Am I the only one that feels occasional guilt when sleeping in?

So many things to do, decisions to make, yada yada yada. Buuut my bed is feeling soooo cozy right now!

Or maybe you NEVER care about sleeping in. Or you ALWAYS feel a little guilty... you do you!

Only you can be the judge if it's time to catchup on rest or if it's time get your heiny out of bed.

But just today, I am encouraging you to rest. Lay in bed a little longer & listen to the birds chirping. Feel how comfy your sheets & pillow are. And count your blessings, because we all have them!

(But if negative thoughts keep looping in your head, it's probably time to get out of bed and focus on something meaningful!)

1. Pre-tidy!

Take 15 minutes to tidy all rooms you're going to vacuum. Put things away (or at least consolidate items into a pile) so you can focus on vacuuming- while you're still in the mood to!

*If you're in your teenager's room, you may need to take all their clothes, wrappers, dead animals, etc and throw them onto the bed for THEM to deal with.

**Better yet, just have your teen clean their room & vacuum it themself!

2. Don't vacuum up small items

While it's tempting, sucking up things like coins, paper clips, wrappers (and even the accidental sock) can clog youir machine & prevent the needed suction to actually clean your floors!

Whether digital photos on multiple devices, or shoeboxes full of old prints, use this process to organize and actually ENJOY your treasured memories ❤

1. Gather all photos to one location for review & sorting. Not only will this make it easier to manage, but also far easier to back up.
2. Perform a "quick sort" to get an idea of overall inventory and general categories for later organizing.
2. Remove / Delete duplicates and poor shots.
3. Review categories and decide how you want to organize them-- chronologically, areas of life (family, travel, career, etc.)? Maybe certain photos will be kept for reference rather than sentimental value. These distinctions will help you come up with an organized structure that works best for you.
4. Decide how you want to store them-- photo albums, framed, scrap books, digital frame, file box, etc. Again, think about why/how you would want to access each category.
5. Follow through! This task can be daunting. Don't be afraid to move through this process over time and/or delegate action items that someone else can do more efficiently (like scanning in physical photos).

What are comfort items & where should we put them?

- rice packs / hot packs
- massagers
- fuzzy socks
- eye masks

Really, anything that provides you COMFORT 😘 Often times, we'll see these tucked into pretty obscure places. The problem is, will you remember to use them that way? Consider moving them to a central location you're already relaxing in instead!!

I know which side I'd rather be on!

I'd rather be on the side that:

Brings me peace.

Helps me focus.

Makes me calm.

Supports my creativity.

And these are the reasons I'm so passionate about helping our Home & Life Simplified group. Because I don't want you to feel overwhelmed or burdened by the clutter in your life. Simplicity is so, so important. So keep decluttering. Keep purging. Keep donating. Keep organizing! I truly want you to feel the peace, focus, calm, and creativity too! 🥰

Board game & puzzle boxes are kind of like bags of chips-- mostly air!! Our favorites also usually get pretty beaten up over time. Ditch the bulky, broken boxes & save space with zip bags! You can either use your handy labeler or simply reuse the title from the box itself.

Simply put- If it takes less than 2 minutes to do, JUST DO IT!
Don't write it down, think about it, or tell someone about it.
JUST DO IT!
And maybe even grab 60 minutes to dedicate to these little tasks. You could over 15 tasks done... a lot checked off your mental to-do list!
