This week a new organizing show on Netflix premiered! Click here to watch the trailer for Get Organized With the Home Edit. I haven’t watched it yet, but am so excited to.

Who would have thought that this fall kids’ home offices would be essential? Be it a spot at the dining table or a room-turned-office, kids need spaces optimized for learning and focus every bit as much as their parents. Parents are still trying to figure out their own setups while doing the same for their kids. It’s tough, but families are adapting in creative ways.

As much as I love what Marie Kondo has done for American homes, even more I love that people are starting to explore what minimalism means beyond half-empty drawers and closets. Does it really end there?

I sometimes have to get very creative in the approach I take to motivate someone to clear off their desk. If you’ve brought piles into 2020 and need an extra push to finally zap them, this might be the incentive you need to clear them off (or to at least remove them just to put them back):

I really enjoy reading author/blogger Joshua Becker’s insightful Becoming Minimalist newsletters. He recently shared a post, A new planner won’t change your life. The first line stuck with me:

“One reason, I am convinced, we overspend and overbuy is because we expect too much from our purchases.”

If I had a dime for every beautiful blank notebook I’ve found in my clients’ homes and offices……just WOW. Some blank notebook hoarders genuinely struggle with compulsive shopping in many life areas, and others just compulsively collect in this one area.
