It may look like I have it ALL TOGETHER, but the truth is...organized people have unorganized moments, make mistakes and have struggles too! . Truth? I left THIS laptop š» at a coffee shop two Thursdayās ago and it was stollen š¢. My kitchen is currently a big mess, I got a speeding ticket while driving with an expired license in December, I shouted (so loud all the neighbors heard) at Luke yesterday in the backyard for throwing a frisbee at his brotherās face (only to find out it was just a mistake) and I honestly donāt know what I am doing some days with running my business or how I will make payroll when business is slow. . HEREāS the point! How you do one thing is NOT always how you do everything! I could let these mentioned setbacks take me down a rabbit hole of self judgement and action paralysis (believe me, I did take about a 1/2 day to beat myself up about them), but instead, I decided to āchoose again,ā as @gabbybernstein says. . I choose to not let mistakes be my make up, I choose to continue my healthy habits of regular exercise, showing up to team meetings and creating content even when itās hard. I choose order over chaos, over and over again because #LivingOrganized far out weighs living disorganized. . I choose to reframe my poor choices as lessons for self improvement and to see where I need to refocus. I choose to remember all the things I am doing that ARE working and all the days that are running smoothly. . Iām reminding you that you can be amazing and be an occasional mess, you can have it all together in certain areas and still be working on others. You can choose to show up instead shut down. You my friend, are able to chose again in the moment. I choose honesty and action - in that order! . Now Iām off to clean š§¼ my kitchen because I know one positive action leads to another. . . . #realtalk #therealorganizersofinstagram #professionalorganizers #homeoffice #thisislife #tellall #microblog #notperfect #gabbybernstein

Iām my experience, RUSHING is one of the main causes of continual clutter and why many people never seem to get a handle on maintaining an organized home. When we RUSH, we donāt complete and when we donāt give ourselves enough time to complete, we canāt maintain the systems that keep order. . To help, here is my S.L.O.W. Method to stop rushing. . S-STOP yourself from doing things part way. If you cannot do it properly, donāt complete it improperly. . L-LEAVE for appointments before you think you should. If you arrive early, you will get some unexpected āyouā time. . O-ORGANIZE your schedule to have buffer time before and after appointments for maintenance. . W-WITHHOLD from stuffing and shoving things when you are rushed. Keep a Put-Back basket on each level of your home to toss items that need more attention to handle or put away properly. .

He was a true gift and I will never forget the doctors and nurses that looked after me during my extremely difficult pregnancy with Dean. . Three years later, it melts my heart to see these brothers adoration for each other. . . . #birthdayboy #brotherlylove #dean #thisisthree #boymom #dallassnow #brothersforlife #mompreneur #montessoriathome #Januarybaby #capricorn #hypermesisgravidarum #fertilityawareness #vbacsuccess

What are you doing to recharge your batteries? . For me, self preservation is key to operating at my best for others. . I do my best to walk the walk, so I can talk the talk to my clients and people in the #livingorganized community. . Here are 3 things I do to recharge my batteries : . 1. I schedule down time. Even if itās 90 minutes to be home alone or to stroll through a local consignment shop with no agenda. . 2. I do regular heart-pumping cardiovascular exercise. This always changes my state to a more positive one, increases my confidence to overcome challenges and clears my mind to form new ideas. . 3. I give myself buffer time between appointments. This way I can take a few moments to tie up loose ends and get set before the next meeting. Even if itās 15 minutes, it makes such a difference. . What do you do to recharge? . . . #recharge #rechargeyoursoul #organizedhome #selfcare #tipsandtricks #batteryorganization
