Send us Fan Mail In Part 2 of our "Great Closet Cleanup," we talk a certain "small" closet and how to decipher what to rotate in and out of it, as well as when to replace certain items. We also talk about the downside of buying in bulk, how to prepare for guests and why it's important to read reviews on items that seem too good to be true... BUT may end up surprising you. ...

Send us Fan Mail Hey Labelers! For this special subscription episode, you'll get a "first look" at 5 of the episode topics coming up this quarter. I'll also talk about my new project that will DROP on Valentine's Day and tell you how you can be a part of it - a week before the information is posted on the regular pod. As always, thank you for supporting the podcast! Happy...

Send us Fan Mail If you've been following this show for awhile, you know that we love a good 10-Minute Task! Today, we're going to introduce the "20-Minute Task" and attach it to what I like to call The Great Closet Cleanup. Whether you spend only 20 minutes at a time on this project, or you decide to work longer, the main focus is to make some simple, honest decisions. So, let...

Send us Fan Mail My heart goes out to everyone affected by the wildfires in California. I know most people had to get out quickly, and many of them said, "I wish I would have taken..." So this episode is designed to give you ONE simple thing you can do NOW that will make that decision a little easier to make, if you are ever forced to evacuate. Whether you live in an area where there are...

Send us Fan Mail For those of you who just experienced a snowstorm or two, how long did it take you to shovel yourself out? Or did you stay trapped? You know, it's a whole heck of a lot easier to get rid of snow before it has accumulated. Maybe there's something similar to say about your closet? Let's talk about it together and see if we can't find you a clear path.  Support th...

Send us Fan Mail Frustrated because you don't like these new "modern" organizing systems? Maybe you don't have the budget to go purchase 20 stacking acrylic bins with handles or lids? Then let's talk about "Old School" organizing and go back to doing what worked - before organizing was trendy AND expensive. We'll also talk about when it makes more sense to u...

Send us Fan Mail Many businesses and software companies will offer us a free trial - if we want to experience their service or product before making a "bigger" commitment. But what about the experience of letting things go? Is there a way to offer OURSELVES a "trial" in order to see what life would be like living with fewer things? On this very first day of the new year, let&ap...

Send us Fan Mail It's almost time to ring in the new year, but what is your PLAN? Do you just have a resolution, or do you have a VISION? In this last episode of 2024, we don't just talk getting you through January with a goal. We discuss planning, prepping, doing the work... then resting if needed. Don't quit! Just adjust your approach - to get you through the new YEAR and beyond. ...

Send us Fan Mail When is the last time you cleaned out your divided silverware tray? Pulled out everything in the drawer and analyzed how much silverware you actually need? If you're like most of my clients, the answer is NEVER. Once you by the divider and place it in the drawer, it's over. Today, let's revisit this sad little organizer and see just how much attention it needs. Let&...

Send us Fan Mail Constantly purchasing large totes only to dump a bunch of stuff in, still never to locate the items in it later? Or do you organize on such a micro level that it feels like all you're doing is sorting out hundreds of little bags that will eventually go into slightly larger bags? Believe it or not, there's a difference between "containing" and "organizing&q...

Send us Fan Mail Do you know where all of your Band-Aids are? What about your Batteries? And if you were to need either today, are you sure that they will still stick on your finger or make your remote-control work? (Hopefully you know which item does what lol.) Today, we're going to talk about getting these items organized AND if they need to be replaced, this is your prompt to do so. With t...

Send us Fan Mail It's that time of year where some people are making a list, and checking it twice, and though that's NICE... What about the lists we're NOT making? Like, the BIG lists about our life and what we want to do with it. In this episode, I talk making that ONE master list and checking it once, twice - over and over again - until your life, and your home, look exactly the...

Send us Fan Mail We all get overwhelmed with projects. Sometimes, we have to fight our instinct to "keep pushing" and just take a break. Whether it's a day or a year, we're only "quitting" if we never come back to it. "Learn to Rest; Not to Quit" has always been one of my favorite motivational phrases. Let's talk about what that can look like with Organ...

Send us Fan Mail Wow, I can't believe we're already at 50 episodes! A lot of tears had to be shed (mostly by clients, but sometimes from me too lol) in order for this show to exist and I'm grateful that I've had the opportunity to do it. Love Languages... what are yours? If you're good at organizing, you may not realize how sharing your "talent" could mean a lot...

Send us Fan Mail How many of you out there have rented a storage unit at some point? How many people cringed when I asked that? lol. Some of you may have rented a storage unit temporarily then closed it as soon as you could. I'm assuming MOST of you currently have one and you avoid it at all costs. So, let's talk about it. If it brings you stress, why do you still have it? Furthermore, l...

Send us Fan Mail Feel like you have a ton of towels, but none of them are in good shape? Not sure where they are all at and what you need, so that every bathroom is stocked properly? Join me in today's 10 Minute Task where we tackle those pesky bath towels and decide what goes, what stays and what's WORTHY of organizing! Support the show

Send us Fan Mail How many times have you heard someone say, "Well... I'm just going to have to live with it?" [Play Dramatic Music] Hopefully, not as often as you used to. But there will always be people who want to make something small a big deal, whether it's a purchase or a project or just a simple interaction. Let's motivate ourselves this Monday to either deal with it...

Send us Fan Mail We all want what we want - and we want it quick! But some plans take longer to come together. That's when we have to trust the process and follow the steps we laid in place from the beginning. Join me for today's Monday Motivation, as well as the conversation on how to outsource tasks you're not great at, find the people who are and TRUST that they will help your vi...

Send us Fan Mail It's hard enough to organize when it's just "stuff" that "doesn't matter." It's a whole other ball game when you're dealing with items that no longer serve a purpose in your life - maybe from a time you'll never experience again. Maybe you're an empty nester. Maybe you have the items of someone who is no longer around. If you&...

Send us Fan Mail Hey! Hey you! Yeah, it's time to update your software. OK or Dismiss? Dismiss? Sure, but I'll remind you the next time you log in... Wouldn't it be nice if we received update reminders in other areas of our life? "Hey, it's time to clean out your fridge!" Or "You know you need to wash a load of dark clothes." Sometimes our software tells us...

Send us Fan Mail Sometimes we need to get ourselves organized and we overthink it. It isn't until we miss something - or ALMOST miss something - really important that we get our "stuff" together and focus on what is priority. So, whether you have kids or not, the Fall Break SEASON can be a time for anyone to work on some projects that just need a simple "old school" soluti...

Send us Fan Mail Ever try something once, and it doesn't work out, so you throw your hands up and walk away? Yeah, me too. But I'm working on it. "If at first, you don't succeed..." So, I hit a snag this weekend, but my goal is to use what I learned from the experience and immediately try again. What is something you can throw a second attempt at this week? Come on! Let&ap...
