Hey friend — the holiday season is almost here! And before the pace picks up, I want to pause with you and look at the heart of how we enter it.

Because the season can be full of joy… or full of overwhelm. And a lot of that comes down to how we prepare our space, our schedule, and our spirit before the celebrations begin.

So I want to ask you something:

What would it mean if this year didn’t feel rushed? If your home felt peaceful to walk into… If your days had breathing room… If joy didn’t feel like something you had to chase — but something that was already present?

This episode is the first in a gentle, practical mini-series to help you create margin for the season ahead — not by doing more, but by clearing space to receive the joy that’s already yours in Christ.

This is about preparing the atmosphere — inside your home and inside your heart.

Hey sisters, Before you build another routine or schedule, it’s time to pause and look closely at where your time is really going.

In the short term, this process helps you understand your time and tasks—what’s working, what’s draining you, and what can shift. But the long-term goal is to make space for what truly matters: the time, clarity, and margin to finally declutter and organize your home with intention.

💡 A faith-filled reminder that reflection comes before rebuilding.

You want to declutter and organize your home and your life but your days feel rushed, your schedule overstuffed, and you’re constantly saying “I don’t have time". It’s time to pause and take inventory.

This week, I am inviting you to slow down and redeem your time — not by doing more, but by examining how you’re spending the hours God has already given you. Building on last week’s Mind Mapping exercise, you’ll learn how to conduct a Faith-Based Time Audit that reveals hidden time drains, clarifies your true priorities, and helps you realign your schedule with your purpose.

This isn’t hustle. This is holy stewardship — a practical and prayerful approach to managing your minutes so your days reflect what truly matters.

• How to complete a simple Time Audit that uncovers where your day is really going.

• How to categorize your activities.

• The faith-centered filter question that brings instant clarity.

• How to prayerfully decide what to delegate, simplify, or surrender - although more on that next week.
