When we feel overwhelmed by the state of our homes, it’s tempting to want to fix everything all at once. But trying to declutter, clean, and organize an entire space in one go can lead to burnout or make things even worse. Taylor Flanery encourages us to avoid “choking on our homes” by taking small, manageable bites—15 minutes at a time—rather than trying to overhaul everything in a weekend. LINKS...

Those are what would be considered time wasters.  LINKS IN EPISODE Google Feed Blocker Episode Transcript Episode Synopsis

Mark Twain has been attributed as saying if you eat a live frog first thing in the morning, you won’t do anything else more unpleasant the whole day.
