Episode notes
Block A Low Frequency Project Night
- Do schedule a recurring, infrequent project time to tackle low-priority household tasks instead of trying to do them constantly.
- Kendra suggests a monthly or quarterly 'project night' with simplified logistics so you can make meaningful progress without overwhelm.
Contain Or Hide The Laundry Bench Mess
- Do use containment or invisibility to reduce visual clutter from clothes on bedroom furniture.
- Kendra suggests baskets for piles and hanging or draping a few items on a chair, then only hanging things up on days the mess actually bothers you.
Reframe Celebrations Without Erasing Food
- Do adapt celebrations gradually and include non-food elements while still allowing others to enjoy food.
- Kendra recommends starting with one event, experimenting with alternatives, and using small swaps like cake milkshakes so your husband can still participate.
