Do you have a house full of memories but more messes? Do you find that it’s hard to keep your house cleaned out but desire to have organization and peace within the chaos? In today’s episode, Quinn teaches listeners how to declutter and restore order to your space based on the work of Dana K White.

In the episode, Quinn teaches listeners:

1. One thing to say to yourself when feelings sentimental: I’m not rejecting the item, I’m just saying I don’t
have room for it.
2. Two questions to ask yourself when organizing
3. What containers are meant for

Mind Renewal Tip:
Containers are meant to contain and serve as a limit – not as a place to stuff. Every space is a container that sets a limit.

Scripture Renewal Tip:

"There is a time to keep, and a time to cast away". This verse suggests that it's okay to get rid of things that are no longer useful. Ecclesiastes 3:6

"Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal". This verse suggests that material wealth is temporary and can be lost, while heavenly treasures are eternal Matthew 6:19
