April 14, 2025 165 | Redefine Fitness and Create Small Habits for Success
When we are struggling with our fitness routine and can never seem to reach our goals, we often think that we are doing something wrong. Maybe we are. Maybe it IS our fault. But there is also a way that we can redefine our perception of what fitness actually is. When we can take a harder look at why we are “failing”, we can begin to see what is missing. Then, we can begin to build a routine that helps support our goals so we can finally start seeing results.

Let's get to it!

April 07, 2025 163 | Make Cleaning Easier! What You Need and Where to Keep It All
Do you ever wonder where half of the stuff in your cleaning closet came from? Maybe you open the cupboard under your kitchen sink and need to quickly shut it again so everything doesn’t come tumbling out.

We DO need cleaning supplies to take care of our homes, but so many of us are keeping WAY more than we actually need. Part of decluttering also applies to cleaning supplies, so it’s a good time to take a look at what we have, what we need, and even a few ways we can make it convenient and easy for us to clean when it’s that time.

Let’s get to it!

March 31, 2025 161 | Don’t Put it Down, Put it Away! | 4 Habits for Tidy Living
Are you ready to keep a tidy home? A lot of people are terrified that someone may “pop by” without warning like the good ol’ days because their house looks like a tornado came through it and they are embarrassed. We used to be this way! Our house would fall apart during the week and then we would spend half our weekend trying to put it back together by cleaning and catching up on laundry. We hadn’t created the habits we needed to maintain a tidy home throughout the week. Over the last several years, we have been creating the habits and routines we needed to maintain a tidy home without too much effort. Not only does the house stay “company ready” (or at least very close to it), but it also makes cleaning easier and it’s given us back our weekends!

So I hope you are ready because today I am sharing four habits for tidier living!

Let's get to it!

March 20, 2025158 | Build a Mix & Match Wardrobe that Saves Time and Money | GUEST Shari Braendel w/ Style by Color
Today we are talking about simplifying a task we all do every day - getting dressed! If we get frustrated right away in the morning by just picking out an outfit, it can set our whole day off on the wrong foot. So let's make this routine easier!
Shari Braendel is joining me as a guest today. Shari is the founder of Style by Color, inspiring women to new levels of confidence. She has certified hundreds of women through the Style by Color Academy where she provides training for women wanting to become color analysis specialists and Christian image consultants.
During our conversation, Shari walked me through tips on figuring out which colors are best based on our personal features and we also discuss her online course program, the 27 Hangers Closet System. I had a chance to dive in and pick her brain with questions about how we can take a closet that feels overwhelming and make changes to simplify our selection while also creating a mix & match wardrobe that will save time each morning! Her strategy of shifting from impulse buying to building a purposeful wardrobe will help save money, too!
I’m excited to share this one and I hope you enjoy our conversation as much as I did!
Let's get to it!

About The Routine Advantage | Simple Habits, Routines and Systems to Get Your Life Organized, Build Consistency and Reduce Overwhelm

From the publisher's feed

- RANKED A TOP 2.5% PODCAST GLOBALLY-

Are you going to bed at night thinking about your never-ending to-do list and already stressing about tomorrow?

Waking up exhausted and…

relying on coffee to get through your day?

Are you making multiple trips to the store each week, stressing about what to make for dinner each night, spending too much money on groceries and take out, and feeling frazzled about paying bills on time?

I'm Renae Matt and I've been where you are! I work full-time, I'm growing my own business, and I still want to spend quality date nights with my husband. Over the years I got so tired of the housework, the bills, and the never-ending list of things to do. I was trying to keep track of it all. It was overwhelming and I felt like I had no time left to ENJOY life.

Over time, I began to build simple routines to get organized. I set up the framework to have a foundation of routines that I can fall back on even when everything else feels like it's falling apart.

On this podcast, I share what I have learned so YOU can also build these five foundational routines that can transform your life, too!

• A MORNING ROUTINE to take care of YOU first so you can begin each day feeling fulfilled and show up better for those around you.

• A MEAL PLANNING ROUTINE to reduce the frustration and simplify dinner time.

• A "DAILY 7" HOME ROUTINE to keep a tidy home without wasting weekends cleaning and catching up on laundry.

• A MOVEMENT ROUTINE so you can feel rejuvenated and get your energy back!

• AN EASY BUDGET ROUTINE to create a plan for your money and help you get out of debt, get rid of money stress, and save for your dreams.

Our lives are busy, but they don't have to be overwhelming. When we can get these five foundational routines in place, you will have a system set up to help reduce the stress and give you your time back! I'm here to help you build these simple routines so that they can change your life, too.

You might think this isn't the right time because you are too busy to change something, but friend… when you feel TOO BUSY to prioritize your LIFE...that is when you know something NEEDS to change.

We can't get lost time back and God didn't create us to live our lives checking off boxes and drowning in errands.

So let's TAKE BACK YOUR TIME.

Instead of spending your evenings stressed about all the tasks you didn't get to, you will be able to spend those nights having fun with your family. Go for an evening walk, do a game night, find a hobby, or have a date night with your hubby.

When you get your life organized, you get your life back. THAT is the Routine Advantage.

xo,
Renae
