Every expert was once a beginner

"Every expert was once a beginner"


This phrase applies to everything we do. We don’t have to have a career to call ourselves an expert, it can literally be anything. After I started the decluttering journey, I started calling myself “professional life liver”, because I began to live everyday with more intention and consciousness, with the things and words I make choices with. 


Although my home is far from the studio images of organized homes, my mindset is always to tidy as much as possible, complete pending tasks (work, chores, kids stuff, etc) and not leave things for later. 


After many trials and errors, I noticed that these are the storages/organizers easiest to work with. Mesh and clear types allow me to see what’s inside without opening, and collapsible type can be stored away if not in use.

Now is always the best time to do anything and everything. 


I will admit, though that wanting to tidy up might have become a little bit of OCD, because I l really enjoy the small achievements of having small areas cleaned, taking care of tasks before my brain starts to complain, and do something beneficial for my family and myself with the time I was able to free up. Every bit counts.


Below is one of my storage areas I worked on, by changing from different organizers to something more unified, for a somewhat better appearance. I also got rid of things that were just sitting there for ages, with no particular purposes.


If you look around your home, you'll also find areas or things you can work on, that's been dwelling since forever, especially small knickknacks. 


Have fun, keep working, and we'll all become experts where we reside ;)

Downsizing shoes

They're our beloved items and at the same time very troubling ones too.  Shoes placement can easily get out of control, especially for those of us who love to collect or have multiple pairs for different occasions.  Not only do we have our own shoes, if we live with others, then that becomes the number of shoes x number of people.  We now face the issue of how to keep them all organized.  Here are some ways to store them:  Basic shoes organizer Hall tree with shoe storage Shoe cabinets If organizing doesn't work, the next thing is naturally, downsize. The way I downsized my shoes was the same way as I practiced with my long sleeve shirts and coats. If there were multiple pairs of the same style/purpose, then the pairs worn the least, are the first ones to be eliminated.  Depending how much space you have, you can eliminate more or less, so everything fits in your storage.  Now matter how much we may love particular items, it doesn't serve us any better...
