Lauren is here again to share more of her juicy wisdom on the 5S method. Today, we’ll be focusing on standardization and organization.
It’s deeper than just simply organizing. It’s about being thoughtful and mindful of the things we value (or don’t value). It’s about being super aware of how we navigate our spaces. It’s about communication, time efficiency, and empowerment.
Lauren walks us through five parts of this method, which is originally a Japanese concept (was super fun for me because I speak Japanese!) Yes my lovelies. We broke out into a mini Japanese lesson.
Thank you Lauren for coming on and combining two of my favorite things: decluttering and Japanese. Listen to this episode to learn more about how to practice this method and what its benefits are.
