I also share with you some new habits and lifestyle changes that I'm trying to make that you can hopefully find some value in as well.

Over the years, I've learned that simplifying your home isn't just about where you put things or what nifty little storage bins you should buy to put things in. There is actually soooo much more to it than that. Organizing your home and simplifying your life has a lot to do with your mindsets, not just storage tips. Which is why, I always say that I specialize in the psychology behind home organizing. For today's episode, I share with you a "mindset strategy" that I use for certain clients. And I even use it myself, at times... because it works.

Today's myth is a big one. It is a misconception we all tend to believe. Here it is: Before you organize, you need to buy the perfect containers. Well, that's not necessarily true. The fact is you don't always know what the perfect containers are going to be - or if you are going to even need them at all - until AFTER you organize your stuff. On today's episode I explain what it means to organize backwards and how not to fall in that trap.

Have you ever wondered why some people never seem to arrive to places on time? Now I know that everyone is late now and then, but I'm talking about people who tend to run late MOST of the time. Maybe it's only 5, 10, or 15 minutes late on occasion, so it's not always so noticeable. In those cases, they are late enough that it isn’t detrimental to their event, but still a little annoying to those around them. But then there are those who run anywhere from 30 minutes to over an hour late. Know anyone like that? Today, I have a confession for you. My confession is that I used to struggle with being on time. Kinda ironic, isn't it, considering I'm technically a Time Management Specialist. I guess it's just a classic case of "the cobbler's children go barefoot and have no shoes." I can say that I've gotten MUCH better over the years, because I used to be really bad. I was rarely ever more than 20 minutes late, but I was chronically 5-15 minutes late most of the time. Like I said, I've gotten much better, but I still find that I struggle with it. In today's episode I reveal WHY most people are habitually late... because there is a lot of psychology behind it. And then we talk about a handful of practical solutions, tips, and techniques that I've applied to my own life that can definitely help you to be on time more often.

Have you ever noticed, whenever you go to a scheduled event, meeting, or party, that about 1 in 5 people show up late? If you're a punctual person, you've for sure noticed it... probably because you get a little annoyed by habitually late people. A study done at San Francisco State University found that about 20% of the U.S. population is chronically late. And while it does seem very rude and inconsiderate (especially to people who tend to always be on time), it’s not necessarily because they don’t value others’ time. It's a lot more complicated than that. I know this because, like I confessed way back in episode #19, I used to struggle with being on time. Yes, kind of ironic, since I am technically a time management specialist. Over the years, I've gotten much better. And now, I actually tend to be a little early to events. Considering being about 5-10 minutes late was an ingrained habit since I was in my teens, it took a lot for me to change my ways. Not only did I have to evaluate my mindsets and figure out WHY I was always late, but I also had to change my relationship with time. Just like chronically late people tend to baffle those who tend to be on time, punctual people tend to bewilder those that are always late. I remember I used to look at who are always on time to everything and I'd wonder, "how is it that they are always on time? How do I turn into someone like that? Someone who shows up early and finishes projects with time to spare?" Yes, to me, those people were mystifying. But if you ever want to be more successful in any area of life, you need to take a look at what other successful people are doing. So for today's episode of Life Made Simple, we look at exactly what punctual people do to be punctual. We look at 7 habits of people who are always on time. It’s never too late to stop being late.

Now I have to give you a heads up, today's episode is a Part 2 to last week's regular Monday episode, Episode #25. It was a special Ask CarlaRae segment where I addressed a question that I received while speaking at a Mom's group recently. The question was, "How can I help my child let go of stuff?" If you missed that episode, you might wanna push pause on this one and go back to listen to it. You can find it on my website at CarlaRaeArneson.com/episode25. Or just go to LifeMadeSimplePodcast.com. Sometimes, kids have really hard time letting go of the toys and clothes that they grow out of. Like I explained in last week's episode, I have ALOT of personal experience in regards to this subject. Not only was I a pack rat as a child, but I now have a 6 year old son who is also a pack rat. There's just so much psychology behind why we hang on to things when we shouldn't. And by understanding that psychology, you can better help guide your child to get to a point where there are comfortable letting things go. But it definitely takes time and a lot of patience! So in last week's episode I give you some tips and techniques on how and where to help your child donate their unused and unwanted toys, books, and clothes. But many of you are going to find that no matter what you say or do, your child is still going to have a really hard time letting things go. So what can you do if your child just refuses to let go of anything? What can you do if your child is a true packrat? Well, that's what I talk about on today's Part 2 episode. I am give you some very specific strategies on how to help your child let go of things if they tend to be overly attached. And then, whether your child is a packrat or not, I'm going to give you some tips on how to prevent the clutter from coming back into your child's room.

Have you ever wondered why some people never seem to arrive to places on time? Now I know that everyone is late now and then, but I'm talking about people who tend to run late most of the time. Surely you must know someone in your life who is habitually late for almost everything. Some may run only 5, 10, 15 minutes late on occasion, so it's not always so noticeable. In those cases, they are late enough that it isn’t detrimental to their event, but still a little annoying to those around them. But then there are those who run anywhere from 30 minutes to over an hour late. Know anyone like that? Well, no matter how late one might tend to be or how often, being late can become a bad habit. It's never good! Chronically late people can be so frustrating and baffling to anyone stuck waiting for them. Yet, it can be so hard to change that habit. Unfortunately, for a good percentage of Americans, three little words accompany their entrance into most business meetings, gym class, dinner with friends, or even dates... those three words are “Sorry, I’m late.” Again, I'm sure you know people who say those three words on a daily basis. And you might actually be able to admit that you are, in fact, one of those people. Are you a habitually late person? Well, I'm not sure if you noticed, but in the title of this episode it says "CarlaRae Confesses"... that's because every once in awhile on Life Made Simple, we are going to feature a special "CarlaRae Confesses" episode where Yours Truly confesses and talks about an area of my own life that I need extra help in... areas of my life that I need to simplify. Because, I'm definitely not perfect! So today, I have a confession for you. My confession is that I struggle with being on time. Yup, I hate to admit it, but I tend to run late sometimes. Kinda ironic, isn't it, considering I'm technically a Time Management Specialist. I guess it's just a classic case of "the cobbler's children go barefoot and have no shoes." Now, I can say that I've gotten MUCH better over the years, because I used to be really bad. I was rarely ever more than 20 minutes late, but I was chronically 5-15 minutes late most of the time. Like I said, I've gotten much better, but I still find that I struggle with it. In today's episode I reveal WHY most people are habitually late... because there is a lot of psychology behind it. And then we talk about a handful of practical solutions, tips, and techniques that I've applied to my own life that can definitely help you to be on time more often.
