Focus Organizing

Vanessa came to speak with us about organizing our homes.
She gave us a four step process and said the most important thing is to set boundaries!!

Step 1: Assess the space (MESS)

• M - is it a mechanical issue? perhaps a broken drawer? is the space blocked by furniture?
• E - emotional... not everything has to be sentimental, friends.
• S - situational. Did you just have a new baby? Did you just move in to your house (6 years ago for me)?
• S - system. You don't have the proper system in place to be successful

Step 2: Plan

What is your priority?
How much time do you have?
Vanessa gives herself anywhere between 4-8 hours for a closet, while an office can take 16-24 hours.

Step 3: Implement (LEASE)

• L - put like things with like things
• E - eliminate. donate things or throw them away
• A - assign things a home. find a place for everything!
• S - go shopping! Yay!! (for organizing materials)
• E - equalize. Once the system is in place, you have to maintain it daily.

Step 4: Evaluate

Is it working for you?

Thank you Vanessa, for coming to help us out! I know that my house could definitely use a makeover. Spring cleaning needs to happen year round up in here.
