Ep. 87 – 3 Summer Organizing Tips
Doesn’t it feel like we just put away the Christmas tree?! But here we are, with summer knocking at our door.
A different season calls for different organizational strategies, and today I’ll give you three tips to help you with tangible clutter, summer routines, and a mindset to keep it all in perspective.
Ep. 86 – Procrastination and ADHD: Interview with Risa Williams
Tell me if you can relate to this: You genuinely want to get things done. You promise yourself you’re going to do them. But – somehow – time gets away from you, and you haven’t ever actually done the things.
We’re talking about procrastination, and it happens to all of us. But today on the podcast we will learn from therapist Risa Williams about what is really happening when we procrastinate. And while procrastination affects everyone at times, we will talk specifically about how it can be especially challenging for those with ADHD.
There is something for everyone in this episode, so settle in for some actionable and practical tips that can genuinely change the way you manage your day-to-day tasks.
Ep. 85 – Are You Over-Organizing?
Have you ever spent so much time organizing something until it’s just right—and then realize you’re not actually using it? Or it’s not really helping you?
Want to know why this happens?
Because we all have a picture in our head of what being organized should look like, and we run after it before thinking it through.
This is called over-organizing, and our time is too precious for it.
This episode is all about recognizing what over organizing looks like and learning how to keep it from sneaking up on us so we stop wasting time, money, and energy on things that don’t end up being worth it.
Ep. 84 – When You Want to Declutter
Ever look around your home and think, Where did all this stuff come from? Or maybe you’ve tried to declutter before, but it just feels so overwhelming that you don’t even know where to start. If that sounds familiar, you are not alone—and today’s episode is exactly what you need.
Learn about the FREE Clutter Busters program…what it is, what it isn’t, and 5 tips to help you be successful.

Do you want to make more of your mornings but just can’t stop hitting the snooze button?

I recently rediscovered early mornings after being given one simple suggestion, and I’m so on fire with how great it feels to be getting up early again that I had to share it with you.
So today you’re getting this magic tip that worked for me, plus some of my long standing tricks that had me getting up early most of my life.
Waking up even a few minutes earlier can give you a great jumpstart to an organized day – and be a magic bullet for an organized life. So even if you’ve never been an early riser, something you hear today might finally be the tipping point that changes all of that.
