Computerbattical: up close and personal
A few months ago I was writing words, soooo many words. My inner dialogue sounded a lot like this: "Oh my gah! Sooo much to do, to get out there, especially now with Covid breathing down my back. Is time speeding up? Sure feels like it. Keep up the pace Nicole, carry...
Goodwill closed? What to do with your donations.
I once worked with a client who had a ton of clothes. He hired me to help him go through it all, from socks to slacks. He’d lost a bunch of weight and felt totally overwhelmed with his wardrobe, now new items and old items, all muddled together. We downsized his...

Downsizing 101: What You Do Before You Start
My family moved around a lot when I was a kid. And I mean, A LOT. I went to thirteen elementary schools and four junior highs. I wish I could say, “Oh, I just got used to it” but no, that’s not what happened. You, I, all humans everywhere, we don’t “get used to”...
Tell me something awesome
I have this habit I do every morning when I'm out on my first walk o' the day with Daisy. I ask myself, "What's something unexpected that happened yesterday?" I don't hurry up and answer it. I take my time. This has been a pretty easy question to answer lately! It...

What happened when I Stuffologized my closet
TRUE CONFESSION. I Stuffologized my closet last week and I’m still, days later, reeling from it. The day after I did it, I dreamt about a pair of jeans that I’d put in the donate bag and woke up super sad about giving them away. It’s really time, but I still felt sad....
