Part 1 The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up by Marie Kondō Summary"The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up" by Marie Kondo presents a unique approach to decluttering and organizing living spaces. Kondo, a professional organizing consultant from Japan, introduces the KonMari Method, which emphasizes tidying by category rather than location and focuses on keeping only those items that “spark joy” in your life. Key Concepts:The Joy Check: At the core of Kondo's method is the idea that you should only keep items that bring you joy. This encourages individuals to create a more meaningful and joyful living environment.Tidying by Category: Kondo suggests decluttering by specific categories: clothes, books, papers, komono (miscellaneous items), and sentimental items. Each category should be tackled in this order to simplify the process and prevent overwhelm.The Right Mindset: Kondo stresses the importance of having the right mindset towards decluttering. This involves respecting your belongings and understanding why you want to tidy up to foster a sense of gratitude for the items in your life.The Importance of a `Tidying Up` Day: Instead of doing small tidying sessions over time, Kondo advocates for a one-time, thorough tidying event. This allows individuals to see a complete transformation in their space, therefore motivating them to maintain a tidy home.Organizing Things Properly: Once decluttering is complete, Kondo provides advice on how to organize what you choose to keep. This includes storing items in a manner that makes them easily accessible and visible, enhancing the efficiency and aesthetics of the space.Mental Clarity and Life Transformation: Kondo believes that tidying up does more than just clean your space; it can also lead to mental clarity and emotional well-being. The process often prompts individuals to reflect on their values and priorities in life. Conclusion:"The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up" offers not only practical tips for decluttering but also a philosophy that encourages readers to lead a more intentional and joyful life. The book emphasizes the connection between our physical space and emotional state, making it a significant resource for anyone looking to simplify and enhance their personal environment.Part 2 The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up AuthorMarie Kondo is a Japanese organizing consultant, author, and television show host, best known for her unique approach to decluttering and tidying up.

In this episode, Lewis and Wem are joined by Justine from Curious and Kind Nature Play in Florida. The conversation began when all three spoke at a webinar hosted by Peter Gray and quickly turned into a shared curiosity around the tensions of tidying up in play-based education.This is not a how-to guide. It is a rich exploration of roles, expectations, neurodivergence, community care, and the invisible moral weight we place on children when it comes to cleaning up. Whether you model tidying, mandate it, ignore it entirely, or wrestle with it daily, this episode invites you to reflect deeply on what your approach communicates about power, responsibility, and play.

Does your child struggle to keep their space tidy? Do you feel like you're constantly nagging, yet nothing changes?You're not alone.

Are you the kind of person who needs a pristine, orderly environment for you to feel relaxed? Or perhaps being surrounded by your clutter isn't a big deal – it might even bring you comfort. 'Professional organisers', who help people declutter their space, have grown in popularity in recent years, particularly on the internet. But does shedding your possessions always make you happier? Or, does clutter matter? 您是那种需要原始，有序的环境以使您感到放松的人吗？也许被您的混乱包围并不是什么大问题 - 甚至可能为您带来安慰。帮助人们整理空间的“专业组织者”近年来越来越受欢迎，尤其是在互联网上。但是，放弃您的财产总是会让您更快乐？还是杂物很重要？ Living in a messy space can have various negative effects on our lives. For example, a study called 'No Place Like Home' by Repetti and Saxbe, found that mothers with messy homes had higher levels of the stress hormone cortisol and an increased depressed mood throughout the day. Messy homes can also make it harder to fall asleep, according to the 2021 study 'The association between sleep and late life hoarding', and no one wants that! 生活在一个混乱的空间中会对我们的生活产生各种负面影响。例如，一项名为Repetti和Saxbe的名为“ No Toble Home”的研究发现，拥有凌乱的房屋的母亲的压力激素皮质醇水平更高，并且全天的情绪降低。根据2021年的研究“睡眠与晚期ho积之间的关联”，杂乱无章的房屋也很难入睡，没有人想要！ So perhaps Marie Kondo, author of 'The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying', was on to something when she said, "tidying can transform your life". To achieve Kondo's style of minimalism, she recommends gathering all your things together, choosing which items 'spark joy' and then discarding the rest. Some may find it invigorating to begin again on a clean slate, while others, particularly extreme hoarders, can find the process anxiety-inducing, because of an attachment to their belongings. 因此，也许玛丽·昆多（Marie Kondo）是《整洁生活的魔法》的作者，他说：“整理可以改变您的生活”。为了实现Kondo的极简主义风格，她建议将所有的东西聚集在一起，选择哪些项目“ Spark Joy”，然后丢弃其余的东西。有些人可能会发现重新开始以干净的板岩开始令人振奋，而另一些人，尤其是极端ho积者，由于对物品的依恋，可以找到引起焦虑的过程。 Then there are those who simply enjoy collecting. Vintage style expert Kate Beavis has a home filled with handbags, toys, phones and cookware from the 1960s. Others may call this clutter, but she argues that minimalist homes are "boring and bland". Some items may not have a practical use, but instead hold sentimental value, and spark joy in a nostalgic way. And things that "evoke happy memories are valuable, especially to people with memory problems," says Chris Stiff, senior lecturer in psychology at Keele University. 然后有些人只是喜欢收集。复古风格的专家凯特·比维斯（Kate Beavis）拥有一个房屋，里面有1960年代的手袋，玩具，电话和炊具。其他人可能会称这个混乱，但她认为极简主义的房屋“无聊而平淡”。有些项目可能没有实际用途，而是具有感性的价值，并以怀旧的方式引发喜悦。Keele大学心理学高级讲师Chris Stiff说，“唤起人们的回忆唤起幸福的回忆是有价值的，尤其是对记忆问题的人来说都是有价值的。”Maybe a giant mess isn't all bad. And as Albert Einstein once said, "If a cluttered desk is a sign of a cluttered mind, of what, then, is an empty desk a sign?" 也许巨大的烂摊子并不是全部不好。正如阿尔伯特·爱因斯坦（Albert Einstein）曾经说过的那样：“如果杂乱无章的桌子是杂乱无章的迹象，那么什么是空的桌子呢？”词汇表pristine 整洁的，崭新的orderly 井然有序的clutter 杂乱的东西declutter 清理，整理shed 丢弃possession 所有物messy 脏乱的，不整洁的cortisol 皮质醇hoarding 囤积tidy 整理，使…整洁on to something 发现某事的真相minimalism 极简主义spark joy 激发快乐，引起愉悦discard 丢弃invigorating 令人充满活力的clean slate 一张白纸，比喻崭新的开始hoarder 喜欢囤积东西的人collecting 收集，收藏sentimental value 情感价值nostalgic 怀旧的

This week, I'm excited to welcome Tyler Moore, also known as Tidy Dad, to the show to discuss his new book, Tidy Up Your Life: Rethinking How to Organize, Declutter, and Make Space for What Matters. Tyler is a teacher, writer, and advocate for creating intentional, organized spaces that support well-being. Through his Tidy Dad brand, he shares practical strategies for simplifying life and focusing on what truly matters. In this conversation, we cover: The Birth of Tidy Dad: Tyler shares how a personal turning point led him to embrace tidying and organization as a means to regain control over his life. Tidying as a Mental and Physical Process: The book is divided into two key sections—tidying up your mind and tidying up your space. Tyler explains why internal clarity is just as important as external organization. The Power of Just Enough: Instead of strict minimalism, Tyler introduces the idea of finding “just enough” to create balance and space for what truly matters. Breaking Big Tasks into Manageable Steps: He discusses how breaking overwhelming projects into smaller steps leads to sustainable, lasting change. Balancing Family, Work, and Home Responsibilities: Tyler shares insights on how his family collaborates to maintain an organized, functional living space and how these principles extend beyond the home. Tyler's approach is relatable and practical, making organization feel achievable rather than overwhelming.

Tracey Curtis-Taylor, (on the cover of the Winter OQ) is an adventurous aviator, who has retraced some of the most epic routes in flying history, from Capetown to London across the length of Africa, retracing Lady Heath's journey in 1928, and another from England to Australia, flying the same route as Amy Johnson in 1930. She now flies a 1940 Boeing Steerman, and joins the Commemorative Air Force in Camarillo in their events. Curtis-Taylor has created an educational program designed to get more women into flying, as the industry faces a dire pilot shortage and, with fewer than 5 percent of airline pilots as women, they need recruits. She wrote the book, "Bird," about her epic exploits. She is now based in Ojai. We talked about the Golden Age of Aviation, when the best engineers and pilots moved from the Wright Brothers' short hops to the first jet engines and breaking the sound barrier in 1947, an incredible period of progress and energy. She also talked about navigating the boys club of pilots, her crash landing, her upbringing between England and Canada, and much more. We did not talk about Keep Sespe Wild, Jeremy Saulnier films, or the "Magic Art of Tidying." You can learn more about Tracey from her website, BirdinaBiPlane.com

In this episode, I explore the profound impact of completion on personal growth and success. I share my journey in recognizing the importance of signing off on both tangible projects and intangible parts of myself, including past versions of who I've been. By acknowledging what's complete, I've found that it reduces overwhelm and frees up energy for new creations.Using the metaphor of water flowing from a mountain to the ocean, I illustrate the process of creation and the obstacles that can block our progress. I discuss "problem oscillation"—the way our unconscious mind resists change—and invite you to reflect on the “paintings” in your life. Whether they're completed projects, former selves, or unfinished endeavors, practicing acknowledgment and closure can unlock your creative potential and bring greater fulfillment.Join my Free 7 Day Course "How to Identify and Heal Unconscious Wounds" HERE!

It continues with a conversation about software design, and the impact of tidyings.

Kapil Thangavelu, CTO and co-founder of Stacklet.io and the leading force behind an open source project called Cloud Custodian, talks about his journey in open source, beginning with his transition from Windows to dabbling in Linux, marking his shift toward open source development. He talks about the creation and development of Cloud Custodian while at Capital One, highlighting how the cloud management tool has grown to adopt multiple cloud providers like Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud Platform (GCP), Oracle, and Tencent Cloud.

For more, head over to: www.franexcell.com/ What To Do When You Don't Know What To Say   What do you do when you just don't know what to say?   Let's be honest, there's a huge amount going on in the world that is beyond hideous and a lot of people have no idea what to say.    The fear around getting it wrong and upsetting someone, or being called out, can be incredibly strong and uncomfortable.   This can happen in all areas of life, when something big happens, when someone gives you bad news, when someone tells you about a big health issue, a breakup, when someone is navigating any kind of loss, so many situations that can leave you speechless or on wobbly footing in terms of how to handle it or what to say.    So I thought it would be helpful to do a little dive into how to handle it.    First things first, and something that should be obvious but often isn't.    It's totally ok for you to literally say ‘I don't know what to say, I'm lost for words.'   You don't have to, and aren't supposed to have the answers all the time.    You're allowed to not!   So give yourself a break and allow yourself a little space to be vulnerable and honest. Most people appreciate and respect that.   Pay attention to what's going on in your body.    It's really common for people to feel anxiety in moments where they don't know what to say.    If you notice that coming up for you this is a great moment for you to do a quick breathing exercise before you choose to respond if you have the option to do so, so if you're replying over text for example.    You can use the 4-7-8-3 technique, in through the nose for 4, hold for 7, out through the mouth for 8 and repeat 3 times.    You can use heart math, around 5 seconds in, 5 seconds out, slower and deeper than you normally would.    If you don't have a minute or two to do this there are plenty of techniques you can use in the moment. Simply take a deep breath and exhale slowly.    Then respond.    Deep belly breaths through your conversation will also be incredibly helpful.    This will help you be in the right part of your brain to be able to provide the best response.    The stress response will put you into a state of fight or flight and take away your rational thinking processes, which is not what you need.    Using your breath to get you back into a parasympathetic state will allow you to access your prefrontal cortex, which you need for rational, conscious thinking. It will also allow you to be more present.   It's important to remember, sometimes no words are actually needed. You can simply give someone a hug!   You can even ask someone what they need or how they would like to be supported.    Sometimes people aren't looking for words of advice or anything to make them feel better, sometimes that's just not possible and we must recognise a need to jump into ‘fix it' mode when sometimes there are impossible situations where nothing can be said in the moment to ease the pain or tension.    So simply saying something like, ‘I'm here for you, whatever you need' or ‘What do you need right now?'    Even just doing things for someone who is struggling to ease the mental load. It can be tricky, or not appropriate, sometimes to ask someone what they need, sometimes they're totally overwhelmed and they don't have the words to say how you can help. Only you can judge the situation.    Sometimes jumping into action without words is what's needed.    Making someone some meals so they don't have to think about it. Tidying or cleaning the house for them. Running errands or picking up the kids.    Rallying round someone with no words is often incredibly powerful and can mean the world to someone in a crisis.    Ask yourself what YOU might want or need in a similar situation. What would you want to hear?   In terms of things that are going on in the world, if you're running a business or have a presence online, please remember that you don't have a responsibility to find words.    You're probably not a political correspondent or sociologist or someone with full understanding of a situation.    It's ok to say that. It's ok to say you don't understand the whole situation and you're educating yourself and sharing a reliable resource if you want to. It's ok to communicate how you feel or literally just say you don't have the words.    You can simply validate someone's feelings. You can say something along the lines of, ‘That must be so hard, I'm so sorry'. ‘I'm so sorry you're having to go through this'. ‘I can't even imagine what this must be like for you. I'm here for anything you need.'   The crux of it is to listen more than you speak. Ask questions and really hear the answer. Empathise and validate and be honest with your own thoughts and feelings.    Even though I literally have a degree in communication I've learned SO much about it in the last 12 months or so and it's life changing.   Not everyone is going to be able to meet you where you're at but if you can live with honesty and integrity and open communication you genuinely will change your life and avoid so many uncomfortable situations.    Focus on connection, try to stay out of your head and drop into your body and really just be there with someone or be there with your own thoughts and feelings and pay attention to what you notice.    There are so many situations where ‘I don't know what to say' is perfectly ok. It's honest.   Let go of creating an ‘outcome' for someone. You don't need to. It's such a natural thing for someone to want to change something for someone. It's worth asking yourself, ‘Am I looking for this outcome for them, or for me?' It can be confronting for sure but the answer often helps shift our approach in the moment.    If it's appropriate you can signpost some resources for them. If you don't feel equipped to talk about something or handle a situation or you feel out of your depth, do some research and find some relevant resources and send it across and say ‘I saw this and thought it might be helpful'. Or if it's something that helped you or someone you love, ‘I wanted to send this in case it was helpful, it really helped me.'   So many people just want to feel seen and heard.    Remember, no one has all the answers. You don't have to either.     Fx
