So, here I am, standing in the middle of my office, surrounded by chaos, trying to figure out where to start. I wish I could snap my fingers and have everything magically organized, but unfortunately, it doesnât work that way. đŞ Instead, Iâm taking it one step at a time, tackling small sections each day.
Iâve realized that the clutter in my office isnât just physicalâit's mental and emotional, too. Itâs like the mess around me reflects the mental load Iâve been carrying. đŠ The pressure to keep everything together, manage the house, support my husband's art business, manage my businesses, be there for my children, and work on my school projects just piles up.
But hereâs the thing: Iâm permitting myself to take it slow. đ§đżââď¸ Iâm not going to beat myself up over the mess, but instead, Iâll focus on creating a space that feels good to be in. That means investing in some storage solutions and letting go of things that no longer serve me.
My husbandâs comment about the kids watching my office and not feeling motivated to clean their rooms hit me hard. At first, I was annoyed, but now I see the truth in it. Our kids do watch us, and they learn from what we do. đŚđ˝đ§đžSo, part of this process is about showing them that itâs okay to struggle with keeping things organized, but taking steps to improve the situation is also important.
This weekend, Iâm committing to a decluttering marathon. Iâll start with my desk, clearing it off so I can actually sit down and work. đ Then, Iâll tackle the merchandise and craft supplies, finding proper places for everything. It will take time, but Iâm determined to create an inspiring, not overwhelming space.
And you know what? Iâm going to let my daughter join in. Weâll make it a fun project, and who knows, maybe sheâll even be motivated to tackle her room. đŞđž
If youâve been struggling with clutter, whether in your home, mind, or both, I encourage you to take it one step at a time. Donât let the mess defeat youâfind your own way to bring some order to the chaos. Weâve got this! đ§šâ¨
With gratitude and a dash of courage,
