| 0:00.0 | What does it mean to live more with less? I'm Katie Wells and welcome to the Maximized Minimalist |
| 0:07.7 | podcast. If you found yourself caught up in the hamster wheel of modern day motherhood and want to |
| 0:14.1 | rewrite the script, congratulations you're in the right place. I'm here to be your guide and help you take |
| 0:20.6 | back your motherhood |
| 0:21.6 | and achieve a simpler, more joy-filled life. Cheers to being a maximized minimalist. Enjoy the show. |
| 0:29.3 | You've decluttered and hopefully you're feeling pretty good about it. You go, girl. So now it's |
| 0:33.6 | time to learn some quick habits to stop clutter in its tracks and prevent the expected |
| 0:39.4 | mess that happens from everyday life from piling up and getting too overwhelming. |
| 0:43.8 | This is especially important and helpful as a lot of us head into the warmer summer months. |

| 1:17.9 | spot to put it, you don't do anything with it. You procrastinate and you're like, oh, I don't have |
| 1:22.6 | time to declutter right now. Right. We kind of build this up like I have to do 10, 20, 30, 40, 60 minutes or an |
| 1:28.5 | entire weekend. You don't need to do that. If you have a dedicated donation bin, it makes it so |
| 1:33.7 | much easier to let stuff go. One thing a day, two things at a time, 10 things a week. It all adds up. |
| 1:41.1 | So the caveat with the dedicated donation bin is that it has to be in an accessible, |
| 1:46.8 | visible area. I keep mine in my garage. So every time I get in my car, I see it. It's a gentle |
| 1:52.5 | reminder and nudge, hey, Katie, do we need to declutter? Or we haven't decluttered in a few weeks. |
| 1:57.3 | Maybe we should do a real quick sweep around the house. You can also add one to your |
