I am very excited to talk with Blaine Oelkers, America's only Chief Results Officer, TEDx Speaker and leading authority in personal implementation and consistency. 

Blaine is a lot of fun to talk to and he shares with us several ways on how we can take control of our life by taking control of ourselves. 

We talk about

• why living a day ahead is so beneficial, and how we can do that
• the most powerful word for any productive and successful entrepreneur
• how he practices proactive procrastination and why that's a good thing
• the 80/20 rule and the vital few and the trivial many
• the most productive day is and how we all had some of those
• the concept of the 30 minute hour and how to do that with PDF
• single tasking, multi tasking and batch tasking

and so much more. At the very end Blaine shares a brain hack with us on how we can create a new habit in just 21 seconds so make sure you listen all the way to the end.

This is a rewind (or replay) of episode 4 because Principles Not Rules is another one of my core messages (besides Clearing Clutter is Self-Love) and very important concept of how I help my clients with clutter and therefore deserves a rewind.

I am a bit of a rebel and don't like more rules than necessary, that's why I came up with principles and I reduced it to the 3 core or key principles which actually makes your decluttering journey easier if you follow them.

Today I talk about a special kind of clutter:  things you own, that you bought, that you really love, but that you don't use. 

This is actually more common than you think, yes it has happeend to me too.  Prof. Jonah Berger and Jacqueline Rifkin, did a study on this phenomenon called: How Nonconsumption Can Turn Ordinary Items into Perceived Treasures.

Prof. Berger himself gives an example with shoes he owned, and here in the podcast I give you an example that happened with me just recently.

What is interesting is, that this is not only relevant when we talk about clutter, but this is consumer behaviour that is also very relevant for business owners and marketers.

My guest Steven Rudolph has been on a 21-year quest to India, where he uncovered 5,000-year-old secrets to self-understanding and achieving one's potential. He then took those principles and crafted them into an easy-to-use, enjoyable program called Feed Your Tigers.

He says: When you don't feed your tigers, they'll eat you.

In this conversation we talk about

• how Steve figured out that he was not a rockstar but a teacher
• what tigers we need to feed and why they eat us if we don't
• why it is selfish to ignore our tigers or actively fight them
• what happens if you take good care of your tigers

Today I talk about whether or not a junk drawer is a good thing in your home and office or a bad thing because I recently came across an article about organizing our junk drawers. 

So can you have a junk drawer and does it have to be organized?

Clutter has so many negative effects on us, especially our health and in particular our stress levels. This is backed by science and several studies as you will hear in this episode.

Clearing the clutter is therefore really an act of self-care and self-love, and it is also a thoughtful and powerful approach of self-discovery and self-development.

This is actually a rewind (or replay or how ever you want to call it) of Episode 3. I had quite an increase in downloads of newer episodes over the past few weeks. Of course most people don't scroll all the way down and start at episode 1, but this is one of my most important messages and an important concept of my work and how I help my clients with clutter. That's why I felt the need to re-publish this episode.

We are talking about how we can access and clear emotional clutter with a technique called Tapping or EFT, Emotional Freedom Technique. 

My guest is Lauren Fonvielle,  she is an energy healer, certified EFT & Reiki Practitioner as well as a yoga and meditation teacher.  Lauren says: "Our underlying beliefs and emotions—whether or not we're aware of them—can affect our happiness in life. Learning how to better manage our emotions, and release any associated stress can be a complete game changer!"

We talk about:

• whether or not there is science behind tapping
• what happens when we suppress our emotions
• how tapping meets you where you are and how you can use it pro-active and reactive
• how to get started, can you do it on your own or do you need an EFT practitioner to do it with

Today I want to talk about unfinished business, a category of clutter that most people don't  even recognize as clutter.  Unfinished business holds us back, it's hard to move forward with clarity and inspiration when you have loose ends. Taking care of unfinished business sets the stage for success and here is how you can do it in a few minutes a day.

Who do you tell yourself you are?
 
It’s one thing to say "I want to achieve the goal of being organized and intentional and in charge of my finances" but it’s something very different to say

"I’m the type of person who IS organized and IS in charge of my finances."

Staying in an identity conflict will keep you stuck or get you to take one step forward and then two steps back.
