Welcome to August 2015!
Clearing Clutter for Mind, Body & Soul
Happy August, <<First Name>>! Can you believe we are already edging towards FALL? I know...we have another official month of summer, but a trip to Target and Office Depot this week and the oodles of moms  and kiddos picking up school supplies reminded me that Fall is just around the corner.
Speaking of school... the hardest time of the day when my kids were little was trying to get everyone out the door to school. There always seemed to be something to search for - socks, a permission slip, completed homework, a backpack..... and LUNCHES needing to be made.
Those were the years when I fought clutter the hardest and never felt like I'd be organized. It was so stressful! Once I started dealing with my clutter issues, I found ways to make those mornings less painful.
So, this month, I'm dedicating the tips to Getting Out The Door. Whether you have school aged children or a house of adults only, these tips can help make those mornings a heck of a lot less stressful.
For Your Mind - Create a Launch Pad/ Drop Zone
When it comes to managing clutter, I'm sure you've heard the phrase: "Everything in it's place and a place for everything." One of the biggest detriments to getting out the door with more ease is not having a place that everything "lives". That's why you need a LAUNCH Pad / Drop ZONE.
Designate a place for each person in your home to DROP their important things (backpack, purse, briefcase, etc) when they walk in the door. Make it a rule, make it a habit... And as part of your evening routine, make sure everything that's needed in the morning is in that same space.
Yes, that means that books and homework that were pulled out of the backpack need to be put back. And for adults (or teens) make sure your Launch Pad has a place to charge your phone (it doesn't need to be by your bed, anyway). Everything else goes there - keys, purses, etc.
Help younger children out by having a secondary launch pad in their room for their clothes. Before bed, help pick out clothes for the next day and stage them there (yes, along with socks and shoes).
Because no one needs to lose their head rushing around looking for their keys!
For Your Body - Stage Your Lunch
Taking your lunch - whether your a kiddo or adult - is usually healthier (and more budget friendly). But is getting the lunches MADE a challenge?
This month, create two places to stage lunch stuff - one in the fridge and one in the pantry. Load up a small basket in the fridge with cut up veggies in zip lock bags,yogurts, string cheese etc. And in the pantry, another basket (kid reachable) with little bags of nuts, chips, trail mix, etc.
On Sundays, get in the habit of doling out serving sized portions of whatever people like for their lunches - and if you have kids, have them get involved in the staging.
I do this at our house to make the transition from morning to out the door easier. Your body deserves to be fed quality meals, so make sure that ensuring you get a good lunch is easier.
For Your Soul - Your Bathroom Drawer
Looking good and put together sure does make you feel better about yourself. So, don't make it harder on yourself - or any other family member - when it comes to prepping their body to face the world. You shouldn't have to search for deodorant, a hairbrush, sunscreen, toothpaste, hair elastics or any similar items when you're getting ready to face the world.
CLEAN OUT YOUR DRAWER in the bathroom. Trash anything you don't use or has gotten icky and make sure everything you need is in one place. While you're in there, check that you have everything you need.
If you have multiple family members, you can buy those small plastic bins for each person to organize their stuff if there aren't enough drawers to go around.
I hope these little prep tips help you get out the door with a lot more EASE and loads less stress.
If you are needing some help getting clear about things in your world, don't hesitate to reach out (just replay to this email). See you next month with more tips for finding clarity in your life with clearer spaces.

Beginning Today in the 30 Days to Clarity Family of Courses
Sometimes, the thousands of thoughts and cobwebs cluttering up our minds leads us to believe  we just don't know what we want.
Let me help you gently pull away the layers of busyness and too many thoughts so that you can hear the small, still voice of your heart. Join me for 30 Days of Diving Into Your Heart’s Desires.
Clearing Brain Clutter: Discovering Your Heart's Desires is designed to walk you through what you really want for your life. We'll dive into what you want to be, who you desire to be, and what you wish to have. Then, we'll get clear on who you are at your core as you begin to listen to what you're heart's been telling you all along.
Some former participants have called Clearing Brain Clutter: Discovering Your Heart's Desire life coaching in a box - a do-it-yourself experience to gain crystal clarity in 30 short days as we ask the questions you've been ignoring or avoiding. Or maybe those questions you didn't know to ask.
We begin TODAY August 09, 2015. But there's still time to join in.
