Let’s play a little game.

(It’s like a decluttering challenge… but for your soul.)

Think of something you’ve been holding onto… that you know you don’t really want anymore.

It could be a digital file.
A course idea.
A half-finished project.
An outfit that hasn't fit since 2016.
A client offer that secretly drains you.
We all have that one thing we’re avoiding.
We keep it because… what if we need it later?
What if we regret letting it go?

But what if—hear me out—letting it go actually creates the space for something better?

That’s what I’m exploring in this week’s episode of the podcast.

I’m sharing the real reason we delay decisions, and the 3-step process that helps you let go faster... without the drama, guilt, or emotional gymnastics.

And to prove I’m not just talking the talk, I’m showing you the messiest room in my house—the infamous secret room—and taking you behind the scenes of me decluttering it (again).

So here’s your challenge:

Comment below and name ONE thing you’re letting go of today. Just one.

We’re in this together.
Bonus points if you tag a friend to do it with you.

Let’s talk about letting go and doing it way faster.
If you're anything like me and my clients, letting go can feel emotionally heavy and unnecessarily hard.
But what if it didn’t have to be?
In this episode, I’m walking you through the three-step decision-making framework that came straight out of a recent Organized Life Academy coaching call. This framework will help you change the way you think about your stuff. Whether it’s physical clutter, digital overwhelm, or outdated business ideas, this process helps you finally make decisions (and stop circling around them for months).
I’ll also share details about a one-time-only secret-room organizing event you’re invited to. It’s part workshop, part BTS (behind the scenes) peek at me decluttering a room that’s gotten completely out of hand (again).
➡️ Register for the workshop on October 17, 2025, at https://simplysquaredaway.com/secret.
If you want to see the organizing steps in action and how I actually make decisions in real life, don’t miss this!
What you’ll learn in this episode:

Why letting go actually gets easier when you do this first

The simple rule one client uses to decide what ideas to keep or let go of.

How to shift your mindset after making a decision so you don’t regret it later

What clutter really is (spoiler: it’s not what you think)

A blunt but freeing perspective on business offers, clothes, and all the “what if I need it later?” items

Exactly how I’m prepping for my second round of decluttering in my infamous “secret room”

Burnout is Not About Doing Too Much - It’s about doing too little of what lights you up.

Be honest: What’s your relationship with your calendar?

💬 Comment below with one of these:

A. “I worship my Google Calendar.”
B. “I use it… sometimes.”
C. “What calendar?”

Let’s normalize the messy middle—and talk about how to make time management feel GOOD again. 👇

If you think you suck at time management, try this system.

I’ve used the SPACE method for 17 years, and it works on everything, even your calendar.

No more guessing. No more chaos. Just clear categories, time blocks, and energy for the stuff that matters.

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
