Need some motivation with decluttering?

Keep these 5 simple tips in mind:

1. Skip the “temporary” storage. It often turns permanent. Make a choice now: keep it or let it go.

2. Watch out for “I might need it someday.” Without clear intention, that phrase becomes a way to hold on to things unnecessarily.

3. Too many of the same item? Let go of the duplicates and extras you don’t actually use.

4. If you have it, use it. If not, reconsider why you’re keeping and let it go.

5. Perfection isn’t the goal. It can actually slow you down—focus on progress instead.

Which tip felt like a kind nudge in the right direction? Let me know in the comments.

I am wishing everyone a beautiful holiday! I may not be the best at posting promptly on Instagram, but I genuinely appreciate the support of my followers. Thank you for being here! May your holiday be filled with joy, love, and good cheer ✨✨✨

With the holiday season upon us, it’s a great time to rethink our gift-giving habits. Statistics show that the holiday gift-giving season can be surprisingly wasteful, contributing significantly to household clutter. To make a positive change, consider these sustainable gift ideas that are both thoughtful and eco-friendly.

-Gift experiences over “stuff”. Massages, spa treatments, concert tickets, or a meal out are excellent options!
-Consider pre-owned items from sites like Poshmark, The Real Real, or Mercado. You’ll be surprised at what you will find!
-Books, pre-owned or wooden toys over new, plastic toys.
-Cash! I’d say that cash over gift cards is a more sustainable choice UNLESS the store offers a paperboard, recyclable gift card.
-Shop local small business. Doing so helps boost the local economy, and more often than not, local stores offer one-of-a-kind gifts like candles, pottery, linens and plants.

The easiest way to begin your decluttering project is to keep these 5 tips in mind ⬇️

1. Steer clear of temporary storage. What starts as temporary often becomes permanent. Make a decision now: keep it or let it go.
2. “I might need it someday.” This phrase often arises when people hesitate to part with something. Without a clear decision-making process, “someday” becomes just an excuse.
3. Let go of items when you surpass the quantity you actually use.
4. If you have it, make sure to USE it.
5. Don’t strive for perfection. Pursuing perfection can hinder your progress toward achieving your goals.

Hi Kara, what was your thought process behind starting your own business?Having completed my Master’s Degree in Edu...

Sorted is commemorating its 11th year in business today! It’s a significant milestone worth celebrating.

Here’s how it all began. For about eight years, I juggled part-time organizing gigs on the side. I found joy in organizing, but I hesitated about turning it into a sustainable career. Encouragement from satisfied clients nudged me towards starting my own organizing venture. It took some time to gather the courage. Despite my initial worries, I eventually took the leap and transitioned to full-time work 11 years ago. Looking back, I’m glad I did.

What does this journey signify, and why should you care? It brings me great joy to help others achieve a sense of peace and order in their living spaces. Sorted is committed to helping clients find serenity in their space.

1️⃣ Sort-Do you have a plethora of coffee mugs? Enough vases that you could start your own floral shop? Pull everything out of the drawer, cabinet, or closet that you’re working on and begin sorting.

2️⃣ Group-grouping like items together shows how many similar items you have and spots any duplication. This will help you decide what to keep and give away.

3️⃣ Home-Creating a system to put things back where they “belong” helps keep everything organized and tidy. It also reduces the chance of buying duplicates or losing the essential things you’re looking for.

Remember to start small. Tackling the whole house is unrealistic and will lead to overwhelm. Go room by room; you can gain momentum once the decluttering process comes together.
