    2024/09/02

    Welcome to another episode of "Cultivate Contentment," where we explore the art of simplifying life and reducing mental load. In this episode, we chat with Bridget Johns, founder of Be Simply Free, who helps women declutter their homes and minds.

    Bridget Johns (no, not Bridget JONES!) is a Life Simplifier & Time Optimiser. She founded Be Simply Free, an online declutter coaching and life organisation business in March 2020 jus tbefore life was flipped upside down. Her mission is to empower women to live a life where their homes and minds are decluttered so they can be simply free. She WAS a busy, stressed, overcommitted perfectionist who found that by minimising the stuff in her home and mind she could live a much happier, joyful and meaningful life.

    Throughout our chat, Bridget offers a wealth of practical tips on how to reduce mental load and effectively involve family members in household tasks. One of the key strategies she discusses is her "1% theory," which advocates for making small, manageable changes that cumulatively lead to significant improvements in decluttering and organization. This approach makes the daunting task of decluttering feel more achievable and less overwhelming.

    Tune in to this episode for a dose of practical advice, a good laugh, and a fresh perspective on how simplifying life can lead to greater joy and fulfillment.

    009: Keeping it Together- Planning for a Smoother Busy Season
    2024/08/26
    Episode Description: Welcome back to another episode of Cultivate Contentment! It’s been quite the week here on the farm. I’ve tried recording this episode multiple times, but between sick kids, farm noise, and a thunderstorm, it’s been a challenge. Fourth time lucky, though—let’s get this done! In this episode, I’m diving into the chaos that comes with the busy seasons on the farm. Whether it’s calving, haymaking, or silage, these times can feel overwhelming, especially when things don’t go as planned. I’m sharing some of my tried and true tips for getting through these hectic periods, as well as a few new ideas you might not have thought of. From meal prepping to creating a daily checklist, we’ll cover practical strategies to help keep things running smoothly while sprinkling a little joy into the everyday chaos. In this episode about Keeping it Together- Planning for a Smoother Busy Season, we cover: Dealing with the Unexpected: This calving season caught me off guard, and I wasn’t as prepared as I should have been. We’ve had a lot of toast, cereal, and takeaway meals, and I deeply regret not prepping more. The unpredictability of farm life can be overwhelming, but there are ways to make it more manageable. Meal Prepping: The number one thing that gets me during the busy season is food. Kids get hungry, and if I don’t have meals ready, everything turns to chaos. Pre-plan and freeze meals on quieter days. Focus on easy, family-favorite recipes like spaghetti, tacos, and burgers. My main advice: Your future self will thank you for the prep work you do now. Trust me! Grab-and-Go Snacks: Keep your pantry stocked with easy snacks for the kids, like muffins, scones, and chocolate cake. When everyone was sick, we ran out of snacks, and I had to go shopping when I felt like death—don’t be me! Home-baked goodies are always a hit, and having them ready in the freezer can be a lifesaver. Streamlining Farm and Home Tasks: Daily checklists have been a game changer for me. I’m a checklist girl, and having a simple list of tasks helps me stay focused and ensures nothing falls through the cracks. Simplify your cleaning routine during busy times. Focus on tidiness rather than perfection—now is not the time for deep cleaning or decluttering. Pre-Packing for Busy Days: When my husband is out making silage or hay, I assemble a busy bag with everything he might need for the day. It saves time and prevents those “Can you bring me coffee?” calls. Set up a command center in your home for keys, phone chargers, school bags—anything you’re constantly searching for. It’s all about keeping things organized and easy to find. Routine Maintenance Checks: Before the busy season hits, do maintenance checks on all farm equipment. Make sure everything is in working order to avoid breakdowns during critical times. We’ve learned the hard way that rushing through these checks can lead to bigger problems down the road.
