Are you using a lot of mental space to remember all the things? Sometimes even the things we easily remember most of the time can slip our present memory. Life is full of things to remember and routines and timers help us to manage them well. Kathi, and her decluttering and organizing partner Roger, have worked on building routines that work all throughout their clutter-free journey. Routines can be challenging because they don’t always come naturally, and life sometimes breaks them. This is why breaking down projects into smaller, doable sessions and using a timer is so effective. Listen in to learn how:

• Timers can be used in many different ways
• Valuable the 15-minute sprint can be
• To really do the things you love

Do you struggle with staying focused long enough to declutter? Is a lot of your clutter the result of struggling to stay focused on one thing at a time? You are definitely not alone.  Join Kathi and special guest Suzanne Woods Fisher as they talk about an Amish girl with ADHD who is Anything But Plain and offers hope to all of us. Her story helps us to see a different way of thinking is actually a gift and something to celebrate. Listen in to learn how you:

• Learn to reframe
• Recognize the gift of thinking differently
• Celebrate your gifts

Do you struggle with the idea of throwing things away? You’re not alone. In this episode, Kathi is joined by Tonya Kubo to unpack the complexities of this topic. Throwing things away is difficult for a number of reasons, but especially because it triggers a sense of wastefulness. In addition to explaining when it’s time to throw something away, Kathi shares with us four tips for how to get comfortable with getting stuff out of our houses, such as:

• Stop feeling guilty about throwing things away.
• Put it on your calendar to go to the dump.
• Give everything away that you can, but you don’t get to give away junk.
• Know how to dispose of things.

Do you struggle to make small daily decisions and it leaves you feeling stuck? You know the ones. The decisions that feel like they shouldn’t be this hard to make and they seem to come easy or naturally to “everyone else.” Join Kathi and guest Michael Gembola for this hopeful and healing conversation that cuts right to the heart of the why behind the "what" of our clutter. Small decisions don’t always seem small to the person making them. If we want to grow in our clutter free journey, learning to make these decisions is essential. Listen in to discover how to make decisions about getting rid of things including: 

• Learning to risk regret
• Why we need “the accelerator and the brakes to drive safely” - Michael Gembola
• Knowing “even if this is the wrong decision, most things are recoverable” - Kathi Lipp

Do you ever look around your home wondering why it feels more cluttered, despite your decluttering efforts? Kathi, and her decluttering partner Roger, are uncovering this mystery by cluing us into five reasons our homes may be more cluttered. Clutter is a battle that has to be fought on every side. Together let’s learn how to break these habits that leave us with more clutter and less peace. Sometimes we just need the next right step in front of us. Is your home more cluttered because: 

• You don’t know what you have? 
• You have Back-ups of Back-ups? 
• You are holding onto things for someday?

Do you dread having hard conversations? Or try to avoid them altogether? Hard conversations are a part of every relationship if we are in it for the long haul. It’s easy to fill in the gaps with our assumptions. What if we learned how to navigate these conversations in a way that makes every relationship stronger and better? Come and sit with Kathi and Becky Keife to learn how to have hard, but healthy conversations, and how to prepare your heart and mind for them by:

• Coming to the table with curiosity 
• Asking for a heart of tenderness 
• Coming to an understanding
