Earlier this summer, Joshua Becker from Becoming Minimalist asked if I'd write a guest post... and since our summer days are pretty low-key around here, I said yes. In my post, I shared one of my favorite decluttering tools -- Space Budgets -- and how they help us get organized and KEEP things clutter-free on a daily basis. If you're short on space, you must try implementing Space Budgets in your home! FROM THE ARCHIVES! Simple Summer Recipe: Tomatoes and corn are everywhere in West Michigan -- which means it's time for my favorite Grilled Corn, Tomato, Avocado salad. Yup, it's as good as it looks and sounds -- and it's pretty easy to throw together (you don't even need to grill the corn if you're short on time). Get my recipe in the archives! One Simple Change: Several years ago, I implemented one very simple change to our daily routine... to my surprise, it made a massive difference in the functionality of our home (specifically our kitchen). The Change: I decided that no matter how full the dishwasher was, we would run it every night after dinner (and then clean it out before we went to bed). This meant, I would always start the day will an empty dishwasher and a kitchen full of clean dishes. This small change puts a positive spin on my mornings, which then puts a positive spin on my entire day. Isn't it crazy how one simple change can create a ripple effect? READ: How One Small Change Simplified My Days Simpler Productivity: This is a very full season of life for our family, and the fall months are always jam-packed with school activities, church functions, and yard work (to name a few). Dave and I (mostly) stay on top of everything, thanks to weekly to-do lists, which are a super simple productivity tool we've utilized for the last several years. If you'd like to make time for the activities you actually want to do instead of drowning in all your must-dos, a weekly to-do list can help! READ: Improve your Efficiency with Weekly To-Do Lists That's all for this week -- if you need me, I'll be standing in line at the local county fair, sweating buckets and holding all the things my kids got tired of holding... while they ride rides, eat gross fair food, and have fun with their friends. School starts next week! 😎 Blessings, ~ Andrea |
