#32 How simple systems create balance & stop the daily chaos with Louise | Simply Sortin'


Listen Later

If you’re fed up with mornings that feel like a full-body workout before 9am, piles of clutter that seem to regenerate overnight, and a never-ending to-do list that never actually gets done, this one’s for you.

I sat down with Louise Ufer-Nolte, Professional Organiser and founder of Simply Sortin’, to talk about how busy parents and professionals can stop firefighting and actually build a home that works for them, not against them. Louise works 1:1 with clients across Edinburgh & the Lothians, and she knows that finding balance isn’t about colour-coded calendars or unrealistic routines. It’s about systems that stick.

Inside this episode:

  • Why clutter makes you tired and how to stop the brain fog by getting your physical space in check
  • The power of “wait time” and how to turn 30 seconds into progress (not just more scrolling)
  • The daily reset habits that stop stuff piling up again, and actually last longer than a week
  • The problem with perfectionist routines, and how to create simple systems that flex with your day
  • Why protecting your rest time isn’t a luxury, it’s a strategy
  • How to make tidy-up time a normal part of family life (and not just something you do when someone’s coming over)
  • The small mindset shift that helps you take action even when your energy’s on the floor
  • The “never leave a room empty-handed” rule, and how it saves you hours every week

  • This episode is for women who are sick of being the default for everything. It’s a practical, honest conversation about how to create balance, and build routines that actually work in real life, not just on paper.
