Congrats, friend – by completing the "What's your organizing motivation method?" quiz, you've shown that you desire to become better at organizing and decluttering your home. Based on your responses, your most effective organizing motivation method is to create novelty. You find joy in unique experiences and things. When decluttering and organizing don't excite you it is important to pair it with something that does spark that joy for you. Here are 3 tactics that you can try the next time you are feeling unmotivated to start organizing and decluttering that will create novelty for you.1. Attach the task to an enticing rewardDon't want to sort through that pile of stuff? What if doing so meant you got to reward yourself with something you enjoy, guilt free like eating a snack or scrolling TikTok for 5 minutes? 2. Use the same concept on a bigger scaleMaybe little treats for small tasks aren't your jam. Maybe for you it would be more effective to come up with a big reward for completing a big project. Think of a reward that you have been wanting but can't convince yourself you deserve and set a goal that you feel is worthy of that reward. 3. Make organizing a unique experienceDo you have a favorite candle that puts you in a good mood or a new show you can't wait to binge watch? Only allow yourself to light that candle or watch that show while you are organizing. Make it a unique experience that you look forward to.Want to be friends?

Your organization motivation method is... to create urgency

Congrats, friend – by completing the "What's your organizing motivation method?" quiz, you've shown that you desire to become better at organizing and decluttering your home. Based on your responses, your most effective organizing motivation method is to create urgency. You are driven by deadlines and probably wait until the very last minute to get started on any task. Because of this, it is important for you to find ways to make organizing task more urgent in your life. Here are 3 tactics that you can try the next time you are feeling unmotivated to start organizing and decluttering that will create urgency for you.1. Use a timerSometimes we look at a task like decluttering a room and feel like it is too big to tackle. Instead, set a timer for 30 minutes and just do what you can in the time. When the timer goes off you decide if you want to keep going or not. 2. Pair it with your kid's scheduleWhen my girls were little, I used to use naptime for this purpose. I knew that I only had so long before they woke up, so it left me no time to procrastinate. 3. Set up some outside accountabilityDo you ever notice that you are really motivated to tidy when someone is coming to visit? There are lots of ways to create that same urgency. You can arrange a donation pick up/drop off in advance, invite your mother-in-law to come stay the weekend in your guest room that needs organizing or my latest trick, plan your daughter's birthday party in your garage that is overflowing with clutter.

Congrats, friend – by completing the "What's your organizing motivation method?" quiz, you've shown that you desire to become better at organizing and decluttering your home. Based on your responses, your most effective organizing motivation method is to create interest. You are usually competitive and enjoy turning boring tasks into games. You don't like being underestimated in your abilities and love proving your critics wrong. Here are 3 tactics that you can try the next time you are feeling unmotivated to start organizing and decluttering that will create interest for you.1. Find your favorite feel-good playlist and turn it up I am not kidding when I tell you that my family knows that if they hear the Hamilton Soundtrack playing then I am decluttering. Turn on the tunes and make it a sing a long!2. Find ways to make it personalSometimes we are overwhelmed with the thought of letting go of our things. One of the best ways I have found to combat this is to have a particular person or charity in mind that may have a greater need than I do for the items. Do you have a teacher friend, your kid's daycare, a local family who just experienced a house fire that you can keep in mind for your items? 3. Get a buddyDoes the thought of tackling that project seem scary to go at alone? Call up a friend to come keep you company. Most of the time it isn't that we need someone to help us do the task, we just like having someone present with us. Want to be friends?
