Organizing for Beautiful Living: Home Organizing Tips, Sustainable Organizing Tips, Decluttering Tips, and Time Management Tips for Working Moms and Busy Moms
Let's simplify organizing, shall we? Join Professional Organizer and Productivity Consultant, Zee Siman, along with her occasional co-host or guest, as she provides sustainable decluttering, home organizing and time management tips curated for you: working moms, mompreneurs and entrepreneurs.
Beautiful Living is all about creating joy-filled, organized homes and vibrant social connections, balanced with meaningful work for a fulfilling, sustainable life. As 'The Choosy Organizer', Zee shows you how to do this by being thoughtful about what actually deserves your time and energy. As she says, “I don’t want to organize all day, I just want things to BE organized. So I’m choosy about what's worth organizing, and what's just fine for now."
You don't have time to waste on solutions that won't work for you! You don't want more containers, charts or plans to manage! You want to enjoy your home and work with confidence and joy. Well, this podcast will tell you how to do that. Let's get started!
