Kathi Lipp is back with good friend and Enneagram expert, Lori Young for part 2 of this series: “How Knowing Your Personality Type Can Help You Declutter.” Have you ever heard someone talk about a clutter strategy that has been helpful for them and thought, “there is no way that would work for my personality?” You may be right! Different personality types have different challenges and solutions. Knowing your Enneagram number can help you identify your clutter roadblocks as well as provide insight for getting past them. This week, Kathi and Lori are talking specifically about the heart triad:

• Type 2: The Helper
• Type 3: The Achiever
• Type 4: The Inspirer

If you missed part one of the series, be sure to go back and catch up here, and don’t miss next week’s episode when Kathi and Lori will wrap up the series with information about the head triad.

Overwhelmed: How to Quiet the Chaos and Restore Your Sanity

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 become equipped 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.

Kathi and Cheri Gregory, co-author of Overwhelmed, get together for this episode for a little discussion regarding the concepts of being overwhelmed and being clutter-free. So often we find that our clutter overwhelms us and that being overwhelmed contributes to our clutter. It can be a vicious cycle.

Kathi and Cheri discuss five steps to keep from getting overwhelmed as you declutter your home, your heart, and your life. Order your copy of Overwhelmed here.

Kathi and Roger Lipp are here, up before the sun, with some real talk about whether or not you need a junk removal service. Have you ever thought your clutter problems would all be solved if you could just point at the clutter and someone would take it away? That’s a great solution in some situations, but most of the time, removing the clutter is not the real problem – it’s making decisions about the clutter. Kathi and Roger have some great tips for getting through the clutter including:

• Give yourself a hard deadline – Designate a junk/recycling/charity dropoff day
• Double up your errands – If you know you’re going out tomorrow, load up your car with items to donate today
• “Body-Doubling” – Have someone sit with you, even if it’s just on the phone, as you declutter. If no one is available, join us every Wednesday at 11:00am (PT) in the Clutter Free Academy FaceBook group for a 15 min declutter. We’d love to be your body double!
