Why I love to reset in February - Thoughts from a Professional Organizer


After the whirlwind of the holidays, I dedicated January to rest and recovery—a perfect choice for the dark, cold, and snowy days. So, what did I do? I read books, binge-watched Netflix, cooked comforting meals, stretched often, cuddled with my cat, and worked on puzzles. On days when I had more energy, I tackled a deep clean of my home and kicked off a three-month no-spend challenge—fitting, since I was already in a mindset of slowing down and resetting.

Now, with January behind me, I feel genuinely refreshed. February is my month to set intentions for the year ahead, reflecting on what’s working and what might need to shift.

Here’s where I’m focusing my energy:

✨ Intentional spending. This year, I’m committed to acquiring less and being mindful of every dollar. That means reviewing all expenses, trimming what’s unnecessary, and finding better deals where I can.

✨ Business growth. I’m expanding my services and continuing my education to better support my clients. Learning excites me, and I have some exciting things in the works!

✨ Simplifying routines. Streamlining processes creates more space for what truly matters. I’m evaluating what no longer serves me and letting it go.

I encourage you to reflect on areas where small, meaningful changes could improve your life. They don’t have to be drastic—sometimes, the simplest shifts make the biggest difference. Don’t chase perfection; consistency is what leads to real transformation. Show up for yourself, be patient, and remember: not every day will go as planned, and that’s perfectly okay!

Grief and Possessions - Thoughts from a Professional Organizer

Image
  Grief and Possessions  This is a complicated place to be, I know because I am a fellow griever myself. On November 10, 2021, my beloved brother died suddenly and tragically, now forever 35, leaving behind a heartbroken and grief stricken family. Through a tangled web of trying to navigate my grief, this tragedy lead me to follow my dreams and start my own small business as a Professional Organizer.   Within my first few months of business, I started working with some long-term clients experiencing their own grief, and am continuing to work them. It almost felt like it was meant to be getting to work with them as I got my small business up and running, as I am a part of this club too, a place no one wants to be, but once you are in it, you just get it. As difficult and heartbreaking as it is, overtime, if you let it, your grief can teach you many lessons. My heightened compassion, empathy and connection to their pain was a perfect match. Somehow, I am able to sit with t...

What is your Why?? Thoughts from a Professional Organizer

What is your Why?? This is a big question - in everything we do, and in this scenario - Organizing!!! Everyone will have their own answers, which is technically the right answer, in my opinion anyway 😉 Find your Why …before you even think about starting your organizing journey. Yep, I am jumping right into this topic, because it is a favourite. Find your Why!  It is easy to just impulsively open your closet one day and start to pull everything out, get excited about the idea of a curated, less bulky and appealing looking closest space (and hey, this might actually work for some people!) - but that feeling can dissipate quickly when you find yourself buried under a heap of clothes and you’ve been there for hours, you have dinner plans in 20 minutes and you feel like you’ve accomplished nothing. Plus, you are now in a much bigger mess than you started with, and zero time to get back in there to finish anytime soon. Does this sound familiar? You are truly not alone. What went wrong? ...

Is Your Schedule To Full??? Thoughts from a Professional Organizer

  Is Your Schedule To Full??? Thoughts from a Professional Organizer and How To Do Less Guilty over here! Do you open your calendar and see something scheduled for every day for the rest of 2024 and beyond? How does this make you feel? Stressed, anxious, overwhelmed, exhausted? Or a nice big blend of it all? Yes, to all!   There is the part of me that likes to know all the things that are coming up so I can plan accordingly, but I still ask myself, where is the time for relaxing and doing nothing, or for spontaneity? Here is the thing, all the things that I do have scheduled are things that I love and want to do. I just know it is too full and not sustainable in the long run. So what am I going to do about it? Here is what I have been actively doing in my calendar, to make me feel like I have some control over it: 2024 is set - I have obligations that I will fulfill. I have looked carefully at the rest of the year, and those pockets of time I do have with some space - they are...
