Think about what you really need to get by. If you packed everything important into an RV, you’d realize most things aren’t needed at all. I need my family, time in nature, our dog, travel, learning, and coffee. That covers happiness for me. The same may be true for you—happiness often comes from people and moments, not from piles of stuff. The truth is you can live well with less. Strip back to the basics plus what matters to you, and you’ll do fine. When you look around, you’ll see it’s easy to collect too much—extra toys, tools, books, and kitchen gear fill spaces and crowd out calm. If you’re not sure how to start, pick one small area and clear out what you know you don’t use. Take control of your space and time. What could you let go of today?

Organizing Your Home
Organizing the toy room or the games room could be on your challenge list.
Organizing Your Car
Or what about your car – does your car need a good clean. And I am not talking just drive your car through the car wash. Clean out the inside to get rid of the dust bunnies and the extra stuff.
Organizing Your Cabinets
When was the last time you went through all your books? Or what about your medicine cabinet or spice drawer?
