Today's special Encore Episode is a replay of one of my all time favorite episodes on Life Made Simple.

And why is it one of my favorites? We'll it's because on that I show I explain to you in detail one of the biggest setbacks many of my clients face when trying to organize their homes.

It's very common and it usually results in some major frustration for them. It's when they unknowingly try to organize backwards.

Motivation is a funny thing. It's not something that just magically appears when you want it to. Motivation doesn't always find you.

You don't just wake up every single morning feeling motivated. Maybe some people do, but I know I sure don't! Motivation won't find you. And with that in mind, on today's episode, we take a look at how you can find motivation.

Sometimes life can feel "crazy busy". For me, when that happens, important things tend to fall through the cracks. And while I'm constantly getting stuff done, it seems there's a lot that's not getting done.

On today's Encore Episode of Life Made Simple, we are going to rewind to a very crazy busy time in my life when I needed to refocus, reassess, and reset.

Clutter doesn't appear out of thin air. At some point in time, every item in your home was carried across your threshold by either you or some other member of the family.

For most families, including my own, stuff easily comes INTO the house. However, things don't GO OUT as effortlessly. Letting go, downsizing, purging, and removing unnecessary things from our homes takes time and effort. It takes INTENTION.

On today's episode I give you a detailed periodic purge schedule that you can adopt to help declutter your home on a regular basis.

Imagine there was a natural disaster or some other emergency. If you only had a very short amount of time to evacuate your home and could only take what could fit in your car, what would you take?

What do you have that's irreplaceable? Anything extremely valuable?

Here's another question for you... is your home simplified and organized enough so that it would take very little effort to quickly grab those sort of things?  

The reason I ask these questions is not necessarily to convince you to prepare for such an occasion, although that's not a bad idea. My intention for today's show is to encourage you to analyze your relationship with your belongings.

"The hardest decision in life can be which bridge to cross and which one to burn."

We all spend an inordinate amount of time, and a tremendous amount of energy, making life choices every day.  Some are huge and can have an impact on every aspect of our life. And then some are trivial, like what shirt to wear or what to have for lunch.

On today's episode I give you my thoughts on making tough decisions and trusting life's journey.
