Organize by Erica

So this may be an unpopular opinion in the world of organizing...but I'm actually okay with junk drawers 🙈
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I mean, there's a reason we all have a junk drawer in our house 😜
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But just because it's a junk drawer, doesn't mean it can't be organized. You can still find a home for these random odds and ends.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
That's what I did here -- just a quick refresh so that you can actually SEE what's in this drawer.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Plus I recommend cleaning out your junk drawer every few months to get rid of old coupons, broken pens, etc.

I love tackling a good "hot mess!" And I'm so happy how the craft closet turned out for this family 🎨 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

You're never too young to learn how to organize 👶 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I remember my mom teaching me and my sister how to fold our clothes and put them away at a young age. I think we were like 8...Her lessons clearly stuck with me!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So many of us don't learn how to organize our things until we're adults (and even then it can be a struggle!). So I say teach 'em young! Give them systems that work for them now and in the future 🔑

New year, new closets! This is the perfect time to purge some of the things we've accumulated over the last year.

I know most of my clients dread this kind of project, but I promise that getting started is the hardest part. Give these tips a try and let me know how it goes!

✌️ Have a plan. Are you going to donate unwanted items? Give them to friends and family? Sell them on a second-hand site? Have bags or boxes for each of these.
✌️ If you haven't worn it in the last year, toss it or donate it (depending on its condition!)
✌️ Once it's in a bag or box, it stays there. There are no take-backs in purging!

Have you heard of the love languages? Because mine is definitely acts of service.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It brings me so much joy to help busy moms and young professionals find peace in their homes. I LOVE doing this work. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And I absolutely LOVE how this client's closet turned out. It's open and easy to navigate so she can always find what she's looking for 🤎 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Make 👏🏽 your 👏🏽 bed 👏🏽⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
That is my number one morning routine rule. Even if everything else is out of place, you have to make your bed before starting your day. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Comment a 🛏️ if you agree! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
