The 5 Step Trick That Makes Procrastination Impossible | Clutterbug Episode #345

Monday, September 28, 2026 • Duration 01:03:56

Hey Clutterbugs! Want to know how to stop procrastinating and finally start the things you keep putting off, from decluttering your house to chasing a big dream? In this episode, I sit down with Dana K. White, author of Procrastinators Get Stuff Done and creator of the No Mess Method, to break down her simple five-step anti-procrastination process for overcoming overwhelm, one tiny step at a time. Dana taught hundreds of thousands of people to declutter without making a bigger mess, and now she's turned the same approach on procrastination. We talk about why we really put things off, why "make a plan" is step four and not step one, and why so many of us spiral into research mode instead of taking action. I also get real about the book edits I've been avoiding, and we try the method on my own manuscript live. I'll also tell you the story of how I went from "this system will never work for me" to full-blown Dana K. White believer. Procrastinators Get Stuff Done comes out October 6th, and you can pre-order at danakwhite.com/procrastinate, where the pre-order bonuses include strategy sessions working through real projects!

Hack Your Home: Netflix Star Jess Banks on Storage Hacks & Why Your House Isn't Designed for You | Clutterbug Episode #344

Monday, September 21, 2026 • Duration 01:03:58

Looking for small space storage hacks and home organization ideas that actually make sense for how you live? In this episode, I sit down with Jess Banks — robotics engineer, furniture designer, and star of Netflix's Hack Your Home — to talk about why homes fail us, and the small, genius hacks that can fix it. Jess has an insane background — physics, robotics, running her own kinetic furniture company — and she brings all of it to how she thinks about storage and space. We get into why "messy" isn't actually a character flaw (it's just a mismatch between your brain and your space), how to design furniture and storage that flexes for visual vs. hidden organizers, and why she thinks almost every home is missing a few key pieces of smart storage. We also get into: ✨ Why homes are never really built for how any one person actually lives — and what to do about it ✨ The "touchpoint" method for deciding what deserves prime real estate vs. deep storage ✨ Jess's ADHD, her own visual-but-contained organizing style, and how she's "hacked" her own space to work with her brain instead of against it ✨ Why multi-purpose furniture (like a table that folds flat into the wall) might be the small-space answer we've all been missing ✨ Her surprisingly brilliant trick of using different scents to help her brain context-switch between creative, analytical, and admin work If you've ever felt like your clutter is somehow your fault, this conversation is a great reminder: it's not you, it's your storage. Follow Jess on Instagram @rockpaperrobot, and watch Hack Your Home on Netflix — I promise you'll be as obsessed as I am! Want to get organized?

She Came Home from the Hospital to a House of Clutter (then one question changed her life!) | Clutterbug Episode #343

Monday, September 14, 2026 • Duration 51:26

Ever wonder why you can declutter your house and it just... comes back? In this episode, I sit down with Katy Joy Wells — author, decluttering expert, and host of The Maximized Minimalist podcast — to talk about the emotional root of clutter and why most decluttering advice only scratches the surface. Katy opens up about the accident that changed everything for her — a head-on collision that left her not knowing if her husband would survive, and coming home that same day to face the clutter she'd been avoiding for years. It's an honest, emotional conversation, and it completely reframes what decluttering is actually about. We get into: ✨ Katy's "clutter onion" — the four layers of clutter (superficial, scarcity, sentimental, and identity) and why the deepest layer is almost never about the stuff ✨ Why some of us can declutter one room like a pro and freeze completely in another ✨ My own identity clutter — the home decor I couldn't let go of, and the "someday I'll be different" stuff I held onto for years ✨ How to write your own personal definition of clutter so you stop needing outside permission to let something go ✨ A 10-minute challenge you can do today to start cutting through the clutter that's actually about something deeper If you've ever felt like you're the only one who can't seem to keep it together, this conversation is a reminder that clutter isn't a character flaw — it's usually just an unanswered question. Grab Katy's new book wherever books are sold, follow her on Instagram @katiejoywells, and check out her podcast The Maximized Minimalist — you'll find me over there as a recent guest!

Why Changing Your Space Changes Who You Are (Not Just How It Looks) | Clutterbug Episode #342

Monday, September 7, 2026 • Duration 01:03:53

Hey Clutterbugs! Want to know why decluttering and organizing your home can change your entire life — not just your space? In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Angela Duckworth, bestselling author of Grit and her brand new book Situated, to talk about the science behind why changing your environment is more powerful than "just trying harder." Angela breaks down the Three Boxes model, and honestly, it explained my entire life back to me. We get into why willpower is overrated, why "just try harder" culture is kind of a trap, and why editing your space (not forcing more discipline) is the real secret to lasting change. We also get real with topics like . . . ✨ My own decluttering "rock bottom" and how changing my environment changed who I was, not just how my house looked ✨ Why I think weight loss surgery is a situational fix, not a shortcut — and why shame around GLP-1s and other "easier" paths needs to go ✨ Getting diagnosed with ADHD at 40 and how surrounding myself with the right people (situational change!) helped me finally build the life and career I wanted ✨ Why grit isn't about intensity — it's about consistency, and why my whole "do it badly on purpose" philosophy might actually be a form of grit after all If you've ever felt like you're failing no matter how hard you try, this episode might just reframe everything. Sometimes the answer isn't more effort — it's a better situation. To purchase Angela's new book, please visit https://www.angeladuckworth.com/situated Want to get organized?

How to Make Your Home Feel Like YOU (Without Spending Money) | Clutterbug Episode #341

Monday, August 31, 2026 • Duration 01:04:05

Want interior design tips that actually reflect your personal style — not just another Pinterest trend? In this episode, I talk home decor, storytelling through design, and chasing big dreams with Olivia Westbrooks, interior designer and star of Hallmark's Home Is Where the Heart Is. Olivia has been designing for over 22 years, and after her show gave her a taste of what's possible, she got real with me about what came next . . . and why she finally pulled her podcast equipment out of the box after three years of letting it collect dust (be honest, is yours still in the box too?). We get into: ✨ Why the best-designed homes tell a story instead of following a trend ✨ How to figure out your personal style when you don't even know where to start ✨ Why doing something badly on purpose might be the fastest way through perfectionism ✨ Small, low-cost ways to make your space feel more like you today — no renovation required ✨ The moment Olivia posted her most "imperfect" video ever... and it became her best-performing post If you've ever shoved a dream to the bottom of your list because life got busy, or you're stuck buying stuff that never quite feels you, this conversation is your permission slip to take one small, brave step today.

The Secret Minimalists Won't Tell You (because it's not minimalism!) | Clutterbug Episode #340

Monday, August 24, 2026 • Duration 01:01:59

Struggling to declutter your home without it feeling cold, empty, or boring? In this episode, I sit down with Myquillyn Smith — author, home decor expert, and the mind behind The Nester — to talk all about house hushing, decluttering, and creating a soulful, cozy home you actually love. Myquillyn coined the term "house hushing," and in her brand new book (out August 25th!), she breaks it down into genius methods for quieting the visual noise in your home without sacrificing the beauty, coziness, and meaningful layers that make a house feel like you. We dig into backwards decluttering, quiet decorating, why every home has its own personality and soul, and how to actually stop stuff-shuffling into doom boxes forever (I'm looking at myself here). We also get into: ✨ Why "less stuff" doesn't have to mean "boring beige minimalism" ✨ How to find your home's holding zone without creating a new mess ✨ The difference between decorating and soulful styling ✨ Why a cabinet of curiosities might be the answer to displaying your sentimental stuff ✨ How your organizing style (Ladybug, Cricket, Bee, or Butterfly!) affects how you should hush your space If you've ever felt like your home needs to be either "minimalist" or "full of meaningful stuff" — but never both — this episode (and Myquillyn's book, House Hushing) is going to change how you think about your space completely. Follow Myquillyn on Instagram @thenester and grab her book, House Hushing, out August 25! https://thenester.com/ Want to get organized?

Hey Clutterbugs! Still confused about your organizing style? Over 20 million people have taken my Clutterbug quiz, but if you're still struggling with clutter, piles, and mess, let's diagnose you differently. Instead of asking what organizing systems work for you, I'm going to show you how to identify your style by looking at your mess. In this episode, I break down the 4 types of messy: the Dropper, the Shover, the Spreader, and the Piler. I'll teach you how to diagnose yourself in 30 seconds by looking at your kitchen counter, bathroom, and entryway. Those high-traffic spaces reveal your natural tendencies, not your fantasy self. I also share specific organizing advice for each Clutterbug style, answer listener questions about visual vs. hidden storage, and of course, give you a challenge to tackle while you listen. By the end of this episode, you'll know exactly what your organizing style is and have made real progress in your home. Let's get organized!

Inside the Messy Middle: Why Progress Doesn't Look Like Progress | Clutterbug Episode #338

Monday, August 10, 2026 • Duration 45:56

Hey Clutterbugs! If you've been decluttering for weeks and your house STILL looks like a mess, let me be the first to tell you you're doing everything right. If you're putting in the work without seeing results, you're not failing. You're in the Valley of Disappointment, and it's exactly where you're supposed to be. After 17 years as a professional organizer, I've learned that progress isn't linear. You can work for days, weeks, even months without seeing visible change—and then suddenly, like magic, everything clicks. But most people quit right before they reach that breakthrough moment. In this episode, I'm breaking down the Valley of Disappointment (a concept from Atomic Habits by James Clear) and showing you what it looks like for each organizing style. Because understanding WHERE you are in the process is the difference between giving up and pushing through to that transformational moment. The Valley of Disappointment is temporary. Your breakthrough is right around the corner. Don't quit now—you're closer than you think. Go work on a space that feels stalled while you listen. Make it 1% better. That's all you need to do today.

THE 5 REAL Reasons You're Drowning in Clutter | Clutterbug Episode #337

Monday, August 3, 2026 • Duration 52:16

If you've been decluttering for years and you're STILL drowning in clutter, you're not lazy—you're lying to yourself. After 17 years as a professional organizer, I've learned that your messy house isn't the problem. It's just a symptom of something deeper you haven't identified yet. In this episode, I'm revealing the 5 REAL reasons people can't let go of their stuff—and spoiler alert: it has nothing to do with not having enough time, space, or help. Those are just excuses covering up the truth. Until you can name your root cause, you'll keep decluttering the same stuff over and over again. We're not weeding the garden anymore—we're ripping out the roots. Plus, a rant about ticks and Lyme disease, because I found one in my scalp mid-recording and now I'm convinced I'm dying. This episode goes DEEP. I want you to do something mindless while you listen—vacuum, dust, fold laundry—because I need you to actually HEAR this message. Stop making excuses. Let's figure out what's really going on so you can finally move forward. Want to get organized?

🏅 Stop Waiting for Motivation—Let’s Clean Together | Clutterbug Episode #336

Monday, July 27, 2026 • Duration 42:46

Hey Clutterbugs! This is the ultimate dopamine-boosting, motivation-pumping, task-crushing podcast for when you need to clean, declutter, organize, or tackle ANY boring task.If you have ADHD, are neurodivergent, or just struggle to do mundane things like dishes, laundry, or cleaning - this podcast is for you. We need energy, urgency, and hype to get through boring tasks. Doing mundane things can feel IMPOSSIBLE. I'm not even talking about a week's worth of dishes that's overwhelming - it could be three plates that just need to be put in the dishwasher. Why does this feel so hard? Our brain sees it and we have a big fat nope and we scroll TikTok instead. The reality is we are not built to do slow, boring, mundane things day in and day out. We're hunters, not farmers. So all of these tasks can feel like absolute torture.But here's the truth: We're not lazy. We're just under-stimulated. We gotta find the hacks. We need dopamine. We need to change our day from drudgery into tiny little punches of happiness and serotonin and reward so that we actually WANT to do these things. We feel excited and we keep going. This is how we become super productive people. So work with me as we make our way through six mini challenges in today’s podcast!
