Do you ever feel like other people are just naturally organized, but for you, the thought of getting your home organized is so overwhelming?

After a grocery store conversation, I realized that so many people are intimidated by "organizing". But I know that often, these folks are getting stuck in one (or more) of the 5 steps of my organizing method.

In this episode, I'll share which steps are most common to get stuck in, and how to break down organizing so that it doesn't feel so hard anymore.

I also invite you to join The Organized Home Advantage private group if you enjoy having little conversations about topics like this. You can share your thoughts and challenges with other working moms in a safe, non-judgmental space. Hope to see you in there!

This mini-episode will introduce you to my "secret weapon" cleaning tool that helps me daily, even when I don't feel like cleaning (which, let's face it, is every single day!).

We're celebrating Earth Day this week, and so here are two ways to clean chemical clutter from your home:

1. Remove some PFAS-containing products and personal-care items from your home, and 
2. Declutter your cleaning and disinfecting supplies

Making the distinction between cleaning and disinfecting cleared up which cleaning products I should keep, and which I could get rid of.

You can look up ingredients and ratings from the Environmental Working Group at ewg.org.

Pat Chin also shares her Organizing Story with us. She's a Healthy Home consultant, which means she helps people to remove unwanted pollutants from their homes. She went through the 'cleaning products detox' herself, and shares how she did it, and how she ultimately became a consultant to help other families do the same.

We make mental maps every day, and sometimes, these mental maps of the stuff we try to keep track of can overload our minds! And that causes stress – not to mention, we can’t remember where we put that very important things we were SURE we wouldn’t forget!

That’s why I use The Simple Single - the single location to store each type of thing in our homes.

Once we get this down, then we can branch out and store certain things in multiple locations.

If you start with the Simple Single, together with the CLEAR Framework from Episode 001, you’ll be on the road to quickly being able to find anything you own, anytime.

Do you start each work day with a To-Do list that you know you'll never get to the end of?

It happens to all of us. In fact, it used to happen so much that my days felt overwhelming and chaotic, from the moment the kids woke up, to the minute I finally fell asleep at night!

When I started using my 4-Stage Daily Plan, things were very different: I know my Essentials for each Stage, and I worked to accomplish those, no matter what "priority" might pop up during the day.

The 4 Stages are:

1. The Morning, from the time I woke up to the time we left the house
2. My Work Day
3. The Afternoon and Early Evening - afterschool, dinner, etc., and
4. The Late Evening, after the kids were all taken care of, or were in bed

And after listening to the episode, come on over to The Organized Home Advantage, our private group where we, working moms, chat about topics like this in a friendly, non-judgmental space!

Does this title give you hope? I hope so! I've got 3 strategies for you to try out, and they don't involve chore charts or sticker rewards! These are 3 strategies that have worked for me to get my kids on board with keeping their things in order:

1. Model the Behavior
2. Use Reward Language
3. Create Habits and Routines

Now, these are not magic-wand strategies, and they take time to work. But if your sticker rewards and chore charts aren't working anymore, give these a try, and let me know what's worked and not worked for you!

Do you feel like you're drowning in huge plastic bins full of kids' outgrown clothes? So much so, that you actually don't want to dig in them for the next size your child will fit into?

The trick is to find that balance between saving money by keeping clothes to reuse, and adapting to the space you have available to store these clothes easily and efficiently, so that you'll actually use them again!

The two systems I recommend are:

1. The bin system, and
2. The too-big and too-small container system

Are you worried about decluttering things because of "What If?"

What if I need that notebook from the class I took 8 years ago in my next job?
What if we could use that wig for a future Halloween costume?

I used to get stuck with the What Ifs too. So I tried a bunch of different decluttering methods to see how to get past those.

In this episode, I'm sharing 5 of those methods with you (although there are a bajillion more!) because I think these 5 can get you moving quickly towards building a decluttering habit - which is the cornerstone to organizing, in my opinion!

Don't forget that I'm inviting you to join my private group, The Organized Home Advantage, where you're free to talk about organizing with other working moms on their organizing journey too.

Are you feeling like "doing a little bit of organizing each day" is getting you nowhere? It might be because you're focusing on the wring TYPE of clutter.

There are 5 types of clutter that affect us:

1. Physical Clutter
2. Mental Clutter
3. Digital Clutter
4. Environmental Clutter
5. Social Clutter

Once you identify which type is keeping you stuck, you can declutter and organize it using my CLEAR5 Framework. And then, you'll see results that will motivate you to move to your other types of clutter!

My invitation to join The Organized Home Advantage group is still open! Each week, we talk about a topic that can support you as you organize. Join us here!

In this mini-episode, I'm sharing with you what my friend, Ellen Faye, author of Productivity For How You're Wired told me about 2 years ago: A "B' is good enough!

It took a while for me to absorb this, and it may take you a while, too. But I share this with you wholeheartedly: perfection may not be what you need right now. Get to that "B" in your home, have more people over, love your house, enjoy your family. Then hire someone (dare I say, me? Lol!) to help you get to that 'A'.

Zee

We've changed our name! Organizing for Beautiful Living podcast is still all about sustainable home organizing, decluttering and lifestyle tips for working moms and entrepreneurs.

It's simply that Organizing for Beautiful Living aligns more closely with my mission to help moms organize their homes sustainably without sacrificing all their time so that they can live more socially with less stress.

If you've ever felt like having someone over but talked yourself out of it because of how much preparation it would take to get your house "in oder" and "presentable", this is what I'm talking about.

When you use my CLEAR5 Framework to organize, your home can be guest-ready in a few minutes, anytime! So, let's get started, ok?

Do you have folders on your computer, and notebooks in your office, filled with notes, ideas, articles and passages you wanted to keep at one point, but they've now become files and notebooks you never look at anymore?

Maybe those notes that you took time to compile just feel like a huge mountain of information to sift through, and so it sits there, unused!

In this episode, I'll tell you about the note-organizing method I've been using. It's simple, quick, and I can easily find notes and resources I've kept on various topics.

Also listen to Episode 002 to refresh your memory about The Simple Single. I use this concept to choose where to keep my notes, ideas and resources.

Are you ready to be organized in the new year? Well, to make it easier to get, and stay, organized, I've got 5 habits that I use all the time that I think will help you, too! They are:

1. Micro-organizing
2. Quick Meal Planning
3. Do laundry often
4. Make your bed every day, and
5. Weekly Planning.

Put these 5 habits into your "organizing toolkit", and you'll find that being organized doesn't have to be an all-encompassing chore. Instead, it will be a simple and natural part of your day.

You can hear about my laundry routine in Episode 009. Make Summer Easy: Change Your Laundry Routine to be Summer Friendly on Apple Podcasts and on Spotify.
