532: Decluttering When You Don’t Know Where to Start
Part 1
Do you find yourself feeling overwhelmed by the clutter, not knowing where to start? Kathi and Roger have both been there. Through experience and lots of decluttering, they have learned what works to launch us back into a productive space when we are feeling this way. Join in the conversation to learn a system that can help when you are feeling chaotic and like you need to get your space back into order. Many times we get hung up on making decisions about what to do next, and this system gives us a routine that can help us make decisions and move on including:
- Find the trash
- Fill the containers
- Feed the machines

How to Quiet the Chaos and Restore Your Sanity
“I Don’t Even Know Where to Start!”
Feeling overwhelmed?
Wondering if it’s possible to move from “out of my mind” to “in control” when you’ve got too many projects on your plate and too much mess in your relationships?
Kathi and Cheri want to show you five surprising reasons why you become stressed, why social media solutions don’t often work, and how you can finally create a plan that works for you. As you identify your underlying hurts, uncover hope, and embrace practical healing, you’ll understand how to…
• Trade the to-do list that controls you for a calendar that allows space in
your life
• Decide whose feedback to forget and whose input to invite
• Replace fear of the future with peace in the present
You can simplify and savor your life — guilt free! Clutter, tasks, and relationships may overwhelm you now, but God can help you overcome with grace.
