Simplifying with the Container Method
Simplifying with the container method, what on earth does that even mean? I’ll break it down a bit. The container method is not something only applied towards stuff and clutter throughout the home. Although it can absolutely include that, when I say containers, I mean some sort of parameter that we have, whether it's around our stuff or a container that holds something. Like a container of time, or a container of energy for example.Oftentimes, we overfill our containers, and that is what causes so much unnecessary frustration, overwhelm, stress, and anxiety within our li...
