Hoy Jimeno se ha puesto con los niños en plan Marie Kondo y han visto de qué cosas podrían prescindir en casa
These are the 6 nonfiction books that have actually changed my life, and I'm not being dramatic. These are books that continuously show up in how I operate, how I think, how I run my business, and the advice I give you every week.In this episode, I'm covering the 6 books, why I picked each one up, and how the lessons still show up in my life today:
In this solo episode, Bradley Hamner continues the operating system series by applying the KonMari method to the files scattered across a growing business. He works through the six principles from Marie Kondo's book on tidying up and maps each one onto the work of documenting how a company actually runs.Bradley covers the commitment required to systemize once and for all, why the vision for the business has to come before any documentation, how to gather assets by category rather than by department, and why owners should organize the documents they already own before building new ones. He also explains where every document eventually lands, in the twelve playbooks that make up the operating system.This episode moves past file management and into what the clutter costs. What happens to a business when the process lives only in the owner's head or a key employee's? What actually sparks joy here, a tidy folder structure or four days away without the company needing you? And which documents already sitting in your business have value you have not recognized?

Earlier this summer, a book caught my eye because of its title. On the cover were the words, “worry cry argue fight”, all crossed out. Then, boldly circled: “pray first”. The subtitle promised to reveal “the transformative power of a life built on prayer”. Right up my alley, I thought; perfect. So, as I do with many books, I ordered it used. As soon as it arrived, I opened it, ready to begin reading, only to find an inscription on the inside cover: “You are one of my prayers. God listened to me and gave me the most wonderful man. My right one.” Signed and dated 12-24-2023.Which immediately led me to wonder how this book had traveled from one of the most beautiful attestations of transcendent love, “You are one of my prayers,” to the $2.99 discount rack. Had he died? Had they broken up? Had he read the book's title as a passive aggressive, “You need to pray more!”? I was suddenly imagining a whole domestic drama unfolding between the dedication page and the used book sticker. Of course, there's the more mundane possibility that he received the book, read it, then simply did some Marie Kondo-ing. Apparently, sometime between Christmas Eve 2023 and the used-book shelf in 2026, this answered prayer had stopped sparking joy.By summer's end, I realized I had spent more time mulling this mystery than I did reading the actual book. Something stuck in that inscription like a thorn. Maybe their love is flourishing and he simply ran out of shelf space! I hope so. But the less lovely possibilities had already raised a harder question that just wouldn't let go: What happens when we get what we prayed for – and life keeps happening? What do we do when our answered prayers don't stay answered?
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.

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."

La conjugaison, c'est un peu la bête noire de toutes les personnes qui apprennent le français mais aussi des langues étrangères en général. Depuis 20 ans, je vois toutes sortes d'étudiants essayer d'esquiver l'étape “conjugaison” en espérant pouvoir continuer à progresser sans. C'est une fausse bonne idée. Survoler la conjugaison signifie passer à côté de l'essentiel de la communication en français car un verbe mal conjugué en français, ça s'entend et ça s'entend très fort. Personne n'aime devoir deviner le sens des phrases. C'est notamment avec la grammaire mais surtout avec la conjugaison que se différencient les élèves qui atteignent le niveau avancé et les autres.Je suis professeure de Français Langue Étrangère et mon métier est d'entendre des personnes faire des milliers d'erreurs en français et de les aider à se corriger. Pour les francophones natifs, il n'y a rien de plus désagréable qu'une personne qui ne tient pas un discours cohérent et compréhensible. Cela passe inévitablement par la conjugaison. Ceci dit, la conjugaison est pénible, rébarbative, truffée d'exceptions et souvent de listes indigestes. Mon invitée de cette semaine, Léa Ricci, est la reine ou la Marie Kondo de la conjugaison. Elle a créé une méthode qui aide les apprenants à apprendre la conjugaison sans souffrir.Bonne écoute !Notes :Site Internet : https://www.ouimerci.es/ Instagram : https://www.instagram.com/lea_ricci_ouimerci/ LinkedIn : https://www.linkedin.com/in/lea-ricciIl y a 3 manières de soutenir ce podcast pour qu'il continue à être libre, indépendant et rebelle : 1️⃣ Le Club de Yasmine Le Club privé du podcast qui donne accès à toutes les transcriptions des épisodes, aux épisodes secrets, la newsletter privée en français et l'accès à la communauté des élèves et membres sur Discord. https://lefrancaisavecyasmine.com/club 2️⃣ Les livres du podcast Les transcriptions du podcast sont disponibles dans les livres “Le français avec Yasmine” sur Amazon : http://amazon.com/author/yasminelesire 3️⃣ Les cours de français avec YasmineRendez-vous sur le site de mon école pour découvrir le catalogue des cours disponibles : www.ilearnfrench.eu ➡️ Les réseaux sociaux Instagram : https://www.instagram.com/ilearnfrench/LinkedIn : https://www.linkedin.com/in/yasmine-lesire-ilearnfrench/ ➡️ Crédit musique La musique de cet épisode est créée par le groupe Beam.

Every summer, something extraordinary happens in Ojai.Nearly 1,000 new plays arrive from writers across the country. After months of rigorous evaluation by dramaturgs, directors, and theater professionals, only six or seven are chosen for the Ojai Playwrights Conference — one of America's premier incubators for new theater.Those playwrights spend two intensive weeks rewriting, collaborating with acclaimed directors and dramaturgs, and hearing their words brought to life by professional actors before live audiences. It's where promising scripts become exceptional plays.Readings of these fresh works with professional actors takes place July 30 to August 2 this year on the Thacher School campus.In this episode of Ojai: Talk of the Town, host Bret Bradigan sits down with Jeremy B. Cohen, Producing Artistic Director of the Ojai Playwrights Conference, for a fascinating conversation about what separates good theater from great theater, why live performance remains unlike any other art form, and how the Conference discovers bold new voices whose stories may one day appear on stages across the country.They explore the creative workshop process, the elusive qualities of compelling dramatic writing, the importance of artistic risk, and why Ojai has become one of the nation's most important destinations for playwrights.Whether you're a theater lover, a writer, or simply someone fascinated by the creative process, this conversation offers a rare look inside the making of new American theater — before the curtain ever rises.We talked about the OPC's integral Youth Workshop run by Kim Maxwell and her daughter Lily Brown, Jeremy finding his people in the theater world in western Massachusetts, running the venerable Playwrights' Center in St. Paul, Mn. and Broadway legend George Abbott. We did talk about Marie Kondo, Komodo dragons, or looksmaxxing.Check out OjaiPlays.org for schedule and much more.
De Japanse opruimgoeroe Marie Kondo veroverde in de jaren ’10 de wereld met haar bestseller The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up. Een hele generatie ging vervolgens aan de haal met haar minimalistische ideeën over hoe een keurig, netjes huis eruit ziet. Volkskrant-journalist en schrijver Nina Polak ergert zich aan de eenheidsworst die Kondo in huizen over de hele wereld heeft geschapen. Word je eigenlijk gelukkig in een netjes, kaal en volledig beige huis? Waarom sloeg die Japanse opruimwoede zo aan?Met Nina en onze rust-reinheid-regelmaatspecialist Wilma de Rek bespreekt Esma Linnemann of Nederland een eigen opruimcultuur heeft, en wat weten we over de samenhang tussen opruimen en welzijn. Scandinavië-correspondent Jeroen Visser schuift ook aan en vertelt over de ‘Swedish death clean-methode’.

Genesis 1:31 reveals a powerful truth about God's character: He is a God of order, purpose, and intentional design. In this devotional, Deidre Braley explores what it means to be created in the image of God and how His orderly nature is reflected throughout creation. From the boundaries He established in the natural world to the systems that allow life to flourish, God demonstrates that order is not restrictive—it is life-giving. As believers, we are called to reflect His character by bringing peace, clarity, and purpose into the spaces we influence. Highlights God’s creation reveals His nature as a God of order and purpose. Being made in God’s image means reflecting His character in everyday life. Order creates space for people, relationships, and communities to thrive. Stewarding our homes and possessions can be an act of worship. Healthy systems and organization help good work flourish. Peacemaking reflects God’s heart and brings stability to relationships. Christians are called to bring clarity and hope into chaotic situations. Small acts of intentionality can create lasting impact in our daily lives. Join the Conversation Where do you sense God calling you to bring greater order, peace, or purpose into your life?

Full Transcript Below: What it Means to Be Made in the Image of an Orderly God By Deidre Braley Bible Reading: God saw all that he had made, and it was very good. And there was evening, and there was morning—the sixth day. - Genesis 1:31 NIV Marie Kondo is known as one of the world’s most beloved tidying experts, and one day she convinced me that the path to inner peace would be to pull all of the clothes out of my closet and throw them on my bed to be analyzed, one by one. I had just watched the first episode of her show Tidying Up with Marie Kondo on Netflix, in which she teaches her proteges to ask this question: When I touch this item, does it spark joy? If the answer is yes, then the item gets to stay. If the answer is no, the directive is to thank the item for its service and then bid it adieu. Even if this sounds a little woo-woo, I have to say that after I had removed a great many joyless items from my wardrobe and reorganized the rest of my clothes back into the closet, I felt an internal sigh of relief. I did feel more joyful. I felt as though a burden had lifted, as though a weight I’d been unwittingly carrying around for years was suddenly gone. In 1872, John Wesley preached, “Cleanliness is, indeed, next to godliness,” and though he was talking specifically about the way a person dressed and cared for their appearance, I think he was pressing on a deeper spiritual truth, too. Cleanliness is the visual representation of order, and our Creator is, as evidenced by creation, a God of order. If you look carefully at the creation story, you will notice that God did not just bring all things into being—he also gave them each a designated spot, a boundary for existence, a specific space in which to thrive. He separated the light from the darkness, giving both their time to reign, as day and night. He gave each plant one specific fruit to bear. He told the sea how far it could go and then said, “No more.” Biblical scholar Rachel Smith describes God’s work in a way that Marie Kondo would approve of: “It (the world) was designed to run well and to be a well-ordered environment for its occupants. This is the sense of good in the creation account. Everything God created He declared good because it acted within its purpose and provided benefits” (Rest Assured: What the Creation Story Was Intended to Reveal About Trusting God, pg. 62-63). Intersecting Faith & Life: What does it mean to bear God’s image? It means to care about the things he cares about, and to reflect his character out into the world. And one of the things that God cares about is order, which creates space for life to thrive. When we enter into chaos and bring disorder back into equilibrium, we are doing the work of God. Here are some practical areas where we might do that today. In our physical spaces Declutter one area of your home. Choose a junk drawer, a closet, or a bedroom. Remove everything, and only put back what serves a purpose or, per the advice of Marie Kondo, brings joy. Give each item a designated space, and then, if you can, bring a little extra beauty to that area. Organize by color. Add flowers. Freshen with a scented sachet. Is there a time of day that feels particularly chaotic? Create a ritual to help it go more smoothly. If morning times are hectic, for example, pre-set your coffee pot the night before. Lay out your clothes. Wake up ten minutes earlier. Light a candle while you eat breakfast. See how these adjustments bring a sense of peace to what used to feel overwhelming. In our workplaces Administration may not be glamorous, but it is essential for bringing order. If you have the gift of administration—that is, organizing information, communication, and actions into systems that run smoothly—put it into practice in your workplace. Good structures help good work to thrive. Be a problem solver. If you see that something is not working and have an idea for how to fix it, say something. Be someone who steps into situations and brings clarity and excellence. In our communities Jesus said, “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God” (Matthew 5:9). In our communities, bringing order looks like bringing peace—to relationships, to organizations, to broken systems. When we step into disordered situations or strained relationships in our neighborhoods or even global communities, we are reflecting God’s image by bringing equilibrium. This could look as simple as serving on the PTA and being a voice of calm and reason when the meetings get heated, or it could look like serving in outreach ministries to provide for the real, everyday needs of neighbors.

Kaitlyn Ugoretz (Lecturer, Nanzan Institute for Religion and Culture, Nanzan University, Japan; PhD, East Asian Languages and Cultural Studies, University of California, Santa Barbara, in progress) is an anthropologist of religion focused on the globalization of Japanese Shinto practices through popular culture such as anime, video games, and Marie Kondo's decluttering. The Associate Editor of The Japanese Journal of Religious Studies, and a member of the Sacred Writes 2021 public scholarship training cohort, Prof. Ugoretz also promotes public scholarship on Japanese religions through her award-winning educational YouTube channel Eat Pray Anime, in podcast interviews, cultural consulting, and her writing for venues including Religion News Service and The Conversation. Ugoretz will conduct a digital ethnography of Japanese tidying guru Marie Kondo. She notes that while Western scholarship tends to consider Kondo to be "spiritual," the Japanese find her to be too "religious," reflecting aspects of Buddhist and Shinto traditions. This leads Ugoretz to argue that our understanding of spiritual yearning should expand---it is neither a new nor an American phenomenon. The boundary between what is "religious" and what is "spiritual" is historically and cultural constructed, and shaped by ideas of race, class, and globalization. She argues that spiritual yearning emerges from human existential needs and concerns, and should be distinguished from the capitalistic patterns of "spiritual consumption" that it often inspires.

Uma das grandes dificuldades que as pessoas enfrentam na hora de se alimentar é a organização. E não tô só falando da dificuldade de organizar um cardápio. Tô falando de organização de uma maneira muito mais ampla: muita gente que não cozinha porque depois a cozinha vai ficar bagunçada, gente que se desorganiza no tempo e não consegue se dedicar as compras e ao mínimo preparo e na grande ilusão de que tudo tem que estar organizadíssimo o tempo todo. Foi pensando nesse tema, que chamei a Carol, do @ondeeudeixei pra falar sobre organização, bagunça, expectativas… um papo organizadamente bagunçado! A Carol pesquisa bagunça e organização nas casas brasileiras na universidade de São Paulo. É mestre em comunicação, consumo e cultura pela mesma universidade, pós graduada em semiótica psicanalítica - clínica da cultura pela PUC São Paulo. Formada em organização pela Marie Kondo e a Casa com Vida, e fala sobre tudo isso no @ondeeudeixei.O Clube CCAFE é apoiador desse podcast.

Stop Watering People Who Never Grew & Start Pouring Into Your Own Roots Wanting to connect with Dani about Coaching? Schedule your complimentary call HERE. If you've been feeling exhausted, foggy, or weirdly behind in life, even when you're "doing all the things," this episode is for you. There's this sneaky thing I like to call the ‘energy tax' that so many of us are paying without even realizing it, and it's draining us! We're paying for it with the draining people in our life, unhealed wounds we can't seem to get through, the constant second-guessing ourselves with decisions, and trying to be everything to everyone. And sometimes the smallest shift in how you show up changes everything and help you stop paying that tax. You're not behind. You're not failing. You're just paying a tax you were never meant to pay. Work With Dani If this episode resonated with you and you're ready for deeper healing, peace, and purpose, Dani offers free discovery calls to explore your next step. Whether you're looking for personal transformation or feel called to help others through coaching, Dani would love to connect.

They also look back at their own reading from 2016, including their favorite releases, and share a quick round-up of listener-submitted favorites.

Marie Kondo no inventó el orden. Pero le puso nombre: KonMari. Y el nombre cambió todo. ¿Tu método tiene nombre? Si la respuesta es no, tienes un problema que probablemente no sabías que tenías. Porque un método sin nombre es un método que no viaja sin ti. No se recomienda con claridad. No se recuerda con facilidad. Y no te posiciona como referente. En este episodio de Tu Marca Personal descubrirás por qué nombrar tu método es el acto de posicionamiento más potente que puedes hacer. Descubrirás: ✅ Los 3 niveles de ponerle nombre a lo que haces (método, villano, elementos recurrentes) ✅ Por qué un acrónimo artificial destruye tu credibilidad (y qué funciona en su lugar) ✅ El proceso de 4 pasos para nombrar tu método esta misma semana ✅ Por qué nombrar es un acto de valentía — y por qué eso es exactamente lo que necesitas Si sientes que eres bueno pero nadie te recuerda... este episodio es para ti. #MarcaPersonal #Posicionamiento #NombraTuMétodo
What happens when your body decides to Marie Kondo your entire large intestine, but the healthcare system treats your "vestibule" like an optional extra? This week we sit down with Emily. At 23, she went from a "healthy" young woman to shitting blood 20 times a day which eventually led to living life with a permanent Barbie butthole. But the real horror story isn't the Ulcerative Colitis diagnosis; it's what happens when you try to navigate a high-risk pregnancy in a system that compartmentalizes your "gut" from your "baby" until the two collide in a traumatic, 25-week micro-preemie delivery.

Tout sortir des placards et des tiroirs, jeter ce qui ne procure pas de joie, trier par couleur et ranger soigneusement. Désencombrer son intérieur pour se sentir mieux dans sa tête : la clé du bonheur selon Marie Kondo. Cette entrepreneuse japonaise, popularisée par un livre vendu à 10 millions d'exemplaires et une émission sur Netflix, est devenue dans les années 2010 une référence au point d'être surnommée la « papesse de rangement ».Plus tard, en 2023, elle reconnaissait qu'il était difficile pour elle de respecter sa propre méthode après la naissance de ses trois enfants.

Moving house can be very stressful so here are some tips and advice to make it go as smoothly as possible. Moving house is also a great opportunity to declutter. It's time to see what sparks joy in the words of Marie Kondo. Take some time to go through your belongings and decide what you need, use and want. There is no point in packing and moving a lot of things, especially if you plan to move them yourself, that you end up getting rid of as soon as you unpack. Consider donating things that are in good condition to charity or putting them up on a freecycle app or even selling them. What can I do before the move? How can I make the big day go smoothly? What else can I do to make it go well? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions! To listen to the last episodes, you can click here: Why has purple become the colour of feminism?

There is a particular kind of confidence that comes from having never, not once, understood how a car works. Tommy Metz III has that confidence in spades. In this episode, he reveals that his first car — a used Jeep Cherokee he lovingly named "Peace" (short for "piece of," well, you can fill in the rest) — featured a steering wheel so structurally compromised that he'd been casually jamming it back into the dashboard for months, under the assumption that this was simply how cars sometimes worked.It was not.The steering wheel eventually came off entirely at a stoplight. Which truly sets the tone for this week's episode about two adults who have been winging the maintenance of their lives with varying degrees of success.From there, the episode splits into dual adulting topics: car maintenance and laundry — two pillars of what Pete calls "maintenance rituals," the invisible, unglamorous labor of keeping your life from quietly falling apart. Tommy confesses to a lifetime of automotive ignorance and makes a surprisingly persuasive case for dealership loyalty. Pete delivers a laundry crash course, dismantling myths about fabric softener (it's coating your clothes in wax), detergent dosing (the cap is lying to you), and dry cleaning (it's not dry, and please stop smelling it).Competence in adulthood isn't about mastering everything, it's about finding the one or two maintenance rituals you're willing to own and doing them with quiet, slightly irrational pride. For Pete, that's a drawer full of Marie Kondo-folded t-shirts. For Tommy, it's the peace of mind that comes from letting a dealership send him a video before they touch anything. Neither of them knows what a fan belt is. ---Learn more about supporting this podcast by becoming a member. Visit allthefeelings.fum/join to learn more!
