When we feel overwhelmed by the state of our homes, it’s tempting to want to fix everything all at once. But trying to declutter, clean, and organize an entire space in one go can lead to burnout or make things even worse. Taylor Flanery encourages us to avoid “choking on our homes” by taking small, manageable bites—15 minutes at a time—rather than trying to overhaul everything in a weekend.

Episode Synopsis

Jacqueline’s decluttering journey took a bold turn when she and her husband chose to downsize significantly. They got rid of nearly all their furniture and most of their belongings, keeping only what they truly used or loved. This decision was rooted in their desire for more experiences and less time managing stuff.

Despite the challenges of letting go, Jacqueline emphasized that she doesn’t miss the things they let go of—even large furniture items—and instead appreciates the space and freedom it gave them.

Episode Synopsis

This is the last episode of our Get Organized Once and For All series where we’ve talked about strategies and tools you can use to maintain your organized spaces and systems as well as getting them set up in the first place. 

Today we are talking about accountability and motivation. You may have tried and found it to not be as easy as it sounds. Finding support groups, motivation, and encouragement can be a game changer. Not only do we need them when we’re feeling down, but we also need them on those days when we’re on cloud nine.

A big thing that can get in the way of us reaching our goals is running out of time. There are days when we don’t have a minute to spare, but there are also days when we run out of time because a lot of our day was spent doing things we don’t actually care much about. Those are what would be considered time wasters.

Mark Twain has been attributed as saying if you eat a live frog first thing in the morning, you won’t do anything else more unpleasant the whole day. What that means is do the most daunting task first. Sometimes it’s the hardest, sometimes it’s just the most unpleasant. 

Almost always these are relatively quick tasks and the anticipation is worse than the reality. But, sometimes it’s not a quick task and it really is as bad as you think it’s going to be. Either way going ahead and getting that thing done first thing in the morning is going to set you up for success for the rest of your day.

Habits are those things that you train yourself to do almost on autopilot. Habits can help reduce the mental load we have when we spend time debating with ourselves about doing a task or when we’ve had a long day and now we’re having to make all new decisions about what we need to do. Essentially, establishing habits is a great way to get more energy back into your day.

What do you envision when someone says, “Do you want to get organized?”or, “I’m going to help you get organized?”

Some things you might picture are a pantry with decanted food in clear acrylic containers with labels, clear countertops with no piles of paper, or knowing exactly where your keys and purse are when it’s time to go to work.
