Welcome or welcome back to the Joy Loving Home podcast. The summer rhythm is coming, and with it, a whole lot of chaos, spontaneity, and coming and going. With your kids out of school and extra activities aplenty, this season can feel overwhelming. However, in this episode, we explore how you can embrace the chaos with an unusual organizing hack.

The idea is simple: treat your home like a construction site. Like a road construction project that seems to be making little progress, your home can feel the same way in summer. But remember, even though it might look disorganized, something is getting done. The cleaning out, rearranging, and selecting of items for donation or disposal are part of the process. Learn to ride this wave, be spontaneous, and let your motivation guide you. Even when things seem disheveled, know that you're making progress.

By the end of summer, you'll realize that significant changes were made, even if these changes only begin to come together once kids are back in school. So embrace the chaos that comes with the season and ride along with this unusual organizing hack. Don’t let the whole summer pass by thinking you can't get anything done. Find joy in the little things, and the summer chaos will become a season of creativity and freedom.

Feel free to reach out, share your stories of summer chaos, and how you are navigating it. Looking forward to hearing from you and possibly doing a follow-up episode at Labor Day. Until then, continue to choose joy. Don't forget to rate, review, and share the podcast. You can also tag us on Instagram at joylovinghome.

Embrace this upcoming summer chaos and the construction phase. Enjoy!

In this episode of the podcast, we're inspired by a YouTube short titled "Three-Year-Old Boy Who Leaves Professional Engineers Shocked". In the video, a three-year-old child uses a unique approach to fix an unbalanced Lego bridge, showing us how a fresh perspective can redefine problem-solving. Join Joy, a professional organizer, mom of four and fellow fish brain, as we delve into this story and its parallels with organizing our homes. Together, we will learn how to subtract rather than add, and in the process create a joy-loving home.

The thoughts of this three-year-old boy inspire us to view home organization from a different angle. We often believe that the solution to clutter is to buy more organizing products. But what if the answer to more efficient organization is to subtract rather than to add? In this episode, Joy takes us through this philosophy with practical steps applied to a simple kitchen drawer scenario.

The podcast episode will take you through four steps: defining the space, pulling out anything that does not serve the defined function or purpose of the space, removing items that you don’t actually use, and finally, neatening up the space. This subtractive approach to organization, inspired by the wisdom of a three-year-old, aims to unlock better functionality in our homes without the need for additional organizing products.

Join Joy as she tests this 'Think Like a Three-Year-Old' approach to declutter some spaces in her kitchen and shares the enlightening results. Embark on this journey to discover the joy of subtraction, declutter your home, and learn how you too can have a joy-loving home. Let's quit trying to add and start simplifying by subtracting, and in doing so, reshape our perspective on home organization.

Let's discuss the downside of choosing to declutter without organizing. Decluttering alone without a game plan for organizing can lead to discouragement and a sense of failure, as it often doesn't reveal any immediate 'win' or visible change. 

For neurodiverse brains it is important to see decluttering and organizing in tandem, not as separate activities. Let's challenge typical home organizing philosophies to find a method that suits your unique needs and thinking patterns.

Remember to have a 'Room of Requirement' (Introduced in episode 18) – a unique idea for dealing with items whose place in the house is yet to be determined.

In this potentially controversial episode, I challenge one of the widely accepted approaches to organizing: decluttering first. Listen for a recent example of organizing a closet for a client who wanted to give her husband the gift of organization without making any decluttering decisions on his behalf. Going through this non-standard approach, I reveal interesting insights on how not decluttering can remove stress and decision fatigue.

I share insights on how to make organizing a simpler process by sorting instead of decluttering. Find out how these changes can make your spaces feel fresher without the pressure of giving anything up. I also talk about the unexpected benefit of this approach: It can inadvertently lead you to declutter on your own accord.

Making your home function in a way that works best for you is more important than following organizing steps to a tee. Bonus tip included on how consistent visual elements in your organized spaces can contribute to a feeling of lightness and stress reduction. Tune in to discover a different tactic to decluttering and organizing, and learn how you can benefit from breaking the rules.

Discover practical and tangible steps to help reset your home environment, especially for those with ADHD, in the latest episode of Joy Loving Home podcast. Rather than offering a quick fix or hack, which might work temporarily, this episode delves into the real reasons we often struggle to reset our lives after a period of chaos.

Often, people with ADHD experience difficulty with resetting because of the inherent chaos of their minds and surroundings. Using a fish-monkey analogy, it is explained that while the world is stationary for neurotypicals (monkeys), it is swirling and constantly changing for those with ADHD (fish). Therefore, it becomes necessary to create strategies for organizing that align with the ADHD brain, as opposed to those that work for neurotypical brains.

This episode isn't about going back to how things were, or resetting to a time before the chaos. Instead, it encourages you to move forward, making progress, even if in small bits. It advises on simple tasks such as tidying your desk or clearing a corner of a table, reminding you to celebrate these wins with before and after photos. Progress, no matter how small, is still progress.

Finally, this episode invites you to join a membership group where you can participate in accountability challenges as you work towards managing your home. The group provides a supportive community who understands your struggles and celebrates your victories. So choose joy and take a step towards making your home a space of calm amid the chaos.

This episode does not merely provide practical advice.

It invites listeners to reframe this process, visualizing each object's role in their new home. 

Lastly, the discussion transitions to strategic tips such as planning the new space beforehand, contemplating temporary storage solutions for difficult items, and allowing room for the inevitable sadness that accompanies letting go. The episode concludes with thoughtful gift ideas for those living in downsized spaces, along with an exclusive announcement about the reopening of the membership program. To navigate your own downsizing journey or help your elders gracefully embark on theirs, Episode 200 is an essential listen.

So check your brain and remind yourself that you are not supposed to be an expert...you are just trying to get some basic knowledge or inspiration from the people you follow.
