Creating habits can be difficult especially if you get off track - that's when you have to recreate them, which can be even more difficult! Here is the thing, if you don't try, you will never make new habits, so try, and put perfectionism to the side.  Better to get things done then not do them at all!

A listener called me and asked me: "Because of Corona I feel restricted with shopping but I am full of worry that I won't have stuff that I like." Sounds familiar, right?  It is so tough to know when to declutter and when to "hoard" but it all comes down to the belief that what you need will be there when you need it.  I believe in letting in new blessing by letting go of the old blessing - In order to do that you have to strengthen your beliefs that there will be enough and it is ok to let go.

This week on the podcast I give you 5 tips to help you declutter when you don't live alone!  Ready?    1. It isn’t you it is me… a lot of the time you are the problem - be honest - look at yourself and see if you are really holding yourself back - don't automatically blame someone else. 2. Clean up your own space first... This is a no brainier- how can you expect your family to get organized if you yourself aren't??? 3. Get to the root of the problem -If you get stuck and feel like you can’t go on - now is a good time for some honesty - ask yourself - why are you holding on to it? 4. Respect the other people in your house - and their stuff-  Respect that people let go of things at their own pace, and respect their stuff, don’t chuck other people’s stuff.  5. Set goals and assess needs together as a family - some questions you can ask to create goals:   What will our house look and feel like when we are done? What do we draw the line at? What  do we agree we must keep?  How many of each type of object do we really need?  When you sit down together and figure out what is important to you it is a lot easier to declutter.  *BONUS* 6. Show gratitude -  for the hard work and progress that people did put it - acknowledge their struggles and remind them this is a marathon not a sprint -   Let me know how these tips work for you! If you have a topic you would like me to discuss or a question you can email me at: rebekah@rebekahsaltzman.com and follow me on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram @balaganbegone Check me out on Pintrest as Rebekah Saltzman and join the FREE Facebook group - Organizing in Israel - Balagan Be Gone (you don't have to live in Israel to join!)

019: Waste, Spices, Towels, Linen Spray

I was planning to talk about Conquer Your Clutter and a listener question about purchasing clothing on sale, but then yesterday, Ari Fuld was murdered, and talking about buying things on sale the week of Yom Kippur just didn't seem right. So, this week on the JTO podcast I talk about, tafkid - your mission in life, how even in times of mourning we need to be careful about waste, like when you tear your clothing as a sign of mourning, Jewish Eco Funerals, and I talk about how my friend, Ben Goldstein, inspired me with a pre-funeral video that showed the unity of the Jewish people. I apologize for the sniffling, but I recorded this episode about 5 times before I could even get through the fist few lines with out crying. I hope you are inspired to reach your true potential, fulfill your tafkid, and pledge to make 5779 the year you finally Conquer Your Clutter, because too much stuff distracts us and hinders our potential.G'mar Chatima Tova-May you be sealed in the book of life.

World Mental Health day is October 10th, and this week on the JTO podcast we talk about how Hoarding, since 2013, is considered a real psychological problem. If you have any mental health issue, you should seek help, now! I talk about the different levels of hoarding, how hoarder is used as a general term and what type of help to get at every level. I believe there are 4 levels of hoarders - Level 4 - Black, someone who is in danger of being trapped in their home. This is a major psychological problem, enlist the help of a trained psychiatrist!Level 3- Red, someone who is too embarrassed to have people come into their home. Level 2- Yellow, someone who may still be embarrassed to have people over but can manage most of their day to day needs. Level 1 - Green, someone who just needs a little help getting to their goals. Of course each level has gradations, but however you identify, it is important to get help. What type of help you gets depends on the level you are, but which ever level you are, PLEASE GET THE HELP YOU NEED!!!I cannot stress this enough, there is no shame in getting help, for any type of problem. None of us are perfect, and we all need help with something.If you need help and you fall into levels 1-3, get in touch for in home service, or check out the Conquer Your Clutter course, (rebekahsaltzman.com) which is DIY course, with one on one support from me, and a support group. We have videos, challenges, and live group calls. When you complete a challenge you get $30, there are 10 challenges, so if you do them all, you can earn $300 and have an organized home!Regardless of if you get in touch with me or not, if you need help, please seek it. Do not be ashamed, there is no need to be!Follow Rebekah on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram @balaganbegone Check out Rebekah on Pintrest as Rebekah Saltzman and join the FREE Facebook group - Organizing in Israel - Balagan Be Gone (you don't have to live in Israel to join!)

I believe there are 4 levels of hoarders - Level 4 - Black, someone who is in danger of being trapped in their home. This is a major psychological problem, enlist the help of a trained psychiatrist! Level 3- Red, someone who is too embarrassed to have people come into their home. Level 2- Yellow, someone who may still be embarrassed to have people over but can manage most of their day to day needs. Level 1 - Green, someone who just needs a little help getting to their goals. Of course each level has gradations, but however you identify, it is important to get help. What type of help you gets depends on the level you are, but which ever level you are, PLEASE GET THE HELP YOU NEED!!! I cannot stress this enough, there is no shame in getting help, for any type of problem. None of us are perfect, and we all need help with something. If you need help and you fall into levels 1-3, get in touch for in home service, or check out the Conquer Your Clutter course, (<a href="http://rebekahsaltzman.com" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">rebekahsaltzman.com</a>) which is DIY course, with one on one support from me, and a support group. We have videos, challenges, and live group calls. When you complete a challenge you get $30, there are 10 challenges, so if you do them all, you can earn $300 and have an organized home! Regardless of if you get in touch with me or not, if you need help, please seek it. Do not be ashamed, there is no need to be!

120: Feelings of Loss

A funny thing happened to me last week, we took out an edition from our Talmud that we haven't used in years to give to our son. He started learning with a small group and needed one of the volumes for the lessons. It spurred a conversation with my husband, who has barely used this set since we got married more than 16 years ago. Why are we keeping these? I mean they haven't been used in so long, and when my husband does learn Talmud he prefers to use a different set than the one we have, so why keep these?So many of my clients have so many books. Books they have read and books they haven't read, and while I think books are very important, as is learning, and I read about a book a week, but I hardly ever read a book more than once, so why keep what I won't read again? Why not let someone else benefit from what I already have used, and can be used again? Why be responsible for something that I won't use again?Think about it, when you have extra books on your shelf, they sit there collecting dust, and then you have to dust them (at least occasionally), and to me that doesn't seem like a great use of time. I am not saying I use all the books on my shelf all the time,  but at a minimum my standard is that it has to be used once a year. I am curious, how many books are on your shelf and how many are you actually referring to or using? What is your minimum standard, or what will you make it?Follow Rebekah on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram @balaganbegone Check out Rebekah on Pintrest as Rebekah Saltzman and join the FREE Facebook group - Organizing in Israel - Balagan Be Gone (you don't have to live in Israel to join!)
