I LOVE this email from one of you. Such a great way to apply the Container Concept to different situations! I NEVER write emails to authors or bloggers, but I had to write to you, and thank you. I am a teacher-turned-homeschooler. I always thought when I stopped working full time and stayed home with my two kids that my house would be tidy and … [Read more...]
260: Rethinking Organizing Podcast
One of my biggest strategies is to let yourself "just declutter" in order to get started and make progress in your home immediately. And decluttering achieves the purpose I was looking for when I thought I needed to "get organized." But there is value in organizing.

I'm talking about the mental and strategical shifts that help me make real progress in my home even without the motivation of a doorbell. My books Patreon … [Read more...]
How to Keep Up With Your Mask
This post has affiliate links. It's July of 2020 as I write this. I don't think I've written a post in July in 8 or 9 years since I generally take summers off from writing. But July of 2020 is no ordinary July. And I'm sharing a tip that's hopefully time-sensitive. (Please, God, let this be irrelevant at some point in the near future . . … [Read more...]
Recommended Podcast Episodes about Cleaning and Decluttering
I was recently privy to a conversation between my podcast listeners as they listed off their favorite episodes that they listen to again and again. I find it fascinating to hear which podcasts resonate with listeners.
