Hi Reader,

Happy New Year! 🎉I hope this email finds you well-rested after the holiday season.

The quiet week between Christmas and New Year's has always been my favorite time for reflection. While the social calendar is quieter, and the house is relatively peaceful, I take the opportunity to think about my goals for the upcoming year.

This year, I'm especially excited because I'll be creating even more practical tools and resources to help you achieve the organized home you've been dreaming of.

In fact, I've already kicked off the year with a brand new blog post: "7 Steps to Start Your Organized Year" [click here].

I break down exactly how to begin your organization journey without feeling overwhelmed. And to make it even easier to implement, I've created a free companion guide (available here) that will walk you through each step this month. Think of it as your personal organization workbook - with clear action items and tracking sheets to keep you on track.

I know from working with hundreds of busy moms that trying to tackle everything at once is a recipe for frustration. That's why I'll be breaking down these steps into manageable weekly actions throughout January.

Each week, I'll guide you through implementing specific parts of the system, share additional tips and tricks, and help you avoid common pitfalls. Consider me your personal organization coach for the next four weeks!

This Week's Focus:

Real, lasting organization starts with something much simpler: understanding your "why."

Think about it - why do you want an organized home? Is it:

- To feel calmer when you walk through your door?

- To spend less time searching for things?

- To have more quality time with your family?

- To stop feeling embarrassed about last-minute visitors?

- To teach your kids valuable life skills?

When you're clear on your "why," you're much more likely to stick with new habits when things get challenging.

Your Homework This Week: 🖊️

1. Download your “7 Steps” companion guide here.

2. Complete the Step 1 worksheet: “Your Personal Why”

3. Post your completed mission statement somewhere visible

4. Take a “before” photo of your biggest pain point area

5. Share your “why” with your family

Next week, we’ll dive into practical actions that will start transforming your space. But for now, focus on getting crystal clear about your motivation. Trust me - this foundation step makes all the difference.

Here’s to your organized 2025! ⭐

Warmly,

Sandy
