Declutter From Scratch

Monday, July 18th, 2011

I am a big fan of Mini’s book Declutter Fast and her great emails. If you have not heard of her before please check her out. You will be glad you  did. Make sure you sign up fro her email. She gives such great information in her emails. I love to receive them. I am sharing with you one of her strategies that really works for me. I live where this time of the year we are cooped up inside, because  it is sooooooooooooo hot.  So this is when I deep clean my house and do home repairs. I follow Mini’s,  Declutter from Scratch plan, one room at a time. There are days when I can’t use my garage but it is total worth it. This may seem like a lot of work but I think that is why it works for me. When the room is empty I clean it thoroughly, I do all repairs that are needed. When it is time to put things back I only want to move back in the things I really want.

Declutter From Scratch from Mini Tanner

A great way to declutter is to take each room – or an entire home – and start from scratch.

This is a way that works for me, that I have put into practice numerous times. It’s one of my favorite ways to declutter. (more…)

Let’s Begin 2011 on the Right Foot

Mom-Stuff.com Featured Resources to help you start 2011 on the right foot.

Tips to Help Your New Year’s Resolutions Stick
Setting New Year’s resolutions may be a time-honored tradition but unfortunately making last-minute vows during a champagne toast isn’t an effective approach. How can you ensure that you’ll stick with your goals beyond January 15th? You’ve got to make sure that your goals possess a “STICKINESS” factor. . . .

Setting Goals and Shaping your Future
Each year on the first of January, I take the time to reflect upon my goals from the previous year. I like to evaluate what I have accomplished, and review everything that has manifested throughout the year. It always makes me smile, how things have unfolded for the goals which had a strong enough WHY even if I did not really know at the time how I would get them accomplished…amazing how that works! . . .
