The Art of Decluttering

 Anna Dearmon Kornick is a highly sought after time management coach and hosts the podcast ‘It's About Time’. Today she shares with us why time management is important (tip: it's not just so you can get more stuff done!) and how knowing a few things about how humans manage time can drastically change your relationship with time management. My favourite part is when she talks about a time management swiss army knife - the principles she shares are game changing - make sure you listen right to the end.Follow Anna OnlineInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/annadkornick/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCaN48hIUyxrV5hHMlq2aCowWebsite: https://annadkornick.com/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.

You've heard of normal maths... you've maybe even heard of girl maths, but have you heard of Decluttering Maths!?Decluttering maths is logical, exponential and always truthful. The higher the number of items you have either in a category or in your home, the harder it is to get it organised, and harder it is to keep it organised. One thing I love about maths is that both sides of the equation balance out... so the opposite is also true... the lower the number of items you have either in a category or in your home, the easier it is to get organised, and easier it is to stay organised.ABC ArticleThis is week two in our two week series on DECLUTTERING MATHS 🙂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.

My dad gave me a lovely compliment today when he was over for a cup of tea and piece of banana bread - he said that my home is inviting and relaxing and 'feels like home'.And it got me thinking about watching "With love, Meaghan" on Netflix this week and how having a home where people feel welcome and relaxed is such a beautiful goal - above having it perfect, or minimalist or styled etc. That how you feel in your home, and how others feel in your home is more important than if the paint is outdated or the dishes don't match.Have a think about what helps you feel like your house is a home, both for you and your guests. Forget what other people, or the media might tell you is important - what is important to you? And go for that! Enjoying your home isn't about it being perfect, or always clean, or always having fresh cookies, it's about how you feel and how you want to feel. You've got this!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.

I have a pile of text books which have been sitting in my office for the last 4 months - they are texts that we thought my youngest would need, however in the 2 years since my eldest did the exact same subjects, the school has changed the edition or publisher of the text books and require students to have a copy of the new ones. So we have 8 text books in near new condition that nobody wants. And it's a dilemna for me - I can't find anywhere to donate them and feel bad throwing them out - a challenge many of my clients feel not only about their text books, but about many items in their house in general.So... for me I'll offer them to the school and if nobody wants them I will recycle them... unless a listener reaches out and can share a charity who sends texts overseas to developing schools!!If you too are struggling to get rid of text books, here are some tipsSell or donate them as soon as you're finished with them to have a higher chance of them being reused by someone elseSee if the school or college would like them to share with students who can't afford their own text booksAnd ultimately - recycle them if you can't get rid of them. You won't read them again and they're a big burden to lug around for the next 25 years!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 Hosted on Acast.
