Description

Going through our things and decluttering is a pain in the butt that few of us want to do. But having clutter inhibits our efficiency and costs us time. It takes us longer to find things, and longer to find space for things that need to be put away. In this episode, we talk about some simple and continuous decluttering systems so that we can declutter without having to do any big downsizing days.

Our community guest this week is Brittney Lynn, the CEO of the PR firm at BrittneyLLynn.com. She's in the process of selling her house to move into a van and embark on living the #VanLife (talk about downsizing!). We discuss her fears of moving into a tiny kitchen and having to cook in a differently-equipped space.

I am enjoying hearing your listener tips - keep them coming! If you want to leave a tip for us, call 321-325-0607 and leave a voicemail with your tip.

The meal plan for this week features five sheet pan meals. These are all meals that are made on a single sheet pan. So, you could say we're downsizing your cooking equipment too this week! Subscribe at COOKtheSTORY to get the meal plan, recipe links, and printable grocery lists sent your way.

Have a great day! xo

Quick Tip of the Week:Keep a bag, box, or a bin in any space you think you would like to eventually downsize or declutter. I keep a box in the closet so when I find anything that no longer fits or I don't wear, I can immediately add it to the box. My closet stays decluttered without me having to spend any time doing it!

Deeper Time Management Thought: Having a continuous decluttering system makes a habit of organizing clutter and makes it easier to stay organized. Limiting what you bring into the house or having a bin for temporary storage for things keeps your house presentable and organized. For example, before adding a new piece of clothing to your closet, discard an item first.
