If your home doesn't feel "styled", and you're struggling with what to put up on the walls, or what to display on your mantel, I have two tips in this episode to help you with that:

1. Take the Organizing Personality quiz to find out which personality you are, how to use your strengths within that category to help you declutter more quickly, and style your rooms more easily, and
2. Tips to choose art to beautify your rooms with.

We're celebrating Earth Day this week, and so here are two ways to clean chemical clutter from your home:

1. Remove some PFAS-containing products and personal-care items from your home, and
2. Declutter your cleaning and disinfecting supplies

Making the distinction between cleaning and disinfecting cleared up which cleaning products I should keep, and which I could get rid of.
You can look up ingredients and ratings from the Environmental Working Group at ewg.org.
Pat Chin also shares her Organizing Story with us. She's a Healthy Home consultant, which means she helps people to remove unwanted pollutants from their homes. She went through the 'cleaning products detox' herself, and shares how she did it, and how she ultimately became a consultant to help other families do the same.

We make mental maps every day, and sometimes, these mental maps of the stuff we try to keep track of can overload our minds! And that causes stress – not to mention, we can’t remember where we put that very important things we were SURE we wouldn’t forget!
That’s why I use The Simple Single - the single location to store each type of thing in our homes.
Once we get this down, then we can branch out and store certain things in multiple locations.
If you start with the Simple Single, together with the CLEAR Framework from Episode 001, you’ll be on the road to quickly being able to find anything you own, anytime.
