In our home, it’s a huge crime to toss practically clean clothes into the laundry basket. But what do you do with worn clothes that aren’t dirty and can be worn again? For most families, “half-clean” clothes tend to pile up on the floor, get tossed on chairs, and wadded up on dressers and nightstands. On today's episode, I give you simple and practical storage solutions for worn clothes that you want to wear again.

#253: Simplify Your Home With These 17 Decluttering Questions To Ask Yourself
Clutter can be so exhausting... especially when trying to get rid of it. Parting with things that you have an attachment to, for some people (including myself), can be really hard. In our culture we’re encouraged to buy more and do more. We all grew up acquiring things, but most of us were never taught how to let things go. If you truly want less clutter in your home, but you tend to feel a little overwhelmed or resistant to parting with your some of your stuff, it’s important to ask yourself the right questions when you assess each item. On today’s show, I give you 17 (plus) questions to ask yourself when organizing your home. These questions will help you determine what you should keep and what you should part with.

#252: Change Your Life With This One Simple Belief
The beliefs you have about yourself and the world (which are sometimes subconscious) naturally affect your thoughts… which affect your feelings… which affect your behavior and your actions. So, to put it simply, your deep ingrained beliefs determine what you do each day to accomplish your goals and dreams. On today’s episode, I share with you one very specific belief that can be a total game changer. If you can wrap your brain around it and really embrace it, it will change your perspective on so many things in life. This belief will help you manage your time and it will help you accomplish anything you set out to do. It’s a very simple concept that will help override another negative belief that we all have about certain things in life. Keep in mind this episode is the Part 2 of , so definitely listen to that one first. Simplicity University Our first signature course is now open for pre-registration: .

#251: Build New Habits & Accomplish Your Goals With This One Simple Tactic
I’m sure you have a few to-do lists (for some ideas on how to manage them, check out ). You probably write them all down or you may even have an app on your phone (listen to to hear about one of my favorites). And you may even have a daily focus list (if you don’t, you must… just listen to and ). We all have tasks and daily to-dos that once we’re done with them, we can check them off our list for good. But we also have daily tasks that are repetitive. Ones that we need to do over and over again, every day. Many of these tasks need to be done consistently to help us reach our goals. Unfortunately, these repetitive to-dos become mundane, so they end up getting get overlooked. Sometimes we forget about them or we get just too “busy” to do them. On today’s episode I give you one simple idea to help you focus on those daily to-dos to ensure that they always get done.

#243: What Do You Surround Yourself With?
What do you surround yourself with? Throughout your everyday life you are surrounded by things, people, and ideas. You see things and you hear things. And when you see and experience those things, they have some sort of an effect on you, whether you know it or not. Your brain is constantly absorbing the positive and negative energies that those things represent to you, which may be different for different people. What matters is whether or not it is a positive or negative effect. For today’s episode, I focus on information that we surround ourselves with. I also give you ideas on how to build better boundaries with sources of information that tend to pop up and steal your attention when you least expect it.

#235: Random Lessons I Learned From An Extreme Diet (plus a GIVEAWAY!)
With big life changes and transitions, come big life lessons. For the last six months, my family and I made some MAJOR changes in our diet. During this episode, I tell you all about that journey and all the random lessons I learned from it. It was actually very interesting how many of those lessons run parallel with other topics I often talk about on the show concerning organizing and simplifying your home and life. My intention of this episode (and a few to follow) is to explore the mindsets behind healthy eating, as well as the habits and lifestyle changes that go along with it. Please keep in mind, I am not a certified nutritionist, dietitian and I am for sure not a doctor. The information I share with you on this show is based off of my own personal experience and many years of research. So as you hear me share strategies and techniques that have worked for me, keep in mind that everyone is different... your experience and views may not be the same as mine, and that's of course, totally ok.

#233: Survival Guide - How To Pack For A Road Trip
Last week, we decided to start our summer adventures a little early. We pulled our son out of school for a whirlwind road trip from Seattle, Washington to Austin, Texas. We drove 32 hours straight there with very few stops! I know it may sound crazy (especially considering we even took our dog) but it was fun. And we survived. And in this episode I tell you all about it. Now keep in mind, the ideas I share with you can be applied to ANY space in your life, particularly in your home. Not just your car. So, even if you aren't planning any road trips this year, you can still get a lot from this show.

#230: Simplify Your Life With This Unique Method
Shopping and acquiring new things can be fun and VERY therapeutic. But having too much stuff that you have to organize, manage, and store is NOT always fun. What if we can somehow tap into the therapeutic aspects of letting go of things? What if we could get equal enjoyment from purging things as we do from buying them? Wouldn't that make simplifying and organizing a lot easier? On today's show I revisit a unique perspective that can help you clear out the clutter in your home to reveal the simplified space hiding underneath.

#229: Sometimes You Just Need A Drastic Change For A New Perspective
Over the years, I've learned that simplifying your home isn't just about where you put things or what nifty little storage bins you should buy to put things in. There is actually soooo much more to it than that. Organizing your home and simplifying your life has a lot to do with your mindsets, not just storage tips. Which is why, I always say that I specialize in the psychology behind home organizing. For today's episode, I share with you a "mindset strategy" that I use for certain clients. And I even use it myself, at times... because it works.
