Hi Guys! Welcome to the show! In today’s episode, I’m sharing how syncing your tasks with your natural 28-day cycle can make decluttering (and life) a whole lot easier. Now, let’s talk about syncing your tasks with your 28-day cycle, based on the book "In the Flow" by Alisa Vitti. Here’s a quick overview of the four phases of your cycle and how to use them to get more done: 1. Follicular Phase: Great time for planning and starting projects. 2. Ovulatory Phase: Ideal for physical tasks, like decluttering. 3. Luteal Phase: Focus on wrapping up and handling details. 4. Menstrual Phase: Perfect for rest, reflection, and journaling. By aligning your tasks with your natural energy, you’ll reduce stress, feel more productive, and get more done. It’s all about working *with* your body’s rhythms instead of against them.

Hi Guys! In today’s episode, I’m thrilled to share insights from a new moon meditation practice I attended last night. This episode dives deep into the transformative power of manifesting and the importance of internal boundaries.  Start Small -  Begin your journey of self-work with manageable commitments. 2. Prioritize Yourself - Recognize the importance of keeping promises to yourself. 3. Embrace Change -  Understand that changing your internal dialogue is crucial for personal growth. 4. Manifestation and Commitment - Use the new moon as a catalyst for setting intentions and commitments to yourself. As we embrace the new moon today, I encourage you to take a moment for yourself. Whether it’s a few minutes of quiet or a simple promise, let this be the start of a deeper commitment to yourself.  Come join us in our Facebook Group!  Here's a link:  https://www.facebook.com/groups/declutteryourchaos Check out my new website: www.declutteryourchaos.comFollow me on instagram: @declutteryourchaos Link to my decluttering planner: https://declutteryourchaos.com/decluttering-planner Thanks for listening!

Hey Guys, In this episode, I share about how a simple $20 whiteboard transformed my life and can do the same for you. I introduce the concept of a communication system that helps families stay organized and on the same page about daily schedules. By writing down the day’s events, activities, and even chores, the whiteboard serves as a visual reminder for everyone in the household. But it can also serve as an accountability manager, a planning tool, and a mindfulness prompt. Here is a link to the whiteboard I bought but any will work! https://amzn.to/48hycyM Here's the link to join us in the decluttering challenges: https://www.facebook.com/groups/declutteryourchaos And finally, here is my website:  www.declutteryourchaos.com XO, Amber

Hi Guys, Just because we CAN take care of everything doesn't mean we SHOULD take care of everything.  We are capable of doing so much - taking care of the kids, the house, the spouse, the driving, the scheduling, the shopping, the cooking, everything - but when this becomes our life to the degree that we have no time to appreciate the small moments we know it has gotten out of hand.  It's time to step back, delegate, declutter and take care of you.  Give yourself some space.   If you'd like to join the challenge click here to join the fb group:  Facebook Group:   https://www.facebook.com/groups/declutteryourchaos Ask any question you'd like in the group or you can message me on IG.
