The Routine Advantage | Simple Habits, Routines and Systems to Get Your Life Organized, Build Consistency and Reduce Overwhelm

- RANKED A TOP 3% PODCAST -
Are you going to bed at night thinking about your never-ending to-do list and already stressing about tomorrow?
Waking up exhausted and relying on coffee to get through your day?
Are you making multiple trips to the store each week, stressing about what to make for dinner each night, spending too much money on groceries and take out, and feeling frazzled about paying bills on time?
I'm Renae Matt and I've been where you are! I work full-time, I'm growing my own business, and I still want to spend quality date nights with my husband. Over the years I got so tired of the housework, the bills, and the never-ending list of things to do. I was trying to keep track of it all. It was overwhelming and I felt like I had no time left to ENJOY life.
Over time, I began to build simple routines to get organized. I set up the framework to have a foundation of routines that I can fall back on even when everything else feels like it's falling apart.
On this podcast, I share what I have learned so YOU can also build these routines that can transform your life!
• A DAILY HOME ROUTINE to keep a tidy home without wasting weekends cleaning and catching up on laundry.
• A MORNING ROUTINE to take care of YOU so you can begin each day feeling refreshed to show up for others.
• A MOVEMENT ROUTINE so you can feel rejuvenated and get back your energy!
• AN EASY BUDGET ROUTINE to create a plan for your money and help you get out of debt, get rid of money stress, and save for your dreams.
• A MEAL PLANNING ROUTINE to reduce the frustration and never have to wonder what's for dinner.
Our lives are busy, but they don't have to be overwhelming. When we can get these five foundational routines in place, you will have a system set up to help reduce the stress and give you your time back! I'm here to help you build these simple routines so that they can change your life, too.
You might think this isn't the right time because you are too busy to change something, but friend... when you feel TOO BUSY to prioritize your LIFE...that is when you know something NEEDS to change.
We can't get lost time back and God didn't create us to live our lives checking off boxes and drowning in errands.
So let's TAKE BACK YOUR TIME.
Instead of spending your evenings stressed about all the tasks you didn't get to, you will be able to spend those nights having fun with your family. Go for an evening walk, do a game night, find a hobby, or have a date night with your hubby.
When you get your life organized, you get your life back. THAT is the Routine Advantage.

The Routine Advantage | Simple Habits, Routines and Systems to Get Your Life Organized, Build Consistency and Reduce Overwhelm
09/04/23 • 26 min
Hey friend!
One of biggest reasons for overwhelm during a busy day can probably be summed up in one question - what are we having for dinner??
Today I’m sharing 12 steps for easy meal planning that will help you save time and money!
You will be able to easily create a weekly meal plan so you bo longer have to stress about what to make when you are tired after a long day.
You will no longer go to make dinner and realize the chicken is still in the freezer.
You also won’t have veggies rotting in the produce drawer because, even despite the best of intentions, it just seems like too much work to clean veggies when all you want to do is get dinner on the table as quickly as you can.
Let’s stop the stressing about meal planning and make your evenings more enjoyable!
You’re going to want to take notes on this, so grab a pen and paper and let’s get started!

56 | Creating a Morning Routine that is Flexible in Different Seasons of Life
The Routine Advantage | Simple Habits, Routines and Systems to Get Your Life Organized, Build Consistency and Reduce Overwhelm
03/25/24 • 19 min
One of my most treasured routines is my morning routine. For me, I love the quiet early mornings to focus on the things I have chosen to start my day. And if I skip it, I feel it! But that doesn’t mean every morning is exactly alike either.
I’ve been having conversations recently with other women about their morning routines, and one of the common things I’ve heard is that they feel like they aren’t keeping up with this routine because life gets too busy, but they still have a strong desire to have a morning routine.
I don’t think it has to be all or nothing. And the great thing about a morning routine is that you don’t just have to follow one routine - your morning routine should be crafted just for you!
So let’s talk about creating a morning routine that is flexible in different seasons of life and how to know what YOUR personal morning routine should consist of!
Let's get to it!

74 | Creating a Declutter Plan to Get Rid of the Mess
The Routine Advantage | Simple Habits, Routines and Systems to Get Your Life Organized, Build Consistency and Reduce Overwhelm
05/27/24 • 22 min
Whether we are aware of it happening or not, as life goes on, we collect STUFF. Before we know it, our homes are brimming with miscellaneous things. Yes, some of those things are useful and important, but so much of it is just “stuff” and even causes frustration because it always feels messy. When we have too much stuff, there isn’t enough space for everything to have a home, drawers and cupboards become too full to close, and we begin to believe that we just don’t have the skills to keep a tidy home.
If your house is messy, it might not have anything to do with your ability to keep a clean home. Yes, a tidy home takes intentional habits, but if our homes are overrun with “stuff”, it makes it very hard to keep up with it all! There’s that old break-up saying that goes, “It’s not you, it’s me.” Well, let’s take a version of that so we can break up with the junk and make sure you know that if it’s tough to keep a tidy home, it’s not your fault. Because.... “It’s not you, it’s your stuff.”
So let’s get rid of it!

20 | Get Rid of the Overwhelming To-Do List! TRY THIS INSTEAD!
The Routine Advantage | Simple Habits, Routines and Systems to Get Your Life Organized, Build Consistency and Reduce Overwhelm
11/20/23 • 21 min
How often do you create a to-do list that has 30 things written down the page? And how often are you able to FULLY accomplish all your "to-do" tasks before more get added?
Most of us create a to-do list that lists a bazillion things and we don’t have enough time to complete them all. So we end up with partly finished lists, then we continue to add more tasks, and it’s a never-ending cycle of a never-ending to-do list that leaves us feeling overwhelmed and always feeling behind.
What would you say if I told you I want you to ditch the traditional to-do list? Don’t panic because I have a better solution that will help you stay on top of your meal planning, budgeting, home cleaning, exercise AND your to-do list tasks - just without the mile long list! ;) You will save time and frustration and actually get things done! Trust me on this one and at least give it a try!
Let's get to it!

17 | Stop Running Out of Toilet Paper! How to Create an Essentials List to Save You Time, Frustration, AND Money
The Routine Advantage | Simple Habits, Routines and Systems to Get Your Life Organized, Build Consistency and Reduce Overwhelm
11/10/23 • 17 min
Hey friend!
Can we agree that it is SUPER annoying when you don’t realize you are out of shampoo until you are sopping wet in the shower? Or when you are trying to wash dishes, but realize you have no dish soap left so you start filling the bottle with water to try to get the last remaining suds out, hoping they are going to be clean enough to eat off.
Many years ago I got so tired of randomly running out of things and making multiple stops at Walmart throughout the month that I created an Essentials List and I haven’t looked back!
It is one of the best things ever to help you stay organized AND it even helps your budget!
Today I’m going to teach you how to create your own!
Let’s go!

Are you making multiple trips to the store because you didn’t take the time to properly meal plan and then you forgot the toilet paper?
Our lives are busy, but they don't have to be overwhelming.
I’m Renae Matt and I’ve been where you are! I work full-time, I’m growing my own business, I want to spend quality time with my husband and family, and I also want headspace to think. Is that too much to ask? Over the years I got tired of the housework, the bills, and the never-ending list of things to do. I was trying to keep track of it all and it was exhausting. I had no time left to ENJOY life. I knew there had to be an easier way so that I could have more time doing the things that were important to me... and there is!
I’m going to share with you all the tips and tricks I have learned to help you organize YOUR life!
>>> SIMPLE SYSTEMS to keep a tidy home without wasting Saturdays cleaning and catching up on laundry.
>>> MORNING ROUTINES that give you back your “me time” so you can tackle your busy days knowing you already prioritized your health.
>>> AN EASY BUDGET SYSTEM that has allowed me and my husband to get out of debt, get rid of money stress, and save for our dreams.

And so much more!
I want you to be able to get MORE done in LESS time and feel peace at the end of the day. The to-dos no longer control my time and I want to help you do the same.
From budgets to meal planning, to working out and so much more. I’m here to teach you everything I have learned so that it can change your life, too.
You might think this isn’t the right time because you are too busy to change something, but friend... when you feel TOO BUSY to prioritize your LIFE...that is when you know something NEEDS to change.
We can’t get our time back and we aren’t meant to live our lives checking off boxes and drowning in errands.
So together, let’s take back YOUR time.
Instead of spending your evenings stressed about all the tasks you didn’t get to, you will be able to spend those nights having fun with your family. Go for an evening walk, do a game night, find a hobby, or have a date night with your hubby.
