Good one Sarah 👍 I like clear surfaces for sure. I get easily overwhelmed by visual stimulation so this appeals to me 😊 I see this more when I go to other people's houses and wonder why I'm tense and realised part of it is because of the amount of stuff they have on surfaces, furniture and walls. I have removed surfaces in my space to compliment my need for simple 🙌
Thanks Sarah! Instead of just watching, I got up and cleared the peninsula in my kitchen! Now the dishwasher is running with lots of empty containers that had food in them for work and more. Bags are back in the foyer area I created during your course. That makes them easy to put back in the car because they are hanging beside my keys! I recently heard of someone "hushing a room" by removing everything and only bringing back what you need or love. You explained this years ago and I just needed the reminder. ♥
This is an important one but a battle I can't win because my partner has ADHD and needs to have all his important items out in the open. I've tried clearing out a top drawer in the kitchen right below his spot on the counter where he drops everything and a tray for a "clutter trap" of sorts but Surrender seems to be the only viable option. He needs a section of counter space for his command center and that's just a reality and compromise I have to accept.
maybe my mind works differently but I need to have my decor items on my surfaces because if it's a clean clear surface that's when clutter tends to hang around because it's available space to put it. whilst with decor I try my best to clear the clutter so that it looks exactly how I want it

I can definitely relate to that feeling! Thank you, Sandra!

Now that is some excellent taking action, Lynne! I'm so glad to hear this!
Thank you Sarah ❤️ Nothing like clean and decluttered surfaces.
That's the truth! :)
Hi Sarah!
I love your videos. They always inspire.
I wish you a lovely summer! / Stina
Thank you so much, Stina! I hope you have a lovely summer too!
Much needed topic❤ Will try the Quick Start Method. Bag will be donated with the things I haven’t used.
I'm so glad to hear that!

I'm glad you guys have found a good compromise! Ironically, the next video from the course is about command centers.

I'm glad you found a method that works for you!
Windowsills and wall ledges are flat surfaces too!
That is very true!

Sorry, this is all too much text and too much information ....not easy enough, but only my opinion. Nevertheless - you seem to be a very nice peron 🙂
