How are those counters looking after last week? Do they need a quick re-visit? It’s absolutely okay if they do. Getting your home organized is a process, and it takes time. This week we’re organizing the junk or catch-all drawer. I like to browse Reddit TikTok (the world has changed a bit since I first wrote …
