As your friendly home organizer, I’m excited to help you and your family rediscover the joy in your space. Lately, I’ve been exploring what I believe are the top five essential systems every organized home should have to keep things running smoothly. (Check out the blog post here).
This week’s email focuses on how to establish a Decluttering System.
Let’s dive in together!
✨Why a Decluttering System is a Game-Changer✨
You might be wondering, "What the heck is a Decluttering System" and “Why do I need it?” Well, here’s the scoop:
More Space to Breathe: When you declutter, you free up space—not just physically, but mentally too! 🌬️ Imagine walking into a room where everything has its place. You’ll feel lighter and more relaxed.
Goodbye Stress: Clutter can feel like a weight on your shoulders. A tidy home brings peace of mind and helps you focus on what truly matters. 🧘♀️ You deserve a calm and cozy space to unwind after a long day!
Boost Your Productivity: An organized home means you can find what you need when you need it! 🔍 No more frantic searches for that missing shoe or your favorite book. This efficiency gives you more time to enjoy life with your loved ones.
Easy Peasy Maintenance: With a decluttering system in place, keeping your home organized becomes a breeze. 🍃 You’ll spend less time cleaning and more time making memories with your family. Plus, it’s a great way to teach kids about the importance of organization!
Feel Good Vibes: Letting go of things that no longer serve you can be so freeing! ✨ A decluttered home allows for new experiences and creates a positive atmosphere. It’s all about making room for what truly matters! 🌈
Once you've decluttered a space, it’s essential to establish a system that maintains that organization. This way, you can continue to enjoy the benefits of your hard work and keep your environment feeling fresh and inviting. A solid plan will help prevent clutter from creeping back in, allowing you to fully appreciate the serene space you've created!
🧹 3 Easy Ways to Start Your Decluttering System🧹
Here are three simple methods to help you kickstart your ongoing decluttering system:
One-In, One-Out Rule: For every new item you bring home, let go of one. 🔄 This keeps things balanced and prevents clutter from creeping back in. It’s a great way to be intentional about what you keep—ask yourself, “Do I really need this?” before hitting that checkout button! 🛒
Daily Declutter 10: Set aside just 10 minutes each day to tackle a specific area. ⏰ Whether it’s a drawer, a shelf, or even the living room, those little bursts of decluttering add up! You can even make it a fun family challenge. Who can declutter the most in 10 minutes? Ready, set, go! 🏁
Monthly Challenge: Pick a category each month—like clothes, toys, or kitchen gadgets—and focus on that. 📅 This makes decluttering feel manageable and less overwhelming. You could even turn it into a game with your family: who can find the most items to donate? 🎁 It’s a win-win!
💖You’ve Got This! 💖
By using these simple methods, you’ll create a decluttering system that keeps your home organized and helps you love your space again.

Hi Reader, I hope this email finds you all in good spirits! As we are entering the last week of October, I wanted to share something personal that has been on my mind lately: unexpected health setbacks. Recently, I faced a little bump in the road that reminded me just how important it is to have a supportive home environment and family around us. When I had to take time to rest and focus on my recovery, I realized how much my organized home systems helped me. With everything in its place, I...
Hi Reader, I hope you’re doing well! In my neighborhood, we’re already seeing Halloween decorations popping up everywhere! 🎃 It’s such a fun time of year, but it also means the holiday season is just around the corner. I don’t know about you, but every time I pull out those spooky decorations, I find myself wandering into the attic or storage areas, thinking, “Wow, I really need to clean this place out!” Sound familiar? Let’s be honest—life gets busy, and it’s easy to let clutter pile up. But...
Hi Reader, I hope this email finds you all safe and well. In my beautiful state of North Carolina, this past week has been filled with news of devastation and destruction from Hurricane Helene. So many images of homes, nature, roads just that were gone in an instant. Having spent the majority of my life here (especially my college years at Appalachian State University in Boone) I’ve always cherished the mountains and the serenity they bring. Seeing these majestic places and the wonderful,...
