Organization

Since buying a house in January 2017, I’ve become obsessed with all things organization! In this category, you’ll find all things related to keeping your home (or apartment) neat and tidy. When everything has a designated place, it’s easier to keep life and all the stuff we accumulate organized. These organization posts have been some of the most popular posts I’ve ever written! It seems that #TEAMBTD is all about getting organized and I’m so excited to continue creating content in this category for y’all!

How I’m Decluttering My Home In 2024

Hey, y’all – I’m super excited to share a peek at the current decluttering situation in my home. New year, new you, right? Or at least slightly-improved-version of you? But in all seriousness, I’ve found myself in a place where I’ve accumulated so much stuff. It’s causing me to have trouble focusing. Plus, I’m spending *entirely* too much time cleaning/picking up every day. In this profession, it’s way too easy to collect…

How I Organize My Sunglasses

If you’re like me, you’ve probably grown quite the collection of sunglasses over the years. I will typically spend a bit more on my sunglasses so they’ll last me awhile. Because of this, my sunglasses have accumulated and were constantly ending up in the most random of places. When I decided to find a good storage solution, nothing I saw online really worked for what I needed. Then I saw…

How I Organize Our Family Calendar

There are few things I love more than a fresh month and an empty calendar. Even though technology has made it so easy to put all of your appointments, to-dos, and tasks on a calendar (with alerts albeit), I’m a tried and true traditionalist when it comes to calendars, planners, notepads, etc. I shared a bit about how I manage my calendar when it comes to business tasks, but how I…

My Spring Cleaning Faves from Amazon

I think we can all relate to how AMAZING (and cathartic!) it feels to get organized and have a clean home, RIGHT? I mean with all this Marie Kondo-ing going around social media who isn’t jumping into their closets and pantries to get rid of items that don’t ‘spark joy’?! Also, with it being officially March, the spring season is upon us and we know that means the spring cleaning…

5 Things I’m Buying to Get Organized for 2019

I’m really in a season of buying less (which I’ve talked about a few times on BTD like here), and honestly it’s been great. I’ve been focusing on quality over quantity and only buying things that bring me joy or I need for work. It’s kinda messy since part of my job is sharing clothes and things, but I think I’m doing a balanced job of it. I’m honestly almost…

How to Spring Clean Your Entire Life

Since I’ve been feeling pretty naturally motivated lately, I’m taking advantage of that energy while looking at multiple aspects of my life when it comes to tidying things up. Sure, my pantry needs love, as does my closet, but what about the other parts of my life? Like relationships, work, family, etc. There’s definitely more I’ve been itching to clean up or dive into other than physically cleaning

How to Organize Your Fridge & Keep it That Way

I actually didn’t realize this until I went to write this post, but I’ve never had my own fridge. Whether living with my family or roommates, I’ve always been in a situation where fridge space was tight. And since most of us share our fridge with at least one person, we all know the struggle of keeping a fridge organized. Heck! Even living solo probably means a disorganized fridge at…

Tips for Organizing Your Bathroom

Sometimes counter clutter and a messy bathroom can feel like it’s taking over your life, and it’s pretty much the worst. Even when you have ample drawers and cabinets, things don’t always make it back to their original home. I can admit that I’m guilty of this almost every day, even though my bathroom is freaking huge. Like, am I just that lazy or what?! Although I may not have…

Pantry Organization Tips

My pantry is one of the areas in my house that I have yet to address because ugh. In other words, it has been a complete disaster since moving in. I haven’t gotten to it yet because I haven’t had the time to figure it out, but also because I’ve had the interesting challenge of living with 3 other girls that also have groceries and want to keep things separate.

Working From Home Tips for Productivity

I've been working from home for years now, and can't really imagine going into an office because I'm so used to my house now. And though the flexibility is freakin' awesome - and so is not having to commute - working from home has its challenges. Being in your own home, with beds and chores tempting you all day long, it's easy to get off task or in home-mode. Since moving into my new home and having an office, I've done better at making days more productive - and I've really noticed a difference in how much I've gotten done. So if you work from home - and have an office or not - here are a few (hopefully helpful) hacks for improving your "office" days:
