How to Make Room for What You Love

Your home should be your sanctuary, your safe haven in this crazy world. It should be inspired by what you love, the memories you’ve made, and the people you cherish. The things we choose to bring into our home are a reflection of who we are and the life we live.

Somehow on our quest to make the perfect home, things multiply and the chaos of living can overwhelm and overshadow the very sense of sanctuary we want to create. We begin wasting precious hours of our life trying to wrangle unwieldy hanger from our overstuffed closets and replacing lost tools because we can no longer find what we need among the miscellaneous piles. We soon become discontented with what we have and the place we live no longer feels like home.

Here are the ways that we can start with a clean slate and make room for what really matters in our lives. By decluttering, creating space for what is really important, and constructing order you will have a home that exemplifies what you love.

Be Focused

We all have only 24 hours in our day. Unfortunately, there is nothing we can do to change this. How are we supposed to declutter our homes when we already have such busy lives? The secret to success is learning how to harvest your energy and focus it on the tasks at hand. The ways to do this are by staying motivated, creating SMART goals, and most importantly, stop multi-focusing. By giving your energy away to too many tasks at once, you are selling yourself short. When you find yourself feeling fatigued or focused on too many things, remember this: by staying focused you will have more free time for the things you truly love. You will also feel less frazzled day to day, be more organized and prepared, and reach more of your personal and home goals.
