508: The Great Product Purge

Kathi Lipp and Clutter Free OG Tonya Kubo have a challenge for you this month. Do you have a makeup and skin care graveyard in your bathroom? You know the one; the drawer full of old eye makeup you haven’t used in 3 years, and – let’s be honest – looks good on no one? On April 20th, you are invited to join the Great Product Purge. The mission: to purge 50 beauty products of any kind – makeup, cleansers, lotions, shampoos, masks, and all those little hotel bathroom bottles from that pre-pandemic vacation.

Listen in as Kathi and Tonya break down the plan:

• Dump it all out – the whole drawer
• Group similar products
• Look at the expiration dates – if there’s not one, and you can’t remember when you bought it, TOSS IT

Join us on April 20th at 11:00AM PST (2:00PM eastern) in the Clutter Free Academy Facebook Group for a special Declutter with Kathi with special guest Dorothy Strouhal, makeup artist to the stars! If you can't be there for the live, the replay will be available. So, show up! Kathi doesn't want you to lose an eye.

506: My #1 Trick to Staying on Track

Kathi Lipp is flying solo today and is bringing you her very own #1 trick for staying on task. Do you have unfinished tasks during the day? Kathi wants to help you solve that problem with "The List."

To make your own list, find a notebook that makes you happy and write down the things you need to do - ALL the things you need to do - even if that includes taking a shower. It's that easy! Keeping a list will:

• Help you get stuff done - You have a visual representation of your work
• Prioritize - Not all tasks are of equal importance or time sensitive
• Keep your mind clear - Writing it down means you don't have to keep thinking about it and can focus on the task at hand

Things on your list should take you 5 minutes, so you can keep crossing things off all day long. Once you accomplish a task, you can cross it off the list. And doesn't crossing things off just feel great?
