Happy Sunday!

Some may see Sunday as a day of rest, but I like to use my Sunday as a day to prepare for the week ahead!

Fun story: my dog peed on my bed 😒. Right in the middle of it. Through the blankets and sheets, right down to the mattress protector…. The *day after* I washed the sheets and made the bed.

I was a little pi**ed and a lot resistant to having to make my bed two days in a row. So I threw an old set of sheets on and pulled out comforter out of our trailer. Good enough for a night. I washed and made the bed with our new sheets a few days later.

But that pesky duvet cover… it has sat next to my bedside since Sept 2. Taking up space. Making me annoyed.

And once it was there, other things crept into the picture… pre-donation pile on my dresser, clothes to put away for the season, even trash. All “open loops” as I like to call them.

When I self-checked what was frustrating me and holding me back from focus in other areas, my mind kept ruminating on this area.

I just don’t have the brain space available for that! And I knew no one would do it for me…

So I did the thing. I made the bed. I decuttered every drawer (including my jewelry!). I put away 2 loads of laundry. I vacuumed the hell out of the visible carpet (🤢).

And NOW my brain can rest when I am here, the most restful place in my house.

Time started: 7:58am
Time finished: 9:10am
Time elapsed: 1 hour 12 minutes

Time well spent.

What’s holding you back? What’s keeping you from closing the loop to gain a little bit of your brain back?

After 2+ years of regularly going to the gym, I’ve been struggling for a few months to get my head in the game.

It’s beyond frustrating, but I keep trying.

Sometimes, the best thing you can do for yourself is to just show up.

Sometimes that’s all the win you need.

Tonight is my first rehearsal as President of my choir, the Blackhawk Chorus.

I find that I stress-pack when I want to be totally prepared. That’s how I ended up with 3 pairs of glasses. (And 37 pens). It’s those “just in case” moments.

What do you tend to grab, JIC?

My husband and I paid off almost $80,000 in consumer debt in two years on one income. That was 15 years ago and we have stayed debt-free, not in small part two the most excellent of budgeting tools, YNAB. I randomly decided to check the connection again this morning, and it worked! Just goes to show you, just because things have been one way for a long time, doesn’t mean that’s how they always need to be. You have to be willing to wait.

I’m hosting a free office hours tomorrow from 8 AM to 11 AM on Zoom. Comment below if you want an invitation! You can ask me anything!

Do you buy new clothes before you travel? If yes, what is the motivation behind it?

Because I like to have the ability to change my mind, I often pack with a "palette" in mind. If I put together existing palette-coordinated outfits and need to supplement, I find travel is a good motivator. I mean, I'm already spending more money than usual on the travel, so in my mind, it's easier to lump the purchase in with "travel expenses". at it's finest. (also, I hate the term . Not sure why I used it.)

Love to hear your thoughts on the subject of buying new clothes for travel. (Or if that's what you want to share).

I’m testing a new Virtual Organizing Pilot Program and wanted to see if you’d be interested.

The format is simple:
- 40-minute Zoom strategy call
- Time for you to work independently
- 10-minute follow-up call later the same day

It’s designed to help you make progress on organizing projects while still having guidance, structure, and accountability.

Pilot pricing is $100 per session.

If you're curious, schedule a Potential Client Call. It's free and zero obligation to buy.

Thank you for your interest in Katie Can Help’s organizing services. Please fill out the short contact form below and someone will be in touch to schedule your consultation or session!

Like the ADHD brain doesn’t have enough to try to manage, but now the internet says I have to have perfectly folded clothes in my drawers that LITERALLY no one except me sees?? Internet, I disagree.

For nearly my entire life, I have struggled with washing my face. I was an Oil of Olay SPF girl for the basic coverage. Face washing felt time consuming and messy (all that water everywhere!!). I tried washing in the shower, simple face wipes, expensive stuff, cheap stuff… nothing stuck.

I started experimenting with things that didn’t need access to a sink, because the get-ready area of the gym doesn’t have one. I didn’t want to have to take a billion products to the gym, either. I wanted my essentials. It took TWO YEARS of playing around with different solutions to come up with this one: a clear bag with travel toiletries I can refill.

This bag has everything I use every day (plus a toothbrush and toothpaste in a protective outside patch). It easily moves from my gym bag to my dresser, where I am able to do my face routine without fighting with my husband for space in our single-sink bathroom. It even can get popped into a travel bag without having to think about if I have everything I need.

TWO YEARS. Finding the right thing takes time. Be curious. Keep trying. Don’t be afraid to experiment.

(You also do t have to spend a bunch of money to try an organizing strategy. I just as easily could have tried a ziplock bag. I would have included the size of the bag into my assessment of the system.
