Are You Staying or Selling?

Take Yourself Out of the Home!

Once you put house your home on the market it’s not yours anymore, itโ€™s for the next set of people.ย 

As hard as reality sounds, you need to depersonalize the house to sell it. Try to see it through the buyerโ€™s eyes and think zero clutter, warm wall palettes, soft textures, and small bursts of color โ€”youโ€™re aiming for neutral, but still keep the home charming!

Ways to Depersonalize the Home:

  1. Remove all personal / family pictures and photos.
  2. Get a headstart on packing up the NOT NEEDED NOW items.
  3. Pack up collections and collectibles.
  4. Pack away toys and sporting equipment – Keep the ones in use in stylish storage that fits the room design.
  5. Donโ€™t forget to depersonalize the bathrooms – put your and the family’s toiletries into a carry tote for each family member. This keeps the bathroom looking tidy & clean.
  6. Erase any trace of your personal hobbies. This one I donโ€™t follow thoroughly – if there is an area where you may need imagination about what to do with the room, I have used fitness and musical equipment in areas throughout the home . . . remember we want to keep the charm!

Weโ€™re giving the buyer a glimpse of how the home can be lived in, not how the home is lived in!

What Does It Mean To Be Organized?

What does it mean to be organized? This is a question I get from my clients, especially when they are in the INTENTIONAL DECISION process of the Organize Coaching program. It is not an easy question to answer, because I know what it is like for me – we are all different when it comes to finding “homes” for our belongings.

Being organized means different things to different people. For some, it means having a clean and tidy home. For others, it means being able to find what they need when they need it. And for still others, it means being able to manage their time effectively.

There is no one right way to be organized. The important thing is to find what works for you and stick with it. If you are struggling to get organized, there are many resources available to help you.

The most important thing to remember is that being organized is a journey, not a destination. It takes time and effort to get organized, but it is worth it in the end. When you are organized, you will feel more in control of your life and you will be able to focus on the things that are important to you.

Being organized can have various meanings and interpretations depending on the context and individual perspectives. Here are some common characteristics and experiences associated with being organized:

  1. Clarity and Focus: Being organized often entails having a clear understanding of priorities, tasks, and goals. It involves being able to focus on what matters most without getting overwhelmed by unnecessary distractions or clutter.
  2. Efficiency and Productivity: Organization often leads to increased efficiency and productivity. By having systems in place, being able to find what you need when you need them, and managing time effectively, you can accomplish tasks more efficiently and make better use of your resources.
  3. Reduced Stress: An organized lifestyle can contribute to reduced stress levels. When you have a sense of control over your environment, tasks, and commitments, you are less likely to experience the anxiety and overwhelm that can come with disorganization.
  4. Improved Time Management: Being organized allows for better time management. You can prioritize tasks, allocate time effectively, and create schedules or routines that optimize your productivity. This can help you avoid procrastination, meet deadlines, and have a better work-life balance.
  5. Less Clutter and Physical Order: Organization often involves keeping physical spaces tidy and clutter-free. Having an organized living or working environment can create a sense of calm, make it easier to find things, and provide a visually appealing space that promotes well-being.
  6. Better Decision-Making: Being organized can contribute to better decision-making processes. When you have a clear overview of your options, relevant information, and priorities, you can make informed choices more efficiently and confidently.
  7. Improved Accountability and Responsibility: Being organized can foster a sense of accountability and responsibility for your actions and commitments. By having systems in place, tracking progress, and meeting deadlines, you can develop a reputation for reliability and dependability.
  8. Enhanced Creativity and Focus: Some individuals find that being organized can enhance their creativity and focus. When the external environment is organized and distractions are minimized, it becomes easier to concentrate, think creatively, and generate new ideas.

It’s important to note that being organized is a personal journey, and what works for one person may not work for another. The key is to find organizational strategies and systems that align with your preferences, needs, and goals, and create a sense of order and harmony in your life – this is where a Professional Organizer Coach can help you.

Journal For Your Mental Health

Unsplash.com – Sixteen Miles Out

Journaling can be a great way to improve your mental health. It can help you to:

  • Unclutter your mind and reduce stress
  • Process difficult emotions
  • Track your progress and goals
  • Reflect on your life and make positive changes

When journaling, it is important, to be honest with yourself and to write about whatever is on your mind. You may want to write about your thoughts, feelings, experiences, or goals. You can also use journaling to brainstorm ideas, plan for the future, or simply relax and de-stress.

There are many different ways to journal. You can write in a traditional journal, or you can use a blog, an online journal, or even a voice memo app. There is no right or wrong way to journal, so find what works best for you.

If you are new to journaling, it can be helpful to start with a few prompts. Here are a few ideas:

  • What are you grateful for today?
  • What is one thing you are proud of yourself for?
  • What is one thing you are looking forward to?
  • What is one thing you are worried about?
  • What is one thing you want to change about your life?

Once you get started, you may find that journaling becomes a regular part of your routine. It can be a great way to connect with yourself and improve your mental health.

Here are some additional tips for journaling:

  • Find a quiet place where you can write without distractions.
  • Set aside some time each day to journal, even if it is just for a few minutes.
  • Don’t worry about grammar or spelling. Just write whatever comes to mind.
  • If you get stuck, try writing about something that is bothering you or something that you are grateful for.
  • Reread your journal entries from time to time to see how you have grown and changed.
  • Journaling can be a great way to process your thoughts and feelings, so don’t be afraid, to be honest with yourself.

If you find that journaling is not helpful for you, there are other things you can do to improve your mental health. Talk to a coach, counselor, or therapist, join a support group, or try other relaxation techniques such as yoga or meditation.

I Do This Every Morning . . .

It brings me pleasure, motivation, an action toward my goals.

It’s okay to include your children or family.

It takes about 10 to 20 minutes of your day.

๐“˜๐“‰’๐“ˆ ๐’ฟ๐‘œ๐“Š๐“‡๐“ƒ๐’ถ๐“๐’พ๐“ƒ๐‘” . . . I been journaling since I could write. I always had a notebook and my collection of pens. My friends would be looking at the toys in the Navy Exchange while I was checking out the new fancy pens on display in the Stationary Section.

I really don’t know what to say to others about HOW I AM – having a journal that never expects anything from me in return, it’s easy to just write about anything.

It’s not that I don’t care about people, I just don’t feel comfortable saying anything other than “I’m okay”. My journal is the space where I can be honest, rude, negative, hopeless, worthless, and above ALL be truthful with myself.

It is not always a smooth journey that leads to an easy destination. There are times when things can get worse before getting better. At times you have to travel unpaved paths to come to the most magnificent visions. Who doesn’t love a rainbow after a violent storm? That’s when you get the prettiest rainbows.

I have used this writing prompt in the past with clients, especially the individuals whom I arrived at on Saturday morning and they would say to me “I didn’t get ANYTHING done this week” I would reply with “Really, you didn’t do anything this week?” I would leave them with this writing prompt as Homework.

The amazement the following week never came from me, it was from my client to learn how many actions they do attend to during the week that’s where I come in as a coach to direct that foot traffic to the purposeful matters.

Enoy journaling . . .
