MONDAY MOTIVATION💫

A place for everything and everything in its place…
🌟That ‘s exactly what a decluttered and organised home it’s like.

🌟It might be easier to achieve than you think. Give it a ho and you won’t look back!

The benefits?

🌟A happy me. There are of course other things that make me happy besides decluttering and organising my own house, but a decluttered and organised space certainly contributes to my happiness and well-being. I need things organised around me before I sit down and start working on my admins etc.
It means less distractions, a clearer mind, more focus on my task, no overwhelm, finding things immediately when I need them, not wasting my time and energy looking for things around the house.
My house does not stress me, quite the contrary I love being at home knowing that it does work for me and around me, and with such little time I have in my hands as a business owner, mum and wife that certainly helps😉

💫Does your home work for you? Is there anything you’d change? 💫
Would love to know in the comments⬇️😊

💫GARAGE DECLUTTERING
That was me last week. My lovely client did great..be warned .. It can get overwhelming!
🌟The garage had a mix of old DIY stuff, Christmas and Easter decorations, shoes and an extensive collection of mugs, yes seasonal mugs and collectible mugs which my client absolutely loves😊
The weather was in our side, everything was taken out of the garage and we went through everything and divided by categories:
Seasonal decorations
Shoes
China and ceramics( which the client had acquired through her travels around the world)
Summer outdoor accessories
So .. Part 1 -THE DECLUTTER part was done!💫
Next session we’ll be concentrating on organising items in the best way possible.
My Top TIPs:
🌟Declutter first THEN organise. Never the other way round as you’ll be going in circles! Garage/shed and lloft decluttering is possibly the most overwhelming… even for Professional Organisers, trust me!
I have yet to see a garage which is kept bare, but I am still hoping!
🌟Be as ruthless as possible, most of the stuff has probably been forgotten or placed there as an interim space. Assess usage and condition.. is it really worth keeping?
🌟Think shelves: ideal to place storage boxes and free up floor area. Cluttered floors will attract more clutter, so avoid using the floor as a dumping ground.
🌟Think storage: boxes with lids( we are going to use metal trunks) or anything which can stay firmly shut . It will prevent bugs, dust dump from damaging items.
🌟Think hooks: is there anything which could be hanged saving space?
🌟Think zones: zoning is essential i even more so in a garage! Think seasonal/outdoors/tools/ anything which resonates with your lifestyle really which is going to simplify getting a certain items.
🌟Think Labels: Either shelves or boxes( or both!) you will know where to go whenever you need something.
🌟Extra tip- after decluttering /organising show the newly organised space to ALL your family members so they know where things are and where to look for certain items.
🌟Even better if you make garage decluttering a family activity
…OR you can always ask them to ask your permission to get into the garage to keep it pristine🤣💫

💫MONDAY MOTIVATION💫

Sometimes things we keep in our homes can bring up painful reminders of grief and losses.
We often don’t realise the all encompassing burden stuff we’ve held onto is taking on us both emotionally and physically.

🌟It is so liberating once you see things through the lens of ‘ is this beneficial for me to keep now? ..even if at one point it really was!
🌟Think about the fact that you are trying to reverse old habits and heading in a new direction, with hope not fear.
I agree, it is not easy to critically and honestly go through everything around you and decide what you like and no longer like , what is useful and what no longer serves its purpose , but so worth it!
🌟Your choices will finally be a result of your hopes to achieve the life you’ve always wanted.. and that is always a wonderful and exciting start!
