Hey Guys, In this episode, you'll spend just ten minutes setting up your closet so tomorrow's decluttering session is fast, clean, and doable. No decisions today — only preparation. Wardrobe Decluttering Series Overview This month we're decluttering your wardrobe in four simple categories so you never feel overwhelmed: 1️⃣ Tops Everything worn from your neck to your waist • Hanging vs. folded • Long-sleeve vs. short-sleeve • Goal: Build a foundation you actually love to wear 2️⃣ Bottoms Anything worn from your waist down • Jeans, pants, leggings, skirts, shorts • Clear out anything that no longer fits your life or body 3️⃣ One-Piece Outfits All the items that stand alone • Dresses, jumpsuits, rompers • Keep only the pieces that make you feel confident 4️⃣ Everything Else The final layer of your wardrobe • Jackets, coats, shoes, undergarments, belts, tights, scarves, hats, accessories • Align these items with who you are today — not past or fantasy versions of you How This Series Works • One small category at a time • Clear, doable steps in every episode • Focused attention so you can actually finish each section Why We Do It This Way Because your wardrobe holds old identities — versions of you from the past or imaginary futures. Sorting by category gives your brain clarity so decision-making becomes logical instead of emotional. When you can see what you really own, you can finally choose what supports the life you have now.  

This week on Minimalish, I'm welcoming Devon Kuntzman, founder of Transforming Toddlerhood, for a conversation every toddler parent needs, especially during the holiday season. Devon brings so much clarity and compassion to the toddler years, and this episode is full of encouragement and truly helpful strategies you can start using right away. We talk about what's really going on beneath “big behaviors,” why toddlerhood is such an important developmental season, and how a lot of the work actually starts with us—our emotions, our expectations, and the environment we create. Devon also shares practical tips for everyday challenges, including navigating sibling conflict, managing screen time, prepping for busy seasons (like holidays) so you and your kids can handle transitions with more ease, and setting boundaries with family and friends in a way that protects your values. If you're craving more peace, confidence, and connection in your home—especially with little ones in the toddler stage (though the tips can span many ages of childhood)— then this episode is for you.

Amy Brooks, creator and owner of Catholics Online and the Prayer, Wine, Chocolate Retreat program joins us again today as we declutter the bedroom shared by her twins.  When we began our Zoom session together, Amy said she was tired and not really feeling excited about our session.

In this episode, I share my top five lessons for mom entrepreneurs managing a flexible schedule. I talk about how I've overcome guilt for enjoying midday freedom—reminding myself and my fellow working moms that this flexibility is a strength we've created, not a luxury. I explain how I define what “done” looks like by setting clear goals and calendar blocking, which helps me avoid overwhelm and improve my productivity. I discuss the boundaries I set to honor my off-hours, boosting both my work and family life. I also share how I reduce decision fatigue with planned routines and themed family dinners, making daily life with a business smoother. Finally, I reveal how pre-planning and batching household tasks keeps me focused as a business owner and mom. These productivity tips help me—and hopefully you—find balance, thrive in entrepreneurship, and enjoy more time with your family.  Free Resources:Join 30 Day Calendar Blocking Blueprint and finally feel in control. ​Click here to join the next round. ​Are you a business owner making $100,000+ and still wearing all the hats? ​Click here​ to learn about my upcoming 12-week Outsourcing Mastermind.Are you an aspiring or newer business owner who needs some accountability and clarity on the next steps? ​Click here​ to join my 6-month accountability group - Simplify.

Organizing Your Digital Life

Mother Teresa said: “The more you have, the more you are occupied. The less you have, the more free you are.” What is it that's occupying too much of your time, your space, your thinking, your schedule? Dr. Randy asks, is it time to make decluttering your one thing?

I break down why piling things up with good intentions doesn't actually solve anything, why decluttering comes before organising, and share honest strategies for making actual progress when your home feels overwhelming. Barriers to Organising Due to Inaccessible Shelves E.g. wanting to keep clothes but can't access the wardrobe Emotional impact: frustration and the cycle of blocked organisation Layers and spread of clutter that block storage areas The Vicious Cycle of Clutter and Organisation How inaccessible shelves lead to piles that further compound the problem The emotional fallout: self-blame and shame Reframing the struggle as a symptom of hoarding disorder's progression, not personal failure Coping Strategies & Common Pitfalls Temporary solutions (bags/boxes for items meant for inaccessible areas) and associated risks (forgetting what's inside) The “out of sight, out of mind” issue Overestimating the capacity of designated spaces for stored items Imperfect Progress and Starting Where You Are Importance of starting without perfect access or planning Emotional and practical aspects of starting with what's immediately available The danger of over-planning and the value of taking imperfect action Building Momentum: Small Steps and Accessibility Clearing even small spaces leads to broader clearing efforts How minor improvements enable further progress Core Issue: Volume Over Organisation Identifying excessive possessions as the root problem, not lack of organisation Emphasis that organising without decluttering only rearranges clutter Professional advice: dehoarding and decluttering must come before organising The Trap of Reorganisation Without Decluttering The concept of “churn”—moving items around versus actual removal How adding more storage increases clutter, not solves it Real progress comes from discarding items and opening spaces Regaining Access and Realistic Organisation Regaining access to storage areas requires reducing overall volume Setting realistic expectations for what storage spaces can hold Organising solutions are secondary to decluttering Practical Strategies for Decluttering Picking a strategic spot or simply starting wherever you are Focusing efforts (entrances, exits, specific goals, categories) Opening neglected bags/boxes and revealing new priorities Breaking down overwhelming tasks and celebrating small wins Safety Considerations Avoiding dangerous physical manoeuvres to reach blocked areas Importance of asking for help and maintaining physical safety Mindset and Momentum Recognising and celebrating progress, no matter the size Positive reinforcement to build motivation for ongoing decluttering The Hard Truth: Volume Reduction is Essential Acknowledging that reaching shelves requires lowering the overall volume Practical details (where to put items temporarily) less important than reducing quantity Links Come to a Dehoarding Accountability Zoom session: Accountability Booking Form Website: Overcome Compulsive Hoarding Become a Dehoarding Darling Submit a topic for the podcast to cover Questions to ask when dehoarding: https://www.overcomecompulsivehoarding.co.uk/podquestions Instagram: @thathoarderpodcast Twitter: @ThatHoarder Mastodon: @ThatHoarder@mastodon.online TikTok: @thathoarderpodcast Facebook: Overcome Compulsive Hoarding with That Hoarder Pinterest: That Hoarder YouTube: Overcome Compulsive Hoarding with That Hoarder Reddit: Overcome Compulsive Hoarding with That Hoarder subreddit Help out: Support this project Sponsor the podcast Subscribe to the podcast Subscribe to the podcast here
