Fitting the king sheets in a flannel pillow set might be an effort. In this case, you take the pillow cases wrap in the sheets & fold.

Usually, it is our energy & not time that needs to be managed. Take our current situation; some people have a lot of time on their hands yet are still not productive or content. This is a great article about managing our energy. https://www.fastcompany.com//6-ways-to-boost-your-producti

Some say perspective is everything. I have a link below that may do just that for some. If we could look at this time as an opportunity to either slow down, be mindful of how we handle stressful situations and how we take care of ourselves & others then something good would come out of this challenging time we are facing. It is helpful when we can find a gift. For some the gift might be an opportunity to rest or slow down, for some it may be being mindful of breathing and th...oughts around stressful situations and for others it might be an opportunity to connect with people you haven’t connected with in a while as we find ourselves with free time & also in a time of realizing how precious life is. There are resources out there such as WhatsApp or Skype or Zoom which allow us to stay in contact with people that might be isolated. We can simply pick up the phone & call someone who has been on your mind or might be alone. I understand some people are not comfortable with technology & this is a good time to get creative & finds new ways to connect. This could be a good time to take a look at that project at home you have been wanting to focus on, or that hobby you’re interested but haven't found time for. Being in nature is super good on many levels as you are getting exercise, you are breathing fresh air and you’re connecting with Mother Nature. Of course the organizer in me says what a great time to clean things out from under the bed (hopefully things aren’t stored there), in the closets or the stack of paperwork that’s been waiting to be dealt with. What truly better time for spring cleaning? For people that are used to being social and spending money going out, this is a great opportunity to put that money towards a charity that delivers meals because many of those recipients were lonely before this time & may be more so now or a time save for that vacation you will want in the next coming months. It is certainly important to be aware and it is equally important to not oversaturate ourselves with the news or talking too much about possibilities of doom and gloom. For parents that are struggling for daycare for their children with schools closing, perhaps you can (temporarily) adopt a local teenage neighbor who can help out with child care. We can say that no one is immune from this as much as no one is immune from wanting love & connection. May this be an opportunity for us all to let down barriers, be vulnerable & make healthy choices for ourselves.

Here is great way to let go, jumpstart some good energy and manifest chi for your new year. The Feng Shui challenge suggests For 9 days you give away or purge 27 items. When we let go of the old items which hold their own energy and sometimes stagnant energies, it can create space for new vibrant energy. Happy New Year!

Organizing for the holidays with simplicity: As I mentioned in a previous post, this is not the time of the year to organize the entire house. However, if you are expecting guests during the holidays it is good to be prepared. Hall closet - Have extra toilet paper, soap and toothpaste on hand. Make sure you have an extra set of sheets with a couple extra blankets and a soft & firm pillow for your guest’s needs. You can put the entire sheet set in the pillow case for easy acc...ess. (See a post below for more information). Have enough towels for each guest to have a bath towel & washcloth for every few days. (If they are staying that long) Guest room - Have at least one empty drawer in the dresser and one in the night stand. Nobody wants to open the drawer right before turning in and see your misc. junk. Keep Knick knacks to a minimum. This provides more space for your guests and prevents your personal items from getting misplaced. Provide a few empty hangers in the closet along with an uncluttered closet. In the winter it is nice to provide a portable heater if that room gets cold. People like good lightning in a bedroom with a light near the bed as well. Make sure windows can open and close easily. Plan ahead and keep an outlet free for guests to charge up their gadgets. The kitchen is where people gather. Go through the frig & freezer to make room for meals you are planning ahead and for leftovers. Do a quick scan of canned foods & toss out expired products or foods you never intend to use. Unexpired products can be donated and this is the perfect time of year for that. Have the foods you intend to use for the holidays right up front. Clear the counter tops - You will need all the space you can get. This is a good time to consider starting a donation bag or simply moving items to a closet. You will need to have easy access to food storage containers for leftovers for you & your guests. This is another great time to go through your container drawer(s) and look for mismatched items to toss or collect a few containers you are willing to part with and send home with your guests. You can also ask your guests to bring their own leftovers container. You may think you don’t have time to do this now and you might be surprised at the fun of clearing out, preparing for guests and creating new energy in the home. Whether you are the host or the guest, leave the politics and judgements out of the house. We are overwhelmed with division and opinions. This is a time to appreciate what we have with nothing to prove. Do not get on your scale now or the next several days. You are going to eat what you want and drink what you want so there is no need to torture yourself. Have fun and enjoy your company
