Get Organized HQ Podcast – Details, episodes & analysis

Having a plan is often the make or break between success and failure. When you're feeling overwhelmed staring down the task of decluttering your entire house, where do you start? We're breaking down the answer to that question in today's episode!

When we hear "routines" our minds go to the Insta-worthy morning routine with a steaming cup of coffee in hand, some quiet time, a fresh new journal, and probably a beautiful sunrise to boot. But those kinds of "routines" can actually create more stress and pressure, rather than being a tool that helps us put daily tasks on autopilot. In today's episode I'm sitting down with Diane in Denmark to discuss how to create routines that actually work for you and your unique life circumstances. Listen in!

Welcome to the Get Organized HQ Podcast! We're kicking things off by giving you a behind the scenes peek into how in the world we got here - we being Laura Smith, who you know and love from the Get Organized HQ newsletter and YouTube channel, and your podcast host Tasha Lorentz. Some things you'll learn in this episode: what Get Organized HQ and nuclear power plants have in common, why we talk about home organization in the first place, and how Laura and Tasha met (which is probably NOT what you'd expect!) Listen in! 

Emergency preparedness is awesome, but so is being ready for whatever curveball a mostly-typical-Tuesday may bring. In today's episode I'm joined by Melanie from Plan For Awesome, and being prepared for the unexpected is her specialty! Listen in.

I've asked a lot of guests on the Get Organized HQ Podcast to open up and share an honest look at their daily routine, so it seemed only fair that I share my answers to the same questions I ask our guests. In today's episode I'm giving you a breakdown of what it's like to be Tasha for a day, along with some tips of what's working in my routines right now. But don't worry! I also open up and share some of the current fails because, let's face it, we ALL have fails! Listen in!

Does it feel like there aren't enough hours in the day to keep up with all the things that need to be done? We've ALL been there! Today I'm joined by Terri from Today With Terri K and we're talking tips and tricks for getting the best things done - and I'm gonna give you a hint right here up front! The secret sauce of getting things done lies in those small pockets of time throughout your day. Listen in!

We all go through seasons of survival mode - whether it's health struggles, a big deadline at work, tons of extracurriculars all converging on the same month, or just a difficult season, there are times when we simply aren't at our best. And that's okay! Today we're chatting about how to survive when you find yourself in survival mode. We've all been there, so if that's where you find yourself today, I hope this episode encourages you with the truth that you can do this! 

When you're feeling stressed out by the daily grind, decluttering is likely one of the furthest things from your mind. In today's episode we're sitting down with Tracy from dClutterfly to talk about how removing excess stuff from our spaces actually has a huge positive impact on our day-in, day-out routine. Listen in!

Today we are talking about the tension we can feel when we begin decluttering, wanting to have less stuff in our space, but when it comes down to it, we also want to keep the stuff we have. How do we work through that so that we can have less stuff and the peace that comes with that?

Tasha shares ideas on how to write good lists that serve us well because sometimes we can make lists that leave us feeling defeated and like we’re falling behind. That’s not what we want! Let’s learn to make lists that help us make progress.
