Get It Together with Cas: The Tough Love Edition | Clutterbug Podcast # 262

Buckle up, Buttercup, because today we’re talking tough love and small steps to BIG changes and create instant motivation. We’re going to tackle how to get your life together without feeling like you’re climbing Mount Everest - I’m sharing my favourite shortcuts and hacks that have seriously changed my life. Sound good? Let’s dive right in!
Give Yourself a Reality Check - “NO ONE IS COMING TO RESCUE YOU”. We have the home, (body, relationship, finances etc) that we are willing to put up with. Don’t like where you are right now? Change it. Only you have the empower, so put on that cape and save your own damn self.  
Break Big Goals into 5-Minute Goals - Micro Commitments are the secret. Train your brain to stop the “all or nothing” mentality by focusing on tiny 5-minute tasks. 
Daily Brain Dump - Every morning write down all the things you want to get done and then circle the top three. Out of those top three, star the ONE that is NON-NEGOTIABLE and must get done that day.
Try Hypnosis! I’m using an app called Kure and it’s been helpful! Change your brain just by listening.
Create a Vision Board - Pick a few goals and dreams (make sure they are in the realm of possibility) and create a daily visual reminder! I have a FREE vision board template here: https://clutterbug.me/products/digital-vision-board-templates
Get an Accountability Buddy! Schedule a weekly date through Zoom, a phone call or an in-person meeting and body double with someone while you get stuff done together! 
Get in a Win before 10:00am - Do a small thing that feels like an accomplishment before 10:00 am - Examples: Make your bed, write a to-do list, stretch for 10 minutes.
Habit Stacking - Do a new tiny habit at the same time as you do an old habit - Example: Write a daily to-do list while your morning coffee brews or take your vitamins when you brush your teeth.
Make a Power Playlist - Make a playlist with all the songs that fire you up!
Borrow Motivation - Watch and listen to FIRED UP people and borrow some of their passion and fierce motivation. Here is a good one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f4KsEUiw3gA
Nightly Gratitude Journal - I know…don’t roll your eyes, just try it.

Feeling Meh? Try This to Get Excited About Life Again | Clutterbug Podcast # 261

Ever catch yourself feeling “meh” about the future—like you just can’t see past tomorrow? It might be something called “horizonlessness,” and we’re diving in headfirst! In this episode, I’m sharing insights from a fascinating chat between Mel Robbins and Dr. Aditi Nehrukar that will have you going, “Aha… so that’s why!” Discover how the pandemic rewired our brains to focus on immediate survival instead of tomorrow’s dreams, and why it’s completely normal to feel stuck.
But don’t worry—we’re not staying stuck. We’ll talk about tiny, doable steps to get your zest back, from embracing small daily victories (hello, clean kitchen sink!) to sneakily scheduling in those guilt-free moments of “me time.” If you’ve been searching for a spark to reignite your excitement about what’s on the horizon, this episode is your matchstick. So press play, grab a trash bag (or a notepad), and let’s reclaim that forward-thinking fire together!
