Podcasts about decluttering

Hey Friends, The bathroom is one of those places where clutter can pile up—old lotions, half-empty bottles, forgotten samples, gifts we never used, and products we keep simply because they're small enough to tuck away. In this guided episode, we will mindfully declutter the bathroom while practicing something deeper: noticing what's happening inside of us as we make decisions. When you feel rushed, distracted, judgmental, or overwhelmed, come back to the breath. Let the breath bring you back to yourself, then return to what's in front of you. Because the object isn't really the practice. You are. One breath. One object. One decision. Find me at @amber.cammidge on Instagram.

Have you been waiting for life to settle down before you start decluttering or caring for your home? Maybe there's a room you keep shutting the door on, and you think, "Why start now? I don't even know what's coming next." In this Christian devotional, we walk through Jeremiah 32 in the KJV. Jerusalem was under siege. Jeremiah was a prisoner. And God told him to buy a field. He bought it, signed the deed, and preserved the documents. Then he brought his confusion to the Lord. God's answer is our anchor passage, Jeremiah 32:26–27: "Then came the word of the LORD unto Jeremiah, saying, Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh: is there any thing too hard for me?" I share how this passage spoke to me when I was surrounded by clutter, unfinished home projects, and too many commitments. We talk about God's sovereignty, faith that acts before sight, and the temptation to let everyday responsibilities slide while we wait for a bigger answer. Jeremiah 32 is God's promise to restore His people to their land, not a promise about our circumstances. But Jeremiah's response shows us what obedience can look like in our homes and spiritual lives, even when we still have questions. For reflection: Where are you waiting for your circumstances to change before you start tending to what God has put in your care?

What if the secret to creating a richer life isn't doing more—but becoming unavailable for chaos? Today I'm joined by Shania Khan, creator of Soft 60, for a conversation about nervous system regulation, ambition, wealth, luxury, personal style, and what happens when women finally stop treating stress like a prerequisite for success. Shania and I both spent years in New York City, where moving fast, working harder, and constantly pushing felt completely normal. But after leaving the city—and learning how to slow down—we both began questioning the same thing: what if urgency isn't actually making us more successful? As Shania says in this episode: chaos repels wealth. We talk about why more effort doesn't always equal more money, the hidden cost of living in a constant state of urgency, and why creating space in your life can actually create space for more wealth, creativity, opportunities, and joy. We also get into the pressure women feel to do everything, why Shania believes a beautiful life is built through subtraction rather than addition, decision fatigue, clearing out your closet, dressing for the woman you are today, and why comfort and luxury are absolutely allowed to coexist. And we have a fascinating conversation about social media, authenticity, and the difference between sharing your truth with perspective…and turning your platform into a live feed of your most painful moments. In this episode, we talk about: • Why Shania believes chaos repels wealth • Breaking the addiction to hustle, urgency, and overworking • Why working harder doesn't necessarily mean earning more • Nervous system regulation as a daily practice • How slowing down can actually support ambition • Why creativity needs space and stillness • Building a beautiful life through subtraction • Decluttering your home, wardrobe, schedule, and relationships • Decision fatigue and why your closet might be stressing you out • Personal style, comfort, natural fabrics, and feeling luxurious in your clothes • The difference between authenticity and trauma dumping online • Why people want to see possibility, hope, and women winning • Shania's Soft 60 practice and learning to create calm one day at a time This conversation is your permission slip to stop white-knuckling your way toward the life you want. You do not have to destroy yourself to become successful. You do not have to live in urgency to be ambitious. And you certainly don't have to earn your wealth through exhaustion. Sometimes the richest thing you can do is slow the fuck down. Connect with Shania on social media @IamShaniaKhan and learn more about Soft 60 through the link in her profile.

Do you ever look around your house and think, “I'm just bad at organizing”? What if being organized isn't something you either are or aren't—but a skill you can actually learn?In this episode of The Secrets of Supermom Show, I'm talking with organizing expert and life coach Tracy Hoth about why so many busy moms struggle to get—and stay—organized, and why the real problem may have less to do with your stuff and more to do with the stories you're telling yourself.Tracy shares her simple SPACE method for organizing just about anything: your closet, your kitchen, your calendar, or even all those thoughts swirling around in your brain. We also talk about why clutter is often just “delayed decisions,” how perfectionism keeps us stuck, and why you absolutely do NOT need an entire free weekend to finally get organized.In this episode, you'll learn:Why organization is a skill, not a personality traitTracy's five-step SPACE method: Sort, Purge, Assign Homes, Contain, and EnergizeWhy you should never buy organizing containers before you declutterA simple trick that makes deciding what to keep much easierHow to stop letting “I might need this someday” create unnecessary clutterWhy “I don't have time to organize” might be costing you more timeHow 15 minutes can be enough to make real progressThe mindset shifts that can help you finally become someone who gets—and stays—organizedIf organizing your home has always felt overwhelming, this conversation will help you stop making your clutter mean something about who you are and start building the skill one small space at a time.Because you don't have to organize your entire house this weekend.

Text your thoughts and questions!Have you ever added one more thing to your calendar, telling yourself you could handle it, only to end up exhausted without feeling any more accomplished? Lisa gets it, and this week she's making the case for the opposite approach. One of her original mantras for Positively Productive has always been "Do less, live more, breathe easier"—counterintuitive advice from a productivity coach, but exactly the message she believes we need in a world that keeps insisting more is better.In this episode, Lisa introduces the concept of essentialism, popularized by Greg McKeown in his book Essentialism: The Disciplined Pursuit of Less. She traces the philosophy back further, to 20th-century writer Lin Yutang's idea that "the wisdom of life consists in the elimination of non-essentials," and to the German design principle Weniger aber besser ("less but better"), which McKeown repurposes into a practical framework for how we spend our time and energy. She unpacks McKeown's core, if uncomfortable, premise: you can't do everything well, and trying to do everything actually waters down your ability to do anything exceptionally. Lisa reframes the default question "How do I get this all done?" into the harder, more useful one: "What is actually essential here?" She explains why choosing less is a discipline that runs counter to how we're wired and rewarded, and offers practical tools for practicing it, including asking what you'd have to say no to before saying yes to something new, and a simple filter: if it's not a clear, definite yes, then it's a no—or as Lisa puts it, "if it's not a hell yes, then it's a hell no." She connects essentialism to her ongoing conversation about decluttering, both physical and mental, and points listeners toward two related frameworks: the capsule thinking approach from episode 319 and the minimum effective day planning method from episode 306. She closes with a set of reflective questions to help you find your own starting point, since essentialism, by nature, looks different for everyone.Essentialism, Lisa reminds us, isn't about doing less because you can't keep up. It's a deliberate skill that gets stronger the more you practice it, and it's the difference between managing everything and choosing the vital few things that actually matter.Key Takeaways:Discover the concept of essentialism, from Greg McKeown's book Essentialism: The Disciplined Pursuit of Less, and its roots in the German design principle "less but better."Understand why trying to do everything actually waters down your ability to do anything exceptionally well.Learn to replace "How do I get this all done?" with the harder, more useful question: "What is actually essential here?"Explore the "hell yes or hell no" filter for deciding what deserves a place on your calendar and to-do list.Understand why choosing less is a discipline, not a sign of giving up or falling behind.See how essentialism connects to whole-life decluttering, including calendars, to-do lists, and physical belongings.Discover the capsule thinking framework (episode 319) and the minimum effective day approach (episode 306) as practical tools for applying "less but better."Learn how to ask yourself the right questions to find your own starting point for practicing essentialism.Thank you for listening!

What If Your Home Needs Less? Backwards Decluttering & House Hushing with Myquillyn Smith If you're wondering how to make your home feel calmer, cozier, and less cluttered, one of the best places to start is by removing things rather than adding more. Backwards decluttering and house hushing can help you see what your home actually needs by temporarily clearing a room, creating visual quiet, and then intentionally adding back only the things you love and use. In this episode, I'm talking with New York Times bestselling author Myquillyn Smith about why a cozier home doesn't necessarily mean more stuff...and how embracing cozy minimalism can completely change the way your home feels. Have you ever walked into a room and thought, Something is bothering me in here...but I can't quite put my finger on it? Maybe the room isn't technically messy. Maybe everything has a place. Maybe you've even decorated it. And yet...it still feels like too much. That's where my conversation with New York Times bestselling author Myquillyn Smith gets really interesting. Myquillyn has a completely different way of thinking about decluttering. Instead of starting by deciding what to get rid of, she starts by removing most everything from the room. Then she creates what she calls a "hush." And when you can actually experience the room without all the visual noise, you can begin to see what belongs there much more clearly. It's a fascinating approach to decluttering, but it also made me think differently about decorating. Because sometimes decorating your home doesn't mean adding something. Sometimes the most powerful decorating decision you can make is to take something away. In This Episode What backwards decluttering is and how Myquillyn uses it to help you see your home differently How to "hush" a room by temporarily removing everything from it Why starting with an empty room can make it easier to decide what actually belongs The idea that every item in your home has a volume How to turn the "volume" of your home up or down What cozy minimalism really means Why a cozy home doesn't necessarily need more stuff How decluttering and decorating can actually work together Why the things you remove can sometimes have as much impact as the things you add The simple action Myquillyn wants you to take if you're ready to start decluttering Your Action Step Don't just listen to this episode and think, That was interesting. Go try it. Choose one room. And instead of immediately buying something to fix it, start by removing something. You don't have to empty the entire room if that feels overwhelming. You could start with one surface, one corner, or one category of stuff. Pay attention to what happens when you create a little more space. What feels quieter? What suddenly looks better? What do you actually miss? And what...well...you don't miss at all? That's information. And it might be the beginning of a much cozier home. About Myquillyn Smith Myquillyn Smith is a New York Times bestselling author and the creator behind a simpler approach to creating a beautiful, welcoming home.

Click here to send Lisa a message. I have been counting down the days for this one. Today I'm joined by my podcasting friend Stacey Hutson, host of The Next Phase Podcast — a show for ADHD moms entering perimenopause who are looking for less information and more peace. Stacey is a longtime podcaster, former advertising copywriter, wellness chef, and food blogger, and she lives in Golden, Colorado with her husband, two daughters, a dog, and a cat.We get into a lot in this one. Stacey walks me through the remodel her family went through after their kitchen and newly finished basement both flooded — and the insurance fight that came with it. From there, we talk about what actually got her decluttering after years of researching how to do it: a line from decluttering coach Dana K. White that reframed the whole thing — decluttering not to impress anyone, but so her home would stop holding her back.Stacey also breaks down why decluttering can look so different for an ADHD brain. It's rarely a lack of information — it's the doing. She shares her go-to tool, body doubling (working alongside someone else, even virtually, to actually get something done), plus her own honest, funny systems: doom baskets, timing herself, even filming herself decluttering her closet to make the process feel less overwhelming.We also talk about the emotional side of belongings — the boxes and bags we can't seem to let go of, and why it's okay to keep some things, too.If you've ever felt frozen staring at a junk drawer or a closet that's been quietly stressing you out, this episode is for you.Stacey is gifting listeners a video of her decluttering one of her own doom baskets in 20 minutes flat — body doubling in action.

Mike Switzer interviews Anne Marie Ashworth, a certified financial planner with Abacus Planning Group in Greenville, SC.

In this episode of Room to Grow, Joanie and Curtis learn about a new publication: Decluttering Mathematics: 5 Fundamental Understandings That Unleash Meaningful Student Thinking Grades 6-12. Three of the book's authors join us to share how that when secondary mathematics instruction is cluttered with disconnected procedures and a focus on computation without meaning, students are essential being handed a huge pile of tiny puzzle pieces without ever building or even seeing the picture on the puzzle box. Ted, Scott, and April call out the clutter and describe how educators can connect the disconnected and focus on what's important to allow students the opportunity to think, reason, and make sense of mathematics. In the conversation, the authors touch of the five fundamental understandings in the book: Measurement, Comparison, Proportional Relationships, Equivalence, and Graphical Representations, and provide examples of how and why attention to student thinking leads to better teaching and better student learning. Curtis and Joanie appreciated the approach of having students “think first; compute only if necessary,” and the idea of retiring some common topics to the “math attic.” The authors share their grounding the book in ways of thinking, ways of approaching, and ways of doing mathematics, all in the service of doing bigger things in math class.  Resources mentioned in this episode and ways to learn more:·       Order the book HERE or HERE or HERE·       Ted's website https://www.coequalmath.com/home and LinkedIn page https://www.linkedin.com/in/tedcoe/ ·       April's LinkedIn page https://www.linkedin.com/in/aprildstrom/ , BTC info page https://www.buildingthinkingclassrooms.com/team/april-strom ·       Scott's website https://www.scottadamsonmath.com/ and LinkedIn page https://www.linkedin.com/in/scott-adamson-465202327/ ·       James' website https://jamestantonmath.com/ and LinkedIn page https://www.linkedin.com/in/james-tanton-9920bb58/   Did you enjoy this episode of Room to Grow?

Send us Fan MailRain on the windows, cooler nights on the walk, and that first real craving for homemade soup. That's where my head is right now, and I wanted to check in and talk through the little life shifts that come with the season. I'm loving the weather, but I'm also laughing at how something as random as a skunk near my garage changed my entire summer routine and pushed me indoors way more than I like. From there, we get into full soup season mode: why I lean into one pot meals, how I try to cook from scratch with simple ingredients, and why shopping the perimeter of the grocery store keeps me feeling better (and keeps the kitchen decisions easier). I also share my fall clothing habits, including when shorts officially get retired in my house and why I'm quick to purge anything my son is outgrowing. Decluttering turns into a bigger conversation about giving things away without the stress. I talk about the flaky pickup problem, the messages that make you wonder if anyone read the post, and the one reliable Nextdoor connection that made donating kids' clothes feel genuinely good because I know they're getting used and loved. We also hit my vacation countdown, a crab feast weekend with my real estate board, a surprise birthday pop in that turned into dancing outside, and the moment I realized I somehow forgot my favorite Zumba class. If you're easing into fall, trying to reset your routines, or just want a cozy catch up, press play.

I thought I'd share something I realised the other day: I broke up with ChatGPT. After using it for about a year and a half alongside a brief stint with Claude, I looked at my digital space and asked myself which platform genuinely fits my lifestyle best. Since I already run so much of my life on Google Calendar, Drive, and Meet, it just made sense to make the move over to Google AI Plus and Gemini. Before closing my account, I had ChatGPT generate a detailed hand-off document to upload directly into Gemini. I've been busy curating custom gems ever since: my own AI chef tailored to recipes I love, a personal trainer, and spaces for financial abundance where I've fed in expert interviews I've hosted over the years. I'm still in the curation process, but that feels like the whole point. Every single detail in my life right now is being carefully, lovingly curated.We spend so much of our lives living for everyone else, forgetting who we are and what we actually want. After my hip replacement surgery six months ago, I had two months of enforced stillness followed by three intense months of decluttering and simplifying everything: my wardrobe, my skincare, my entire home. I love interior design and styling our space for the seasons, so right now it's all burnt orange, pumpkin-scented candles, and fairy lights for autumn, my soulmate season. But I've also noticed how easy it is to get drained when other people step into your space. After living on my own for over 22 years, hosting family recently made me realise how hard it is to let others in when you're so used to your own rhythms. Between perimenopause symptoms and sharing a small flat, I've had to be deeply intentional about carving out quiet, quality time for myself: even if that just means locking myself in my daughter's room with a candle, a bouquet of flowers, a cup of tea, and some chocolate.That same pull toward simplicity led me to look at how I live day-to-day. As much as I love smart tech, there's a sacred comfort in the old-fashioned, slow-living ways I grew up with: putting on a record, making tea in a proper teapot, playing board games, or just being present. When my mom passed away, I promised myself I wouldn't live like she did, constantly reheating the same morning cup of tea and never sitting down to enjoy it. When I visited family in Norway recently, it amazed me how many of them are still stuck in the exact same place I left them 18 years ago, living in unhappiness because they aren't willing to change. Breaking the cycle meant choosing not to remarry after my divorce and leaving Norway so I could stop living in survival mode. It gave me the freedom to build a life on my own terms, and I know my mom would be so proud that I broke those traditional expectations to be free.Living intentionally also means stripping away the excess that holds us back. Over the last six years, I've gotten rid of 90% of my belongings, unlearning the cultural mindset that more stuff equals more happiness. Now, Khushi and I keep our home curated to only what we actually use: two plates, two bowls, two cups, two glasses, and two pans. We don't save the best items for “someday” or for guests while using mediocre basics ourselves; I deserve to use my best cashmere jumper, my ceramic mug from Spain, and my favorite perfume every single day, because tomorrow is never guaranteed. Living well isn't about the big milestones; it's about having the daily freedom to wake up, write, walk, or go to Paris on a whim.I know there are quite a few ramblings in this live as I jump from topic to topic, but showing up on camera — mumbles, hot flashes, and all — is part of the practice. I'm learning to let go of control, release the guilt of unfinished plans, and simply go with the flow. My dream is to eventually host my own online TV show, and this raw, unedited step of getting on camera and sharing whatever is on my mind is where it all begins.Kiran xPS.

Decluttering isn't always about whether something is useful. Sometimes the hardest decisions are tied to your heart, your memories and your sense of identity.As you work through your belongings, ask yourself whether you're keeping something because you genuinely want it, or because you feel guilty about letting it go. You can love someone without keeping the gift they gave you, and you can honour a memory without keeping every physical reminder of it.Consider whether a photo, a story or a single representative item could preserve the memory while allowing you to let go of the quantity. You can also ask what you're actually afraid will happen if you get rid of something, and whether that fear is a good enough reason to keep it.Then look at what your possessions say about who you are. Are you keeping things because they represent who you used to be, or because of who you hope to become? Old hobbies, clothes that no longer fit, teaching resources from a previous career and things bought for an imagined future can all take up space in your home.You can also ask whether you would choose to own something if you were seeing it for the first time today, whether anyone would actually want it after you die, and perhaps the most exciting question of all: what are you making room for by getting rid of this?Sometimes decluttering isn't about losing something. It's about creating space for the life you want now.Dive into our 3 week mini series about 33 Decluttering QuestionsWeek one is about your homeWeek two is about your mindsetWeek three is about your heartUse the questions when you're decluttering as a tool for decision making!Download the 33 QuestionsYou may also like to listen to these episodes:33 Questions: Priority and Usefulness33 Questions: Future and RegretNeat vs TidyReducing VolumeWatch on YouTubehttps://youtu.be/tt9C_JxWzvIJoin my communityLeave a 5 Star Google ReviewFollow me on InstagramFollow me on FacebookJoin my Facebook group Hosted on Acast.

What if your home has been speaking to you all along?In this episode, I sit down with transformational coach and feng shui practitioner Elizabeth Armistead to explore how the spaces we live in often mirror what's happening beneath the surface. While many people think feng shui is simply about furniture placement or decluttering, Elizabeth shares a much deeper perspective. Our homes can reveal where we're holding onto old stories, where energy has become stagnant, and where we're being invited into our next chapter.We also talk about navigating life transitions, honoring grief instead of rushing through it, and how creating intentional spaces can help us reconnect with ourselves. Whether you're moving into a new home, considering a major life change, or simply feeling called to create more peace in your everyday environment, this conversation offers a beautiful reminder that transformation often begins much closer than we think.In this episode, we explore:What feng shui really means beyond organizing or decoratingHow your home reflects your emotional and spiritual lifeWhy your entryway matters more than you might realizeThe connection between clutter, identity, and personal transformationHow intentional spaces support healing during life transitionsElizabeth's approach to combining feng shui, coaching, and Gestalt psychologyWhy grief deserves space, dignity, and time instead of being rushedSimple ways to become more aware of the energy in your own homeLinks and Resources:Visit Elizabeth's Website: https://elizabetharmistead.comFollow Elizabeth on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/iamelizabetharmistead/Follow Elizabeth on Substack: https://elizabetharmistead.substack.com/Get Mystic Angel White Sage & Rose Smudge Spray: https://a.co/d/0eZ8POTqSometimes the changes we're searching for don't begin with a new plan. They begin with paying attention. Our homes, our habits, and even the things we've been holding onto may be quietly inviting us to let go, make space, and step into the next version of ourselves with greater intention.Adventure on!Send us Fan Mail Support the show✨ Join the Spiritual Horse Seeker Summit

The rooms we tend are shaping the lives lived within them. The meals prepared in our kitchens, conversations shared around our tables, prayers whispered beside beds, and people welcomed through our doors all help turn a house into a home. This quiet, faithful work may feel ordinary, but it creates a place of peace, belonging, and love. This week on The Love Offering Podcast, I’m talking with bestselling author Myquillyn Smith about her new book, House Hushing. Myquillyn offers such practical and freeing wisdom for creating a home that feels peaceful, personal, and full of soul—without filling it with more stuff or waiting until everything is perfect. In our conversation, we talk about: Quieting the visual noise that can leave us feeling overwhelmed “Decluttering backward” without immediately getting rid of anything Releasing the guilt attached to sentimental or gifted belongings Creating a home that tells the story of the people who live there Welcoming others before everything feels finished Choosing connection over perfection Myquillyn’s words reminded me that tending our homes is about more than decorating. It is an opportunity to faithfully steward what God has entrusted to us. Our homes don’t have to be perfect to have a beautiful purpose—they can become places where our families rest, friends feel safe, neighbors are welcomed, and Christ’s love is generously offered. I hope this conversation encourages you to see your home, and the faithful care you give it, with fresh eyes.

New York Times editor and Saying No to New author Eric Athas explores why our brains are drawn to novelty, how businesses remove the friction between desire and consumption, and why reclaiming a few moments to think could radically change the choices we make.From dopamine and social media to clutter, persuasion and the disappearing “new thing gap,” this conversation is ultimately about learning to say no to meaningless novelty so we can say yes to what actually matters.EXCITING STUFF!My second book now available for pre-order!

Do you ever worry your children are growing up surrounded by too much stuff and wonder how to break the cycle? What if you could raise kids who actually understand the value of less and feel empowered by decluttering? How do you support ageing parents through downsizing when you're not physically there to help?

Many people approach the task of organizing with our heads full of myths, urban legends, and flat-out lies we've collected from TV shows, mass-market books, well-meaning family members, and other people's entrenched beliefs. In episode #317 of The Clutter Fairy Weekly, Gayle Goddard, professional organizer and owner of The Clutter Fairy in Houston, Texas, uncovers the realities hiding behind common myths, misconceptions, and limiting beliefs that interfere with efforts to declutter and organize our stuff.Show notes: https://cfhou.com/tcfw317The Clutter Fairy Weekly is a live webcast and podcast designed to help you clear your clutter and make space in your home and your life for more of what you love. We meet Tuesdays at noon (U.S. Central Time) to answer your decluttering questions and to share organizing tools and techniques, success stories and “ah-hah!” moments, seasonal suggestions, and timeless tips.To participate live in our weekly webcast, join our Meetup group, follow us on Facebook, or subscribe to our mailing list.

Text your thoughts and questions!Have you ever downloaded a habit tracker, set an alarm for a new morning routine, or told yourself "this time it's going to stick," only to find yourself back where you started two weeks later? Lisa knows the feeling—and she knows you're not alone. Habits are one of the most talked-about topics in productivity and self-improvement, and also one of the most frustrating to actually live out. That's exactly why Lisa keeps coming back to this topic on the podcast.In this episode, Lisa isn't introducing new material—she's connecting the dots. She rounds up seven of the show's top habit-related episodes, giving you a flavor of each one so you can decide which to revisit in full. It's a look at how the conversation around habits has grown on the podcast, from the foundational framework in episode 15 all the way through the personality-based approach in episode 268.Lisa walks through where it all began in episode 15, leaning on Charles Duhigg and James Clear to explain what habits are and how the brain uses "chunking" to make decisions easier. From there, she revisits her strategy call with Katie Henson in episode 164, applying habit theory to a real morning routine and real life clutter. She covers episode 210's exploration of gratitude as a protective, habit-forming practice, and episode 225's four tips for rebuilding a habit after life disrupts it. She then connects episode 227's approach to habit stacking and keystone habits, episode 249's five energizing habits for sustainable productivity, and closes with episode 268's personality-based approach using the Big Five (OCEAN) traits. Throughout, Lisa ties it all back to self-awareness—the same foundation she introduced all the way back in episode 1.Habits, Lisa reminds us, aren't about willpower or discipline alone. They're about understanding how your brain works, designing your environment and expectations to support you, and building routines that flex with your actual life instead of demanding a version of you that doesn't exist on your hardest days.Key Takeaways:Discover the foundational framework from episode 15 for understanding how habits form and how the brain uses "chunking."Learn how episode 164 applied personality, environment, and timers to build a real, sustainable morning routine.Explore why gratitude (episode 210) functions as a protective factor and a tool for habit reversal training.Understand the concept of "friction" from episode 225 and four tips for rebuilding a habit after life gets in the way.Learn how habit stacking and anchoring (episode 227) help you link new habits to ones you already do automatically.Discover the five keystone habits from episode 249 that support energy management and sustainable productivity.Explore how the Big Five (OCEAN) personality traits from episode 268 help you design habits that fit who you actually are.Understand why self-awareness, first introduced in episode 1, is the real foundation of effective habit building.Thank you for listening!

From tidying up his apartment to cleaning up on social media. Tidy Dad is everywhere. Tyler Moore aka Tidy Dad is a New York City school teacher, husband and father of three.  The "dadfluencer"  started sharing his hacks for keeping his family's 750 square foot apartment tidy on his Instagram page and website.  Tyler's ruthless attacks on clutter rack up hundreds of thousands of views and Tidy Dad became a thing. He's a frequent guest on morning news shows and is frequently featured as a lifestyle expert in magazines and online. His book, Tidy Up Your Life: Rethinking How to Organize Clutter, and Make Space for What Matters Most, is a best seller.  Tidy Dad has evolved into a full-on lifestyle brand in a space dominated by women. Tyler says fans often assume he can't handle a mess. "I can deal with a mess. I can tackle it and figure out what to do to problem solve it so it doesn't really happen again. But for me, I'm all about making space for what actually matters. Like I don't want to spend all of my time looking for something, or all of my time cleaning my house," says Tyler. Having an organized home creates the space to enjoy the rest of life. Tyler says, "That's the foundation of my organizing work. But yes, you Google "tidy" and you get Marie Kondo, and then you get me, which I think is great." On this Dying to Ask: How Tyler turned decluttering his tiny New York City apartment into a viral lifestyle brand Why physical clutter leads to mental clutter and family conflict Small ways to organize your home to make room for what really matters in your life And some of the weird opportunities that have come Tyler's way since becoming the internet's favorite neat freak Chapters 00:00 Introduction to Tyler Moore, the Tidy Dad 02:11 The chaos that led to a lifestyle change 04:20 Decluttering as a response to mental clutter 05:37 The importance of living in 'just enough' 08:13 Rethinking tidying beyond Marie Kondo 09:35 Seasonal decluttering and timing tips 11:01 How to start decluttering effectively 15:46 The connection between mental and physical clutter 20:42 The growth of the Tidy Dad movement 27:15 Lifestyle beyond organization: health, wellness, and joy 34:11A simple journaling practice for clarity 36:18 The impact of a calm morning on family life 38:42 Staying connected with the Tidy Dad community    

You tell yourself that you're going to get your life together - drink more water, journal, exercise, declutter. You do great for a few days and then your kid gets sick, or there's an emergency at work. You feel like a failure and wonder if you can ever create habits that will actually stick. If this sounds familiar, don't despair. Traditional habits wisdom, largely created by men, fails women because it ignores invisible labor and praises consistency that relies on perfection. Monica Packer is a mom of five and the founder of About Progress, a top-rated podcast about adopting progress over perfection. She has served thousands of women online as a certified habits and identity coach. In this episode, we dive into her new book Sticky Habits: A Woman's Guide to Reclaim Happiness, Ditch Perfectionism, and Create Habits That Last. We chat about: why women feel like failures when trying to follow traditional habits advice a different definition of consistency that takes the unpredictability of womens' lives into account the 4 S's that make habits sticky why tying identity with habits is an integral piece many habits experts miss ...and much more!

Hey Friends! In this guided mindful decluttering session, we focus on the extra bedroom—whether it's a guest room, child's room, or catch-all space. You'll choose your where and when, gather a few simple supplies, and then use breath, body, and sensory awareness to help you stay present while sorting and letting go. We'll also use a simple question to guide decisions: What actually participates in the life of this room? And throughout the practice, come back to: One breath. One object. One decision.

Text me your thoughts or questions on this episode!Myquillyn Smith is a lifelong home-lover, three-time guest, and the author of House Hushing — you might know her as The Cozy Minimalist. In this conversation, she walks me through backwards decluttering: her method for clearing a room down to almost nothing, living in it that way for a day or two, and only letting things back in once you've proven you actually miss them.Somewhere in the middle of it, I found myself naming something that's been rattling around in my head for years. Myquillyn trusts the gut — how does the room feel — and I love that. But I also love having one very literal, stopwatch-able way to check the gut's math: if it takes you more than ten minutes to get a room back to feeling right, you have too much stuff in it. Not too much by anyone else's count. Too much for you. I'm calling it the Ten-Minute Threshold, and once you start using it, you can't stop measuring every room in your house by it.We also get into her three categories of “soulful objects” — past, present, and future — worth keeping around, and why the goal was never to own less. It's to own only what earns its place.Support the show and subcribe here: https://slowstylehome.supercast.com!

What if the clutter in your home is costing you more than just space?If you've ever looked around your house and felt instantly overwhelmed by the piles, laundry, papers, toys, and stuff everywhere, this episode is for you.Today, I'm talking with Deanna Yates, recovering perfectionist, busy mom, and host of the top-ranked Wannabe Clutter Free podcast. Deanna helps high-achieving moms clear the clutter from their homes and lives so they can create spaces that actually support them instead of draining them.And this conversation isn't about having a Pinterest-perfect house.We're talking about how clutter affects your mental load, energy, focus, and productivity—and how letting go of the things you don't need can make everyday life feel so much easier.Deanna shares why perfectionism can make our homes feel harder to live in, how visual clutter quietly drains our energy, and why you absolutely do NOT need an entire weekend to start decluttering.We also talk about:The difference between a home that looks good and one that actually feels goodWhy clutter can become a constant visual to-do listHow to declutter in just 5–10 minutes at a timeDeanna's simple five-minute family tidyHow to tackle sentimental items without feeling guiltyWhy keeping fewer meaningful items can actually make them more specialHow to get your family involved so Mom isn't the keeper of all the thingsThe ridiculously simple “declutter box” you can start todayIf you've been telling yourself you'll deal with the clutter when you finally have an entire free Saturday, Deanna is going to give you permission to start much, much smaller.Because your home doesn't need to be perfect. It needs to work for the people actually living in it.Text us your feedback or questions!Stay connected!Join us in The Supermom Society!

As the kids gear up for another exciting school year, it's the perfect time to hit reset on our home organization. This episode dives deep into the art of transforming our spaces into functional havens that can withstand the chaos of family life. We're revisiting some stellar tips and tricks we picked up over the summer for decluttering and organizing, with insights from expert Shelby Cornette, the original Neat Freak herself! We chat about everything from tackling the dreaded playroom to creating a zen-like kitchen space, all while keeping things light and fun. So grab your favorite cozy drink, kick back, and let's get our homes ready for fall—because nothing says "back to school" like a well-organized space! As summer days fade and the school year kicks off, there's no better time to tackle the clutter that's been slowly creeping in. In this laid-back yet insightful chat, we dive into the art of home organization, especially as kids are returning to school and fall is just around the corner. Think of this as your organizational pep talk from friends who totally get it. We weave through the challenges parents face when trying to maintain order amidst the chaos of backpacks, lunchboxes, and all the other school paraphernalia. Let's be real, when those little darlings bring home every single piece of paper from art class, it can feel like a tsunami of chaos. But fear not! We've got some practical tips and tricks that will not only help you reclaim your space but also keep your sanity intact. It's all about creating a system that works for your family, one that doesn't just look good on Instagram but is functional enough to make your daily life smoother. We even get into the nitty-gritty of how to approach organizing with kids in tow, turning clean-up time into a fun game rather than a chore. So grab that half-empty coffee cup and settle in; it's time to get your home ready for fall!Takeaways:As the kiddos head back to school, it's the perfect time to tackle the clutter monster lurking in our homes and get organized for fall.Decluttering isn't just about throwing stuff away; it's a mental journey that requires readiness and the right mindset to make lasting changes.Professional organizers like Shelby emphasize creating systems that actually fit your unique lifestyle, rather than forcing a one-size-fits-all approach.Kitchens and closets are the top spaces where people feel overwhelmed, making them prime candidates for a little organizational TLC this back-to-school season.Remember, organizing is not just about aesthetics; it's about creating functional spaces that allow you to live your best life without the mess.If you're moving, don't forget that a solid plan and organization can turn a stressful experience into a smooth transition, setting you up for success in your new digs.Links referenced in this episode:aroundthehouseonline.comneatfreakco.comwendyglaisterinteriors.comThanks for listening to Around the house if you want to hear more please subscribe so you get notified of the latest episode as it posts at https://around-the-house-with-e.captivate.fm/listenIf you want to join the Around the House Insider for access to the back catalog, Exclusive Content and a direct email to Eric G and access to the show early https://around-the-house-with-e.captivate.fm/support We love comments and we would love reviews on how this information has helped you on your house!

Does the thought of decluttering feel exhausting before you've even started? Do we *really* need marathon weekends and big purges to do this "right"? And how do you make actual progress in a season where getting dinner on the table already feels like a lot? I'm answering all of it in today's episode, plus the exact questions and strategies to use so you can keep making progress, even on the days you've got nothing left.

What if the biggest difference between you and an organized woman isn't how much stuff she owns or how naturally organized she is? What if she simply believes being organized is possible for her? In this episode, I'm sharing the secret I think organized women know about decluttering and why that belief changes everything about the way you approach your stuff. When you doubt that you'll ever really be organized, every unfinished project, difficult decision, or cluttered room can become more evidence that you're “just not an organized person.” You start, stop, question yourself, get overwhelmed, and eventually give up. But organization is a skill you can learn and practice. You don't have to organize your whole house to be organized. Every time you make a decision, declutter for 15 minutes, assign something a home, reset a space, or resume after stopping, you're practicing being an organized person. We'll also talk about another powerful shift: decluttering from your life forward instead of from your stuff backward. Instead of picking up an item and asking, “Should I get rid of this?” try getting clear about the life you want to live, the season you're in, and who you're becoming. Then ask, “Does this deserve space in that life?” In this episode, you'll learn: Why believing organization is possible for you matters How decluttering actually helps you become more organized Why decluttering is really a decision-making practice How fear, scarcity, memories, and regret make decisions harder Why your current season of life can help you decide what stays How your future identity can become a decluttering filter The difference between stuff that supports your identity and stuff that simply proves your identity Why you don't have to finish an entire project for your organizing efforts to count How to use 15 minutes to get clear on what you want your home and life to support I also share the story of my client Cheryl, who had to declutter to move into her dream retirement home. The payoff wasn't simply having less stuff. It was having a home she loves, a guest room her grandkids can actually use, and the freedom to enjoy this season of her life. As you listen, consider these questions: What am I making room for? Who am I choosing to be in this season? Does this support the life I want to live? You don't need to wait until your whole house is organized to become an organized person. You become her while you practice. One decision, one space, and one 15-minute session at a time.

Have you ever felt the frustration that comes from buying something, bringing it home, and then discovering you already owned it?Maybe it was hiding at the back of a cupboard. Maybe you forgot about it completely. Maybe you knew you had one somewhere, but finding it was more effort than simply buying another.Those moments can feel small, but they say a lot about the hidden ways clutter costs us money.In this episode, I'm sharing what happened when I started a Financial Wins Challenge inside Clutter Free Collective. I thought it would be a fun experiment in saving money and becoming more aware of our shopping habits. I didn't expect it to reveal quite so clearly how much our home clutter, belongings, habits, and spending are connected.And once we started paying attention, the financial wins began showing up everywhere.As we discuss what happened, you'll learn:How clutter can lead to unnecessary spending and why decluttered items can create unexpected financial wins.Why being able to see and find what you own makes saving money much easier.How small changes to your shopping habits add up to meaningful savings over time.Why your fridge, cupboards, paperwork, subscriptions, and storage spaces are probably affecting your money awareness.How impulse spending contributes to clutter, especially for women with ADHD.Why organizing products isn't always the solution when your home already feels full.How becoming more aware of what you own helps you make better decisions without guilt or deprivation.Why addressing home clutter changes the way you think about what you buy, use, keep, and waste.If you want to become more intentional about your shopping habits, and see the connection between your home and your finances in a completely different way, this episode is for you.Here's to noticing what you already own,Carolineps. Once you start looking, you'll be surprised by how much money is hiding in your home.Thanks for listening!

She frames simplifying as two jobs rather than one, changing daily habits and then removing the excess, and recommends working category by category through the kitchen before moving to any other room, with sentimental items saved for last. Her three questions for each item turn minimalism into a practical test of whether a possession actually supports the life someone wants to live. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://nourishingminimalism.com/where-start-decluttering/ Quotes to ponder: "We're not rearranging, we're not reorganizing- no, we're removing it from our lives."

We continue our journey unpacking the rooms of faith by looking at 'church' – a big word, with so many meanings. But what is it really? Is it just people talking about God? What about things like communion? We discuss the necessity of community, the fundamental practices of faith and, most importantly, reflect on what Christian Gandalf has to say on the matter.

Do you feel overwhelmed in your home, even after you've decluttered? It may be that you need to “hush” it instead. Today I'm speaking to bestselling author Myquillyn Smith about her new book House Hushing: The Simple Method to Declutter and Decorate for a More Peaceful Home. Hushing your home isn't just about decluttering - it also quiet decorating, soulful styling, and living seasonally. It's about finding harmony and being able to hear what your house is saying to you. Myquillyn and I discuss: - why backwards decluttering is the high-reward, low-risk approach you've been looking for - how quiet decorating allows us turn down the volume of our house without getting rid of things - how to create a soulful home over time by layering in soul of the past, present, and futur - the edit/audit and plan/pick aspects of living seasonally and how to intentionally choose how you want to live in this season Go to Amazon or your favorite book retailer to get your copy of the book…or check below to see how to enter the book giveaway.   Resources Mentioned: I have a beautiful hardback copy of House Hushing I want to gift to you.
