Your Quick Guide to a Mid-Year Reset
Summer is winding down, and if your home is showing signs of the “mid-year mess,” you’re not alone. Between travel, kids being home, unpredictable routines, and a growing list of “I’ll get to it later” tasks… it’s easy to feel overwhelmed by clutter and chaos. But here’s the good news: you don’t have to wait until the New Year to reclaim your space.
Let’s hit reset together! Here’s how to refresh your home mid-year, just in time for the new school year! ✨
1. Start With One Space
Don’t try to tackle everything at once. Start by choosing one single area that’s been on your to-do list for some time. Maybe it’s your pantry, your entryway, or that one overstuffed closet and start small.
Ask yourself: What’s one space that would make daily life easier if it were organized?
2. Do a Quick Edit
Set a timer for 30 minutes and listen to our custom meditation while you edit the space. Make piles for what can be donated, what needs to be discarded and anything that does not have a purpose in the particular space.
Ask yourself: Will I realistically use this in the next 6 months? Is it worth the space it’s taking up?
3. Rebuild with Purpose
After clearing out the space, group like-items together and give them clear and purposeful homes. Use bins, baskets, or drawer inserts to keep categories contained. Label the different bins and spaces so your system is easy to maintain in your daily routine.
4. Don’t Do It Alone
Taking on large tasks alone can often feel overwhelming. That’s where our team of professional organizers can come in to assist.
