How GK Conquered Her Cluttered Garage and Built a Framework for Crossing Other Big Tasks Off Her To-Do List

We finish what we start. —Jenny GK

Jenny GK tackles the daunting task of cleaning out her cluttered garage by implementing ruthless guidelines, accountability, and a deadline, and in doing so, created a framework for getting all of those other big items from “to-do” to “all done.”

Key Takeaways: From this episode, you will be able to

  • Master the art of managing overwhelming household projects with actionable tips.
  • Balance emotional attachment with practical decluttering when handling sentimental items.
  • Understand the emotional investment in large-scale tasks and celebrate every milestone achieved.


3 Tips We HAVE to Share:

  1. Activate deadline mode by setting a specific date to complete the project. 
  2. Employ body doubling by bringing someone along on a task that you don't want to do.
  3. Separate cleaning, tidying, and organizing as separate small projects to avoid feeling overwhelmed.
