Mom Life vs. Your Schedule (Who’s Winning?)
Mar 13, 202500:12:32Tap to summarizeIn the latest episode, host Kayla Giles dives into the battle between mom life and your schedule to find out who's truly winning. If you've ever felt like your schedule is running you rather than the other way around, you're not alone. Kayla offers insights into why your schedule might be working against you and shares valuable tips to turn things around. Whether you're a bustling mom or someone juggling multiple life roles, tune in for guidance on creating a schedule that works for real life, not just an ideal version of it.🔑Key Takeaways:Realistic Scheduling: Understand that planning for an idealized version of yourself won't work. Make sure your schedule reflects your real life, allowing for interruptions and unpredictabilities.Balance Overload: Avoid over-scheduling and under-prioritizing. Just because a task fits on paper doesn't mean it fits in your real life.Energy Alignment: Match your tasks with your energy levels. Don't push yourself into high-focus work when you're exhausted. Instead, save creative tasks for when you are fresh.Flexibility is Key: Leave room for unexpected events. Use flexible planning techniques such as batching tasks or implementing theme days to avoid overwhelming your schedule.Customizable Organization: Embrace methods like the top three approach or the 135 method to better manage your tasks, ensuring productivity without burnout.Connect with Kayla: 🌐 Website: https://take5organizing.com/📚 Work With Kayla: https://take5organizing.com/work-with-me📸 IG: https://www.instagram.com/take5organizing📘 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/634145148372248🆓Freebies: https://take5organizing.com/organizing-goodies-1

Transcribe →5 Quick Tips for Tackling Clutter and Overwhelm
Feb 28, 202500:23:56Tap to summarizeIn this episode of Organizing the Unorganized, Kayla discusses: Two Minute Tidy Trick: Kayla gives advice on using a timer for short periods, like two minutes, to quickly tidy up areas. This approach helps alleviate the feeling of constant clutter and allows for incremental progress in managing spaces. Sunday Reset in Five Minutes: Kayla suggests using Sundays to briefly organize and plan for the upcoming week. This can include a quick calendar check, a surface sweep of high-traffic areas, and a snapshot meal plan to ensure a smooth start to the week. Drop Zone Hack: To manage clutter efficiently, Kayla advises creating a designated drop zone for items that don't have an immediate home. This can prevent clutter piles in frequently used spaces and should be emptied regularly. Digital Clutter Management: Reducing digital clutter is essential for minimizing screen stress. Kayla recommends deleting unused apps, unsubscribing from unnecessary emails, clearing out downloads, and organizing your home screen to maintain digital order. Meal Planning: Kayla offers a quick and straightforward approach to meal planning by keeping a list of go-to meals and incorporating family input. She suggests storing recipes in the phone's notes section for easy access, which helps reduce daily decision fatigue regarding meals.Connect with Kayla 🌐 Website: https://take5organizing.com/📚 Work With Kayla: https://take5organizing.com/work-with-me📸 IG: https://www.instagram.com/take5organizing📘 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/634145148372248🆓Freebies: https://take5organizing.com/organizing-goodies-1
