I’m so excited to announce a FREE Micro-Minimizing Challenge that I’m hosting live on Instagram for the month of March! Micro-minimizing means I’m focusing in on a small do-able category to minimize for each day of the month. For example, I may talk about magazines, towels, pet supplies, household cleaners. It’ll be a daily surprise…
Contact List
Digital storage is a place where we can store a lot of information and then forget that we have it. Once in a while, it’s worth the time to go through your files and delete what’s obsolete. Today, we’re taking a micro-focus on our contact list and/or address book. Your address book may still be…
Subscriptions
We subscribe monthly to so many things these days – TV streaming, music streaming, premium content for podcasts and newsletters. Each item individually may seem like only a few dollars per month, but what is easy to lose track of is how many subscriptions we have. Do we even still use some of the things…
Video Games & Consoles
It’s pretty amazing how quickly new and improved gaming consoles come out on the market. We had our share of older and newer models around and recently we selected our older models for elimination. We don’t really play them any more, and the one game my husband wanted to keep from an older system he…
Entrance-way Shoes
Shoes at the entrance is not an area where I set the best example. I don’t have a lot of shoes, but what I have I wear and regularly, so mine tend to accumulate at the entrance. And I’d say the same for my husband, so this is an area of focus for me. The…
Large Kitchen Utensils
I never thought I’d have a favourite flipper or spatula or wooden spoon. When I minimized my kitchen the first time, I thought, that the question in this room would be “Does this serve a purpose?” I didn’t think there was room for “Do I love this?” It turns out I was wrong! I clearly…
Eyeglasses
A super easy one for you today. Do you have old reading glasses, or maybe got a new prescription and still have your old glasses lying around? Not sure what to do with them? (If you prefer video, scroll to the bottom of this post.) Today’s challenge is to collect all of your unused eyewear…
Kids’ Artwork
Here’s a tough one for so many parents — your kids’ artwork. You want to keep it ALL because it shows growth and creativity and best of all they GIFTED it to you! But then one day you realize it’s every where and there’s so much of it, so you get folders or a bin…
Car Trunk
Have you ever left the grocery store with a cart of groceries, arrived at your car, opened the trunk, and there’s a bunch of stuff in there that you forgot to take out and now the frustration hits of having to figure out how to get your groceries in, or they get relegated to the…
Under the Bed
What’s hiding under your bed? If we can’t list off what’s under there, then we don’t need what’s under there. Just a thought. (If you prefer to watch video, scroll to the bottom of this post.) Today’s challenge is to pull out everything from under your bed. Have your keep, donate, and garbage piles ready….
Herbs & Spices
I finished some cinnamon recently, ordered fresh, and learned just how much more potent spices can be when they are fresh. Wow! I hadn’t realized how much I had increased the quantity of cinnamon I added to my smoothie over time. And that first smoothie with the fresh cinnamon was pretty much undrinkable as it…
