What is too much?

Do you ask your self sometimes "What is too much?  Do I have to many clothes, shoes, underwear, dishes, cups, and so forth? Really how many shoes does one person need!
My experiences with this question is that life is much more enjoyable without so much stuff. Your stuff can really stress you out if you have too much. Things start to accumulate and to start to feel overwhelmed and stressful. You get to a point that you don't know where to start the declutter routine.
I want to give to some helpful ideas to how to keep your stuff limited. Really how many pairs of shoes do you really wear. I bet if you went into your closet right now and pulled out all of your shoes and you tell me you have worn all of those shoes in 6 months. If you have worn all of them, then find a good shoe storage, but I bet you wore about 5-10 of them.  If you have not worn them, then I bet you never will wear them. So that is a good sign to donate them. If you can't part from them then to must wear them that week. Make yourself wear them or donate. This is with everything you own.
Making small goals help you feel much better about your clutter. Example week 1 My Goals
* Empty each drawer one at a time throw or donate at least 5 or more things from each drawer.
Go through closet, for every 15 pieces get rid of at least 5-6 things. If you don't wish to get rid of it then before you buy something new you must donate something old. Remember too much is not healthy. Another good thing to remember is picture yourself moving into a tiny home and you only can bring 5-6 things off each thing you owned. Just imagine how to would feel. Remember small goals, don't plan out what to want at the end, you will get there in small steps.

What to buy when you are ready to ORGANIZE

I hear from my future clients that they have no idea what kind of things to buy before I visit to help them clear out the clutter.  I have put together a cheat sheet for my clients so when I meet them to talk about what needs to be done they can see what to buy before I visit. Today I visited two different Goodwill's in my area, I was amazed on what I found for less then $15.  I got baskets, containers, and much more to help with my organizing jobs.  My clients have the option to purchase before I visit or use what I have for a small fee.  I will post a few pictures I got today.  So its best to visit those thrift stores ever so often to find some treasures.  I am excited because I have a bunch of people interested in my organize services.  Here are my finds today.

Let's get organized for the new school year.

So I am having mixed emotions about the school year. I have a different feeling this year and it's sometimes a sad feeling because my baby boy starts kindergarten soon and sometimes I feel excited because we need to get on a routine and be more organized. Summer is great but we don't stay on a good routine and I feel disorganized. Here are some things I am going to try to work on and try to stick with, because it's important to have the same routine for everyone. I will confess I am really good at starting things with good intentions but then life happens and it falls through. My goal is to stick with it for all of us to have a stress-free school year. One of our big stuggles is getting ready in the morning. First of all he sleeps in. Then he takes for ever picking out his outfits. So I decided that every Sunday evening we are picking out 6 outfits and I got a organize hanging thing for closet where he can put his 6 things he can wear during the week. He will not be abl...
