Ok, the line leader for executive functions is working memory. Remember? At the end of the line is the higher level executive function of planning. Planning is the ultimate self care because it ensures high priority tasks will get completed and gives you peace. I'm explaining how getting your working memory and prospective memory to play nice, will allow Planning to have a chance to play a role in your life and finally free up your full cognitive bandwidth!  TMP Time management planning; plan for the day, prioritize, and set deadlines. You wrote your brian down on paper and you decided if it could wait. The items that could not wait need to be plugged into a time block in your week. This is Time management planning. The key to this is leaving a little white space for when life's inevitable interruptions pop up.  Contingency Planning You uplevel your planning when you have a contingent plan. Choose which items, if need be, for tomorrow's plan can be pushed to the next day or put back in the Sunday Basket®. We all know we will be interrupted but have you made a contingency plan, a back up plan, for the day you are planning? Studies show that people who have contingency plans get more done than those who do not. Those same studies show, mind you this is in the workplace, that even with support staff and a cleaning crew, they still only complete their to-do list, 80% of the time. At least one day a week they are not completing their tasks. Now I ask you, do you think we are interrupted more at home or at work? At home we are definitely interrupted more and we are the support staff and the cleaning crew. I hope this is giving you insight as to why you are not completing your to do list. There is a lot demanding our time. The Sunday Basket® shines at contingent planning. On Sunday when you are making the week's plan, you can think through your meals, what if there is a snow day, what if a college doesn't meet their deadline. But you must plan at the end. We realized, in looking over the 80 questions submitted for the Sunday Basket® webinar in late December, that most of you aren't getting to the planning step. You should start with sorting index cards and going through slash pockets, then you do random tasks and managerial tasks, for me it's CFO stuff.  Lastly, PLAN!  I say it takes me 90 min to 3 hours because it depends on how much I do between sorting and planning. Pro tip: I plan Friday "in pencil." I take all the tasks I need to complete and fill them into time blocks based on importance of completion. I know though, that by Friday, some tasks will have overflowed to Friday. Life happened all week. Some items will have to go back to the Sunday Basket® and some items will be pushed to Friday. There has to be white space for flexibility. That's why we have to honestly answer, "Can it wait till Sunday?" This question may free up time that was already given to something you wanted to do not had to do. There just isn't enough time to get it all done but there is enough time, if you plan, to get all the important stuff done through planning.  Strategic Planning Strategic planning is the long term planning, like what we do on Planning Day, in the Productive Home Solution™. When planning, it is best to have uninterrupted time because it requires our working memory. We cannot change people so we modify the environment. We cannot eliminate distractions so we must have daily/weekly plans. Planning will never become a habit. But you can use things like the beginning of the school week to plan your weeks and the school year as a reminder to get some long term planning done. Strategic planning is how we get a grounding system in place to tackle the three types of planning; TMP, contingency, and strategic.  Planning is the ultimate self care.

Many couples going through divorce say the same thing: “We're amicable. We just want to get this done.” In this episode of Divorce Explored, a series within the We Chat Divorce podcast, Karen Chellew and Catherine Shanahan unpack what amicable actually means—and why emotional calm is not the same as financial clarity. With California introducing a new joint divorce petition option in 2026, couples may be able to start the divorce process together with less initial friction. But as Karen and Catherine explain, this procedural change does not reduce the financial work required to reach a fair, sustainable settlement. This conversation breaks down the real differences between contested vs. uncontested divorce, the hidden costs of rushing to agreement, and the financial red flags that quietly turn “easy divorces” into expensive ones. If you're considering an uncontested or joint filing—and want to stay amicable without sacrificing your financial future—this episode is essential listening. The difference between being emotionally amicable and financially transparent Why agreeing quickly can be more expensive than slowing down What California's 2026 joint petition option actually changes—and what it doesn't Common financial “agreement killers” in uncontested divorces Why keeping the house without a budget often backfires How missing documents, unclear income, or mixed business expenses derail settlements Why financial clarity can prevent conflict—not create it What it truly means to compare assets fairly (cash vs. retirement vs. property) Clarity is not conflict. Asking questions does not make a divorce adversarial—it makes it informed. Uncontested divorce still requires full financial discovery. Skipping this step creates costly mistakes. Joint petitions may lower emotional tension, but they don't reduce financial responsibility. Rushing creates regret. Many uncontested divorces become contested after new information emerges. If you can't explain your agreement in plain English, you're not ready to sign it. You may need more structure and support if: You can't access financial statements Income is variable, unclear, or disputed Business and personal spending are mixed New debt or unexplained transfers appear One spouse is afraid to ask financial questions The plan relies on “it will all work out” At My Divorce Solution, we help individuals and couples get financially organized before legal negotiations begin—so decisions are based on verified data, realistic budgets, and long-term stability.

Do you ever wake up to a sink full of dishes, no plan for dinner, and a morning that feels like it's already behind before it's begun? You're not alone. For those of us who struggle with clutter and chaos, mornings can feel like an uphill battle—but what if a simple 15-minute routine the night before could change everything? In this episode, Kathi and Roger Lipp dive into the concept of the "closing shift"—a short, intentional nighttime routine designed to set you up for success the next day. This isn't about deep cleaning or overhauling your entire home. It's about crisis prevention: doing a few small things tonight so tomorrow doesn't spiral into chaos. What You'll Learn in This Episode What the closing shift is and why it matters for cluttery people Five simple tasks that take just minutes but make a huge impact Why "out of sight, out of mind" works against us—and what to do about it Dopamine-friendly tweaks to make boring routines actually enjoyable How to use habit stacking and room mapping to save energy Tech tips like alarms and shared checklists to keep you on track Why systems that only work at 100% energy aren't really systems at all The Five Closing Shift Tasks Kathi shares five go-to tasks for an effective closing shift. You don't need to do all five—just pick three that fit your life: Load or unload the dishwasher – An empty dishwasher in the morning is like winning the lottery Prep food for tomorrow – Pull meat from the freezer, check ingredients, or prep a salad Do a 10-item put-away sprint – Clear items that have been "hanging out" too long Start a load of laundry – Towels, sheets, and basics can wash overnight Set up breakfast or coffee – There's nothing better than waking up to coffee that's ready to go Making It Fun: Dopamine-Friendly Tweaks Let's be honest—there's no natural dopamine hit in the closing shift. Nobody claps when you wipe down counters at 9 PM. But Kathi and Roger share creative ways to make it more rewarding: Reward yourself afterward (Roger's reward? Mario Kart!) Play energizing music during your routine Use a sticker chart—yes, even as an adult Make it a game: Can you unload the dishwasher before your oatmeal timer goes off? Key Takeaways This is not cleaning—this is crisis prevention. The closing shift isn't about having a perfect home. It's about being kind to your future self, saving money (no drive-through coffee!), and starting tomorrow from a place of calm instead of chaos. Remember: If your system only works when you're at 100%, it's not a system—it's a fantasy. Build routines that work even on your tired days, and give yourself grace when you need to restart.

257: In this episode, I'm joined by Kay Walker, a former short-term rental powerhouse who built a portfolio of 100+ Airbnb units before pivoting into land investing.(Show Notes: REtipster.com/257)We talk about her first accidental land deal, how she made more money with fewer headaches, and why she intentionally keeps her business small. Kay reveals how her STR experience shaped her land approach, how she transformed her direct mail strategy, and why control and creativity give her the edge.We also dig into her standout marketing tactics, why she mails everything herself, her thoughts on being a woman of color in this space, and what she'd do differently if she had to start over.If you want to learn land from someone who doesn't follow the typical playbook, this is it.

Most people “learn” by hoarding facts, which doesn't mean you understand them. Then you forget them all anyway... In this episode, learning stops being about cramming and starts being about curiousity. Using Richard Feynman's four-step technique, you'll find a mindset that will add joy into your learning whilst also making it effective. We unpack the learning pyramid, why lectures and highlights barely stick, and why embarrassment, curiosity and mild panic are actually your brain's upgrade buttons. By the end, you'll have a simple, repeatable system to turn any topic—from maths to marketing—into something you genuinely own, not just recognize. Turn any topic into a one-page “Feynman sheet” Use emotions (not more hours) to cement ideas Build a teaching habit that secretly becomes your study habit Hit play and turn your next confusing idea into something you could explain in your sleep.

Can goal attainment really be effortless? Yes! How? I'm sharing a science backed and real life proven strategy to, yes, attain your goals effortlessly with environment modification. Last week I told you to write everything down. Now what?  Your Brain On Paper If you were a good lil student, you have started to write down all of your interruptive thoughts. Stop trying to remember everything, just write it down! Now you have all of these thoughts on paper, your brain on paper and you may be overwhelmed.  The next step, is to decide can it wait till Sunday? If so, pop that baby into the Sunday Basket® for safe keeping until it can't wait. If not, add it to your to do list for the day. If you find you are always saying yes it can wait, but you don't have a lot of motivation to get it accomplished, it's ok to toss it. Our goals, energy, money, where we live, stage of family life, our house, and other factors change projects we want to do. You aren't going to get it all done because you aren't getting it all done now. Let yourself off the hook for projects you are not longer interested in finishing.  Evolution of Systems Our families are ever changing and I was reminded of this during my grand-turnity. Abby had her baby and I am home more helping to take care of her and my grandsons. I don't cook. But I do make Thanksgiving dinner. I thought it would be nice  to make until Greg pointed out that had I just asked Greg to do it, he would have. I abdicated cooking many years ago. Greg is used to cooking and didn't appreciate me taking up space in the fridge while the turkey defrosted. You see, back in the day saving money was the goal. My cooking and grocery shopping "reality" is from those days but our family has changed. I picked up a couple of turkeys while they were cheap around Thanksgiving knowing I'd be home after Abby had the baby. But I don't grocery shop or cook anymore. I could have saved a lot of my time and money had I just let Greg do it if  I had just thought about today's reality of my family dynamics and roles. Ok the next thing to consider is your environment. First, do you still need the blender on the counter? You know it's not about the actual blender, it's just an appliance or thing you may have on the counter that you are no longer using. Smoothies may have been an everyday thing that is no longer. I moved ours to the basement, sometimes I forget, I should just pop a lil note inside the cupboard to remind me. I mean, no one is looking in my cupboards. Is your environment supporting your current goals? Could you modify your environment to better support your goals?  Decluttering and Organizing Surfaces Thoughts I realized when I wanted to start adding collagen to my coffee that my environment was not set up to support my goals. I had about 9 steps to make my coffee, I'd get to my car and realize I had forgotten the collagen.  If you are trying to lose weight, remove the cookies and put fruit in that same place. You can't eat what is not in your house. And you can't rely solely on willpower. AND it signals cues to your brain about your new goals. Science shows that when your environment is modified you can attain your goals effortlessly. As you realize what you want to modify you will need to declutter and organize that space.  The Productive Home Solution may bring light to spaces you want to modify and it will walk you through the decluttering and functionality of that space. There is a caveat here. You will have more success if you have the foundation of the Sunday Basket® established because you will already be in the habit of writing down interruptive thoughts. I went through the thought process of setting up a coffee station. In moving things around, it brought to light the cup/bottle situation for my grandsons. I wrote things down and will take action on a Sunday. The time you spend modifying your spaces to match your goals will give back time to your future self. Then the systems you put in place will simply need to be maintained. The synergy between The Sunday Basket and The Productive Home Solution will have you saving time, cognitively offloading, gaining support for your goals and making better choices too!

Do you walk in the door exhausted, drop your keys somewhere random, and then spend the next morning frantically searching for them? You're not alone. The daily scavenger hunt for keys, wallets, and important mail is one of the most common—and fixable—sources of stress for anyone battling clutter. In this episode, Kathi Lipp and Roger Lipp get refreshingly honest about what's working in their home and what still needs improvement. They explore why those of us who struggle with clutter often resist boring systems in favor of exciting quick fixes—and why that approach keeps us stuck in crisis mode. What Listeners Will Discover Why "boring systems" are actually the secret to lasting clutter freedom How dopamine-seeking behavior sabotages our best organizing intentions The three components of an effective landing pad system Real examples of what's working (and what's not) in the Lipp household How to pair unpleasant tasks with rewards to build lasting habits A simple script for walking in the door that takes seconds but saves hours The Landing Pad System A landing pad is simply a designated spot near your entry where everything that comes in and goes out of your home has a place. Kathi Lipp and Roger Lipp share their wins—like the hook system inside a cabinet for keys and the staging chair for outgoing items—plus their ongoing struggle with mail management. The key insight? Systems don't have to be perfect to be helpful. They share their real-time brainstorming session for solving their mail problem, complete with choosing a location, setting a weekly processing time, and—critically—pairing the task with a treat. Key Takeaways Boring systems prevent daily emergencies - Like flossing prevents expensive dental bills, a landing pad prevents the morning panic of lost keys Reduce resistance - Put your organizational systems in the natural flow of movement through your home Pair hard tasks with rewards - The "Monday Munchies" approach ties an unpleasant task to something enjoyable Out of sight is out of mind - For clutter-prone people, avoid containers with lids for items that need regular attention Create a script - A simple routine (hang keys, sort mail, done) removes decision fatigue Whether you're starting from scratch or fine-tuning an existing system, this episode provides practical, doable steps to create a landing pad that actually works for real life—not just for Instagram.

256: In this episode, I sit down with Jon Jasniak. Jon built a $13M+ land empire by specializing in large-scale land deals, subdividing properties, and selling with seller financing. He even bought an entire town in West Texas (yes, really).(Show Notes: REtipster.com/256)We talk about how he got started, why he left a $200K engineering job, the power of Facebook ads, big wins and costly mistakes in subdivisions, and how he plans to scale to $100M. If you're into land flipping, seller financing, or developing property at scale. This is a must-listen!

Ozempic is to food chatter as Index cards are to the invisible work of being a household manager. We write any thought down, cognitive offloading, and free up capacity to THINK. As household managers we aren't struggling so much with the housework, it's all of the invisible thoughts that interrupt what we were doing and now can't remember what we need to do. We are constantly volleying between working memory and prospective memory!  Your working memory is your primary executive function. I want your working memory to serve its actual purpose, not just remembering to put the clothes in the dryer. What does that mean? Catch the full episode!!   New Rules Imagine you head back to school after break and the school says that's it, no more backpacks, lockers, or computers. You must carry everything with you throughout the day.  That's a lot to carry right? But we practice this everyday when we try to remember everything with no support staff, no help. And as soon as we think of something we need to do there's a "ding", a notification, a text, an interruption. So just like they gave new rules, I have a new rule for you…write everything down. It's hard to keep trying to remember everything -that's what working memory is - your brain constantly reminding you of what needs to get done. There is science backing the idea that writing things down helps with recall.  One study I shared confirmed yes it's better for recall and another study backed that hypothesis up with an MRI showing different blood flow when we hold a pen and write on paper than even a stylist to a screen.  May I point out that when you are pen to paper there is no notification or anything else interrupting your thought process other than other thoughts. Which if you write each one down they won't interrupt your mindfulness. You can stay focused on your current task. I explained all of this when I gave the example of something as simple as trying to input a passcode. The amount of things that can interrupt you when you are simply "sending yourself a passcode" to then enter on an app, site, or browser that you need, is comical.   I accidentally started using this system, which has proven effective, a long time ago of just writing everything down. And in this fast paced world with notifications distracting you continuously, it's a system to record what you want to remember (Prospective Memory)…what have you got to lose? Go grab a 5 pack of index cards and let your brain's flood gates open, then start writing them down.  Got a Full Classroom? Now imagine that you are the professor. Your working memory (the ability to hold information in your mind and manipulate it to complete work) is the classroom. It's orientation day for over 100 freshman college students. Can you hear all that chatter of the students? Can you even think? All those students are your thoughts. Now, you can clear out that classroom by writing down each thought. You write down the thought, the student leaves the classroom, and you gain back some of your working memory. That's why we write every thought down. You need to quiet your brain so you can think, not remember simple tasks like housework. Just because you are born a girl does not mean you innate know this skill.  Do the System A system works best when you do the system. If you've heard me say it once, then you've heard me say it a thousand times, write down every thought!  Pen to index card. Once you start to cognitively offload your thoughts (to move from your brain to your environment) you free up capacity allowing you to tackle much bigger tasks. Now that you have everything written down, there is no magic that all the sudden everything gets completed. Tune in next week because I am going to tell you the next step and explain why it works.

Drawing on over 10 years in business, she shares how her schedule evolved from chaotic, meeting-heavy days into an intentional weekly rhythm designed for leadership. Emma walks through how she divides her week – internal company days, client-facing meeting blocks, flexible strategy and travel days, and no-meeting Fridays – explaining not just how it works, but why it works. She also explores the importance of delegation, focus time, and adapting your calendar to different seasons of business. Whether you're resetting your schedule at the start of the year or feeling overwhelmed by constant meetings, this episode offers practical insight (and permission) to design a calendar that truly supports you, your team, and your growth. Listen in as Emma explains: How to structure a weekly CEO calendar that supports scalable growth Why reducing meetings is essential for founder focus and leadership How to design a calendar that evolves with your business seasons   And much, much more!   Connect with Ninety Five Media: Check out our website: ninetyfivemedia.co  Follow us on Instagram: instagram.com/ninety.five.media     Grow your brand's social media presence with us:  Tell us about your business goals and explore how our social media management services can help you reach them! ninetyfivemedia.co/stop-scrolling-start-scaling-inquiry

On today's Indypendent News Hour, we spoke with Ximena Bustamante, founder of the Undocumented Women's Fund and an organizer with NYC-DSA's Latinas Socialistas, about organizing efforts that are underway across New York City to thwart ICE and to build the kind of massive civilian resistance movement seen in Minneapolis.

Do you ever find yourself standing in a store, holding something pretty, and wondering if you should bring it home? Or maybe you're staring at a cluttered counter, feeling overwhelmed but unsure where to start? What if there was a way to make every home decision easier—before you even have to make it? In this episode of Clutter-Free Academy, Kathi Lipp and brand manager Tenneil Register continue their conversation about creating a "brand" for your home. This isn't about logos or marketing—it's about intentionally deciding in advance what you value so that every future decision practically makes itself. What You'll Discover in This Episode If you've been struggling to maintain an organized home or find yourself constantly second-guessing purchases and decisions, this episode offers a practical framework that will change everything. Kathi and Tenneil walk through 10 pre-decisions that form the foundation of your home brand: Your season – Understanding what phase of life you're in right now Your three vibe words – The feelings you want your home to evoke What you're NOT – Clarifying what kind of household you don't want to be A simple color palette – Creating visual flow throughout your space Your style sentence – Connecting your words to your purpose Your shopping filter – Four questions to ask before any purchase Your landing pad – Where real life meets intentional living Your surfaces policy – Which spaces stay clutter-free no matter what A calendar rule – Protecting your peace through boundaries Your weekly reset ritual – How to maintain your brand week after week The Four-Question Shopping Filter One of the most powerful tools shared in this episode is the shopping filter. Before bringing anything new into your home, ask: Does it fit the vibe? Does it fit the palette or style? Do we have a home for it? Does it reduce effort or add effort? If you get a yes to all four, move forward. If any answer is no, pause on that decision. Key Takeaways Creating a home brand isn't about perfection—it's about progress. As Tenneil reminds listeners, "A brand is ever being made. It's always being worked on. It's not a one and done." The goal is to enjoy the process of establishing, creating, and adjusting your brand as you go. Start with your three vibe words, then pick just three items from the list of ten pre-decisions. Let your home brand develop slowly over time, and watch how much easier every decision becomes.

255: In this episode, I talk with Jeremy Brown, a land investor with a fascinating backstory. Before land, Jeremy spent 17 years in publishing, helping authors write and market books in a way that built authority and launched businesses.(Show Notes: REtipster.com/255)But when his son was born with severe bilateral clubfoot, everything changed. His family hit the road in a sprinter van, traveling the country for treatment, and land investing became the only thing that could keep them financially afloat while working 10–15 hours a week.We cover Jeremy's pivot from publishing to real estate, how he made over $18K on a deal that paid for critical treatment, the power of storytelling in seller conversations, and the “BURN” framework that helps investors unlock off-market deals by using their life story.

In this episode, Jason Schroeder explains why most companies struggle with flow when they're organized around departments and what changes when you reorganize people around value streams instead. He shows how "department islands" create handoff friction, local efficiency, and competing priorities, while value-stream organization aligns business development, pre-con, operations, and support functions around what the customer actually needs delivered. The result is better flow, clearer ownership, repeatable systems, and performance metrics that measure the end-to-end outcome, not just how busy each department is. What you'll learn in this episode: What a value stream is and why it matters more than department efficiency. How siloed departments create waste, friction, and broken handoffs. How organizing by geography (podium/skin/tower) mirrors value-stream thinking on projects. Why value-stream organization enables repeatable systems and better support for crews. How to measure performance by value-stream outcomes instead of local department metrics. Where in your company are people optimized for department "efficiency," when what you really need is flow all the way to the customer and the field?

The 4 Categories of What to Keep as Reference 1. Identity & Legal Documents that establish who you are: Birth certificate Passport Social Security card Marriage or divorce records Name change documents These are foundational and worth keeping accessible. 2. Financial & Tax Documents tied to money and compliance: Last 7 years of tax returns Current-year financial records Property deeds or titles Insurance policies Older financial paperwork is rarely needed beyond this window. 3. Medical Documents that support continuity of care: Vaccination records Major diagnoses or procedures Current insurance information Stacks of old printouts are usually unnecessary. 4. Home Documents related to the home you live in now: Warranties for items you still own Manuals you actually reference Major repair or renovation records If it doesn't support your current home, it likely doesn't need to stay.   Hey guys, In this episode, we focus on the Organize step — the point where mental clutter turns into structure.

I left you hangin' in the last episode as to what the mindset shift is that you must have so that you can be a productive person. It's Discipline. And discipline is my word for this year. "Discipline is the bridge between goals and accomplishment" - Jim Rohn What is the definition? -Some of you may have a negative knee jerk reaction to the word discipline. Ready for me to reframe discipline in you mind? It is… -The act of gaining control with obedience and order (like holding yourself accountable to picking up after yourself.) -Having behavior in accordance with rules (like the Sunday Basket®) -Self Control - you can struggle or you can remove items from your environment that have you have effortless self control can't eat a cookie you didn't buy and bring home.  -An activity you engage in regularly to train or inspire ones self. -A subject taught or field of study (like the study of home management.) -An institution If you are listening to the podcast, odds are that you are learning discipline in the area of home management. But you do not get the results from the work you do not do. You must do the work.  What Does Discipline Look Like?  Setting and achieving goals is changing your own actions and disciplining yourself to being the person who has already achieved what you want to achieve. So I gave the example of me working out. I used to want our whole family to get healthy and work out together. Not gonna happen. So I have decided to do it for myself to achieve the goals I have for myself. And along with working out, I have changed the way I eat. My husband would prefer a meal that "makes sense and 'matches.'" A lady at work introduced us all to ingredient eating. Basically you cook the protein, pull out all kinds of things from the fridge like fruits and veggies to compliment the protein and eat what you like.  This would be my preference! So I workout and eat like the person who has already accomplished my goal and support my family in other areas rather than meal preparation and working out with them.  And the more you do those things, the easier that discipline is. If you ask a productive person how they became that way, they may not be able to tell you. Because they disciplined themselves in one area till it got easier and then moved on to another area.  And know, once you get a system in place, it will change. It will change with your family and phase of life you are in.  Time Blocks = Confidence So you see why you need to be disciplined in the time blocks if you want to be a productive person. Time blocks are just these guard rails to keep you on track and systematize your time and responsibilities. Discipline yourself to do the work and it will become easier. I shared some stats to help you see this is not a "you thing."  This is a field of study, a discipline, to learn how to train ourselves, bring control to, and impose order in our housework and home management. Discipline yourself to process your Sunday Basket® so that you gain confidence in this area. Discipline yourself to start watching the videos to the programs you have purchased. Do you know people who are organized are perceived as more confident? And you know what else? People feel more confident when they are organized! Dave Ramsey said "You can wander into debt but you can't wander out of it." And the same is for disorganization you can wander into but you can't wander out of it…you must discipline yourself. You must have a mindset shift.  EPISODE RESOURCES: The Sunday Basket® The Productive Home Solution Sign Up for the Organize 365® Newsletter  Did you enjoy this episode?

Have you ever walked into someone's home and immediately sensed that the space was intentional—that the people living there knew exactly who they were and what they wanted their home to be? And then walked back into your own home feeling like something was... off? Here's the truth most of us don't want to admit: if you don't decide on a purpose for your home, your home will decide for you. And your wallet will follow that unintentional path, leaving you with a space full of "almost right" purchases that never quite work together. In this episode, Kathi Lipp sits down with brand manager and home organization expert Tenneil Register to explore a concept that might surprise you: your home already has a brand. The question is—did you choose it, or did it happen by accident? What You'll Discover in This Episode Why that cute pillow from Target doesn't work in your living room (and what to do about it) The five "default brands" homes accidentally adopt—and how to tell which one is yours How to stop panic buying before parties and events A simple 3-word exercise to clarify how you want your home to look and feel Why removing things often works better than adding more The difference between living in fantasy and building toward realistic goals The Default Brands You Might Be Living With Tenneil shares five accidental home brands that many families fall into: The Storage Unit: You're holding everyone else's stuff The Almost Ready for Company House: You'll invite people over "after" something that never comes The Last Minute Scramble House: You tear the place apart just trying to get out the door The Good Intentions House: Full of started-but-not-finished projects The 3-Word Exercise That Changes Everything Kathi shares her simple but powerful approach: choose three words that describe how you want your home to feel in this season. Her words? Cozy, clean, and restorative. These words become a filter for every decision—from furniture purchases to party prep to daily routines. Some words to consider: calm, welcoming, practical, simple, flexible, bright, playful, uncluttered, fancy, sleek, or minimalist. The key is choosing words that are both realistic for your current season and aspirational enough to guide your decisions. Key Takeaways A home brand isn't just an aesthetic—it's a set of decisions you make in advance about how you want your space to look and feel When you panic buy, it's either the best purchase ever or the worst—90% of the time, it's the worst Planning for the long run of how you'll actually live prevents reactive, emotional decisions You're always building toward your brand—you never fully "arrive" Embracing your home's physical and emotional limits helps you create realistic goals Stay tuned for next week's episode where Kathi and Tenneil turn those three words into pre-decisions about color, style, spending, and a yes/no filter for every home decision.

254: In this episode, I'm talking with Claude Diamond, a legendary sales coach, real estate investor, former attorney, and the creator of the G.U.T.S. Sales Method. In this conversation, we dive deep into how real persuasion works in real estate and why most land investors get it completely wrong.(Show Notes: REtipster.com/254)We covered the real psychology of sales: why most training misses the mark, how to turn prospects into the salesperson, the power of silence, emotional decision-making, qualifying fast with a 3-minute timer, and why enthusiasm + value beats every script. Claude shares raw stories, role-plays, and his “Gut Selling” philosophy that's made him financially free and is still helping investors worldwide.If you're tired of rejection, shiny-object syndrome, or just sending more mail without better conversations, this is the one you've been waiting for.

Jason explains a hard truth many teams avoid: you cannot improve chaos. Through real project stories, he shows why coaching tasks and pushing harder never works when a site is disorganized, unsafe, and unstable. This episode breaks down why cleanliness, order, and standards are not optional and why stability must come before any attempt at improvement. What You'll Learn In This Episode: Why improvement efforts fail when a project is chaotic. How cleanliness, safety, and organization create real control on a project. Why projects finished in chaos stay late, over budget, and burned out. The role of stability and standardization as the foundation of improvement. How lean thinking collapses without a clean, safe, organized environment. Why "bright ideas" don't matter if the system isn't stable. How 5S directly supports production, flow, and reliability. The visual difference between improvement in chaos vs. improvement with standards. If you want to apply this immediately, stop trying to fix outcomes and start fixing the environment. Clean the site. Remove excess inventory. Organize the laydown. Make safety and order non-negotiable. Once the project is stable, then and only then continuous improvement actually works.

In this episode, we explore the Society for Vascular Surgery (SVS) Quality Improvement (QI) Consulting Program, a free member benefit that supports vascular surgeons in designing, executing, and refining QI projects across all stages—from problem identification to dissemination. We're joined by Dr. Samantha Minc, a vascular surgeon and faculty member at Duke University, and Dr. Ashley Vavra, an Associate Professor of Surgery at Northwestern Feinberg School of Medicine and chair of the SVS Quality Improvement Committee. Both bring extensive experience in vascular care and quality-focused clinical practice. Together, they break down how the QI Consulting Program helps clinicians: Develop SMART goals and clear project aims Identify stakeholders and select appropriate methodologies Organize timelines and communication plans Track process measures and assess intervention impact Troubleshoot challenges and prepare presentation or publication materials They also outline what the program does not provide—such as data analysis, formal instruction, or long-term mentorship—to help members understand its intended scope. The application process is straightforward: SVS members may apply during the first two weeks of each month, with up to five projects accepted per cycle. This episode stresses the value of QI in vascular surgery and offers a practical, accessible overview of how the QI Consulting Program can support meaningful improvement efforts in vascular practices.

Do you start every new year with big decluttering goals only to feel defeated by February? What if there was a gentler, more sustainable approach to creating a clutter-free home—one that doesn't rely on shame or all-or-nothing thinking? In this powerful episode, Kathi Lipp continues her workshop on making 2026 your most clutter-free year ever. But here's the twist: it's not about dramatic resolutions or punishing yourself into organization. It's about understanding your relationship with your home and aligning your space with the life you're actually living right now. What You'll Discover in This Episode Kathi dives deep into a mindset shift that changes everything: your home is not a museum, and it's not a punishment—it's a tool. Like a Swiss Army knife, your home serves multiple functions, and when you start treating it as a support system rather than a storage locker, everything shifts. You'll learn why your home needs boundaries, not heroics—and what that looks like practically. From containers that define limits (using only what you already have!) to making decisions that prevent "stuff creep," Kathi offers actionable wisdom that meets you where you are. The Procrastination-Clutter Connection One of the most eye-opening moments in this episode? Kathi's revelation that procrastination is just perfectionism leaking out in an annoying way. If you've ever felt paralyzed looking at a cluttered space, unable to start because you can't do it "right," this insight will set you free. Kathi shares her one-minute technique for breaking through that paralysis with kindness. Reframing Your Resolutions Instead of "I'm never shopping again," try "I'm learning to delight in what I already have." Instead of "No more craft stores," try "I'm scheduling time to actually use my crafts." Kathi walks through practical reframes that honor your desires while creating sustainable change. Key Takeaways Your house is always talking to you—clutter is just saying "this is too much" Aim for 85% organized, not perfection (even Kathi doesn't expect 100%!) Shopping takes time—reclaim that time for things you truly want to do Don't declutter alone—community support makes all the difference Be gentle with yourself: your body's procrastination is trying to protect you Whether you're just starting your decluttering journey or you've been at it for years, this episode offers a fresh perspective that honors both your home and your humanity. Because you deserve to live in a space that matches the life you're actually living—not the life you think you should be living.

Ok, it's another peek into my brain. I'm sharing the things I want to follow me into the new year and things that I'm leaving in 2025. I thought it would be beneficial for you to hear my thoughts behind these decisions and get you thinking about how you want 2026 to look for you. Planning provides a lens of calm. Somehow when a plan is in place, even if it changes, it is not as jarring as when you have to react to change with "emergency energy."  What will be joining me As I think about 2026 approaching, there are some significant changes happening in my life. Abby will have baby number two soon and the PhD is not consuming as much of my time. So, I am looking at the extra time. I want to be intentional with showing up for Abby, taking care of my body, and due to circumstances not yet resolved, looks like I will be doing a lot more housework.  This next 120 days I'm viewing as my "grand(ma)turnity leave." I am excited for Planning Day, where I take the time to really look at my time and plug in my priorities of being a grandma and think about how I want to use all this time I am getting back. When it comes to my housework I plan to run the vacuum robot more frequently after getting some listener feedback and tips. And I will run the dishwasher daily which is more frequent than we currently do. I am looking at the time I used to give to the PhD and filling it with my new goals. I am keeping the Tovola that is in alignment with eating healthy. But will likely add in a little meal prepping to accommodate how I want to eat and Grayson's egg allergy eating regimen. So, on Thursdays, I'll be doing mid week laundry and some housekeeping. And on Saturdays you will find me at the gym with Grayson. You will find me with Grayson a lot in the next 120 days "sucking up all my time." And I wouldn't have it any other way.  What will get left behind Sit down. I'm leaving Culver's in 2025!!  Never did I think this day would come but I want to build a healthy body, I still have 46 years to live and I'm really looking at my food right now. Doggy Daycare is closing and the house keeper won't clean with Hunter home, so no housekeeper.  I will be home longer in the mornings so no more coffee and breakfast at the office. And I'm ditching ithe Oura ring. That thing was frustrating me. I disagreed with it too much. And I want to wear my nice jewlery! I'm ditching my gardening shorts and Organize 365® v-necks for clothes for workout clothes that better match how I identify; as a person who works out. Late night bedtimes are going away too because I want to have plenty of energy for the Abby, Grayson, and working out. My Golden Window is Ending I have been spoiled getting to take two luxurious hours each Sunday morning to process my Sunday Basket® upstairs and with little Grayson in tow pretty soon, I will not be able to. I have my Sunday Basket® upstairs and another in my kitchen which is basically Abby's Sunday Basket®. I plan to break my normal processing time into two different 1 hour chunks. I think I'll read all the things while Grayson is bathing which will account for about 1 hour or a little less. And I'm auditioning other time blocks for the remaining hour I will need for thinking, planning, and billpay. I will solidify this likely in Planning Day. Now is the time to go into your 2026 Sunday Basket® and grab all those ideas you wrote down and bring them to Planning Day. Those are the ideas and intentions you wanted to consider for the new year. Yes, this community is planning 2026 already. This community does not think you are weird. When you plan now, you get to execute on Jan 1. But if you want till the dust settles in the new year, it'll be the 5th - the 9th before you start planning let alone executing.  EPISODE RESOURCES: The Sunday Basket® The Paper Solution® The Productive Home Solution Sign Up for the Organize 365® Newsletter  Did you enjoy this episode?
