What Decluttering Will Do For You!

Leave a Comment

Having trouble getting things done? There is a way to fix that. Simplify your life. Start decluttering! Creating a simple, clutter-free environment will make it easier for you to pay attention to those things that, right now, you just can’t get done!

How does that work?

Visually, an organized room is pleasing to the eye. You will like being there.
Emotionally, the sense of accomplishment feels good – really good!
Things don’t get lost!

When your home is organized, you know where all of your stuff is. Think of all the time spent trying to find something when everything is a mess. And, get this, when your home is organized it will be OK for company to just drop in. Imagine that! In fact, it looks so good that you may actually hope someone drops in! Being organized brings order to your universe and, suddenly, “all is right with the world.”

Now here is the best part about “found-time.” This is when you can look for the the things to pursue that will put the “WOW FACTOR” into your life!

Maybe there is a hobby you always wanted to pursue.
Maybe you will resurrect a life-long ambition!
Perhaps you have been yearning for more time with family and friends. Now you will have it!
Whatever that Wow Factor is, it will give you energy just thinking about it!

Motivational speaker Brian Klemmer says in his book “If How-To’s Were Enough, We Would All Be SKINNY, RICH & HAPPY” that you need to find a vision and define the WHY behind your goals. He encourages the reader to start on their biggest goal now, even if you aren’t sure that it is the right one. He points out that it is easier to guide a ship that is moving than one that refuses to leave the dock! So, his strongest advice in this book is: get started NOW!

Steps to your dream:

Clear the clutter and get organized. (Do not strive for perfection. It will slow you down.)
Apply your new-found time to your biggest goal.
Search for the “WHY.” Get quiet and pray. You need to know the purpose behind what you are about to do.

What is the “why?” According to Klemmer, it is “the fuel that powers your goals and meaning to your accomplishments.” In other words, when it is that inspired “God idea,” you would be willing to climb Mt. Everest to make it happen! (And climbing Mr. Everest ain’t easy!)

“So, how do I begin?” I could try to tell you but I have to say that Terri Savelle Foy does it better. Her book “Declutter Your Way To Success” lays it out so simply and is so motivating.

To give you a taste of what this “cheerleader of dreams” has to say about how to declutter your way to success, watch this video. She explains it really well.

So, if you thought you were enjoying life already…clear the clutter and see what happens.

It will take your life to a whole new level!

Sewing Tip You Will Not Believe!

Leave a Comment

This sewing tip is called “the Secret of the Red Dot” and, I kid you not, with 50+ years of sewing experience this is the first time I have ever heard it!

Have you seen seam ripping tools? They are hand-held and have a sharp point. There is also another protrusion with a little red ball … a red dot… on the end. How many times I have poked holes in the fabric? Ugh, and it could have been so easily avoided.

Before I say it what the secret is, just watch this quick video where I learned this nifty “best kept secret” tip!

So, here’s the BIG SECRET if you insert the point that has the red dot, instead of the sharp point, and rip a seam, you will not put holes in the garment! So simple. So unknown-ish. OK, someone out there knows but I sure did not. LOL!

Anybody know what that red dot on your seam ripper is there for? Why did it take me so long to find out??? #sewing #tips #today Share on X
