Want less?

Don’t make room for more if you want to have less. It’s tempting to buy more bins, baskets, and organizing gadgets, but more containers often lead to more clutter. If your goal is to simplify, start by reducing what you own rather than creating new places to store stuff.

The best organizing tool is less stuff.

Simplify the holidays

Simplify whenever possible.

5 Ways to simplify: 

  1. Reduce the number of people to whom you give gifts and the number of presents you give to an individual.
  2. Buy gifts that don’t require wrapping (especially for adults) for example: gifts of experience, donations to non-profits in the receiver’s name, gift cards, cash. 
  3. Send an E-card instead of paper greeting cards. 
  4. Support local bakeries instead of doing the baking yourself. 
  5. Use recyclable paper products for guests to reduce time spent on clean up.
