I usually have several handbags that always have something in them. Let it be hand cream, lip balm, lipsticks, tissues or tampons. Now I've tackled this and emptied all the pockets of all the bags and I put the things I always need in a small bag and I can now take this with me in any bag I want. Everything is tidy and in order and I feel so good about it. Thanks for the tip

Yay! I love to have a single pouch I can transfer between bags too. x

I’m tackling the table in the entryway. I have a bowl on it for keys that is overflowing with things that don’t belong there. Second I’m tackling my bed side table. Too many things on it. The serene photo of a bedside table in this post has inspired me to simplify mine.

Got back from a long vacation and need to tackle that mail/paper pile by the entryway to get ready to start 2024 with a literal "inbox zero"!

I am tackling my bedside table.

So. Many. Books. I’m only reading one of them! I will look forward to beginning and ending my day with a clean, calm surface. Thanks Shira!

I love just seeing the one book I'm reading - otherwise...overwhelm! Good luck. x

I’m tackling the fridge today! As a working mom who homeschools four boys, food needs to be an easy win. Tidy will increase their ability to be competent in the kitchen and simple will increase my calm.

I practice trying to break enormous projects into 15 minute tasks - the more you do it the easier it gets. After I culled and organized my closets I found it easier to give things a home - like the clothes that could be worn another time now have a place other than the bedroom chair.

The sneaky bits of trash strewn about by my dear family members and the papers that always seem to migrate to the counters

My bedroom is a cluttered mess atm.

I will wipe tables & shelves, unpack boxes, and attempt to clear my bed to make it up, finding proper, categorically sound places for items.

I want to create a more serene, minimalistic environment.

Since I’m doing some Christmas baking and cooking this holiday season, time to clean out the pantry! And baking cabinet! 🙌. I can do this after I’m done with the dishes and while the goodies are in the oven! 🙋🏻‍♀️😉

Nightstand, tote bag, kitchen counter and desk : job done in less than an hour, easy :-)

Fridge is usually cleaned on errands day, i.e. Saturday.
