This spoke so deeply to my organizational and clutter-hating heart. So many great tips and also a reminder to JFDI (just fucking do it) for my project list. Another tip I’d give is to pick a podcast / audio book / or album and use that as your soundtrack. Helps you get lost in the process in a good way. Finally, for the people that you know that have everything, gifting them the spice drawer organizers and then doing the organization for them is one of my go-to gifts. I’ve done it for two friends who have more money than god and it has been such a hit. Don’t hesitate to share more updates as you cross off other items on your to-do list!

I thought the handbag tumble was just a consequence of the choices I made. I didn't know there was another way.

This was incredibly satisfying to read. I'm picking up a lot of these hacks as I'm in the middle of home improvement hell.

I have a wall mounted bioethanol fire, I love it! It's surprising how much heat it kicks out too, when I first had it I thought it would be more like lighting a decorative candle.

Great ideas here!! Love those paint colors - had never thought about a pink shade for my bathroom but NOW I’m considering

I love how you help your housekeeper! Ironically, as messy as I am, I have proper sheet sets 😂 and I also have a cleaning kit. The other ideas are genius, especially the cedar.

My housekeeper is my queen and if she ever leaves me I’ll be devastated

Pray that she doesn’t die. I lost M to cancer last year 😢 and am lucky that her sister took over.

Wow I love this! This reminds me of Your post last year on taking care of your clothes which I LOVED and helped me shave down my old pilled sweaters.

As someone that's going to be moving later this fall—and is already stressing on how to keep things organized—I thank you for your service! 🫡

Thank you for this! Would you mind going into more detail on how you fit this into your busy schedule, and how long did this all take? I have a huge list like this and I'm easily overwhelmed before I even start!
