Hi Friends,

Summer is here, and if you’re anything like me, you might already be feeling the chaos creeping in. Today I’m joined by my friend Lisa Eckerle, a professional organizer and mom. We dive into the real juggle of managing kids, camps, work, and everything else that comes with this season. 

We talk about planning summer schedules (yes, even if you’re behind like I am), sharing chores with the kids, and setting up routines that actually stick. Lisa also shares some of her favorite tips for beating decision fatigue and introduces her handy CRAP method to help you tackle clutter without overwhelm.

We discuss:

  • How to avoid last minute summer stress by planning ahead
  • The truth about decision fatigue and practical ways to deal with it.
  • Why it’s so important to share the load at home and how to start those conversations
  • How to handle the emotional side of clutter

Lisa also opens up about how she balances being a business owner and a mom, and the honest truth that it’s messy but manageable.

Why I think you’ll love this episode:

Because summer doesn’t have to feel like total chaos. Whether you’re a planner or just trying to survive until school starts again, Lisa and I share real doable tips that can help you breathe a little easier this season.

Hot Takes:

  • It’s never too late to start planning, even if summer’s already underway
  • Teamwork at home isn’t about guilt, it’s about support
  • Lisa’s CRAP method is a great tool when clutter feels overwhelming
  • You don’t have to pack every minute of the summer to make it meaningful
  • You’re doing better than you think and you’re definitely not alone.

HAPPY ORGANIZING

-Laurie
