HOME ORGANIZATION FOR STRESS FREE LIVING

picture, start small. Remember, Rome wasn’t built in a day either. Begin with the one thing about

your home that bothers you the most. Perhaps you want to begin by organizing a single cabinet or

bookshelf. You may also decide to make a list of regions in your home to tackle in order from most

to least important. After you’ve accomplished the first few items on your list, you’ll be motivated to

breeze right through the rest of the list.

Sentimental Sarah: “Aw, that’s the T-shirt my cousin gave me for my birthday 6 years ago.

So what if it’s full of holes, I couldn’t possible throw it out.” You have a story to go along

with every item in your home and the thought of throwing out a present is unthinkable to you.

While your friends and family no doubt love that you treasure all their gifts, sometimes you’ve

got to let go to preserve your sanity.

Perfectionists may love the thrill of color coding a

bookshelf – and the result is both visually pleas-
ing and functional (it’s so easy to know where
each book goes!)
