Summary

As a busy mom and business owner, I am a big advocate for decluttering and simplifying your home. Keeping a minimal home has given me so much time and peace back. But once you have decluttered, what does it look like to maintain a sense of order in your home every day? Is it even possible with young children? Lisa of The Habits & Home Show helps women create long-term systems and habits to keep their homes running smoothly after decluttering. In our conversation, we dive into the idea of following the natural flow of your home, why you might want to do away with checklists, and the problem with chasing perfection. If you are a homemaker or mother who feels overwhelmed by a full plate, join us for this impactful discussion!

In this episode, we cover:

The tragedy that led Lisa to begin her minimalism journey
Why you don’t need charts and checklists to get things done
Recognizing the natural flow in your home and creating habits to support it
The steps you need to take in your home so that it can be reset quickly everyday
What are the signs that your home has become too much to manage?
Discerning when you need to let things go to create more margin in your life
A step-by-step process for pursuing a new project in the midst of a full life
How perfectionism can derail your forward momentum and what to do instead

0:00.0	I was like, yeah, I can do this. I can live minimal. And that was really exciting. Then I realized
0:05.4	it really doesn't matter how little you have. There is still an opportunity for chaos. There's still
0:13.4	an opportunity for mess. And so it was that year and a half that we lived in our camper that I learned habits. Minimalism and habits can go
0:23.8	together to create a lifestyle that is easier to manage. My name is Lisa, mother of eight, and creator of the
0:31.7	blog and YouTube channel Farmhouse on Boone. Join me as I share with you my love for creating a

0:47.5	Welcome back to the Simple Farmhouse Life podcast. Today I'm having on Lisa Lizotte from
0:53.1	Habits and Home podcast and website. She helps
0:57.4	Christian ADHD moms with decluttering and setting up home management systems. Even if you

1:29.9	episode. It's a little crazy. We went on a trip. I know this is airing in August just before back
1:35.0	to school time, which is great, whether you homeschool or not, because you can help to get your
1:38.5	home managed and simplified before that busy season. But this was filmed in July. So we just got home from a trip to the
1:47.3	West Coast. We were on Pacific Standard Time. We are central standard time. And for whatever reason,
1:53.8	coming home that way, so going west is really easy. We transitioned into that time zone the first
1:59.6	day. And then coming back, it's next
