Don't Try to Declutter Without These

"Stuff" can have such a grip on us for so many reasons.

Sometimes the best thing to get us to do what's right -- let go to free up space, time and energy -- is to know the right question to ask ourselves.

Motivating Questions: Which one is most motivating to you? And to your family members?

• Who could be getting use out of this every day?
• What is the worst thing that could happen if I get rid of this?
• Can I take a picture of it and then let it go?
• What could I sell this for?
• Would I rather have the item or would I rather have the space it takes?

So what do you think? Which one does it for you? And your family members?

Identify that, write it down, and use it over and over and over again.

That is exactly what the mamas in the Jan. 4-8 Organizing Alongside Kids (OAK) Challenge have been doing this week. I am absolutely thrilled with the physical and mental blocks that they have overcome in order to get their homes organized.

Remember, everything you keep costs you. 

Space.

Time.

Money.
