MERRY Rule of Thumb

Here's how to apply the MERRY Rule to holiday invitations:

• Money: Can you afford this event (travel, gifts, dining) without financial stress or guilt afterward? Suggest cheaper alternatives if needed.

• Energy: Do you have the physical and mental energy for this activity, or will it just drain you? Be honest about your capacity.

• Return (Value): Is the time spent worth it? Does it bring joy, connection, or fulfill a priority, or is it just another obligation?

• Recovery: Will you have time to recharge afterward? Don't overschedule yourself to the point of needing days to recover.

• You (Your Needs): Does this event genuinely serve your holiday happiness, or are you just saying yes out of obligation? Prioritize your peace. 

By asking these questions, you can say "no" gracefully to draining events and protect your resources for the ones that truly make the holidays feel merry and bright.

Gift Wrapping + Storage Tips

Tidy Up Th Tips: Gift Wrapping 

Awesome Holiday Wrapping Storage/Use Trick!  https://www.facebook.com/reel/878583154847870/?fs=e&mibextid=wwXIfr&fs=e 

Eco friendly wrapping: comics from newspapers, brown paper recycling and hemp twine, tell the person to guess which hand the gift is in.

What I do for my 2 kids: I hide the bday and cmas gifts throughout the house, unwrapped, take pics on my phone as I go so I can account for all of them, and the kids go on a treasure hunt using hot/cold clues when needed. I'm not one for wrapping. Gift bags with tissue paper and a card is my go to if I have to. 

Bestest Option: choose fun experiences and quality time and take pictures vs material gifts that lead to gift-guilt clutter.

Hands-on, in-person Entire Home Organizing (offices & storage included). Proven systems you can maintain.

Pretty Porches

Tidy Up (Early) Th Tip: Clear your porch of any debris/junk/cobwebs. Change lightbulb if needed. Definitely replace your welcome mat! (Buy a pretty one, that doesn't shed, dries quickly, works well for wet/dirty/muddy shoes.) A front door welcomes you home EVERY day. Prioritize making it pretty.

Wash your sink by hand whenever you wash your hands

Tidy Up Th Tip: Whenever I wash my hands, I also quickly clean my sink as needed by hand. Clean sink--clean hands.

Tidy Up Th Tip!

Tidy Up Th Tip: I race my microwave. See what quick, simple kitchen clean ups you can do before your food beeps. Load/unload some dishes, wipe the counter, put away the salt n pepper n oil, refill the napkin tray. I do it when boiling water, too.

Race a 20 Min Timer to Purge Phone Storage!

Tidy Up Th Tip: Set Timer for 20 mins. Purge, purge, purge from your phone. Categories: Voicemails. Text threads. Contacts. Apps. Screenshots. Subscriptions. Delete your call log. Set a timer daily or weekly or whenever you're waiting somewhere. Just do one category at a time and race the clock. Reward yourself. Your phone will appreciate the extra storage space with less lag time, and you'll enjoy the improved battery life!

Turning a spare room, garage, ADU, or in-law unit into income this season?

Rental / ADU / Airbnb Transformation

I can help.

I set up rental-ready spaces with systems that tenants, guests, and cleaners can actually maintain. Durable, intuitive flow prevents clutter, loss, damage, and overwhelm — while boosting guest reviews and owner peace of mind.

Rental-Ready Setup Includes:

• Guest flow space layout design

• Locked owner storage to protect valuables

• Linen rotation systems

• Cleaning reset station

• Supply & restock zones

• Durable, wipe-clean storage

• Pantry + utility zoning

• Multi-use furniture placement

• Minimalist, damage-preventing layouts

• Guest welcome essentials

• Photograph-worthy simplicity

Perfect for:

• Airbnb / VRBO Hosts

• Long-term tenant rooms

• ADUs & garage conversions

• In-law units (holiday season!)

• Spare rooms you’re ready to monetize

• Adult children returning home

• Multi-generational living

Why It Matters:

When systems are clear, you get:

✔ fewer lost items

✔ less damage

✔ better reviews

✔ faster turnovers

✔ happier guests

✔ less owner stress

Everything is hands-on and fully personalized to how YOU want the space to function.

“Clear the Clutter for GOOD!”

Mantra: "Will my Future Self Thank Me for this?"

"Will my Future Self Thank Me for this?" I heard this golden nugget years ago, and love to follow it in my day-to-day life, and pass it on to clients. This lil push helps you motivate yourself. Let me give you some examples:

Should I unpack the car fully from the grocery run or leave the heavy items for another day? Do it now! Your future self won't have room in the car when you need it, and your future self won't have the items in the kitchen when you need them. So, you talk yourself into helping your future self, and bring in all the groceries every run upon coming home.

Should I unpack my luggage as soon as I come home from my trip? Yes, my future self will have clean, unpacked clothes if I start the laundry now, and if I put away my clothes and hygiene stuff now, I won't have to stress for the next month getting ready in the mornings with everything scattered between half-ass unpacked. This is gonna save me a lot of time, energy, stress if I do it now. This will help my Future Self.

Should I flush the toilet as I go, or should I put in the next 5 mins trying to do damage control with opening the window, spraying the room, using good-smelling soap while washing my hands, running the fan, flushing 2 more times, lighting a match? What if I just flush as I go and light a match instead? Not just your future self will thank you for this one!

It can be simple, little things. But start the mantra: "Will my Future Self Thank Me for this?" And then ACTUALLY THANK your past self! Seriously! I legit thank my past self when I go to load my car with the camping trip gear and no bulky items are in the trunk. I thank my past self for giving myself 15 mins to laze in bed before my REAL alarm goes off. I thank my past self when I make my daughter scoop the cat litter instead of playing on her ipad so the house doesn't stink. Thank yourself for Adulting!

Have an Organized Day!

Ivan at JunkIt (Text: 510-648-7890) has been working with my clients for almost 15 years. He charges by how much you fill up his big hauling truck, professional hauling size, not a pick up truck. You get a discount for 2nd truckload. He takes donations, recycling, trash, landscaping, appliances, mattresses, etc.He cannot take Hazardous Waste. 

Hazardous Waste: Each County has a Hazardous Waste Facility with set days/times for  in-person drop off. 

Batteries, light bulbs: Put in ziplock bag on top of your trash can for regular trash day pick up. 

Check PaintCare.org for paint recycling and drop off locations throughout California.

*************************************************

Put out free items ($50 or less resale value, big/baulky items) on the curb that are reusable/good condition. Take to thrift store what isn't taken after 1-2 days.

Additionally, you can post on OfferUp, Next Door, Facebook Buy Nothing Groups, FB Marketplace to attract local pickups so you don’t pay for hauling and your neighbors benefit directly.
