Thanks for these, Gretchen! Can you please also do some Book Club recommendations, including from among the classics? Not all great books lend themselves to group discussion. Thanks again! 🌻

I just fininshed reading your book better thank before.I really liked it.

Talcum powder (baby powder) is loaded with asbestos, so please don’t use it on anyone.

In the episode you mention another one about kids holding on their childhood, but can't find it in the show notes. Can you please add? The AI helpline or a search across your episodes could not help. thanks

Love the Three Style Adjectives hack! I’m making the rule for myself to have this in place before I make a future clothing purchase…hopefully to avoid the REGRET I often experience following.😊

Great podcast as usual!: Reminding of ways/ methods to be done with bad feelings... And ways to look at life's passages+ Using the Write 24 in 24 for other projects like photo albums.✌️

Something tells me Gretchen's had more experiences with Questioners than she ever wanted. Lol but with love

Who came here to learn how to set up a reward system for your habits and heard all the many different ways that a reward system is bad 🫤

All Te and Ti doms.

ISTJs and ISFJ.

So, that group is about ESFJ, ENFJ, ISFJ and INFJ. Fe users at first and second position. And She is a obvious ISTJ. Si a lot, organization, details, sequential thinking, concrete information a lot, she avoid a lot to jump to conclusion without go to the whole process in a very sequential way. She almost don't make a question. Very weak Ne.

why read a physical book when i can have a little British voice real me fairy tales as i fall asleep

This can't be said enough. It is time for the era of other people gatekeeping different styles of enjoying books to end.

It counts, but it's a very different experience. I love being able to get through so many more books because of audiobooks! 😊

If you are going to be bike riding on public roads, please, PLEASE wear something visible. A plain white tee shirt will show up. A gray or dark blue or black will not.

I listened to the audiobook bc I wanted to learn how to help my husband to be motivated to work on his projects. He can be stubborn so I thought he was probably a Rebel, and as I was listening to the first chapter I thought, “I’m probably an Obliger”. LOL, WRONG! He’s a 100% Obliger, always working on other people’s projects, often for free, never can get himself to work on things he wants to do. And I AM THE REBEL. I thought I was sweet and easy to work with, but it turns out… lol. I’ve discussed it with others and nearly all of the Rebels in this particular group assumed they were people pleasing Obligers and they turned out to be Rebel. LOL, we really don’t see ourselves and rule breakers and bucking the system, but here we are. Maybe Rebels present differently in women? IDK. But now I need to figure out how to make this work with me being a homeschool mom. I haven’t been doing it like a normal person and I definitely don’t want them behind, so I need to figure it out.

"I felt obliged to say yes" Love it... that was the best part 😄😄

I used to think that i'm an obliger because i cant commit to meet my inner expectation... but turns out it was because i cant see why i need to take care of myself, why i should do things for myself. In my journey to heal and build my "self" ❤

Currently reading Life in Five Senses. Love your work!

As an obliger, it's tough to accept that I might need external accountability. It's really frustrating feeling like I can't just rely on myself. Does anyone else feel this way?

I follow this with a two minute limit. It really works for me.

This is a message within a message-interesting, very interesting

The one touch rule works so well for me. I put everything in it's place the first time. It took a lot of practice, believe me. I made it a habit.

I can't say that I REALLY know my style. But I did try to figure it out before and it started by noting down any item I felt confident wearing. Once I had a long enough list, it was easy to find out the patterns.

We called it putting stuff away instead of setting stuff down.

Five power kids

Those knocking this - read Getting Things Done by Edwin C Bliss. It pre-dates computers at work but very simple to follow. A few years after reading the book I got comments at a new office I joined like “you obviously don’t have enough work to do as your desk is always empty.” I would say, “No it is tidy. I get more work done as I don’t lose half an hour a day trying to find things.”

Brilliant idea. I can do one minute

"That scum of clutter" 😂

😂 I like clutter. 😊

They are considered friends but if you have had deep friendships in school or college, it is rather difficult to call these as "friends".Would you hang in each other's homes or go on vacations together or sleep over in their homes? How many layers or levels of friendships are there? and What level are we looking for?

FKkkk!!! I love Julie's Legs 😍😍😍🥵🥵😩

I'm in love with your overbite. It is absolutely adorable 😍. Please never change your teeth! You have the cutest mouth I've ever seen!

That’s right

She’s right. Thinking you “need” to “get organized” is overwhelming to too many people. Just change the thinking to as she suggests and just start doing it in little steps. As others have pointed out, your local vets, animal rescues, animal shelters can use blankets and old linens (towels particularly). Your local domestic shelters can use kitchen items, good bedding, toys, games, for families having to set up who took nothing with them when they fled, veterans charities can often use furniture donations. Before you toss anything not outright trash think who in your community can benefit from reusing what you don’t need or have space for anymore (many times they can even pick it up). Then your clutter-free space makes you feel better and you can also feel good your extra things are still usefully helping others.

Or “ I can’t be bothered to think , so think for me hubby… and then when you answer I will tell you what I actually want and we will probably end up having that lols “ .. this isn’t a fun game for men to play.

Donate clean blankets and towels too animal shelters or rescues.bikes, scooters offer for free, or someone who repairs and donates in your area. Church thrift stores for donations, nursing homes for certain clothes.

I wish I didn't have so much stuff so I wouldn't have to get organized I'm trying to purge now and donate all my stuff to a animal rescue animal shelter an animal thrift. I don't need anything anymore. 😊

Wow, stopped at 1;20 - it’s just adds!

BS

I was listening but it took her two minutes to explain and I lost interest.

But there are three 1min tasks going on at the same time and they are all equally important and then you get distracted by a fourth task.😮

Im with her on the nap. I get to work early and then take a nap before i start. I wake up refreshed and ready to go.

Their lips keep moving but all I hear is bok bok bok

About reading a book that explains something: Rose George has written best-selling books on blood, human waste, and shipping.

Cool

Great tips ! I've heard that in order to earn more promotions/money the focus should be to create more Value than others at workplace so could you elaborate on this subject how can it be done effectively without overworking or burnout necessarily as there has to be some smart way to get the desired outcome.. 2) Why is it necessary always to depend upon years of experience to achieve financial growth ? 3) Any book recommendations on this topic according to your wisdom..

Use to i still do

In Australia they put the Hanz staff in the jams section 😂

You’re not alone. I don’t think it’s driving. I think it’s that all of the sudden we have no control and are committed to a time and place when we may not feel like it once the event comes along.
