You’ve done an awesome first pass on the stuff. In fact, you’re pretty pleased with what you got done (all by yourself, to boot!).

But there’s that nagging feeling that you have more to declutter….

You squash it down and get back to work. After all, you just decluttered! You couldn’t possibly have anything else to get rid of – could you?

Today’s episode is all about why and how to revisit your own stuff level – aka, re-decluttering.

What you’ll learn:

·        The first clue that it’s time to declutter again

·        The point of having empty space in your hall closet (and what happens when you don’t)

·        Why organization won’t help past a certain point (plus what to do next)

You don’t have time for meticulously organized rows of spices you never use, color coded books you don’t read, or spare closets full of beautifully labeled boxes you never open. Nuh-uh.

It’s time to ditch all that stuff. To declutter again. To get yourself back to that minimalism you were enjoying (before the clutter built up).

Get real, get ruthless, and get out there – the clutter is waiting for you.

And you’re the only one who can banish it from the house.

You’ve got this!

Q: Want to know the fastest way to reduce your tidy-up responsibilities?

A: Stop picking up everyone else’s stuff!

No, I’m serious. If you view a picked-up house as your responsibility, down to the last drawer in the kids’ bathroom, then your tidy-up duties are never going to end.

Now, on the other hand, if you train your school-age-and-up kids to put away their OWN things, then next time someone complains about the bathroom mess, you get to tell them, “Whose fault is it? Put away your share, and call your next sibling to do theirs!”

Because it’s not your fault. Or your problem.

(Unless you skip reminding them to do their own picking up, of course.)

So how can you retrain your brain to NOT straighten every last cushion and put away every single misplaced sock?

What you’ll learn:

·        Why you can’t be the “stuff rescuer” for your kids

·        How you’re letting your family drown out your simplified spaces (and what to do instead)

·        How to quit the “family stuff manager” role

It’s time to make a sea change in your family’s (lack of) pickup duties.

To nudge them into good tidy-up habits by the simple expedient of refusing to do it for them any longer.

It’s time to start reminding, not tidying.

Watch what happens to your mental load as you release the pressure of being the sole person who picks up around the house.

You’ve got this!

Do you know how to inspect your kids’ chores nicely? You know, in a compassionate, non-scolding manner that still holds them accountable for dirt and mud?

This is kind of a challenging area, so that’s why today’s episode is focused on chore management. Specifically, on how to follow up till it’s done while supporting your kids through the process.

Find out my chore evaluation hacks!

What you’ll learn:

·        A training rubric to use on all your kids’ chores

·        How to treat inspecting the bathroom like grading math homework

·        Why you need to follow up with that second (or third) bathroom inspection

It’s totally normal to have to ask your kids to redo cleaning jobs when they’re still in the learning process (or just have a problem with getting all the corners).

But what you SHOULDN’T be doing is acting like it’s a big deal that you’re asking them to do it over.

Where do you need to uplevel your chore inspecting today?

Let’s get this (clean house) show on the road.

You’ve got this!

Agree or disagree: The hardest part of a mom’s day isn’t so much the chores and constant interruptions, as it is figuring out how to fit everything in.

How we plan our days is how we live our lives, after all – so it makes sense that if the planning goes wrong, our day is probably headed down the tubes.

If you’re in need of a troubleshooting guide for how to plan out your day, keep listening – that’s exactly what we’re chatting about in this episode!

What you’ll learn:

·        How to not overstuff your day

·        Why you need to pay attention to your unique energy cycles

·        The little-known key to planning for down time

Let’s plan your daily schedule so that it supports you, instead of forcing YOU to fit the calendar’s mold.

(That’s backwards, by the way. Where did we ever get the idea that our to-do lists are meant to be our higher selves?)

Because you deserve a customized daily to-do list – not a generic task master. What’s changing when you take back ownership today?

You’ve got this!
