11 // Holding onto EVERYTHING Sentimental? 3 Decluttering Hacks you HAVE to Try
Sentimental items. They are the things we keep because they have meaning to us. They are imbued with memories. Or perhaps they don’t mean a lot to us, but they belonged to a family member and remind us of that person. Of course we should surround ourselves with things that have meaning to us, but when sentimental items become clutter because of how much we’re keeping (and where we’re keeping it- typically in dusty boxes), we need to really evaluate what we have any why. Today we chat about 3 mindset hacks that will help make decluttering sentimental items easier. If you need help with yours, make sure to join us in our free Facebook group! We are doing a 30-day decluttering challenge to help you declutter before the end of 2022. GIVEAWAY!

04 // THIS is Why You Don’t Have the Time to Declutter
Where do I start and when do I find the time? When I coach other moms, these are the same two questions I get time and time again. And I get it. When you’re overwhelmed, it’s hard to look at something as daunting as decluttering and think that something that requires so much energy and focus is something you can handle when you’re so inundated already. It’s one more thing to do on a never ending to-do list. And when it comes to time, it’s hard to even remember if you ate breakfast today, let alone whether you can squeeze in the time to declutter a junk drawer. Today I talk about why we feel so overwhelmed by the idea of decluttering, which causes us to avoid it altogether. Here is the recent Instagram post I mention about the three layers of stuff.
