Have you heard of the
Zeigarnik Effect?
It's a psychological phenomenon about how we remember unfinished or interrupted tasks better than completed ones.
The things we haven't finished can take up A LOT of mental space.
Does this sound familiar?
By “closing the loops” on our unfinished tasks we can reduce our mental clutter and feel a sense of relief and accomplishment.
The October Home Lab includes
4 co-working sessions: Bring your home projects and let's get them done!
1 Q+A session with Laura Fenton, author and home expert of “Living Small”
A BONUS “Close the Loop” activity to guide you all month long
10 hours of real-time guidance, structure, and personalized support
Everything recorded: Watch (or rewatch) on your schedule
WhatsApp group: Opt in to stay connected, check in, and share updates throughout the month
A supportive community: Accountability, momentum and a group that helps you stay on track

THE HOME LAB EXPERIENCE
KIki, west virginia
This was just what I needed to kick off a New Year! It's hard to stick to resolutions, and the accountability, motivation, and camaraderie of all the sessions really kept me on track. The feedback that the group offered each other was not only helpful, but also a heartening reminder that none of us are alone in the long journey of organization. Throughout it all, Tinka offered thoughtful wisdom and good humor.
10/10 would recommend!
DIANE, CALIFORNIA
Instead of continuing to carry the shame that has been a key part of what is blocking me from taking action, I felt connected, broke through the self-talk that I am a hopeless case, and realized that this is work I can do out of love for myself.
That emotional work paired with the clear, actionable steps laid out by you, Tinka, was a powerful combo that has finally helped move me forward to de-clutter my home and my life.
TARA, QUEBEC
My goal was fine-tuning my physical space but I left with a profound appreciation for my own journey. I was so moved by everyones' stories and Tinka’s sensitivity to the complex emotions hiding in the clutter of our lives. I finished the program with a better sense of discernment about when to declutter and when to embrace the messiness of my life.
Thank you from the bottom of my beautifully cluttered heart!
