One woman found joy in her kitchen command center!

At the dollar store I found a book by NYTBestseller Jen Lancaster whose opening pages said this:
“Life is too complicated not to be orderly.” ~ Martha Stewart
***
“Martha, you’re making us all look bad.” ~ Every other woman in America
Organizing can feel that way, especially when all we want to do is sleep or read a good book, or anything else that doesn’t remotely involve decluttering, tidying, or streamlining. BUT, when we choose to do that very thing with ONE item, activity, or routine, suddenly, we experience a new joy and clarity. And nothing does that better than connecting with other women who want to make things happen and get it done. I had to share this experience of one of the ladies in our monthly Back to Basics program. It was absolutely spot on for that feeling!
“I was so pumped after last night’s meeting that I got up an hour early this morning and finished my “Kitchen Command Center” that’s only been a pipe dream up to this point lol  I just need to make cute “TO DO” and “TO BUY” magnets for my whiteboard . The white boxes are my “medicine cabinet” stuff and I ACTUALLY FINISHED THE LABELS, per Connie Sokol’s rule  Feels so good to have that counter clutter free (the “BEFORE” shot would have terrified you, I promise!)”
We all have one of THOSE counters, or closets, or drawers. And it’s pure joy to get it decluttered and functioning fabulously. Organizing your life in meaningful ways creates a quality of life that’s meaningful in many ways. Because now you have the ability and mojo to do the very things your soul wants to do. And knows it needs to do in order to be truly happy.
So this week, I invite you to choose ONE thing to organize—time, energy, space, resources—whatever it may be for you. This morning I finally listed office organization needs—I had been more than avoidant. Just listing it on the computer made me FEEL BETTER. That one act. And now, I have a list to springboard individual actions, that will combine to create an entire completed project.
Shift your thinking and embrace organization. Know that one single choice for clarity or structure will yield a myriad of benefits, including peace of mind. And time to read a book.
Hugs,
Connie

  1. Connie – I absolutely love this post! As a Professional Organizer I see the joy created as we clear the clutter’, a client told me recently “it is magical!”.

    1. Thanks so much for sharing this! It’s so true, clearing things physically refreshes us emotionally. Love that you help others do this!
