136 | Feel Like You Need a Snack? How to Break Binge Eating and Procrastination Habits with Amber Abila

**Get on my Black Friday waitlist to earn a free gift and be the first to get access --> https://simplysquaredaway.com/bf Who knew food and business had so many things in common! Today, I talk with binge-eating specialist Amber Abila to explore the powerful parallels between overcoming binge eating and overcoming procrastination in business. Amber shares her transformative journey from food struggles to becoming binge-free and offers insight into her six-step method for rewiring habits. Together, they unpack how identity, urges, mindset, and even rewards can impact not only eating behavior but also how we show up in our work. Whether you find yourself procrastinating tasks in your business or reaching for snacks to avoid discomfort, this conversation will help you shift your perspective and take aligned action. Key Takeaways The game-changing thought that binge eating is just a habit—and how this mindset applies to procrastination. Why labeling yourself (e.g., “a procrastinator” or “a binge eater”) holds you back from change. How food noise parallels mental clutter and business disorganization. The role of scarcity vs. abundance mindset in both food and business. Amber’s six-step process to becoming a confident eater—and how it mirrors the habits needed for entrepreneurial success. Why it’s okay to rest and how using food (or productivity) as a break may be masking emotional needs. How to start trusting your intuition through body awareness.

131 | How Organized People Approach Time Management Differently

Do you suck at time management? Let’s fix that... For the full transcript, notes, links, and more, go to:  https://simplysquaredaway.com/131 What if the real reason you're struggling to manage your time isn’t your calendar, or your to-do list, or your never-ending sticky notes, but what you believe about yourself? And the fact that you don't have a system for time management? In this episode, I share the truth behind why saying things like “I’m terrible at time management” keeps you stuck… and what to do instead. Spoiler: We’re flipping that narrative today and rewiring your brain to believe you are extremely good at time management. I’ll also walk you through my signature SPACE organizing method (yes, the same one I use for your closet) and show you exactly how to use it for your time. That means sorting your tasks, purging them (get ready for the 4 D’s), assigning them a home, and finally building a container that energizes you to follow through. If your calendar looks like a battlefield, this episode is your new system, mindset, and strategy all in one. You’ll learn: The one belief that’s sabotaging your time management (and how to flip it fast) How to use the SPACE method to organize your calendar like you do your closet or your kitchen What to do before you open your planner or calendar Why batching, time blocks, and categories simplify everything The “delay bucket” trick that stops idea overload How containment creates clarity, calm, and structure for your brain Resources Mentioned: Episode 128: Alter Ego Exercise --> https://simplysquaredaway.com/128 15 Minute Declutter Challenge --> https://simplysquaredaway.com/declutter Organized LIFE Academy: https://simplysquaredaway.com/ola Organized Coach Academy: https://simplysquaredaway.com/oca

129 | The Organized Version of You Already Exists with Amber Cammidge

What if you could become more organized just by shifting how you see yourself? For the full transcript, notes, links, and more, go to:  https://simplysquaredaway.com/129 In this first-ever co-hosted episode, I team up with another brilliant organizing coach to nerd out about mindset, identity, and systems. We realized we share a foundational belief: it all starts with how you think about yourself. Do you believe you’re disorganized? That identity could be the very thing keeping you stuck. We get into all of it, from alter egos and decluttering shame to the reason containers aren’t the solution (yes, even the cute ones from Target). Plus, we each share our own organizing methods: mine is called SPACE, and hers involves the Four P’s and the Amber method. We also talk about why it feels impossible to stay organized, what to do when your brain rejects “I’m extremely organized", and the tiny tweak that makes a HUGE difference in your environment. What you’ll learn: How identity and mindset impact your organizing success The SPACE Method: A 5-step system to create and maintain order The Four P’s Framework: Prep, Purge, Process, Protect The Amber Method for mindfulness while decluttering Tips for using alter egos to break through mental clutter The power of linking maintenance to routines you already do This is a mix of Amber and me, all wrapped up in one conversation.
