Don't plan to take up the floor, knock down the walls, give everything away (including the kids) and start over with a new beau or gal all at the same time!
It can be quite tempting to do much after the death of someone, a divorce, job promotion, and more, but you are only adding more stress on yourself (and those you live with). Who knows when all that stuff you pulled out and up is going to be put away!
So often people get started with major home improvements in the middle of personal crisis while looking for others to help--this is also a bad decision. Be mindful that others have things they are doing and enjoy and then along you come the home wrecker causing havoc!
It isn't any wonder some young people will sigh and roll their eyes at troubled parents wanting to get everything done all at the same time after a major life crisis. Chaotic organizing is nothing more than added stress! Consider this, sometimes the help is just not going to be available, the finances will eventually run out, and unexpected issues just might show up--not only is your life a wreck but so is your dwelling. The new additions, décor and other things can wait a bit.
Get you life together first (those outside influences) and the home organizing projects will sure to follow. Allow yourself the energy to recharge before beginning any new project especially if you are a parent.
