You know how you go to the salon and ask for a specific type of look, and no one tells you just how much maintenance that look will take, let alone how much it will cost? The same can happen with organizing, if you end up going with a professional who tends to offer "one and done" projects. Let's talk about the difference between getting what you ACTUALLY want and ending up with a project that does nothing to make your life easier.

I get sick to my stomach when I hear people say that they got fed up with their job, and quit, only to leave WEEKS of vacation time on the table. Those "free" days could have been spent organizing your space - or even laying the groundwork for the new life you've had in your head for months now. Check out this episode to help find balance between being loyal to your company (who has actually given you the GIFT of time) and being loyal to the future you.

There are times when someone's space is messy, because there is a GOAL attached to it. Join me in this bonus episode today to hear my story of this current trip back home, and why what I saw at my mom's house could make a difference for ALL hoarders.

Who here has a case of the Mondays? Well, it's not just a Monday problem, and most of you know that by now. For those who sit around on Sunday, dreading Monday, or those driving into work right now, trying to decide how many days you can call in sick before you get fired - this episode is for you. Let's take some "work notes," and get to the root of the problem, so you can finally clear some mental space to tackle your home space.

The Target dollar section is raising their game, people! I was there earlier and knew I wanted to share some thoughts with you. And not just the products... but overall, how the whole thing ties into the last episode I did about the future of organizing.

After a heavy series, discussing hoarding, I thought it would be a nice change to just talk lightly about where I believe organizing is going. What the "trends" are right now and just share what's on my mind.

As we wrap up our Hoarding series, we come to probably the most important episode to date. We've discussed being around hoarders, how to communicate with hoarders... I think what many people are here for is THIS episode: How to Live with a Hoarder. It is not an easy task. In this episode, we'll look at a few different options and weigh the good and bad. And what I recommend may not be what you would ever expect... but it may be what you need to hear.

In part 1 of 2 bonus episodes, I talk about the REAL move I just went through - what went great; what didn't go as planned. Even though I do this for a living, I STILL couldn't predict everything that happened, but it still went smoothly. Make sure to sign up for bonus content NOW, because coming up in May, I'm going to do a "moving series," and most of it will NOT be on the main pod. Get excited! And let's get moving...

I've had a lot of requests lately for more 10-minute tasks, so here is one that will keep you busy for a while! The Fake Move is an exercise that will help anyone struggling to clear a space, without a huge commitment. It happens in small increments, over a longer period of time. Take a listen, get started, and let me know if this helps you!

In this episode, we're finishing Episode 4 of the Hoarding Series, "How to Talk to a Hoarder." Part 2 focuses a little more on talking with a co-worker, who is a hoarder. We also touch on the dynamic of adult siblings and a hoarder. If you are the adult child of a hoarder, Part 1 will most likely address your questions directly. However, BOTH episodes will help anyone who questions their communication style with a hoarder.
