June is a time for sunshine, fresh starts, and celebrating the people who keep us grounded—our best friends! In honor of Best Friends Day (June 8th), why not team up to bring more order and joy into each other’s lives? As I shared on a recent solo episode of the Got Clutter? Get Organized! Podcast, organizing doesn’t have to be a solo journey. With the support of a trusted friend, it can be fun, motivating, and even therapeutic.
Here are 5 fun and functional ways to stay organized with your best friend:
1. Plan a Best Friend Declutter Day
Pick a weekend to declutter together—your place in the morning, theirs in the afternoon. Make it a celebration with snacks, music, and plenty of laughter. You’ll be surprised how quickly the time flies when you’re doing it together!
2. Create a Shared Goal Tracker
Stay on track with a digital tool like Trello, Google Keep, or even a shared notebook. Whether you’re both working on wellness routines, budgeting goals, or home projects, seeing each other’s progress helps keep the momentum going.
3. Do Monthly Mini Check-Ins
A quick 15-minute phone or video call each month can work wonders. Use this time to celebrate wins, troubleshoot obstacles, and hold each other accountable. It’s like having a personal cheerleader on speed dial.
4. Gift Each Other Something Functional
Forget candles or coffee mugs—gift your BFF something to support their organizing journey. Think stylish label makers, colorful storage bins, or a beautiful planner that inspires daily use.
5. Swap Skills & Strengths
Maybe your friend is a pro at digital files while you’re the queen of closets. Why not teach each other? Swapping skills not only builds confidence—it deepens your bond as you grow and organize together.
Closing Thoughts:
Best friends make life better—and more organized. This month, use Best Friends Day as your excuse to team up, tidy up, and cheer each other on. Want more ideas? Be sure to listen to the full podcast episode for inspiration and motivation.
