204: Project Brain – The Good and the Bad Podcast

Sometimes using a different word to think of a task in your home can move you forward on making progress in your home. When that happens, use the different word. I have a Project Brain.

Room to Move – Room to Live

A Decluttering Story – When I Have to Do This Before I Can Do That

202: Letting People Into Your Home and In On Your Slob Secret

I’m answering questions about when it’s okay to let people into the house, how to know when you’re ready and your house is ready. I’m also talking about friendships and the getting-to-know-you awkward conversations and assumptions about housekeeping being easy for women and not for men, and how to get past this into deeper friendships.

I’ll start by explaining why I don’t use emotions as part of my decluttering process. I can’t use emotions to declutter because I’m emotional. I’d keep everything. Every baby sock, every book, every bottle of expired pain reliever. No matter if the baby sock was already too small when my bigfoot kid came out of […]
