?Each year getting organized is one of the top three resolutions for the new year. Organizing, decluttering, and maintenance are important for doing your best at home and work. There are many ways to focus your organizing for maximum impact. This focus often comes from a change happening in your home.
?
Decluttering
Decluttering is always a good idea, whether a change is coming or not. Decluttering is a favorite topic everyone shares because letting go of stuff empowers you. Those feelings of being overwhelmed are lessened by decluttering, seeing clear counters and feeling the energy of less to take care of.
?
Family Transitions
Family living is changing with the economy and the need for support. More families are creating a community within their four walls. These transitions happen when a family member loses a job, a medical situation occurs, a divorce happens or two families blend into one. Your home can be transformed to hold more people and less stuff. You may need to accomplish this change quickly and there are strategies to do this.
?
Downsizing
With the aging population, decluttering could be downsizing to move to a new space. You may choose a smaller home or an independent living arrangement. Downsizing can be unsettling in having to let go of so much in order to accomplish this change.
Thriving at home with your family
Most especially, with everyone being time-pressured, the goals of maintaining your home are critical. Hacks and shortcuts to keep your home tidy always include having less stuff. Knowing how to equalize all the incoming items and letting go can be easier with simple strategies.
?
Over the next month, Ellen’s Blog will focus on these types of decluttering goals to help you overcome your challenges.

2 个月Great insights, Ellen. This is going to be a great month of insights. Our lives definitely change throughout the seasons, years, and as our roles evolve. Decluttering can mean so many things. Physical, at home, at work, the commute or traveling from place to place, emotional, recovering from trauma or loss, downsizing, a hobby or job with lots of "props" - I have a family member who collects tractors - well over 70! This will be an interesting divesting. End of life is huge. But can happen at any time. Breaking up with a life companion. Decluttering can happen at so many milestones. Thank you, for leading the way.
