#176: I'm Trying Hard Not To Be A Perfectionist Procrastinator (CarlaRae Confesses) Jul 20, 2018

Show notes

Think of a few things on your to-do list that you've been procrastinating on...

Do you get too preoccupied with details that may not matter in the long run?

Do you wait until it feel like just the "right time" to do something?

Do you find that many tasks are strenuous and slow going when you try to complete them?

Do you prefer not to do something at all if it can't be done perfectly?

Or do you tend to have an "all or nothing" way of thinking?

If you can answer yes to one or more of these questions then you just might be a Perfectionist Procrastinator.

On today's episode I tell you how I definitely relate to this style of procrastination and what I've done to change.

#174: 10 Things To Toss In 10 Minutes Jul 06, 2018

Show notes

For many of us, we don't always have hours or even days to organize an entire room or closet. Fortunately, it doesn't always have to be a huge, time-consuming event. Sometimes all it takes is a few minutes here and there.

Simplifying your home is a process, it's not just a one shot deal. Over time, stuff naturally creeps back into your house. If you want to tame the chaos, then ongoing mini declutter sessions are a must.

Today I give you a list of 10 different things that you can easily toss in less than 10 minutes to help declutter you home.

#171: Let Your Kids Have Collections Jun 26, 2018

Show notes

Most kids have collections. My son collects bottle caps from the beach, coins, fidget spinners, and Pokémon cards.

Do you have children that collect things? What do they collect? Maybe dinosaurs, Legos, stuffed animals, cars, shells, stickers, or bugs.

I definitely want my son to have a healthy relationship with stuff. I want to encourage him to live a simple life with a clutter-free home. BUT, I am learning that it is still very important for children (and even adults) to have collections.

On today's episode I am give you a handful of reasons as to why you should not only let your child have a collection, but why you should also encourage them to maintain it and help them to honor it.

#170: Home Organizing Myth #4 - Debunked! (PART 4 of 5) Jun 22, 2018

Show notes

Today's myth is the very common misconception that only certain types of people can be organized.

Well, that's just not true.

You don't have to be an organizing whiz in order to get or stay organized. You don't have to be born with a specific gene or have a certain type of personality. ANYONE can learn how to be organized.

In today's episode I explain how organization is a skill, not just a trait.

#169: The Moments We Will One Day Miss Jun 19, 2018

Show notes

Today, I'm having one of those mushy-gushy-sappy-sentimental "Mommy Moments".

You see, this coming Thursday is my son's last day of 1st Grade. I honestly have no idea where the school year went!

I know it's such a cliché, but kids really do grow too fast.

On today's episode I share with you a short article written by Jim Daly who is the president of Focus on the Family. It's called "The Moments We Nearly Miss."

#168: Home Organizing Myth #3 - Debunked! (PART 3 of 5) Jun 08, 2018

Show notes

Today's myth is a big one. It is a misconception we all tend to believe.

Here it is: Before you organize, you need to buy the perfect containers.

Well, that's not necessarily true. The fact is you don't always know what the perfect containers are going to be - or if you are going to even need them at all - until AFTER you organize your stuff.

On today's episode I explain what it means to organize backwards and how not to fall in that trap.
