123: Why Decluttering Was The Productivity Hack This Busy Mom Didn’t Know She Needed
12/03/24 • 23 min
Ever wondered how a mom went from having "no time for herself" to baking bread and reading books - without hiring help?
Tune in as Diana interviews Olivia, a member of Minimal-ish Starts Here and a stay-at-home mom of two little ones who wanted more time for herself but found something even better! She thought her four-bedroom house was perfectly organized until she started decluttering – and wow, did things change!
The biggest win? Instead of feeling burned out at the end of each day, Olivia now enjoys peaceful moments with her kids and has time for herself.
Don’t miss out as Olivia shares some amazing insights about:
- How removing excess toys actually led to her children playing more independently and becoming more interested in helping with household tasks.
- The game-changing kitchen reset system that turned her 45-minute evening cleanup into a quick 10-minute routine.
- Her brilliant solution for managing kids' clothes (spoiler: it involves ditching the folding!)
- The unexpected way decluttering improved her marriage by eliminating resentment around free time.
PS: You won't believe what her husband said when she asked him about all the changes! 😄
What can you expect from this podcast and future episodes?
- 15-20 minute episodes to help you tackle your to-do list
- How to declutter in an effective and efficient way
- Guest interviews
