Your environment has a real effect on your mood, productivity, and well being.⁣

Last week in stories I shared we were starting a new home project (stair railings, yay!). There is a laundry list of things I'd like to do around here but limited time and funds - you know how it goes. ⁣
⁣
When it became clear our upstairs carpet very much needed replaced the railings were moved up on the list since doing them after would mess up any new carpet. It's gonna leave a few rather noticeable holes in the hardwoods on the main level due to some reconfiguration, but we've been down that road before (swipe ➡️ for a look at another "hole" left from a previous project). I don't even care though! I can look past it for the progress made and see the vision of our forever home coming together.⁣
⁣
Today on the blog I share more about home renovation in phases - the why and how - including a free worksheet for planning and budgeting home projects - link in bio!⁣

Do you prefer to save up for an entire project or chip away at it in phases?

Set hard limits.⁣
⁣
If you're struggling to contain the clutter it might be time to evaluate your stuff, your habits, and set hard limits. ⁣
⁣
A basket, shelf, closet, home - all hard limits. If it doesn't fit something has to go. When a cup is full of water you can't keep adding more, it just spills out. Everyone has a different idea of what a full cup is too. You might like it 3/4 filled while someone else is comfortable with half (rarely to the brim!). Use the same approach for your home. ⁣
⁣
Let's take the pantry as an example. If it's overstuffed and difficult to find what you're looking for consider your habits. How often do you shop, do you buy in bulk? What about the "stuff"? Do you have 20 different types of snack food? By designating specific storage within the space that you have you create a hard limit. When it's full don't buy anymore until you've used what you have. This reduces food waste and saves time searching. The right amount of full is unique to each person so it may take some experimenting to get it just right.⁣
⁣
What do you think, could setting hard limits change the way you see clutter?

Shutterfly memories hit my inbox today and 😭. Where did my squishy babies go?? They're now less squishy girls getting a dang hamster. Cheers to the memories and forgetting all those diaper changes.

I shared my not-so-secret aversion to visual clutter in stories today. Visual clutter is a real thing and can affect some more than others. Anyone else a sufferer 🙋‍♀️? Seeing things out of place or without a home causes me anxiety. (You might be asking yourself why I had 3 kids if this is such a problem for me 🤣) You guys, we can DO something about it!! Like today, I took a few minutes and installed this door rack to hold the hand soap, lotion, and drain stopper. Something so simple has such a big impact. Changing lives, one bin at a time...
