171: The Benefits of an Organized Home on Your Life and Business with Maria Baer
Moving can be a nightmare!
You have to put your house on the market, find a new house to move into (or, in my case, wait for yours to finish being built), and juggle with where you’ll stay in the interim if necessary. In the meantime, you’re packing and unpacking, hemming and hawing over what to keep and what to throw out or donate, and so on. Oh, and you’re still trying to run the rest of your life and business, too!
But you don’t have to take it all on by yourself. You can even hire experts like Maria Baer to help you with unpacking, decluttering, and organizing everything! She owns the Indianapolis-based home organizing company The Baer Minimalist and really helped make the transition of moving into our new house easier. She also knows the value of having help--the personal support she provides for clients domestically she had to get for herself in her business.
In this episode of Time to Level Up, you’ll learn about the benefits of having an organized home and its effect on other areas of your life. You’ll also hear about the perks of giving up control and decision-making power when necessary and how hiring out support helps Maria with work-life integration as a mom of two five-year-old boys.
