A Slob Comes Clean

Meal planning is a huge part of home management. Not having a plan for meals can cause a lot of stress every single evening of the week! I’m talking with Katie who has big dreams and plans for a meal plan, but hasn’t been able to actually get started. We’re using the five step Anti-Procrastination Process from my new book to help her break through all the planning and actually get it done.

Oh how we (clutter strugglers and procrastinators) are obsessed with (the idea of) efficiency! We love the idea of shaving off unnecessary minutes. We love the idea of making big progress quickly. But in the name of efficiency, we end up procrastinating. It comes down to this: a method isn't efficient if it isn't effective. (Sorry.)

If your default reaction is sass, this episode is for you. I get a little sassy when faced with a task I don’t want to do. But thankfully, the No Mess Decluttering Method is sass-friendly.

Oh, how I used to LOVE the idea of extra space. But I loved the idea because I wanted to fill it! Now, I see extra space as necessary. It's not available for more stuff, it's taken up by all the things I need to be able to do in that space.

As always, I'm taking time off during the summer. We're sharing the audio of previous live Q&As that I did on YouTube. If you only listen to the podcast, this will be all new to you! We'll be back to our regular format mid-August.This episode includes my answers to questions about piles blocking Take It There Now, a craft room that's taken over by fabric, and what to do with a late husband's last box, plus much more.
