Overstimulation
Overstimulation.Can you relate to your home being overstimulating?Is clutter and disorganisation the main cause of this for you?Sometimes it's because you have too much stuff... but often it's also due to lack of organisation.Looking into a toy space where the toys are strewn all over the floor is more overstimulating than a toy space with containers/ storage and order.If you open the pantry and can't easily find ingredients because it's disorganised, you're less likely to cook dinner and more likely to have cereal or get uber eats.Overstimulation effects us mentally, emotionally and physically, learn some simple tips to combat this in todays episodeYou might also like to listen toMight As WellJoin our community Leave a Google ReviewFollow me on InstagramFollow me on FacebookJoin my Facebook groupLeave a review on Apple PodcastThank you to my sound engineer, Jarred from Four4ty Studio.

Storage Units
One in 10 Australians use a storage unit - and these figures are pretty consistent for our US listeners. Storage units can fill a gap, meet a need, and save you when you're in a bind... but left unattended their cost can far outweigh the benefit.Before you put things into storage, ask yourself some questions- Does that value of this item justify spending thousands of dollars per year to store it?- How will I feel about this item in 2-3 years when I've invested so much more money to keep it?- Would I be better off donating these items and just repurchasing them in the future if I really need them?Once you have a storage unit, see if these questions help you make the next right steps- Could I consolidate my storage unit into a smaller space to save money?- If I go through and declutter what I no longer need, could I save money by downsizing my storage unit or eliminate my need for it?- What else could I do with the money I'm currently spending on storage?Thanks to Prudence Madigan from Shift Your Storage for the helpful conversation and professional insightsJoin our community Leave a Google ReviewFollow me on InstagramFollow me on FacebookJoin my Facebook groupLeave a review on Apple PodcastThank you to my sound engineer, Jarred from Four4ty Studio.

Wall Clutter
Today we're talking about seeing the vertical walls in our home with fresh eyes. Oftentimes the art/ pictures/ decor on our walls becomes invisible to us as we've become so used to it our brains don't even register it anymore. Take a slow walk through your home, noticing everything on your walls, doors and front of your fridge, without touching anything, just noticing. You might like to change up some of your photos/ art around the house, or you may be inspired to clear spaces and enjoy them blank for a while. Maybe you're creative and you want to create some art for yourself, or be on the look for ways to decorate your walls in a fresh way.Join our community Leave a Google ReviewFollow me on InstagramFollow me on FacebookJoin my Facebook groupLeave a review on Apple PodcastThank you to my sound engineer, Jarred from Four4ty Studio.

Later Never Comes
Until this week I never understood the saying, "later never comes" I just thought it meant procrastinators will always procrastinate, but it means that the time right now is literally never later (perhaps obvious to most!)Later is an indefinite postponement, which has real life impacts on our homes and lives when we continually put things off to an indefinite future. Learn today some strategies for getting things done like a boss and what to do when you can't tackle something straight away, but you also don't want to kick it down the road to later.Join our community Leave a Google ReviewFollow me on InstagramFollow me on FacebookJoin my Facebook groupLeave a review on Apple PodcastThank you to my sound engineer, Jarred from Four4ty Studio.
