Take my simple framework to build a system for digital file organization that is easy to maintain.

If you are struggling to find the balance between consistency with routines and actually living and enjoying your life, this episode is for you! We are going to be talking about some key things to remember when it comes to designing a life with routines that will actually create more freedom and flexibility rather than leaving your schedule feeling too structured and rigid.

161 | Don’t Put it Down, Put it Away! | 4 Habits for Tidy Living 18:47

hace 6 días18:47

18:47

Are you ready to keep a tidy home? A lot of people are terrified that someone may “pop by” without warning like the good ol’ days because their house looks like a tornado came through it and they are embarrassed. We used to be this way! Our house would fall apart during the week and then we would spend half our weekend trying to put it back together by cleaning and catching up on laundry. We hadn’t created the habits we needed to maintain a tidy home throughout the week. Over the last several years, we have been creating the habits and routines we needed to maintain a tidy home without too much effort. Not only does the house stay “company ready” (or at least very close to it), but it also makes cleaning easier and it’s given us back our weekends! So I hope you are ready because today I am sharing four habits for tidier living! Let's get to it! Renae . . .

Today we are talking about simplifying a task we all do every day - getting dressed! If we get frustrated right away in the morning by just picking out an outfit, it can set our whole day off on the wrong foot. So let's make this routine easier! Shari Braendel is joining me as a guest today. Shari is the founder of Style by Color, inspiring women to new levels of confidence. She has certified hundreds of women through the Style by Color Academy where she provides training for women wanting to become color analysis specialists and Christian image consultants. During our conversation, Shari walked me through tips on figuring out which colors are best based on our personal features and we also discuss her online course program, the 27 Hangers Closet System . I had a chance to dive in and pick her brain with questions about how we can take a closet that feels overwhelming and make changes to simplify our selection while also creating a mix & match wardrobe that will save time each morning! Her strategy of shifting from impulse buying to building a purposeful wardrobe will help save money, too! I’m excited to share this one and I hope you enjoy our conversation as much as I did!

Last week I had the opportunity to be interviewed LIVE on radio! This was my first time on radio and it was such a great experience so I thought it would be fun to share in case you wanted to take a listen. This show is called Real Presence Live presented by the Real Presence Radio Network . The hosts were our local parish priest, Fr. Richard Kunst and Cindy Jennings. (Fun fact: Fr. Rich also happens to own the largest papal artifact collection outside of Rome!) Our conversation focused on building daily routines to help support a stronger faith life and help you live more intentionally without the overwhelm. Heads up - since it was recorded live, you will notice a few odd pauses where there were originally breaks for commercials. :) Enough explanation, let’s get to the interview! Renae . . .

If you struggle with getting a regular workout in, you are not alone! It can be tough to stay consistent with our movement routine. Sometimes we might create this amazing workout plan and we’ve got the best of intentions, but then life happens and we skip a day. Then the next day we get busy again and think “Well, I skipped yesterday so I’ve already failed. I’ll just start over Monday.” This is where most of us go wrong. We think it’s all or nothing, but that’s not the way we should be building this routine that is SO good for our health.
