Join Me for the 12-Day Homeschool Mom Self-Care Challenge A homeschool mom self-care challenge that honours you. Homeschool mama, I see you. December is here, and it feels like an avalanche of ALL the things.Every month as a homeschool mom is full, but December? It's a whole new level. You're trying to finish things up, or you’re moving into a unit study on Christmas, you’re purchasing, prepping, planning, and playing—and you just added a part time-job to your full-time job. But as a homeschool mama, when December rolls around, mama ain’t looking after herself, she’s looking, after ALL the things. And though ALL the things are a whole lot of things EVERY other month, December’s ALL the things is an exponential set of things. Though you’re trying to do all the things, fulfill the expectations, and make it magical for your kids, you can’t do a little bit more if you didn’t already incorporate an approach to maintain margins and pursue purposeful living. That's why I'm inviting you to join me for the 12-Day Self-Care Challenge for Homeschool Moms. This isn't another TO DO list. It's a TO GIVE list—a way to give back to yourself. Join the 12 Day Self-Care Challenge Why Self-Care Matters As homeschool moms, we have a unique calling. We're deeply present with our kids, invested in their well-being, and working hard to create meaningful memories and learning experiences. We savor moments of: Watching our kids harmoniously play together (sometimes). Cheering them on as they tackle new challenges. Seeing their excitement as they pursue new interests. Building lifelong memories as a family. But there's another side to this season: The constant stream of emotions (theirs and ours). Sibling squabbles. Complaints and meltdowns. And, of course, the never-ending mundane tasks—laundry, dishes, meals, and errands. Even when we handle these challenges with grace, the emotional and mental investment is enormous. Add the holidays to the mix, and it's no wonder we feel stretched thin. The Secret Ingredient to a (more) Peaceful Holiday Season Here's the thing: you matter too. Your well-being is not just an afterthought—it's the foundation of a happy family life and a peaceful holiday season. Self-care: Refills your energy so you can approach the holidays with calm and joy. Models healthy balance and boundaries for your children. Helps you manage stress and let go of perfection. Strengthens your emotional resilience to handle challenges with patience and grace. Creates space for joy and presence, helping you savor the small, magical moments. When you care for yourself, you're giving your family the best gift of all—a peaceful, grounded, and joyful mama. What You'll Get in the 12-Day Challenge In just fifteen minutes a day—maybe even five—you'll explore simple, practical self-care strategies that fit into your busy December. These strategies aren't just for the holidays; they're tools to carry into the new year, helping you nurture yourself and your family with greater ease and satisfaction. By the end of these 12 days, you'll feel: More energized. More connected to yourself. And more at peace as you move through this beautiful, busy season. And so we must take care of ourselves. Join the 12 Days of Homeschool Mom Self-Care Challenge Join Me—You Deserve This So, homeschool mama, this is your invitation to take a breath, step back, and remember that you are worth nurturing. Let's do this together. This December, give yourself the gift of care, calm, and connection. Join the 12-Day Self-Care Challenge for Homeschool Moms and rediscover the joy of the season—not just for your family, but for you too. Just fifteen minutes a day. You've got this.

In this podcast, we discuss: Google Aluminium OS," a potential merger of Android and ChromeOS designed to bring a premium, AI-first experience to desktop devices. The hosts also explore practical AI applications, discussing significant updates to NotebookLM—such as Deep Research and new source support—and how these tools can be optimized for teaching workflows. This episode also introduces a new segment called "Ctrl-Keep-Delete," a Marie Kondo-style guide for tech enthusiasts looking to declutter their gadget collections. On the personal front, the conversation turns to "Holiday Pivots," where the hosts share strategies for adapting when seasonal plans fall apart. The episode wraps up with their top gadget picks for 2025: Jon recommends the Plaud NotePin for AI meeting transcriptions, Sven highlights the MuteMe physical button for managing Zoom calls, and Todd endorses the Logitech Flip Folio for iPad productivity.

In this episode, we discuss "Is the scientific paper a fraud?" by Sir Peter Medawar.  Shownotes Medawar, P. (1999). Is the scientific paper a fraud?

The footnote reads: "Like many consumers, we were inspired by Marie Kondo to declutter our homes—and also to conduct this research! Note that our work is not a test of the KonMari method per se but rather an investigation of ideas—on dis/order, waste aversion, and selection/rejection (as these quotes illustrate)—inspired by her writing and the surprising lack of research on downsizing."

Marie Kondo: The Joy of Letting Go The Path of Radical Simplicity continues. In this episode, we honor Marie Kondo, the tidying consultant who proved that true simplicity is about keeping only what sparks joy. We explore the KonMari Method and how letting go of possessions frees us from emotional clutter.

In this wide-ranging and heartfelt conversation, KonMari Club teacher Patty Morrissey sits down with Tara Brach to explore what spirituality truly means. Together, they reflect on the qualities of spiritually awake people, the foundational habits that sustain a vibrant inner life, and the surprising role of humor on the path. They also delve into how tidiness—a central practice in the KonMari Method—can either express control or become a liberating act of presence and care. With two short guided meditations woven in, this interview offers practical nourishment for living in a way that aligns with your deepest heart.

Not everything in life has to spark joy. Sometimes, joy simply lives in having what you need—clean underwear, a steady paycheck, a safe home, a quiet moment to breathe. It doesn't have to be perfect to be enough. Because “Good enough” isn't the same as settling for harm; it's about recognizing what supports you right now. The wisdom lies in knowing when something's serving you and when it's time to lovingly let it go.

Halloween was always a bit rough for me. Free candy's great, but how do you put a costume on top of the costume of the cis person people tell you that you have to be? Even when I had a costume, I was terrified of using any makeup or hair dye... because what I was really afraid of is that I would LIKE those things, and then what would that say about me?

After decades of therapy, self-help books, and mental health work, I still didn't know what "fun" felt like. Then I asked ChatGPT one honest question about my problems and the response changed everything. This isn't about replacing your therapist. It's about using AI as the sherpa your therapist can't be. The one that gives you the action plan, not just the validation. In this episode, we break down: ✅ How to prompt AI like a life coach (not a search engine) ✅ Why maintenance ≠ joy (and why that matters) ✅ The permission you've been waiting for to prioritize ease over achievement ✅ How to Marie Kondo your digital life and actually find what brings you peace If you've been stuck in the loop of "self-care" that feels like work, this one's for you.

Marie Kondo's unique approach to organising our lives and our homes has transformed the relationship we have with the objects around us, helping us all to seek out the joy in our daily lives. In the eleven years since The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up made her famous across the globe, journalists, readers and fans have asked her one question more than any other: what role did Japanese philosophy and culture play in shaping her life and thought? Here, Marie shares her principles for living, and reveal how the traditions of her homeland can help all of us to spark joy. She shares personal insights into her upbringing, family and career, and explores how Japanese people often combine an ultramodern lifestyle with deep respect for ancient customs and traditions.

President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine is in Washington ahead of crucial talks with Donald Trump. The meeting comes a day after Mr Trump spoke on the phone with Vladimir Putin -- and agreed to hold a summit in Hungary to discuss how to end the war. On his arrival, Mr Zelensky said Moscow was rushing to the negotiating table to stop America from supplying long-range Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine.Also in the programme: The second highest general in China has been removed and faces corruption charges along with eight other senior military officials; and we hear from Marie Kondo, who became famous by teaching us how to tidy up.(Photo: A handout photo made available by Ukrainian Presidential Press Service shows US President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky meeting at the United Nations headquarters in New York, 23 September 2025.

Have you ever felt like life has you wearing a 200-pound emotional backpack labeled “Christian womanhood”? In this episode, I unpack (literally) the toxic beliefs that are holding us back using a metaphorical story about a woman who wants to run, but can't. Because, surprise! She's lugging around spiritual abuse disguised as Bible truths.You'll meet Sarah, a fictional but oh-so-familiar woman who stands at the edge of a running trail, paralyzed by invisible weights. Enter Elena, the wise older woman who helps her go full Marie Kondo on her belief system. You'll want to tattoo some of Elena's one-liners on your forearm. (Okay maybe just put them on sticky notes.)Key Takeaways:Toxic beliefs often come wrapped in spiritual language. Just because it came from a pulpit or your well-meaning Aunt Kathy doesn't make it true or helpful.You're allowed to question what you've been taught. Especially if what you've been taught keeps you silent, stuck, or scared.Jesus didn't ask you to carry a crushing load. He said His yoke is easy. Your religious trauma backpack is not that.Replacing lies with truth doesn't mean you're sinning. It means you're healing.Read the full show notes and/or ask Natalie a question hereRelated Resources:Here are some other related Flying Free Podcast episodes: “12 Life-Changing Beliefs That Will Unhook You From Abuse” and “The Beliefs that Keep Christian Women Stuck in Abusive Marriages.”

In this deeply personal and insight-packed solo episode, Kristen shares a powerful reflection on what she calls “dumpster decisions”—those all-or-nothing moves we make when we're on the brink of burnout or buried in overwhelm. Drawing from her own journey of business pivots, personal healing, and rediscovery, Kristen opens up about how she threw away more than she needed to, only to later return and reclaim what still sparked joy.She walks listeners through the difference between rage cleaning your life and intentionally evaluating what still serves your evolving self. Along the way, she delivers relatable stories, thoughtful metaphors (hello, Marie Kondo and Harry Potter's phoenix!), and a massive announcement that longtime listeners will love.Spoiler alert: She's officially back in the weekly coaching chair—and you're invited.What You'll Hear in This Episode:What “dumpster decisions” are and why we make them during burnoutHow Kristen's business and personal life were shaped by burnout recoveryThe importance of honoring your evolution without shameHow your nervous system holds the key to better habits, performance, and joyThe birth of Sondera, Kristen's newest company helping people regulate, realign, and riseA sneak peek into the tools, coaching, and transformation waiting inside her new membershipThe full-circle moment: Kristen's return to live weekly coaching (and how you can join!)Key Takeaways:Burnout doesn't always mean burning everything down.Regulating your nervous system is the missing link between knowing what to do and actually doing it.Sometimes, the things you walked away from still belong with you—you just needed space to see it.Sustainable success is rooted in self-awareness, alignment, and nervous system integration.Special Announcement

Social media feeds are built to keep you scrolling, but at what cost to your focus and wellbeing?   Dr. Andrew Fix sits down with Bryan Dobkin, a Principal People Scientist with expertise in organizational psychology, workforce strategy, and the future of work, to unpack how AI and social media shape the way we think, feel, and connect. Bryan is passionate about building systems that help people do their best work, and he brings that same lens to how technology influences our everyday lives.   From the way algorithms decide what shows up in our feeds to the rise of tools like ChatGPT, Bryan explains why our digital “diet” matters more than we realize. He shares practical steps for better digital hygiene, from muting the noise in your feed to setting limits on addictive apps, and examples of using AI intentionally, like creating custom bedtime stories for his three boys. Along the way, he highlights the simple drivers of fulfillment at work: growth, impact, and surrounding yourself with the right people.   With clarity and candor, Bryan shows how AI can either drain us or serve us — and what it takes to choose the difference.   Quotes "The technology itself is neither good nor bad. Technology is a tool and how we choose to use it, how we choose to let it influence us or the  kind of impact that we let it have on us." (10:40 | Bryan Dobkin) "Feeds are optimized for engagement. They're not optimized for well-being in any sense of the word." (24:14 | Bryan Dobkin) "We are up against industrial grade reinforcement loops. These are massive companies that are doing everything in their power to capture our attention and to keep us engaging with whatever content they want us to." (25:00 | Bryan Dobkin) “Curate your feed like you curate your home. Remove what doesn't serve you. People may remember during the pandemic, there was Marie Kondo. She got really popular…she had that quote, right? If it doesn't bring you joy, let it go. Get rid of it. The same is true of your online experience. Try to curate, and it doesn't have to necessarily be joy, but what is serving you in a productive way and what is not.” (26:26 | Bryan Dobkin) “Notifications are like sugar, right? They're okay in small doses, but they're corrosive by default.” (37:04 | Bryan Dobkin)   Links SideKick Tool   Movemate: Award-Winning Active Standing Board 15% off Promo Code: DRA15   RAD Roller   Revogreen   HYDRAGUN    Athletic Brewing 20% off: ANDREWF20   Connect with Physio Room: Website Instagram Facebook Andrew's Personal Instagram Andrew's Personal Facebook     Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm

In this episode, I introduce you to Lynette M. who has 7 adults living in their house. She's married, has a son and his wife, 2 other sons, and a daughter all under one roof.  Lynette had so much paper she didn't know how to deal with it after she'd “decluttered” it. She found Organize 365® as a paper organizing expert when searching for solutions.  Lynette had success with Marie Kondo in decluttering from 27 sweaters, 11 pairs of gloves (did I mention she lives in central FL?), multiple pairs of jeans, and 3,000 books. But when she got to the 5 filing cabinets of paper she knew she needed help! Once she found Organize 365® and heard me talking about my son having and IEP and the Warrior Mama binder, Lynette thought to herself “she gets me!”  She also loves the way realistic expectations are talked about. If your child has an IEP in school, those “limitations” don't go away after they graduate. Some kids may not go on to college. There's a message of acceptance of alternative paths after secondary education from Organize 365® that resonates with Lynette.  Lynette had children move back home after medical setbacks. She decided to do a financial reset for them and financial education for her other children. She got them all Launch Binders and holds a Tuesday night budget meeting to teach them the basics so when they go out on their own again (prospective deadlines have been set) that they will be successful. I could not believe what I was hearing as Lynette explained her situation. This theme is becoming familiar; children back home for financial reset for various reasons. In 2000's only 10-20% of students needed an IEP. In 2012, it had risen to 30-50% of students needing an IEP, I mean do you think a magic wand is waved when they graduate high school and all of the sudden they are ready for higher education and the careers that follow? When you have a learning disability, you find work arounds to learn. Organization is a learnable skill and it is the executive function work around for things like ADHD that Lynette was diagnosed with in her adulthood.   We know a lot of families are dealing with these obstacles but no one is talking about it. Lynette and I had a great conversation about what a “nutjob” I was back in the day causing commotion over vaccines and red dye. But funny now, studies are coming out and proving legitimacy over the concerns I had way back when. Lynette experienced some similar situations as myself. As the household managers we know our families the best and are best equipped to advocate for our families. We know what is going on better than the doctors offices, schools, and the government. This is not isolated to just the two of us, it's happening in 1,000's of homes.  Lynette has used the binders to teach her kids about finances, to have awkward conversations about she and her husband's modest estate, and about assigning power of health care now that they are older than 18. In an “instant world” it was helpful to have conversations about not getting paid out daily from work and when to actually take advantage of Door Dash.  The binders offer a way to teach without insulting their knowledge. It has also been a way to share differing viewpoints in a respectful way.  Lynette runs three businesses and could not do so without Planning day and the Sunday Baskets®, let's not worry about how many she has. She stated if she's not intentionally planning, she's the one that gets ran over. She's still learning and trying to perfect her Sunday Basket® routine as she helps others learn how to live healthy, to play piano, and organize their paper as the Clutter Coach. And preemptive planning that she does gives her the decision bandwidth that in a crisis she would lack. Lynette shared recently hearing “Everyday you are preparing or repairing.” And amidst it all, in her menopausal journey, it's the organizing that has helped her to get the angst out of her body!   Lynette's Advise: “Don't wait till it's perfect to start your business.” EPISODE RESOURCES: The Sunday Basket® The Paper Solution® The Productive Home Solution® Home Planning Day Sign Up for the Organize 365® Newsletter  On the Wednesday podcast, I get to talk with members of the Organize 365­® community as they share the challenges, progress, missteps and triumphs along their organizing journey.

Nonprofits want the speed of automation and the promise of AI—but Alicia Eastvold, Department Leader for Client Technology Solutions at Your Part-Time Controller (YPTC), explains why many orgs stall at the starting line: messy, bloated, and fragmented data. Her central thesis is simple and powerful: “We can't speed things up if it's not organized, and we can't write simple rules around it for where it belongs.” From the first minute, Alicia reframes “data hygiene” away from fear and toward usefulness—think Marie Kondo for systems: keep what serves the mission, archive the rest, and label everything so your “smart assistant” can actually find the hammer.Alicia maps two common failure modes: too much information (endless, unreadable reports) and poor structure (the same concept scattered across donor CRM, accounting, and spreadsheets). Both grind automation to a halt and produce costly mistakes in grant allocations, budgets, and forecasts. Her practical fix: decide what you need going forward, set a cutoff, inactivate legacy categories, and build simple, durable rules that can run 1,000 times. As she puts it, “Think big about what would happen if I had to do this thing a thousand times and plan your process that way.”A standout story: a client wanted a complex custom payroll allocation tool. After examining their cluttered chart and inconsistent rules, the team cleaned the system, documented clear rules, and discovered an off-the-shelf cost allocation tool that did the job at a fraction of the price. Takeaway: better structure often beats bespoke code.The stakes are real. Misallocations can snowball into seven-figure problems, finger-pointing between development and finance, and restricted funds that can't be used where they're most needed. Clean, rule-based data unlocks credible budgeting, forecasting, and the ability to ask funders for the right dollars—including flexible, unrestricted support. It also fuels data storytelling that boosts trust and investment: when leaders visualize program costs, funding gaps, and outcomes with clarity, credibility skyrockets.Bottom line: start today. Choose what matters for the next 12–24 months, archive the past, enforce naming and categorization rules, and think like an enterprise—no matter your size. Clean data returns time to your people, turns AI from buzz to utility, and powers decisions that move the mission! #TheNonprofitShow #DataHygiene #NonprofitAutomationFind us Live daily on YouTube!Find us Live daily on LinkedIn!Find us Live daily on X: @Nonprofit_ShowOur national co-hosts and amazing guests discuss management, money and missions of nonprofits! 12:30pm ET 11:30am CT 10:30am MT 9:30am PTSend us your ideas for Show Guests or Topics: HelpDesk@AmericanNonprofitAcademy.comVisit us on the web:The Nonprofit Show

Erin and Stella had stupid clients, have the sniffles (sorry bout it), and are hanging by a thread. But deep cleaning is keeping them sane. Marie Kondo (sp?

Marijn talks about his new session that is delivering in Helsinki and Oslo. That one is about finding a methodology to handle data, and Marijn chooses the Marie Kondo method. Initially, Steve can't stop laughing about it, but he is won over when Marijn says the magic word (which is not whisky). The whisky is a sherry finished Islay bomb.

Love decluttering videos, but hate home organising in real life? Too much stuff can make us feel stressed, but parting with objects isn't always easy. This week, what your clutter says about you, and how you can get on top of it.

In this episode of Numbers and Narratives, host Sean Collins sit down with Saverio Bianchi, founder of Atelier & Avenue, a boutique e-commerce and digital transformation consultancy. With over 20 years of experience working with luxury brands like Ferrari, LVMH, and L'Oreal, Saverio offers a unique perspective on the current state of direct-to-consumer (DTC) businesses. He discusses the challenges facing DTC brands, including rising ad costs, investor pressures, and the shift towards omnichannel strategies. Saverio emphasizes the importance of creating desire and standing out in an increasingly crowded market, urging brands to be brave and innovative in their approach to growth. He also delves into the critical role of data and insights in decision-making, highlighting the common pitfall of being "data-rich but insights poor." Saverio provides valuable advice on how to overcome this challenge, suggesting that brands "Marie Kondo" their KPIs and focus on actionable insights. This episode is a must-listen for anyone involved in e-commerce, digital marketing, or brand strategy, offering practical wisdom and fresh perspectives on navigating the evolving DTC landscape.https://www.linkedin.com/in/saveriobianchi/https://www.atelierandavenue.com/

"Burn the data. Start fresh. The past you is holding your fleet hostage."  Detailed Episode SummaryIn this episode of The Fleet Success Show, Josh Turley and Marc Canton tackle one of the most contentious topics in fleet management: data retention. From government fleets clutching onto 26 years of work orders to fleet managers hoarding “just in case” data, they dismantle the myths about keeping everything forever.They explore why data older than five years is almost always useless for analytics, how “garbage in, garbage out” isn't just a cliché, and why old data often comes with old bad habits baked in. Along the way, they unpack sunk cost fallacy in a fleet context, the hidden dangers of “organizational garbage,” and why purging or rolling up data can speed up your fleet maintenance management software and help you focus on what actually matters today.With plenty of real-world examples, humor, and a few spicy analogies (think Marie Kondo meets fleet management), Josh and Marc show how a clean data start can set you — and your future fleet managers — up for massive success. Key Takeaways5 years or less of historical data is sufficient for most fleet analytics — older data is often irrelevant.Old data often carries inconsistent practices from multiple fleet managers, creating “organizational garbage.”Hoarding data “just in case” is driven by fear, but it often slows down systems and clutters decision-making.Rolling up or archiving old data keeps it accessible without polluting your active fleet maintenance system.A new FMIS implementation is the perfect opportunity to clean house — and resist carrying over bad processes.Your metrics should drive your data collection, not the other way around. Speaker BiosJosh Turley – CEO of RTA: The Fleet Success Company. With over two decades in fleet management and software innovation, Josh leads RTA's mission to help fleets save $1 billion. Known for his strategic vision and no-nonsense approach, Josh is passionate about empowering fleets through better processes, technology, and leadership.Marc Canton – Fleet Consultant & Data Analytics Expert at RTA. Marc brings nearly 30 years of fleet experience, including 20 years running Fordham University's fleet in NYC and a decade in consulting. He specializes in helping fleets leverage data to make smarter, faster, and more profitable decisions.

Meg Wolitzer presents three works about squabbles between people who love one another most.  Jenny Allen's “In the Car” chronicles the European road trip of a long married couple—and he won't ask for directions. The reader is Alysia Reiner.  In Jade Jones' “Your Aunt Thinks She Ramona Africa,” a close family doesn't know what to do with a nonconformist.  Crystal Dickinson reads.  And in “CobRa,” by Katherine Heiny, the methods of uncluttering guru Marie Kondo almost tidy away a marriage.  Peter Grosz reads.

This week on Two Parents & A Podcast, we're sharing the relationship habits that have actually helped us (and YOU GUYS) stay connected as new parents — from daily 15-minute check-ins to remembering not to “talk through” your baby. We also talk about what it really means to support your partner through postpartum depression, and how we need to try going to bed at the same time (apparently this is a thing a lot of you guys do??). Before that, we dive into kindergarten cutoff dates (is it better to be old or young for your grade??), the great Diet Coke vs. Diet Pepsi debate, and our first ever MOVIE NIGHT REVIEW of Happy Gilmore 2. Plus, the new “fridge cigarettes” meme and a little closet clean-out convo (Harrison might need to watch the Marie Kondo show??). In Things We DMed Each Other, we're taking on the hotel industry (check-in at 4pm, check-out at 11am? Really??) and decoding Gen Z's newest phone greeting trend. WE LOVE YOU GUYS!

You Guys! I was so excited to answer these questions. I love my hobbies so much!!  Right now, travel is a hobby I want to focus on. Greg asked me why I am taking these adult fieldtrips alone? It feeds me. I encourage my family to follow their interests and develop their skills within their hobbies. I am starting to pour into myself like I always have for my family members and I think everyone should do the same, especially the household manager.  Scrapbooking & Photos Disclaimer: I am a hands on scrapbooker. If you are looking for digital suggestions, I am not your guru. Creative Memories was one of the first direct sales companies I worked for. Anna and I discovered that her mom, Donna, was THE creator of the power layouts for scrapbooking specific to Creative Memories. I taught this system to all my customers and little Anna was the one counting all the chipboards that were going into the boxes that I had ordered!! There were questions about sorting, storage, getting started, and product recommendations.  I learned a lot about storage of photos, how the containers matter, and the books you place those precious pictures in matter too. I stand by Creative Memories to this day because of their quality and I am actually still a consultant with them!  The first thing you need to identify is why you want to scrapbook and then you can make an action plan from there. One lady said there were pictures everywhere and how was she going to get them organized quickly because she needed her guest room to be functional soon. I recommend a bulk sort at this stage. Start sorting by decade and go from there because it will take awhile to get all those pictures in albums anyway!  There is a whole section on photo organization in the Saving Your Story Photo Organization Program. Make sure you are journaling to capture why those pictures are important. And then I suggested a few ways you could document pictures quicker and have completed albums.  Books, Audio, and Journaling I don't journal too much but what I may consider journaling is summer time when I think about future ideas. And this is where Embrace came from. I think about the future and who I currently am and where I am going in my personal life and professionally.  I've shared that there was that time when I decided “If it was to be it was up to me.” And that was the catalyst for being mindful of my attitude and what I consume. I make sure to always be consuming content about influential people, presidents, inventors, and the like; this helps me to stay future oriented. Anna also pointed out how one of Organize 365®'s core values is the Power of Positivity. It's a focus for me and my business.  I am a life long learner and I love my books. I am such a compulsive book buyer that even when I couldn't really afford books I would buy them anyway I just can't help myself. I let Marie Kondo talk me into tossing out a bunch of books and boy do I regret getting rid of those books. I've realized I am not a minimalist and I love revisiting my books.  The best way for me to suggest some great reads is through the podcast. I spent a whole year recommending books. And I guess those are my top 52 recommendations. Take the time to live in your hobbies and fill your hobby cup as you fill everyone else's.  EPISODE RESOURCES: The Sunday Basket® The Paper Solution® Saving Your Story Photo Organization Program The Productive Home Solution™ January 2020 Book Reviews (You Tube) (check out the following 11 months for additional book reviews) Sign Up for the Organize 365® Newsletter  Did you enjoy this episode?

In this episode, we dive into Swedish Death Cleaning. Despite its dramatic name, it's a gentle, reflective approach to decluttering that helps reduce the burden on loved ones after we're gone. We also touch on finding your own rhythm with decluttering methods—from the KonMari method to our own to Reset Your Home System—and the power of community in helping you succeed.

Timestamps [1:27] Mars enters Virgo this week on June 17 (1:35 AM PDT), through Aug. 6. Mars in Virgo is perfectionistic, try not to second-guess yourself and obsess about details. Take Mars in Leo's creative projects and send them to the editor for refinement. [3:38] Moon Report! The Pisces Last Quarter Moon (June 18, 12:19 PM PDT) is at 27°47' Pisces and Gemini. The Sabian symbol for the Moon is 28 Pisces, A fertile garden under the Full Moon, and the symbol for the Sun is 28 Gemini, A man declared bankrupt. Consider which Gemini New Moon ideas you can let go, a la Marie Kondo. [6:05] Lunar Phase Family Cycle (LPFC). This is the Last Quarter in an LPFC that began on March 21, 2023, with a New Moon at 00°49' Aries. The First Quarter Moon (first action point) was on Dec. 19, 2023, at 27°35' Pisces.  The Full Moon (awareness point) was on Sep. 17, 2024, at 25°40' Pisces. [8:13] Void-of-Course (VOC) Moon periods. On June 16 (10:31 AM PDT), the Moon in Aquarius opposes Mars in Leo. It's VOC for 38 minutes, and then enters Pisces (11:09 AM PDT). Tempers could flare and arguments could ensue. This is a great day to start a new exercise regimen. [9:33] On June 18 (2:34 PM PDT), the Moon in Pisces sextiles Uranus. It's VOC for 1 hour 34 minutes, and then enters Aries (4:08 PM PDT). Play a little hooky, change up your routine or maybe even just disregard routines altogether! [10:34] On June 20 (6:49 PM PDT), the Moon in Aries sextiles the Sun. This is a fast VOC, only 4 minutes, and then the Moon enters Taurus (6:53 PM PDT). Feeling overwhelmed?  Set a timer, and for four minutes, do a breathing exercise. [11:43] On June 22 (6:50 PM PST), the Moon in Taurus conjoins Uranus. It's VOC for 1 hour, 7 minutes, then enters Gemini (7:57 PM PDT). This conjunction takes place on the anaretic (final) degree of 29°18' Taurus. What are the physical, aesthetic, and financial themes that have changed for you since Uranus entered Taurus in 2018? Practice some gratitude for what you've learned during this time. [13:27] On June 18 (8:16 PM PDT), Jupiter squares Neptune at 2°06' Cancer-Aries. This transit happens about every six to seven years. Jupiter and Neptune are both associated with beliefs, but there are fundamental differences between them that can make Jupiter emphasizes knowing and Neptune emphasizes faith. [16:02] The Sun enters Cancer on June 20 (7:42 PM PDT), through July 22. Cancer is a cardinal sign, one of the four signs that initiates a new season of the year. The Cancer solstice marks the official start of summer in the northern hemisphere and the start of winter in the southern hemisphere. Cancer symbolizes extreme protectiveness of those that we feel are part of our clan, family, community, and country. [18:21] Mars sextiles Jupiter on June 22 (3:32 AM PDT) at 2°51' Virgo-Cancer. We can make great strides towards specific goals. This is another excellent time this week to initiate a serious exercise program.  The Sabian symbol for Jupiter is 3 Cancer, A man all bundled up in fur, leading a shaggy deer. [20:06] The Sun squares Saturn on June 22 (11:36 am PDT) at 1°35' Aries- Cancer. This can be a productive and character-building transit, but it usually is not a very cheerful one. It's one of the best transits for building strength and endurance. [21:40] Listener Angeline asks about whether astrology's recent popularity is a trend or a belief system. [26:09] If you'd like to have a question answered on a future episode, leave a message of one minute or less at speakpipe.com/bigskyastrologypodcast or email april (at) bigskyastrology (dot) com; put “Podcast Question” in the subject line.

It's the question that haunts modelers everywhere as we struggle with overflowing stashes, cluttered benches, and the constant shuffle of moving one project to make room for another. In this episode, we welcome back Panzermeister36 (Evan McCallum) to explore the challenges of creating and maintaining an organized modeling environment.Evan kicks things off with a fascinating firsthand account of his recent trip to the Moson Show in Hungary, where world-class models and unique vendor offerings provided substantial inspiration—and temptation for the wallet. His description of models stacked three deep on display tables, manufacturers offering their own products as awards, and the international camaraderie paints a picture of one of Europe's premier modeling events that might just find its way onto your modeling bucket list.The heart of our discussion centers on decluttering and organizing the modeling life. We tackle the Marie Kondo-inspired question of whether each item in your stash truly "brings modeling joy," explore digital organization systems like ScaleMates to prevent duplicate purchases, and share our visions for perfect workspace configurations. From Dave's quest to rehome books to Mike's plans for custom shelving systems to Evan's apartment-based challenges, we uncover both the universal struggles and personal solutions that shape our hobby spaces.Perhaps most telling is the moment when Evan asks whether better organization will actually solve our problems or if "the mess will just expand to match the workspace." It's a sobering thought that resonates with anyone who's ever upgraded their modeling area only to find it just as cluttered months later.Whether you're modeling from a kitchen table, dedicated room, or dreaming of that perfect future space, this episode offers practical insights to help maximize whatever space you have. After all, in the end, it's not about having the most space—it's about making the most of the space you have.Hobbyist Decals - For custom decals, listener Adam Coleman recommended this site.Bytes & Brushes -  Listener Stephan Lauren's new YouTube Channel to feature reviews of download and print of purchases STL files for modeling parts and accessories.Model Paint SolutionsYour source for Harder & Steenbeck Airbrushes and David Union Power ToolsSQUADRON Adding to the stash since 1968Model PodcastsPlease check out the other pods in the modelsphere!PMM Merchandise StoreSupport the show with PMM Merchandise!Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.
