Organizing for Beautiful Living: Home Organizing Tips, Sustainable Organizing Tips, Decluttering Tips, and Time Management Tips for Working Moms and Entrepreneurs – Détails, épisodes et analyse

Do you ever feel like other people are just naturally organized, but for you, the thought of getting your home organized is so overwhelming?

After a grocery store conversation, I realized that so many people are intimidated by "organizing". But I know that often, these folks are getting stuck in one (or more) of the 5 steps of my organizing method.

In this episode, I'll share which steps are most common to get stuck in, and how to break down organizing so that it doesn't feel so hard anymore.

I also invite you to join The Organized Home Advantage private group if you enjoy having little conversations about topics like this. You can share your thoughts and challenges with other working moms in a safe, non-judgmental space. Hope to see you in there!

This mini-episode will introduce you to my "secret weapon" cleaning tool that helps me daily, even when I don't feel like cleaning (which, let's face it, is every single day!).

It's not such a secret, actually. It's the hand vac! You can hear how I use it and where I keep it, and why it's been such a game-changer for me in keeping cleaning time to a minimum. That's our goal, of course!

Also, remember to join The Organized Home Advantage, my private facebook group, where you can have conversations like these with other moms like you!
