I’m too busy to think about it…I can’t stop myself… . . There is a close connection between how we respond to cravings or anxieties about our homes and our bodies. The good news is, shifting your habits from one will directly affect the other. The key is being mindful in the present moment.

Calling all take-out lovers! How much money can you save if you start making food at home?

If eating out of a plastic container isn’t in your vision of an ideal lifestyle, tidying can help! . . Know anyone who can benefit from this tip? Tag them and you can both plan to invite each other over for a home cooked meal! . . . . . . . #konmari #clutterfreeliving #organizingtricks #organizingideas #whatsfordinner #simplifyyourlife #takeouts #organizedkitchen #busywomen #busypeople #eatwellbewell #makelifeeasier #openshelving #declutteringmylife #eatinghealthier #savemoneylivebetter #youcancook #nomoretakeout #intuitivecooking #dinnertime🍴😋 #whattocook #kitchenorganization #eathappy #organizingmylife #eatingin #eatwellfeelwell #eatwellforless #eatwelleveryday #tidyingup #eatathome
This is not Instagrammable. . It doesn’t have anything from the Container Store. No decanting. No pretty labels. And it’s wonderful🥰! . The joy comes from being able to see and reach everything.The “dividers” used to separate the sauces and spices are parts of a broken drawer organizer, but they got the job done. . Of course if using certain containers spark joy, then get the ones that will be good homes for your stuff. Make it work for YOU! . 👉🏻SAVE THIS POST for reference when you’ve done the joy checking and ready to store your items using the following steps: . 1. Keep like with like 2. Store items vertically 3. Line up from tallest to shortest 4. Create boundaries . 📷 DM me your Before and After to be featured in my story! . . . . #drawerorganization #pantryorganization #organizingtips #beresourceful #tidyingup #tidytips #clutterfreeliving #cleartheclutter #stayorganized #declutterchallenge #organizingideas #neatandtidy #reallifesolutions #practicalsolutions #decluttertips #declutterideas #beforeandafter #tryingtoorganize #homeorganizing #organizedmom #organizedkitchen #getorganized #stayorganized #organizinghacks #busymomlife #busymums #busywomen #bakersgonnabake #homechefs #lovetocooklovetoeat #cookingislife
Have you been putting off tidying your paper? . . I’ve got to be honest, it’s my least favorite KonMari category to work on. Bills, statements, records don’t spark a whole lot of joy, but it’s a necessary task to make sense of it all. The process is tedious and boring. It may also trigger you pain points and fears. So how can we find joy when decluttering paper? . . I suggest you start with taking a few deep breaths and say to yourself “I can do this!” You need to believe that the discomfort you experience during this process is worth the relief, because it is! You will pick up one piece of paper at a time, decipher the contents and start to sort them by Permanent (birth certificate, passport), Temporary (Insurance policies, warranties), and papers that need your attention (bills, forms). Use folders and sticky note pads to help you subdivide by whatever company, account, or person’s name to create a file that will help you find the information the easiest. . . Every time I’ve worked with my clients, after a short time they always say “This is going faster than I expected.” There’s always a moment when they get in a groove and I have to hurry to catch up. And it can happen to you too! . . The result is so satisfying and most importantly you’ll experience the joy and confidence for conquered your fear. . So have you been putting off your paper clutter? You can do it!! Tag someone who can hold you accountable to help motivate you to get started. . . #paperclutter #konmari #thelifechangingmagicoftidyingup #tidyup #workspacegoals #filingcabinet #filingsystem #overcomeyourfears #procrastinator #beproductive #productivitytips #dontbeafraid #paperwork #cluttered #conqueryourfears #mykonmari #konmaritips #organizingtips #organizingideas #sparkjoy #accountabilitypartner #clutterfreeliving #overcomefear #tedious #cleanhomeclearmind #clearyourmind #orderandchaos #tryingtoorganize #youcandothis

Decant or not decant, that is the question. . . Generally, I like to make the healthier food options more visible and accessible. So not only they become more inviting, the organization promotes better care for my body as well. . . This is especially helpful for kids snacks because they are more visuals. Sugar-free dried or dehydrated fruits and crispy chickpeas are some of my boys’ favorites. And I like adding nuts to my smoothie or sprinkle them on salads. . Do you decant? And what type of food? . . . #organizedpantry #pantryorganization #healthyeatingtips #declutterlikeamother #plantbasedkids #healthysnacksforkids #tidyup #konmariconsultant #healthypantry #simplifyyourlife #apartmentliving #kitchenorganization #pantryideas #ikeausa #nycorganizer #momswhosweat #stayathomedads #stayathomemomlife #healthyeatingideas #selfcareideas #organizing101 #organizingtips #organizingideas💡 #simplifying #simplifymotherhood #healthysnacking
