#652 The Clutter Free Lifestyle: 10 Habits That Actually Work

Do you ever feel like the clutter in your life is holding you back from reaching your productivity potential? While many of us grapple with chaos in our surroundings—be it a desk buried in papers or an inbox overflowing with emails—Barbara Hemphill, the famed Paper Tiger organizer and author, believes there's more to the story. Barbara sees clutter as "postponed decisions," affecting not just our physical environments but our mental clarity and decision-making skills. There is a way to transform your cluttered spaces into zones of productivity, better decisions and accelerated success.

Do you want to have a clutter-free Christmas this year? Let's face it… Christmas and the holiday season is here and there's no stopping it now. For some, just the thought of all the to-do's and hanging with the in-laws gives you the hives. For others, the frenzy is exhilarating but by December 27th, you always seem to come down with flu-like symptoms that (totally) flatten you for days. Raise your hand if any of this resonates. But what if this year was simpler? What if this year could be different? And to that, I say YES! My all-star special guest today is author Kathi Lipp and she's simplifying how to have a clutter-free Christmas. With a bit of humor and a little sass, she's written the book on almost every aspect of the holiday season, helping us decide what to keep, what to scrap, and how to not totally lose your mind along the way. Here's how. My all-star special guest today is Kathi Lipp and she's simplifying how to have a clutter-free Christmas. We tackle and simplify all aspects of it, including: How she defines what a “clutter-free” Christmas could look like, not only talking about the physical stuff but your schedule and your mental wellness Why we tend to get caught up in the holiday frenzy in the first place What a “Holiday Mission Statement” is and how to create one with your household How to apply 3 of the 21 projects from her book, ‘The Christmas Project Planner' in to your life over the coming weeks in simple, practical ways, including: How to create your Christmas prep space with a “Magic Christmas Box” How to schedule your time for the holidays How to refresh yourself and carve out some YOU time As with most all topics we simplify on the podcast, one core principle certainly rings true here:  It's not about doing more, but actually doing less.  When we release the white knuckle grip of control and perfectionism on our lives and learn to say “no, thank you” to the obligations, tasks and unnecessary to-do's, we ultimately will find peace, joy and a heck of lot less anxiety. I encourage you to think about what you might let go of this year as you're listening to our conversation ahead. Kathi is funny, irreverent, and my kind of girlfriend who's saying “enough!” to the insanity and helping us all get back to the real reason for the season. Q: Are you ready to have a clutter-free Christmas? If yes, this one is for you.It's time to #DoTheThing! ---- Show notes available with all links mentioned here: https://www.thesimplifiers.com/posts/368-how-to-have-a-clutter-free-christmas---with-kathi-lipp-all-star
