|
Hello Reader, If you’ve ever tried to fold an IKEA FRAKTA bag, you know—it’s not exactly intuitive. Those big blue bags are perfect for hauling dorm essentials on move-in day, (and lots of other things) but the rest of the time they can take up way too much space. This week’s video shows you the easiest way to fold and store your FRAKTA bags so they stay tucked away until you need them again for move-out in the spring. No bulky pile in the corner, no wrestling with straps—just a quick, tidy fold you’ll wish you knew sooner. 🎥 Watch here: Subscribe to my channel so you never miss a video. It’s the easiest way to keep getting practical, clutter-busting ideas delivered right to you. Have a great weekend! Amy Own less. Live more. |

Last week, after months in hospice care, my father-in-law passed away. I wrote a tribute to him here if you'd like to...
Hey Reader, One of the things I remind my clients often is this: When you bring down the volume in a space, it has a way of organizing itself. What’s left is the stuff you want, need, and use. That’s when creating systems gets easy—because you’re not organizing clutter. You’re creating clarity and sanity. And the habits you create from there? That’s what makes it stick. I just shared a new video all about this idea and how you can start making it work in your own home. You can watch it here:...
