This week's podcast episode was inspired by someone in the Facebook group: “I’m fighting so hard for a peaceful home that is clear of clutter. My mind can’t handle the mess. It doesn’t seem to matter how much I take out and how constantly I do tidy ups…The mess keeps exploding and I feel like I’m doing nothing but tidying up from sunrise to sunset.” Can you relate? In Episode 176, I share my 3 steps to get you off the tidy up hamster wheel - for good! Things I'm Loving Right Now✨ Now that my kids are FINALLY going back to school, I have been focusing on keeping my work tasks organized so I can work more efficiently. One of my favorite tools to stay organized is Meistertask. I love how I can duplicate cards with specific workflows that I repeat often! ✨ My organizing resource of the week is the book Organizing for the Rest of Us by Dana K. White. SUCH helpful guidance, especially if you're not "naturally" organized! ✨ My favorite meal of the week is this sausage zucchini soup! What are some things you're loving right now? Hit reply and let me know. On the journey with you, Emily P.S. Skipped to the end? No problem!
