Beautifully Organized in 52 Weeks: A Home Organization Card Deck
Your space can make it easier, or harder, to focus. Here’s my tried-and-true method for keeping my home organized and clutter-free without turning it into an overwhelming project.
Using it since February 2025
The System
Planning tools
Paper and digital. The tools that hold the week together.
Planner
Day Designer Planner
I now use a digital planning system that I developed in Google Workspace (more on that later), but for those out there who love paper planners. My favorite is the weekly planner from Day Designer. There are also some great FREE digital downloads here.

App & software
Google Workspace
**Google Workspace** — Business Starter or Business Standard
New customers get **10% off the first year, per user**, on Starter or Standard. Message me for a code — Google issues them individually and they can’t be posted publicly. One catch worth knowing before you start: the code has to go in at signup, or under Billing in your Admin console
**before the 14-day trial ends**. Miss that window, and it can’t be applied afterward.

Plaud
A recorder about the size of a credit card. One press, and a meeting, a call, or a drive-time ramble comes back as a clean transcript and a summary with the action items already pulled out.

The Question
Rest & reflection
Journals, wind-down rituals, and the things that help me slow down long enough to think.
Goodnight
Slip Silk Sleep Mask
Sleep is a top priority. Blocks the light. Doesn’t get tangled in my hair. Soft and smooth on your face. I have one in my travel bag and one in my nightstand drawer. They last forever, even after washing.
