#147: A Personal Question With A Complicated Answer (Ask CarlaRae) Mar 26, 2018

Show notes

If you don't already know, on my website there is an "Ask CarlaRae" page. I always have a link to it on the bottom of my show notes for every episode, which is CarlaRaeArneson.com/AskCarlaRae.

I love receiving messages from our listeners! Usually I get organizing questions, suggestions for topic ideas that people are interested in hearing about on the show, and sometimes I get random messages of people just wanting to just say hello, which I REALLY love.

I am the only person who reads or listens to these messages, they do not go to a virtual assistant or customer service tech. They go straight to me. And I always try to reply within a day or two depending on if we're traveling or not.

Every once in a while I feature some of those questions I receive on the show, with permission from the sender, of course.

On today's episode I share with you a very unique question I received from one of listeners.

Show notes

For most people, Mondays are the worst day of the week, hands down. Even if the day itself actually goes by just fine, we still for many reasons anticipate Mondays to be hard and awful.

A cloud begins to descend, then the blues set in. Chances are, you've felt it too. Sometime around 4pm on Sunday, most of the developed world gives one huge collective groan.

Do you despise Mondays? Do you ever get the Sunday blues? Well, then hopefully today's show can help. On this episode of Life Made Simple I give you a three unique strategies to help you outsmart your Sunday Sadness.

#143: Meal Planning Made Easy Mar 06, 2018

Show notes

What is meal planning? Well, meal planning is asking the question "what's for dinner" once for the whole week, instead of asking it every night. You then go shopping for and sometimes even prep the ingredients ahead of time.

I'm just going to be honest with you. I have a love-hate relationship with meal planning.

We've all heard it before, planning out meals for the week helps to save money. It can help save time by cutting down on extra trips to the grocery store. And the biggest benefit is that it eliminates the 5 o'clock scramble to figure out what's for dinner, which is never fun to do at the end of the day when you're tired and hungry.

But if there are so many benefits to meal planning, why do most people, including myself, dread doing it?!?

On today's episode I share with you some very practical tips and simple techniques that I've learned over the years that has helped even the most resistant of my clients.

#142: Basement & Cellar Storage Tips Mar 02, 2018

Show notes

Samantha, one of our listener's, recently sent me a message, "I just moved into a very small old house and it seems the only storage spot is in the cellar. I'm really nervous about moisture. Do you happen to have any storage tips?"

Yes, since I live in Seattle (where it tends to be wet most of the year) I've encountered this question many times before from a handful of clients. And I definitely have some thoughts for you when it comes to using cellars or basements for storage.

#140: Giving Credit Where Credit Is Due Feb 22, 2018

Show notes

Recently, I was so caught up in my life that I didn't take the time to show appreciation to a few people who really deserved it. Too often I have let those little opportunities to bless others who have blessed me slip right through my fingers.

On my quest to simplify my life I want to focus on what's really important to me. People are important to me. Showing gratitude is sooo important to me.

Today, I share with you my commitment to always take the time to give credit where credit is due.

#139: 7 Things To Stop Accumulating In Your Life Feb 19, 2018

Show notes

Life changes. It evolves. It advances. And as it does more things tend come into our lives. More stuff, more work, more technology, more distractions. We keep squeezing a little bit more in here and a little bit more in there. It happens to all of us. Our culture and society thrives off of the idea of "more".

But then eventually, sometimes, we get to the point when life can get a little overwhelming. It can be hard to handle it all.

I know that we are almost programmed to believe that more is better. But today, I propose an alternative to this way of thinking. For the sake of peace of mind, serenity, joy, happiness, and true fulfillment (which we all strive for), I think we need to focus on less, not more.

Have less. Do less. And be more.

For today's episode, I give you 7 things in your life that you can stop accumulating today in order to live a simpler, happier life... 7 things to have less of so that you can be more.
