🌿 When rest becomes the reset
Nº 35 – January 30, 2026 Hi Reader, Welcome to this week’s edition of The Neat Reset — a gentle pause in your week to tidy your space, quiet your mind, and start fresh. This reset is arriving a couple of days later than usual. I’ve been home with the flu, moving slowly, resting more than I like, and learning — again — that some weeks ask us to receive care instead of giving it. It wasn’t planned, or welcomed at first, but it was necessary. Stillness has a way of revealing how much our...

🩵When Nothing Goes Right
Read on the web ↗ When Nothing Goes Right By Flavia Andrews This week has been one of those weeks where everything seems to stack up at once. My husband came down with a flu-like cold that completely wiped him out, my son was injured during MMA class, and I can feel the same cold starting to creep in on me. To top it off, my Mac was completely dead this morning. No warning, no slow decline—just gone. The Urge to Push Through On days like this, it’s tempting to try to push through anyway. To...
🌿 Why Organized Spaces Still Need Revisiting
Nº 34 – January 20, 2026 Hi Reader, Welcome to this week’s edition of The Neat Reset — a gentle pause in your week to tidy your space, quiet your mind, and start fresh. Lately, I’ve been thinking about how often I assume an organized space is “done.” As if once it’s sorted, put away, and labeled it should stay that way forever. But life doesn’t work like that, and neither do our homes. Lifestyles change. Seasons shift. Routines evolve. And even the most thoughtfully organized spaces need...

🩵 A Home, Mind, and Body Reset
Read on the web ↗ A Home, Mind, and Body Reset By Flavia Andrews This week’s Quiet Reset isn’t about adding anything new. It’s about noticing what shifted when I began removing a few things—slowly, intentionally, without making a spectacle of it. Over the past year, I’ve made a handful of changes that have quietly improved both my health and my productivity. None of them were dramatic. None of them required willpower marathons or complete overhauls. They simply asked for attention—and...
🌿 Store Things Where You Use Them
Nº 33 – Janary 13, 2025 Hi Reader, Welcome to this week’s edition of The Neat Reset — a gentle pause in your week to tidy your space, quiet your mind, and start fresh. One of the most overlooked causes of clutter isn’t how much we own—it’s where we keep it. When items live far from where they’re actually used, friction builds. Small tasks feel heavier. Things pile up. And suddenly, the home feels harder to manage than it needs to be. This week’s reset is about restoring flow by rethinking...

🩵 When Storage Becomes a Decision
Read on the web ↗ When Storage Becomes a Decision By Flavia Andrews In our home, Christmas decor stays up until after Epiphany on January 6th—so forgive me if I’m still talking about Christmas while it may already feel like a thing of the past for you. When I began putting away the Christmas decorations this past week, I noticed something quietly unsettling. Not the mess.Not the boxes.But the feeling that I was once again shuffling things—making room for one season by displacing another. It...
🌿 This Year, I’m Not Doing These Things
Nº 32 – January 6, 2026 Hi Reader, Happy New Year! Welcome to this week’s edition of The Neat Reset — a gentle pause in your week to tidy your space, quiet your mind, and start fresh. January often arrives loud—with goals, plans, trackers, and a long list of things we’re told we should be doing. But sometimes the most meaningful reset begins by choosing what we’re not going to carry forward. This week’s reset is about subtraction. About clearing pressure before adding intention. About making...

⚓️ What I’m NOT Doing This Year
Read on the web ↗ 5 Things I Won't Be Doing This Year By Flavia Andrews The beginning of a new year usually arrives carrying a long list of expectations. New goals. New habits. New systems. A better version of ourselves—ideally by February. And while I love reflection and intention, I’ve learned something about myself over the years: piling on more doesn’t bring clarity. It brings pressure. Noise. A quiet sense of falling behind before the year has even begun. So this year, I’m flipping the...
🌿 A Gentle Goodbye to 2025
Nº 31 – December 30, 2025 HAPPY NEW YEAR! Hi Reader, Welcome to this week’s edition of The Neat Reset — a gentle pause in your week to tidy your space, quiet your mind, and start fresh. As this year comes to a close, I’ve found myself reflecting on just how often we live in survival mode — rushing from one task to the next, one role to another, always thinking about what’s coming after this moment. Even good things can start to feel heavy when we’re constantly moving through them instead of...

🩵 Slow Wins The Race
Read on the web ↗ Slow Wins The Race By Flavia Andrews As this year draws to a close, I’ve found myself returning to one simple truth— slow wins the race. Not as a cliché, but as a lived lesson. A Year of Slowing Down For a long time, I didn’t realize how deeply I was operating in survival mode. Moving quickly. Reacting. Carrying the quiet pressure of needing to keep up—with tasks, ideas, expectations, even versions of myself that no longer fit. Somewhere along the way, I began to notice the...
