I have spent the majority of my life as a clutter bug only to realize I am happiest in a minimalist environment. Clutter actually sends me over the edge. I have 4 kids – amazing how the clutter, laundry dishes etc increase not by a factor of 2 but by a factor of a million. I have the largest non-commercial washing machine you can buy and I still do 5 loads a week. I do separate colors but there are 2 jumbo loads of darks. I think one of my kids straightens her drawers by dumping the clothes in the laundry so I can fold it and put it back neatly for her. I LOVE Marie Kondo and I went through the declutter process on my house – it was amazing. That was 2 years ago and I’m due for another round. The biggest miss on my part was not creating the tidy habits she suggests. Enter your awesome habit tracker. I will be printing that and trying it out today. There are about 5 sheets I’ve saved to print – now I need to find 30 minutes to start filling them out. I do use the Levenger/Arc planners at work and at home – I find the fun graphic pages available to be encouraging and motivating. I too have gone days without washing my hair (I refuse to count how many), doing laundry or cleaning my house and I suffer from anxiety and depression when things are not clean. It’s a terrible cycle to get sucked into. I have a robot vacuum which makes me sooo happy when I hear it running around my house. I have little tiny animal vacuums that I bought for the kids to vacuum the crumbs off the dinner table (lasted for about a month – then they tried to vacuum the garden with them). I look forward to looking through your site for new options, ideas and printables in my journey to a clean, organized house and eventually some free time for fun and adventures.
