Cleaning and decluttering routines can feel too complicated to stick to. Raise your hand if you have started multiple home routines or tried the one size fits all system, only to start skipping days and eventually give up because you didn’t have the time or energy to maintain the routine. 

If no one has told you, the state of your home today is not a reflection on you as a person. Life gets busy, things are constantly changing, and it is hard to keep up with everything. Especially if we are fighting with perfectionism. 

I hope this episode helps you simplify and feel better about testing different routines until you find the one that is right for you… the one that you will be able to maintain.

Today is the first official day of fall/autumn. Although you wouldn’t guess that in the heat dome that I live in! All the same, I am ready for some fall decorating. 

I know life is busy, but before you decide to skip decorating this year or fill up a cart with hundreds of dollars of decor, this episode will walk you through five simple ways to make your home feel cozy this fall with a little bit of decorating and decluttering. 

I am fighting a cold while recording this episode courtesy of elementary school germs (apologies for my sick voice!)

Choose a color palette. Whether you lean towards orange and red, jewel tones, or classic neutrals, picking one palette will make every decorating decision faster.

06: 5 Interior Design Hacks for When You’ve Decorated But Your Room Still Feels Off

It's 5:30. You open the fridge to start dinner, glance at your countertops, and decide today was meant to be a takeout ( or takeaway) day. 

I’m all for some good takeout, but if you are working on your health or financial goals, try these three small kitchen changes that make cooking (and cleaning) feel easier, even on your busiest nights.

In This Episode:

Why your countertops are sabotaging your meal plan. Messy counters can look overwhelming, and they can make cooking feel like a huge task.

Claim your cooking zone. Keep one area of your countertop clear except for the essentials. Meal prep and cooking will feel more manageable. 

Give the countertop clutter a new home. I give examples of what works for me as well as clients. 

How a kitchen time audit can help you overcome the thought that you don't have time or energy to reset your kitchen after meals. But also, permission to do the bare minimum if you really are low on energy, fighting ADHD task paralysis, or dealing with a tough chronic illness day. 

Listener Q&A: Rebecca from Sydney asks how to declutter a kitchen with limited cabinet and counter space.
