Adopting a Minimalistic Lifestyle
"After 15 years as a home organizing expert, my house was in great shape, but my life and calendar felt cluttered and overstuffed," Gill tells Parade. "Somehow, I’d managed to meticulously edit every drawer and closet while neglecting to apply the same clarity of purpose to my schedule, priorities, and social plans. Everywhere I turned—friends, clients, colleagues—people were telling me the same thing: too much stuff, too many commitments, too little time. It wasn’t just me; we were all stuck in this endless loop of too much."Suddenly, it clicked for Gill—she had the tools and experience to solve this.

One significant piece of intentionally creating a life you love? Looking out for signs that you're starting to feel anxious or overloaded, and then deliberately sitting down with your thoughts to help get yourself "unstuck."According to Gill, this is the most important question to ask when you're feeling overwhelmed: "Do I need to adjust volume, create a new system, or shift my habits?"

If it’s a volume issue: "Start saying no to new commitments, delegate tasks, or start letting go of clutter or excess."If it’s a systems issue: "Look for tools or processes to simplify. For example, a shared digital calendar can streamline family scheduling, or a meal prep routine can reduce weeknight chaos."If it’s a habit issue: "Choose one habit to change, and start very small. Use habit-tracking apps or set reminders to stay consistent."
According to Gill, "The key is to focus on one area at a time so you can be consistent instead of trying to tackle everything at once."This is also a great time to utilize what she calls "15-minute wins."Related: 'I've Been Into Self-Improvement for Over 15 Years and This Is the #1 Thing That's Transformed My Growth Journey the Most'
