Starting Point Organizing, LLC

I have been seeing this common theme of “empty space” coming up a lot with my clients. Misty, what do you mean “empty space”? So glad you asked allow me to explain. In this realm of organizing it is natural to go through the process of decluttering and pushing out items that are no longer serving our lives. In that process it is often normal to condense what is left and find yourself with a ton of empty space.

The brains first inclination is to fill that space back up, but I always encourage clients to sit with that empty space whether it be a whole shelf, closet, or even just kitchen drawer. Then if you choose to put something in that space, do it with intention, not because the empty space is uncomfortable to look at.

How do you feel about empty spaces in your home? Do you want to put something in it or do you enjoy just extra empty space?

I do not believe in New Year’s resolutions but do always look at a new year a fresh clean slate to begin again. This year I’ve intentionally slowed down and am being more present in moments, time with people and even just in what I buy. I have found in the slow down I have less need for things and more need for moments. The need for less things is often met with the need to declutter, of which I am always going to do!

If you are feeling even remotely the same as me but feel stuck on how to begin that decluttering process, reach out! Consults are free and I love helping others reclaim their spaces!

Virtual sessions are also an option as well!

If one of your priorities in this upcoming new year is to get a little or a lot more organized then let’s chat! I’d love to help you reach those goals! I have some openings on my calendar for January still!

Have a safe and Happy New Year!!!

Christmas is my favorite time of year that I love my home! I get caught up in the whimsical ways of the holiday. I go full throttle turning my home into a cozy Christmas wonderland.

Pulling out my Christmas items each year also forces me to take stock of my everyday decor I have. Everyday decor gets put away when I put my Christmas decor out. As I am making that switch I sometimes decide to completely get rid of some items. Why? Because they are no longer serving me and my space and it is time for them to move along to where they will be useful.

Decluttering isn’t just about getting rid of “things” it’s a process of discovering what really speaks to you and deserves to take up precious real estate in your home!
