Ep. 23 - When You Want To Organize Your Paper Feb 22, 2023

Show notes

Research shows that over 50% of people struggle with their paper.

They have too much loose paper in their home, and can’t find important papers when they need them.

So if you struggle with this too, you’re not alone.

That’s why I am helping you organize your paper in this episode.

I’ll share two simple tools to get that paper under control:

How you can organize paper the way your computer organizes your email
The single most important habit for organizing your paper

Listen, no one teaches us this stuff in school, and we certainly aren’t paying for “paper lessons” for our kids.

Let me help you demystify paper clutter.

You’ve got lots better things to do with your time than dig through those piles to find what you need.

Ep. 22 - When You Need To Stick With It Feb 15, 2023

Show notes

Have you ever thought about how much of what we do every day or every week is so repetitive?

And Isn’t it such a bummer that most of what we have to repeat just isn’t that fun?

I mean, it’s not like we need sunshine and roses every moment of the day…but if we feel like a rain cloud is following us around most of the time, it can get kind of hard to keep doing all the things day after day.

We procrastinate.

We complain.

We get behind.

We dread it.

And that’s not the way to live an organized life.

What we need is a way to sweeten it up - and in this episode I give you a clever little tool to help you with those regular tasks that just aren’t very fun.

It’s a catchy mantra that you can teach your kids and your spouse - and use for yourself.

It’s funny how much easier it is to do something when we have the right tool.

Ep. 18 - When You’re Not Keeping Up Jan 18, 2023

Show notes

I had an interesting experience on the treadmill a few weeks ago.

I couldn’t realize why my runs were so hard – until I noticed that the incline setting was stuck. Even though the treadmill said I was running at no incline, the machine was stuck at level 10.

This made me think about more than just running.

Sometimes we don’t recognize that we are trying to keep up with everything even though in life we are on a level 10 incline. We expect things to happen as easily and effortlessly as they always do – and when they don’t, we can be awfully hard on ourselves. We can wonder what’s wrong with us, why other people seem to be able to get it all done, and worry that we’re never going to have what it takes.

But we don’t have to do it that way anymore. Not when we know how to detect the inclines in our lives, and not when we have the tools to know what to do about it.

In this episode I share 3 tools to help you when you are facing life on an incline.

In this episode, how to:

Acknowledge the incline
Default to self-love instead of self-criticism
Do something about it

Tools:

What do you need, what’s missing?

Ep. 17 - When You Have Too Much Stuff Jan 11, 2023

Show notes

All right, ready to learn about a quick organizing habit that is mindless and easy to implement – but powerful in preventing the buildup of clutter?

It’s a little tool called FIFO and stands for First In, First Out.

Today we’ll talk about how FIFO is your new mantra each time you bring something new into the house, because it leads you to automatically select something to get OUT of the house.

This mindset is an easy way to avoid accumulating too much stuff – and with a little tweak can even help you get ahead of a clutter problem without making it into a big project.

Learn how to easily implement FIFO, and even adapt it to help you clear the clutter from your time and schedule.

FIFO is one of those powerful organizing habits we love because it requires very little effort while giving you great results. I hope you feel an instant connection with this tool and adopt it indefinitely!

Tools taught in this episode:

Ep. 16 - When It’s A New Year Jan 03, 2023

Show notes

Ready for another great metaphor? Today I’ll compare pursuing your goals to sailing on a ship – and if that ship is leaky, you’re not going to be making it very far with those goals.

A disorganized life is a lot like a leaky ship – and until we seal up all the places disorganization is leaking into our lives, we will never really have the bandwidth to pursue the things that are really important to us.

So how do we organize our lives so we can have smoother sailing towards the things we really want to achieve? Well, you’ll definitely want to check out the Life Organized membership link below to learn more.

And if the membership isn’t a good fit for you, then just start to identify parts of your life that hold you back. If you are willing to slow down on your goals long enough to seal up these leaks in your life, you’ll be amazed at how much more joyful the journey of accomplishing your goals can be.

Tools Mentioned:

The way you do one thing is the way you do everything.

Ep. 15 - When You Are Setting Goals Dec 28, 2022

Show notes

I am confessing something kind of embarrassing in this episode.

Historically, I have STRUGGLED with decorating.

(That is not an understatement. Just ask my husband)

But this December I attempted to update my holiday decorations and found unexpected success.

As I reflected about this, I realized that what had helped me can actually help you this year as you consider setting your New Year’s resolutions.

Listen, if there was something that could help me have some moderate success with decorating, then you can feel very encouraged that this same thing can help you with anything that might feel impossible to you.

There is a reason you desire it.

And there is a way to achieve it.

The proof is sitting in my Christmas bins.

Tools Mentioned:

You + what you want + the right tools = Success

Ep. 14 - When Things Get Really Busy Dec 21, 2022

Show notes

This is one of those episodes you are going to want to download, so you can re-listen when you get really busy…

…because during really busy times, like the holidays or the last few weeks of school before summer vacation, or when you are planning a big event or work project, or even when there are a lot of little everyday things that start to add up– it’s easy to start feeling overwhelmed, frustrated, stressed, resentful – and also possibly unmotivated, disinterested, depressed, and unhappy.

And those feelings are the LAST thing we have time for when we have a lot to do!

So in this episode I share two little game-changing questions you can ask yourself in these busy moments. The answers to these questions can change overwhelm to clarity; stress to peace of mind; lack of motivation to enthusiastic momentum.

Tools taught in this episode:

What do you need? What’s missing?
“Women need real moments of solitude and self-reflection to balance how much of ourselves we give away.” – Barbara De Angelis
