Your family just left the house and you have an entire 3 hours to yourself at home on a Saturday afternoon. Ahhhh the things you can accomplish! You can rest! You can cross some things off that never ending to-do list! You can maybe even nap!! You have been looking forward to this window ever since the last time it happened 6 months ago.

4 Things I’m Saying NO to for the Rest of 2024
In my last post, I talked about things that I’m saying YES to for the rest of 2024. When you are busy and frazzled, NO can be the easy answer, especially if you have kids.

4 Things I’m saying YES to for the Rest of 2024
I recently listened to some very old episodes of a podcast highlighting the host’s YES list and NO list and I thought it would be fun to do my own spin on it.

I know. It’s probably not the highlight of the season for most people. Not even on the top 3 list of what you are looking forward to - but also, it is what we make of it, right? Right. Spring cleaning can suck or it can be a way to refresh (reinvent?) your home for the new season. I choose to embrace it and if you do too, read on for some tips on how to make it more fun and productive!

Multi-tasking vs. Single-tasking
It turns out that this whole time we’ve been multi-tasking through our lives, we’ve instead been diminishing our productivity and effectiveness in these very tasks.

The Paper Situation
Deep in the “fun” of tax season, and despite being in the digital age, the flow of paper coming into our homes is at a high-point. If not tended to immediately, it can get out of control and add to the visual clutter that is already stressing us out in our homes.

Maintaining a decluttered home
We have to be diligent about controlling this influx in order to preserve all that hard work & time you have been investing in your home.

1o ways you can declutter your digital life
For most people when we think of clutter, we think of visual clutter - what you see piling up in your home and office. Digital clutter can be just as important to address as we delve deeper into the digital age.

ADHD is Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder. Symptoms might include: a hard time keeping track of things (keys for example), not being able to focus on jobs, activities, conversations, and tasks for extended periods of time, talking too much, not being able to settle down/sit still, fidgeting, difficulty waiting, and more. As you can imagine, these symptoms often result in a disorganized mind which can lead to a disorganized home.

Little steps = big changes. A thought about resolutions.
The hardest part is starting, so pick a day and make a plan and do it. That one little thing that will lead to the next little thing that will end up being a really BIG thing.
