Hey friend, happy to have you here today. I'm so thrilled to be hanging out with you. We are doing a

Q&A episode. We have not done in Ask Me Anything episode in several months

and it is time. So make sure to stick around to the end because I am answering an amazing

question that was thrown at me a few weeks ago. And that was how to make sure that clutter

doesn't build throughout the summertime. Y'all, I'm so excited to answer this question and many others.

So let's dive in.

Susan asked, what are your top two or three organization tips for limiting clutter in the

home?

If you've been around me for any amount of time, you probably know my number one answer is that

before organization comes into play,

it's helpful to never have to organize it. And one way we can do that is by reducing clutter

that comes into your home. So if we never bring it into our home, we never have to organize

it and we never have to spend our time and

energy moving it around and figuring out where to put it. I don't know about you, but that makes me

feel amazing. And that's one of many reasons. It feels so good to just say, you know what,

I don't need this. I'm going to skip this. I can appreciate if someone else has it or wears it or

uses it, but it doesn't mean I need it
