🚨 Office Declutter! 🚨

Updated: Oct 26, 2024


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 doesn’t work that way. 🪄 Instead, I’m taking it one step at a time, tackling small sections each day.


I’ve realized that the clutter in my office isn’t just physical—it's mental and emotional, too. It’s like the mess around me reflects the mental load I’ve been carrying. 😩 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 here’s the thing: I’m permitting myself to take it slow. 🧘🏿‍♀️ I’m not going to beat myself up over the mess, but instead, I’ll 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 husband’s 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. 👦🏽👧🏾So, part of this process is about showing them that it’s okay to struggle with keeping things organized, but taking steps to improve the situation is also important.


This weekend, I’m committing to a decluttering marathon. I’ll start with my desk, clearing it off so I can actually sit down and work. 📚 Then, I’ll tackle the merchandise and craft supplies, finding proper places for everything. It will take time, but I’m determined to create an inspiring, not overwhelming space.


And you know what? I’m going to let my daughter join in. We’ll make it a fun project, and who knows, maybe she’ll even be motivated to tackle her room. 💪🏾


If you’ve been struggling with clutter, whether in your home, mind, or both, I encourage you to take it one step at a time. Don’t let the mess defeat you—find your own way to bring some order to the chaos. We’ve got this! 🧹✨


With gratitude and a dash of courage,
