March 28, 2024 57 | Always Feeling Tired or Overwhelmed? Make This ONE CHANGE and See What Happens
This episode has been a long time coming and I really want to tackle it today because I think it can be incredibly helpful to you if you are feeling tired and overwhelmed and aren’t sure where to start.

You might not even realize how much of your time and energy is being sucked away because of ONE stinkin’ thing, but once we are aware of it - THAT is when we can begin to make changes for the better.

So let’s talk about it and find out if this is something YOU want to change, too.

March 25, 2024 56 | Creating a Morning Routine that is Flexible in Different Seasons of Life
One of my most treasured routines is my morning routine. For me, I love the quiet early mornings to focus on the things I have chosen to start my day. And if I skip it, I feel it! But that doesn’t mean every morning is exactly alike either.

I’ve been having conversations recently with other women about their morning routines, and one of the common things I’ve heard is that they feel like they aren’t keeping up with this routine because life gets too busy, but they still have a strong desire to have a morning routine.

I don’t think it has to be all or nothing. And the great thing about a morning routine is that you don’t just have to follow one routine - your morning routine should be crafted just for you!

So let’s talk about creating a morning routine that is flexible in different seasons of life and how to know what YOUR personal morning routine should consist of!

Let's get to it!

March 18, 2024 54 | Five Time Management Tips When You Are Always Running Late or Feeling Scattered
Do you want to stop feeling like you are just trying to keep up with life? If you always feel a little (or a lot) scattered and can’t seem to be on time for anything, then this episode was made for you!

I will be the first one to tell you that I am not naturally gifted with time management skills. I love task management and I feel like that comes very naturally, but TIME is a whole nother ball game. Haha! However…over the years, I have had to hone these skills and have tested a LOT of different ways to help my brain get better with time management for both work and personal life. I feel like I have finally learned what works best for me!

If you struggle with time management like I did (and still do sometimes), I have five time management tips for you to try! There is hope and we CAN improve these skills, I promise. ;)

Let’s go!

February 26, 2024 48 | How to Create an Annual Task List to Get Stuff Done Without Feeling Overwhelmed
If you are juggling work, home, laundry, cleaning, yard work, and more…it’s time to pause. There is a LOT on your plate and when we don’t have a clear plan on when to tackle certain things, we constantly have it in the back of our mind, feeling like we are falling behind and that in itself is exhausting! Not to mention the additional energy we will need to actually accomplish the task.

Today we are talking about how to create an annual task list. This is a simple list that may seem unnecessary, but it can be a game changer for you. When you get a plan onto paper, your mind can rest better because it’s all taken care of, you don’t have to expend energy just trying to remember what needs to be done, and you have a PLAN.

Grab a paper and pen, and probably a few of your favorite highlighters, because today we are talking about how to create your annual task list!

Let's go!

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
