“Our brains and our environments are inextricably connected. … Clutter-free and serene environments alter our brain chemistry for the better. Our brains are neuroplastic, constantly changing to responding to our environments. Imagine walking into a clutter-free room. There is peaceful music playing and a few candles are twinkling. Our body and brain will literally exhale. … Cortisol and adrenaline will decrease, and serotonin will increase. Our brains dance daily with our external worlds. Thus, a serene home can elevate good neurochemical changes in your brain.” Dr. Robin Berman, author of Permission to Parent.

Back to School Before/After
This busy mom sought help getting the lunch packing supplies organized so her children could pack their own lunches with ease. Most of the supplies were kept in an upper corner cabinet, not exactly conducive to easy lunch packing. I had her put all the containers on the counter to gauge how much space we needed for supplies, and snapped a picture. I noted a blank spot under the counter and an overwrought area in the corner with dog care supplies. A plan was forming. What do you think of the before and after pictures? More info in the comments.

Client: Oh, you saw those?
Me: You did a good job hiding them, but . . . I am a trained professional.🤣

“So, are you like Marie Kondo, where you fold things in a certain way?” I get this question a lot. MK has a very specific organizing style. It’s not for everybody, and that’s okay. You need to organize for your intuitive organizing style and not worry if it’s Pinterest Perfect. If you want help organizing and decluttering, I can help with that, and I won’t insist that you fold items a certain way. :)

“Clutter is insidious. If it’s left in one place for more than 21 days, it becomes invisible and lowers its volume, becoming white noise in the background to which you have become accustomed. Have you ever noticed the relief you feel when that white noise gets turned off? Your ears are suddenly ...
