Podcasts about home organizing

Hey Collectors! We all have items that we would rather keep to ourselves, right? SO what if you are going to have house cleaners or professional organizers come over? What do you do with that stuff? It's nothing to be ashamed about, we are all adults here. I promised to be irreverent so here we are ya'll.   Tip #1 The nightstand is a great place to hide stuff. Tip #2 It's ok to tell people not to work in certain areas. We all have an idea of where not to go. TIP #3 If you have your kinky stuff all around the house collect it together and then put it into your nightstand.  Stop letting your anxiety of what we might find hold you back from having your home organized. WE have seen it all. Believe me. It's nothing to be embarrased and ashamed about. And guess what? There is actually a place where it belongs.  Are you a member of our facebook group yet?

Did you know that a cluttered home can contribute to stress, reduce productivity, and even impact overall well-being? This week on Room by Room: The Home Organization Science Insights Podcast, host Sabrina Oktavelia sits down with Oluwaseyi Popogbe to discuss the crucial role of sanitation in maintaining a functional and harmonious home. As a seasoned Economics lecturer and researcher with over a decade of academic experience, Oluwaseyi Popogbe specializes in Development Economics, Environmental Economics, and Monetary Economics. Her work sheds light on the vulnerabilities of the urban poor, highlighting the impact of limited education, health challenges, and inadequate living standards on sanitation and home organization. In this episode, Sabrina and Oluwaseyi Popogbe dive into the importance of shared responsibility in keeping a home clutter-free. They explore how a lack of understanding of sanitation, especially in lower-income households, can contribute to declining living conditions. Additionally, they discuss actionable strategies for creating an organized home, including seeking support for those who struggle with cleaning—such as individuals with mental health challenges—so they can eventually maintain their space independently. Tune in to this episode for practical insights on turning home organization into a collective effort and fostering a healthier, more organized living space!

Are you driving a car, or conducting a train? Today's episode is about your home organizing train.  It takes a lot of effort to stop a train. When you are productive, have a lot of impact, and your life is up and running - you get a couple of unexpected events coming at you but can take the first few of them in stride.  When you are driving a car, there's only so much you can handle. You only have so much capacity, although that car moves fast and is nimble. You can stop it easily, pivot or turn around. The size of your car, how fast it is, how much gas you can keep in the tank has a limit. A train doesn't start or stop very fast - but once you lay those tracks and build those train cars, you can go really far really fast without a lot of effort.  How do you lay the tracks and build the cars? Organizing. Creating and maintaining systems, habits, and productivity at home and work. Once you have those established - which is going to take a while - the only thing that will derail you are really big life events. These can be catastrophic: like a medical diagnosis, a divorce, or someone passes away. Or they can be happy events: getting pregnant, getting married, moving to a new home. Your train will also slow down and speed up during the Golden Windows of a calendar year. You will need to slow down and "come into the station" at the end of each quarter at work and each trimester at home. This is the piece I was missing that I am going to share with you.  You have to establish your systems, routines, and habits that your train will run on; otherwise you can't have the train. You must establish these first, so your train has something to run on. If not, then you're stuck in the car. When you're driving a car, you're just on roads that have been established by other people and you decide in which order you want to take those roads that somebody else created. You have to stop at every red light, decide whether to turn right or left, take the highway or the back roads. Constantly making all these decisions unnecessarily.  Now that you have the engine, it's time to build those train cars. Your first one is the Sunday Basket®. You must become a master at delaying your decision making. You plan your week and stop being pulled by every single decision that comes at you. The next train cars are personal, storage, family, and paper organization - which happens within The Productive Home Solution®. Remember, each of these train cars are going to take a couple of months to build. They will need regular maintenance. This takes discipline and the right mindset. Every car needs to be decluttered and organized every trimester at home. At first, it's going to take more time. To establish the train tracks, move from a car to a locomotive, put the cars on the track, and get the train up to speed takes at least three years. This realization is such a buzzkill, I know. Don't get discouraged though, it's not like it takes this long to see any positive changes. You can run that train at 50% after a year and it's still going to be better than what you had before! But to make the impact you want and need, those train cars need to be running at 80-90% organized so they are running strictly on maintenance. A train that is running on maintenance pulls into the depot and you go through it car by car - this is what happens during Planning Days, and now during the new Prep Event I've created. You will revisit each of your train cars - the Sunday Basket®, your personal, storage, family, and paper. If you are this far in organizing, this will feel weird. You will think that you need to tear it apart and start all over each time. But you know the math: you've subtracted by decluttering, added in what you need, multiplied for productivity and now you're in division. You don't have to start all over again. Even if you have a major event, you can go through it all again - but it will go so much faster.  Moving to a train is a purposeful, disciplined act that requires you to grow organizing muscles, to think long-term instead of short-term, to think strategically instead of giving into immediate gratification. Once you learn this, you will have the skill set with you for the rest of your life.  EPISODE RESOURCES: Sunday Basket® The Productive Home Solution® Organize 365® Home Planning Day Sign up for the Newsletter Did you enjoy this episode?

If you have been here for more than two seconds, you know I've been interviewing Kim of Rustic Home Organizing in Portland, Oregon, every year, since she brand new in starting her professional organizing business out. This is her year two recap what she has learned.  Kim has so much wisdom to share. And one of the things that I love is that Kim has stayed really flexible about her business. She has changed when she needed to. She has pivoted when she needed to, she has admitted her mistakes. She has a lot of great lessons for people, whether you are brand new, starting out, or whether you've been in business for a long time.  I always enjoy catching up with Kim. She has a great sense of humor. She's a great person and more than anything, she loves to help other organizers really realize that this is a business that they can start and that they can be a part of.  One of the stories that I loved of Kim was she got a dozen eggs as one of her first payments. And then she moved up to having multiple $10,000 plus months. And that's a part of a journey in organizing—just reminding you that you can start small and then end up big. There are so many ways that you can work this business to make it work for you and to achieve your goals.  All right, let's get started with my second conversation with Kim.

I first interviewed Kim two years ago when her business was BRRAAANNNDD new. In her first year, once she got paid by a client with a dozen eggs. Fast forward two years later--and she had her first (and second, and third) $10,000 month in her business, Rustic Home Organizing.  Kim is giving us all the details on her second year in business--and no matter where you are in your organizing business, there is so much to learn here!  LINKS FOR LISTENERS: Get connected with Kim: www.rhorganizing.com Join our Organizing Essentials course, open until Valentine's Day: https://www.inspiredorganizer.com/offers/uYMgvH4F

Time capsule for organizers--open! It's a little bit of a rewind week but here's why! I started something a couple of years ago, with someone in our Inspired Organizer® group who was brand new--she had just started her business and I wanted to interview her about taking the leap into organizing. And then almost exactly a year later, I interviewed her again and learned about what the reality of that first year was--what are some things that went great? What are some things that you wish you had done differently? And then the other day, I interviewed her at the end of her second year, as she goes into her third year--so those brand new episodes will be up this week. But I wanted to do this rewind to remind all of us where she came from and what her journey is--there is so much good stuff here to hear all over again!  Rewind epsiode 1, this one, is when she was brand new. Rewind episode 2 is up now as well--after her first year in business (episode 178.) Current 2024 update after 2 years of organizing are episodes 179 and 180.  Thanks for listening to the Pro Organizer Studio Podcast!  LINK FOR LISTENERS: Connect with Melissa: email hello@proorganizerstudio.com Learn more about Pro Organizer Studio: Click here

Are you driving a car, or conducting a train? Today's episode is about your home organizing train.  It takes a lot of effort to stop a train. When you are productive, have a lot of impact, and your life is up and running - you get a couple of unexpected events coming at you but can take the first few of them in stride.  When you are driving a car, there's only so much you can handle. You only have so much capacity, although that car moves fast and is nimble. You can stop it easily, pivot or turn around. The size of your car, how fast it is, how much gas you can keep in the tank has a limit. A train doesn't start or stop very fast - but once you lay those tracks and build those train cars, you can go really far really fast without a lot of effort.  How do you lay the tracks and build the cars? Organizing. Creating and maintaining systems, habits, and productivity at home and work. Once you have those established - which is going to take a while - the only thing that will derail you are really big life events. These can be catastrophic: like a medical diagnosis, a divorce, or someone passes away. Or they can be happy events: getting pregnant, getting married, moving to a new home. Your train will also slow down and speed up during the Golden Windows of a calendar year. You will need to slow down and "come into the station" at the end of each quarter at work and each trimester at home. This is the piece I was missing that I am going to share with you.  You have to establish your systems, routines, and habits that your train will run on; otherwise you can't have the train. You must establish these first, so your train has something to run on. If not, then you're stuck in the car. When you're driving a car, you're just on roads that have been established by other people and you decide in which order you want to take those roads that somebody else created. You have to stop at every red light, decide whether to turn right or left, take the highway or the back roads. Constantly making all these decisions unnecessarily.  Now that you have the engine, it's time to build those train cars. Your first one is the Sunday Basket®. You must become a master at delaying your decision making. You plan your week and stop being pulled by every single decision that comes at you. The next train cars are personal, storage, family, and paper organization - which happens within The Productive Home Solution®. Remember, each of these train cars are going to take a couple of months to build. They will need regular maintenance. This takes discipline and the right mindset. Every car needs to be decluttered and organized every trimester at home. At first, it's going to take more time. To establish the train tracks, move from a car to a locomotive, put the cars on the track, and get the train up to speed takes at least three years. This realization is such a buzzkill, I know. Don't get discouraged though, it's not like it takes this long to see any positive changes. You can run that train at 50% after a year and it's still going to be better than what you had before! But to make the impact you want and need, those train cars need to be running at 80-90% organized so they are running strictly on maintenance. A train that is running on maintenance pulls into the depot and you go through it car by car - this is what happens during Planning Days, and now during the new Prep Event I've created. You will revisit each of your train cars - the Sunday Basket®, your personal, storage, family, and paper. If you are this far in organizing, this will feel weird. You will think that you need to tear it apart and start all over each time. But you know the math: you've subtracted by decluttering, added in what you need, multiplied for productivity and now you're in division. You don't have to start all over again. Even if you have a major event, you can go through it all again - but it will go so much faster.  Moving to a train is a purposeful, disciplined act that requires you to grow organizing muscles, to think long-term instead of short-term, to think strategically instead of giving into immediate gratification. Once you learn this, you will have the skill set with you for the rest of your life.  EPISODE RESOURCES: Sunday Basket® Business Friday Workbox® The Productive Home Solution® The Productive Home Solution® Planning Day Workbook Monthly Subscription Plan Kids Program The Productive Home Solution® Planning Day Prep Sign up for the Newsletter Did you enjoy this episode?
