Living a quiet life
This episode, Scottie and I talk about how gratitude helps us and how grateful we are. I’ve been reading Dr Kerry Howells’ book Untangling You and I talk a little about that. I also mention the podcast Not Your Average Runner; however, that one comes with a language warning.
Thank you so much for listening through the year!
This week I didn’t talk with Scottie, unfortunately. But I am able to talk with you. I discuss my other tips for storage. My top two tips can be found here.
I also mention my organisational heroes: Sandra Felton, Dana K White and Mari Kondo.
I wanted to talk to Scottie this week about my number one tip for storage in the house, but he brought up the big scary subject of decluttering. So this episode we’re exploring some different decluttering methods. Next time I’ll be giving some storage tips.

Designer, poet, and artist William Morris: “If you want a golden rule that will fit everything, this is it: Have nothing in your houses that you do not know to be useful or believe to be beautiful.”
Today Scottie and I talk about preparing for Christmas. We discuss the ways that I and my family have made our Christmases less stressful and more fun and we also talk about how sensitive we need to be when we’re trying to make changes to a festival that is so full of family tradition and expectations.
Remember, change is slow. Take it slowly. The time to prepare is now.
This week, Scottie and I talk about failure. About how important it is to be prepared to do a less-than-perfect job and to learn as we go.

Here is the other blog: The Foolishness of Fail Fast Fail Often.
Today Scottie and I talk about those times where the life hacks aren’t going to help much. Today’s podcast is for people with chronic illness, or people who are wading through those tough years with small children, or those who are having to slow down due to age. Or, yes, even those who are struggling with a short-term super-busy period. It’s a tough time, and I have a message for you.
