I'm feeling insanely overwhelmed today. I have so many things on my to-do list. I printed out

a big checklist. I don't know where to start and I'm feeling exactly what I know so many of you

tell me that you're feeling when you just don't know where to start. There's too many things to do

and it's really easy in these times to just want to do nothing at all to avoid the entire situation.

Hey, Clutterbugs. Welcome back to the Clutterbug podcast. Today, I want to talk about

overcoming overwhelm, like beating it once and for all. And there are times where

maybe we don't feel overwhelmed and life is going pretty smoothly. And then there's times where

we feel like we're absolutely drowning. What can we do in those situations? That's exactly what I

want to talk about today because I feel like I feel like I'm hyperventilating stressed out right

now. So here's what's going on with me. Yesterday was our all day declutter as part of the Take Your

Houseback team. We have this Take Your Houseback course that I do with Dawn from the Minimal Mom

and Dana from Aslub's Comes Clean. And three times a year we do an all day live declutter where we

coach everyone who's part of the team live from 9 a.m till 4 p.m. Eastern. And it's insane. And I

always cry. I'm always so motivated, but I decluttered along with it. So I got rid of five trash bags.

I have two donation bags filled with clothing and a bunch of boxes to go. I didn't think I could

find more, but I did. But the act of decluttering like this, first of all, it's time consuming. So I

spent all day doing this. And second of all, even though we say it doesn't make a mess,

it kind of makes a mess in that we're not doing other things. So my husband took the kids out all

day. I was home alone with the puppy. So I wasn't doing the day-to-day stuff. And we were already really

behind on laundry. It's just been a crazy hectic week because I'm going away next week. I'm going

with Joe. We're leaving tomorrow morning to go to San Francisco for a YouTube conference.

My parents are coming to stay with me. They're going to be sleeping in my bed using my bathroom,
