Mindful Moment with Mike: Organizing Your Home

TIME AT HOME THESE DAYS?YOU'RE PROBABLY BUSY WITHTHE KIDS AND THE JOB.

BUT 2WORKS FOR YOU'S MIKE BROOKSFOUND OUT THERE'S A WAY TOCARVE SOME TIME TO GET YOURHOME ORGANIZED.

HERE'STODAY'S MINDFUL MOMENT WITHMIKE.YOU'VE PROBABLY HEARD ABOUTMARIE KONDO... OR"KONMARIE"... SHE'S AJAPANESE ORGANIZINGCONSULTANT..

AND HER GOAL ISTO HELP MORE PEOPLE LIVE ALIFE THAT "SPARKS JOY" WELLI FOUND A CERTIFIED MASTER"KONMARI" HOME ORGANIZER...TO GET SOME TIPS ON WHAT WECAN DO AT HOME RIGHT NOW...TO GET ORGANIZED.

AND SURROUNDINGOURSELVES ONLY WITH THINGSTHAT MAKE OUR LIVES BETTER.We have a tendency to holdon to stuff not because welove it, but either it hasalways just been there orwe're not sure what to dowith it... it's kind of adefault mode.and we accumulate thingsover time.These things don'tnecessarily improve ourquality of live at all so byjust taking a moment to askourselves "what is thisdoing for me" it's allowingyou to make a choice... andmake a change .So a way you can do this toapply this method in a smallway, is to start withsomething like your junkdrawer.
