In this continuation of last week's episode, Kathi Lipp and Cheri Gregory dig into the process of procrastination and how it is hurting all of us. In addition to defining the procrastination responses of Freeze and Fawn, they discuss the difference between working under pressure and pre-deciding. Kathi and Cheri describe how they use the concept of pre-deciding to live a life that reflects their values instead of living a life of fear. That's what they want for you too!

How do you start a conversation with someone who says that absolutely everything is valuable and should be cherished? Especially when that means that you, not they, should be the person to make space for it?  Kathi and her friend Cheri Gregory are returning today for the second part of their discussion on how to respond responsibly to another person who has a “waste not, want not” mentality. Here are their tips for how to keep the peace without keeping all the stuff: For people living in your household, give each person their own space and they can keep what they want in that space. Have agreed upon standards for cleanliness, maintenance tasks, and decorating budgets. If someone says, “I can fix that,” set a time and have a plan for getting that item fixed. Consider whether or not fixing a particular item is enjoyable and worth the time. Realize that you may not agree or change the other person's mind, and you can still keep boundaries around your own space and belongings. Did you miss the first part of this conversation? If so, you can listen to that here.  Sign up here for the Clutter Free Academy newsletter and be notified when future episodes are released.

Sometimes we hear sayings like “waste not, want not” and we assume they are true all the time and in every circumstance. Or we may want to get rid of something, but someone else in our life expects us to keep it. What to do then? Today Kathi is discussing this very issue with her friend and co-author, Cheri Gregory. Cheri tells the tale of some big items she has recently decluttered and shares how her mindset about those items has changed over time. Some of those shifts in her thinking include: Realizing that just because an item was nice several decades ago, doesn't mean it is still nice. Learning to set a time limit on fixing things - just because something could be fixed someday by someone doesn't mean I have to keep it (broken) forever. There is a cost to keeping things - time dealing with them, lost space to enjoy other things, and missed opportunities. Listen next week to hear Part 2 of the discussion, in which Cheri gives advice for how to start a conversation with someone else who is opposed to our decluttering efforts.

Have you ever second guessed a decision you've made, even after doing thoughtful and thorough research? Have you vacillated between decisions and then ended up doing... nothing? You are not alone, friend. It's called thrashing and Kathi and her three-time coauthor Cheri Gregory are with us today discussing the concept of thrashing as well as some lessons each learned during their recent home renovations. Cheri has three lessons for us regarding clutter and renovations, the first of which she shares in this episode.

You wake up with the best of intentions... to grab a cup of coffee, bible and devotional and head to a quiet cozy corner to spend some time getting filled before you start your day…But then something happens. Something always seems to happen. You know how much better you feel when you start your day off with Jesus, but interruptions and real life make it almost impossible to get in a daily devotional routine that works.

You might love God but wonder about Part B.   You don't remember your neighbor's name or even which house they live in when you walk by with your puppy or they walk by with their puppy. You say "Hello" but you don't really know them. I can relate! We have 90 homes in our neighborhood, we've lived here over 30 years and I certainly don't know them all.   It sounds too hard to obey Christ's command to "go into all the world starting with Jerusalem." But I like to think my neighborhood is my Jerusalem. You, too?   You want to show your neighborhood God's love but you're not sure how to go about it. Click here today for 12 simple tips to help you invite your neighbors over for coffee. I include two delicious and easy recipes. Try them out and I'll come over! (I won't bring my puppy.)

"Hi Kathi!  I found your blog via Cheri Gregory's blog.  I've been  enjoying (and hopefully learning) from your blog posts and podcasts. I've been looking at my stuff, my house, my responsibilities, my kids  etc lately and feeling like I am somewhat out of control.  The  physical stuff generally is used and gets put back within a one foot  radius of where it belongs.  I can purge stuff without any problems  and have done some throughout my married years.  But when it comes to  getting everything done in a timely manner without missing anything,  I start to feel like my brain is too full or too small or has some  kind of black hole somewhere! (Maybe the mysterious force that normally eats socks has taken up  residence in in my head? )  Four homeschooled kids ages 9, 7, 4, and  1 tends to add a whole other load of responsibility and tasks.   Where do I start and what do I do? Signed, a slightly frazzled mom otherwise known as A." Listen to this episode to get great advice and tips from Kathi and Cheri.
