Amy Brooks, creator and owner of Catholics Online and the Prayer, Wine, Chocolate Retreat program joins us again today as we declutter the bedroom shared by her twins.

When we began our Zoom session together, Amy said she was tired and not really feeling excited about our session. That's very real and that's where I am there to help. I got her started and by the time we finished our one hour session, she was so excited to drop off her donation bag before the kids got home from school. Motivation is not going to strike, just get started and it will show up in its' own time.

As of the recording of this episode, Amy had one or two spots still available for the Philadelphia Prayer, Wine, Chocolate Retreat. Here is a link to her website to sign up.

Opening Bible verse: 1 Corinthians 3:10-11

Your basement is some valuable real estate in your home. Is it a dumping ground or is it usable, active space adding value to your home and life?

On today's podcast episode I walk you through 6 easy steps to organize your unfinished basement.

1. Mark off and clear pathways to mechanical areas and egress window(s). You can use painters tape to clearly define the walkways.

2. Ask yourself: What do I want to keep down in the basement? Make a list of broad categories.

3. Assign areas to each category.

4. Do a quick sort of items. Is there obvious trash or donate items? If you are keeping an item, quickly place it in the area in which it will live.

5. Once everything has been placed in its' permanent area, keep only the items you use at least once per year.

6. How will you store the items in this area? Begin organizing on shelves, in bins, etc. You can keep anything you want, it just has to fit comfortably on the shelf or home that you've assigned it.
