If you caught Monday's episode, you know we talked about where to START in your home office. But this? This is the part that really makes it all work.

Your filing cabinet is not a paper graveyard. 📁

It should only hold your current year and the previous year — everything else belongs in the archive. Ask yourself: Is this current? Do I legally need this? Does it need to be archived?

Those three questions will change how you manage paper forever.

It's and today we're tackling those samples! 💄

You know the ones — the little perfume bottles, makeup samples, and travel lotions that have been collecting in your drawer, your bathroom cabinet, or that one bag you never unpacked. 😄
Here's your challenge today:

✅ If you use it — find it a proper home
💝 If you don't — pass it along to someone who will!

Samples make wonderful little gifts for a friend, a college student heading back to school, or a local shelter that accepts personal care items. Don't let them just sit there taking up space!

🌿 Taylor's Tip Time — and this week we are talking about photos!

If you are feeling overwhelmed by that box of photos in the closet, here is my approach: Pause. Plan. Proceed.

Here's how to break it down:
📅 Choose your timeframe — don't try to tackle everything at once. Pick an era. I personally started with 1923 through 1960, then worked my way forward decade by decade.

⏰ Be realistic about your time — I blocked out an entire summer, July through September, and focused solely on preserving, organizing, and eliminating duplicates. Know yourself and plan accordingly.

💛 Honor the emotion — photo projects can be emotionally overwhelming. Give yourself grace and the space to feel it.

Small focused sessions beat an all-or-nothing approach every single time. ✨
