Winnow & Spruce Organizing

06/17/2026

I kept the best pieces.
The pieces I love.
The pieces with the happy memories.
The pieces that feel like my life today.

Now I get to curate them in a new way.

An intentional corner.
A cozy area.
A place that everything I own belongs.

I love being here.
I love walking through my door.
I love that it is all intentional..

Not from loss.
Not from lack.

But all from joy.

Wonder what to do with all those business cards laying around in drawers, your purse, and your desktop?

Create a system!

Use the Haystack app to quickly scan them into the app, and/or download them into your phone. You can send your business card to them to connect as well.

Then decide where you want to connect with them in the virtual world: LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook etc. and go follow them there to build a relationship.

Finally, you may toss the card as now you have so many ways to share their information with your network.

Enter just 10 cards a day and you'll be on your way to an organized business card system.

Best Day/Worst Day (2017 flashback)

On my Best Day, I have the honor of organizing someone's space. Transforming chaos to calm is the result, but it's the process that I enjoy the most. Delving into how the person wants to use the space, resolving the pain points, being the catalyst to bring their vision to life, and helping them live out their values through what they keep and let go of. Often they cannot imagine how we'll get there, but rest assured, I have a plan and can usually estimate the time it will take. I am in it to win it for my clients. The upside of getting organized means, efficiency, more rest, ease, time for what's really important and makes life sing, and restored relationships. Stuff can really get in the way of loving people.

Worst Day
This was my garage, the domain of the x. Opening the door to this disaster filled me with anger. No matter how often it was cleaned and organized, it would revert back to this over time. When we divorced and the house was being sold, I could not fathom how it was to be divided up and categorized for the x to pick up. Asking for help felt like admitting defeat but also an act of the greatest courage.

At the end of it, I only remember the gratitude.

👇The One-Touch Rule If you pick something up, put it where it belongs instead of setting it down "for now."

🫴Never Leave a Room Empty-Handed When moving from one room to another, take something that belongs in the destination room.

⏳️Five-Minute Reset Before bed, spend five minutes resetting the main living space.

🏠A Home for Everything If something is always cluttering a surface, it probably doesn't have a designated home.

Which one is your favorite cheat code?

Come with me while I reset my apartment.
Start to finish it took an hour and included 2 loads of laundry.

What area of your life needs a reset?

This week I've been talking about something I've noticed over and over again:

The same people who feel overwhelmed by clutter often feel overwhelmed by their finances, too.

Not because they're lazy.
Not because they don't care.
Not because they lack willpower.

Usually it's because they don't have systems that support them.

When your home feels chaotic, everyday tasks take more time and energy.

When your money feels chaotic, everyday decisions carry more stress and uncertainty.

The good news? Both can be improved with simple, practical systems.

As a professional organizer and financial coach, I love helping people create more clarity in both areas. Not perfection. Not complicated spreadsheets. Not magazine-worthy homes.

Just realistic systems that help life feel more manageable.

If you've been feeling overwhelmed by clutter, money stress, or both, I'd love to help.

I'm opening a few spots for a Home + Money Reset, where we'll work together to create simple systems that bring more calm, confidence, and control to your daily life.

Usually, it's because they don't have systems that support them.
