Toy Management
Let's face it, there are few things worse, at least at the moment it happens, than walking through a dimly lit house and stepping on some toy that's been left out. So what do you do about all those toys that kids collect? This week, Joe and Anita handout some helpful ideas when it comes to your kid's toys.
Along the way they get a bit nostalgic about last week's episode on food, share an article from Unclutterer, have a conversation with Beth Engelman from Mommy on a Shoestring, and of course offer a tip of our own.
Storing Bulk Veggies
This week on the podcast, we talked about fresh food and how, through Door to Door Organics, you can have fresh fruits and veggies delivered to your door. But what do you do with that bulk order when it arrives? How do you not lose that great produce in the back of the crisper? This week, Anita shares her tip to not only keep food from being forgotten, but also to make prep easier the rest of the week.
Organizing Time

This week is all about time on the Glocal Family Podcast. The truth is, unless we decide what matters and allow those things to shape our day, somebody or something else will control our agenda. Therefore, it's important for us to be intentional, not only in figuring out what matters most, but when we're at our best, and how to build our lives around those two things. Of course, we're going to need some help to get there, so we called on Julie Morgenstern, the “queen of putting people’s lives in order”, to help us get the job done.
Time Map Development
This week, Joe tries to take all of the different things we talked about on the podcast and put them together concerning his own life and schedule.

Have you ever noticed how a little bit of clutter can turn into something seemingly unmanageable? Things get lost, stress builds, and life just generally gets frustrating. Of course, at the other end of the spectrum you have that hyper-neat environment that's almost sterile ... talk about a creativity killer. So, how do we find balance, keeping things organized, but not killing ourselves in the process. This week we talk with Brandi Kajino, discuss and article from Zen Habits, and hear from Anita on organizing her office at work.
