So, here I am, standing in the middle of my office, surrounded by chaos, trying to figure out where to start. I wish I could snap my fingers and have everything magically organized, but unfortunately, it doesnāt work that way. šŖ Instead, Iām taking it one step at a time, tackling small sections each day.
Iāve realized that the clutter in my office isnāt just physicalāit's mental and emotional, too. Itās like the mess around me reflects the mental load Iāve been carrying. š© The pressure to keep everything together, manage the house, support my husband's art business, manage my businesses, be there for my children, and work on my school projects just piles up.
But hereās the thing: Iām permitting myself to take it slow. š§šæāāļø Iām not going to beat myself up over the mess, but instead, Iāll focus on creating a space that feels good to be in. That means investing in some storage solutions and letting go of things that no longer serve me.
My husbandās comment about the kids watching my office and not feeling motivated to clean their rooms hit me hard. At first, I was annoyed, but now I see the truth in it. Our kids do watch us, and they learn from what we do. š¦š½š§š¾So, part of this process is about showing them that itās okay to struggle with keeping things organized, but taking steps to improve the situation is also important.
This weekend, Iām committing to a decluttering marathon. Iāll start with my desk, clearing it off so I can actually sit down and work. š Then, Iāll tackle the merchandise and craft supplies, finding proper places for everything. It will take time, but Iām determined to create an inspiring, not overwhelming space.
And you know what? Iām going to let my daughter join in. Weāll make it a fun project, and who knows, maybe sheāll even be motivated to tackle her room. šŖš¾
If youāve been struggling with clutter, whether in your home, mind, or both, I encourage you to take it one step at a time. Donāt let the mess defeat youāfind your own way to bring some order to the chaos. Weāve got this! š§¹āØ
With gratitude and a dash of courage,
