The Routine Advantage | Simple Habits, Routines and Systems to Get Your Life Organized, Build Consistency and Reduce Overwhelm
- RANKED A TOP 2.5% PODCAST GLOBALLY- Are you going to bed at night thinking about your never-ending to-do list and already stressing about tomorrow? Waking up exhausted and relying on coffee to get through your day? Are you making multiple trips to the store each week, stressing about what to make for dinner each night, spending too much money on groceries and take out, and feeling frazzled about paying bills on time? I'm Renae Matt and I've been where you are! I work full-time, I'm growing my own business, and I still want to spend quality date nights with my husband. Over the years I got so tired of the housework, the bills, and the never-ending list of things to do. I was trying to keep track of it all. It was overwhelming and I felt like I had no time left to ENJOY life. Over time, I began to build simple routines to get organized. I set up the framework to have a foundation of routines that I can fall back on even when everything else feels like it's falling apart. On this podcast, I share what I have learned so YOU can also build these five foundational routines that can transform your life, too! • A MORNING ROUTINE to take care of YOU first so you can begin each day feeling fulfilled and show up better for those around you. • A MEAL PLANNING ROUTINE to reduce the frustration and simplify dinner time. • A "DAILY 7" HOME ROUTINE to keep a tidy home without wasting weekends cleaning and catching up on laundry. • A MOVEMENT ROUTINE so you can feel rejuvenated and get your energy back! • AN EASY BUDGET ROUTINE to create a plan for your money and help you get out of debt, get rid of money stress, and save for your dreams. Our lives are busy, but they don't have to be overwhelming. When we can get these five foundational routines in place, you will have a system set up to help reduce the stress and give you your time back! I'm here to help you build these simple routines so that they can change your life, too. You might think this isn't the right time because you are too busy to change something, but friend… when you feel TOO BUSY to prioritize your LIFE...that is when you know something NEEDS to change. We can't get lost time back and God didn't create us to live our lives checking off boxes and drowning in errands. So let's TAKE BACK YOUR TIME. Instead of spending your evenings stressed about all the tasks you didn't get to, you will be able to spend those nights having fun with your family. Go for an evening walk, do a game night, find a hobby, or have a date night with your hubby. When you get your life organized, you get your life back.

Sometimes we get in the habit of buying things because we see an ad, or because we are walking down the aisle at the store and it catches our eye - not because we actually need it. These are considered “impulse purchases” and this sneaky habit can cause us to spend more money and can quickly clutter up our homes. So today we are going to go through five questions you can use next time you are looking at buying something that wasn’t...

We had a comment come up during the recent declutter challenge and I wanted to address it on the podcast. The challenge was to sort through your mail pile or the stack of papers that was piling up your desk. Someone commented that this task scared her because she knew it was going to take so much time to digest what each item was and then to take action on it. So if you are dealing with a daunting stack of mail or papers, I want to...

When we organize our homes, the goal is for it to feel good and make life easier — but that’s not always what happens. Sometimes we end up over-organizing, creating systems that are more stressful to maintain than helpful. In this episode, we’re talking about how to find the right balance so your home will support you rather than overwhelm you.
