#157: Always Late? Here's What To Do About It! (ENCORE EPISODE) May 01, 2018

Show notes

Have you ever wondered why some people never seem to arrive to places on time? Now I know that everyone is late now and then, but I'm talking about people who tend to run late MOST of the time.

Maybe it's only 5, 10, or 15 minutes late on occasion, so it's not always so noticeable. In those cases, they are late enough that it isn't detrimental to their event, but still a little annoying to those around them. But then there are those who run anywhere from 30 minutes to over an hour late. Know anyone like that?

Today, I have a confession for you. My confession is that I used to struggle with being on time. Kinda ironic, isn't it, considering I'm technically a Time Management Specialist. I guess it's just a classic case of "the cobbler's children go barefoot and have no shoes."

I can say that I've gotten MUCH better over the years, because I used to be really bad. I was rarely ever more than 20 minutes late, but I was chronically 5-15 minutes late most of the time. Like I said, I've gotten much better, but I still find that I struggle with it.

In today's episode I reveal WHY most people are habitually late... because there is a lot of psychology behind it. And then we talk about a handful of practical solutions, tips, and techniques that I've applied to my own life that can definitely help you to be on time more often.

Show notes

Motivation is a funny thing. It's not something that just magically appears when you want it to. Motivation doesn't always find you.

#151: How To Schedule Periodic Purges To Control Clutter Apr 10, 2018

Show notes

Clutter doesn't appear out of thin air. At some point in time, every item in your home was carried across your threshold by either you or some other member of the family.

For most families, including my own, stuff easily comes INTO the house. However, things don't GO OUT as effortlessly. Letting go, downsizing, purging, and removing unnecessary things from our homes takes time and effort. It takes INTENTION.

On today's episode I give you a detailed periodic purge schedule that you can adopt to help declutter your home on a regular basis.

#150: If You Had To Quickly Evacuate, What Would You Take? Apr 05, 2018

Show notes

Imagine there was a natural disaster or some other emergency. If you only had a very short amount of time to evacuate your home and could only take what could fit in your car, what would you take?

What do you have that's irreplaceable? Anything extremely valuable?

Here's another question for you... is your home simplified and organized enough so that it would take very little effort to quickly grab those sort of things?

The reason I ask these questions is not necessarily to convince you to prepare for such an occasion, although that's not a bad idea. My intention for today's show is to encourage you to analyze your relationship with your belongings.

#149: Two Different Paths, But Which Way To Go? Apr 02, 2018

Show notes

"The hardest decision in life can be which bridge to cross and which one to burn."

We all spend an inordinate amount of time, and a tremendous amount of energy, making life choices every day. Some are huge and can have an impact on every aspect of our life. And then some are trivial, like what shirt to wear or what to have for lunch.

On today's episode I give you my thoughts on making tough decisions and trusting life's journey.

#148: A Lesson Learned When I Didn't Take My Own Advice (CarlaRae Confesses) Mar 29, 2018

Show notes

I've said it many times before, I am not perfect. This is a journey... and we're in it together. Simplicity isn't just about having your home organized, it's also about mindsets and habits.

On today's episode, I share with you one small change that I recently made (by accident) that has made a huge impact in my life. Ironically, it has to do with a piece of advice I shared on the show a long ago, yet never did myself.
