<v Speaker 1>Welcome to Before Breakfast, a production of iHeartRadio. Good Morning,

0:00:10.080 --> 0:00:15.080
<v Speaker 1>This is Laura. Welcome to the Before Breakfast podcast. Today's

0:00:15.120 --> 0:00:17.400
<v Speaker 1>episode is going to be a longer one part of

0:00:17.400 --> 0:00:20.200
<v Speaker 1>the series where I interview fascinating people about how they

0:00:20.239 --> 0:00:23.079
<v Speaker 1>take their days from great to awesome and any advice

0:00:23.120 --> 0:00:25.840
<v Speaker 1>they have for the rest of us. So today I

0:00:25.880 --> 0:00:28.880
<v Speaker 1>am delighted to welcome Chelsea Joe to the show. Chelsea

0:00:29.000 --> 0:00:32.120
<v Speaker 1>is the host of the Systemaize Your Life podcast. So, Chelsea,

0:00:32.320 --> 0:00:33.600
<v Speaker 1>welcome to Before Breakfast.

0:00:34.360 --> 0:00:36.480
<v Speaker 2>Thanks for having me. It's going to be a great

0:00:36.479 --> 0:00:38.479
<v Speaker 2>conversation absolutely.

0:00:38.520 --> 0:00:40.080
<v Speaker 1>So why don't you tell our listeners a little bit

0:00:40.080 --> 0:00:40.800
<v Speaker 1>about yourself?

0:00:41.520 --> 0:00:44.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I'm a wife and a mom. I've got two

0:00:44.960 --> 0:00:48.560
<v Speaker 2>girls that are thirteen and about well just actually eight.

0:00:48.640 --> 0:00:52.760
<v Speaker 3>It's a birthday today, so happy birthday. Yeah.

0:00:52.840 --> 0:00:55.319
<v Speaker 2>I am the CEO of Chelsea Joe dot Co. I've

0:00:55.320 --> 0:00:58.440
<v Speaker 2>been running this company for the past six years. I

0:00:58.520 --> 0:01:03.360
<v Speaker 2>retired myself out of my profession, which was I was

0:01:03.400 --> 0:01:05.680
<v Speaker 2>a side language interpreter for many years and I also

0:01:05.800 --> 0:01:09.440
<v Speaker 2>ran an event based business for quite some time with

0:01:09.480 --> 0:01:11.880
<v Speaker 2>my mom, and so this is my full time work now.

0:01:12.760 --> 0:01:16.080
<v Speaker 2>My husband was a firefighter for many years and so

0:01:16.080 --> 0:01:21.039
<v Speaker 2>we juggled a really crazy, hectic schedule and we now

0:01:21.120 --> 0:01:23.560
<v Speaker 2>are using systems on a regular basis for me to

0:01:23.640 --> 0:01:26.800
<v Speaker 2>be able to juggle all of the demands that we

0:01:26.920 --> 0:01:28.280
<v Speaker 2>have on a regular basis.

0:01:28.800 --> 0:01:32.199
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, well, what got you interested in the productivity world?

0:01:32.319 --> 0:01:34.840
<v Speaker 1>I mean, was this always something that you were interested

0:01:34.880 --> 0:01:37.920
<v Speaker 1>in then just decided to transition into it or anything?

0:01:38.040 --> 0:01:38.760
<v Speaker 3>What happened?

0:01:40.120 --> 0:01:43.720
<v Speaker 2>I mean, essentially, I was when I first got married.

0:01:43.880 --> 0:01:46.120
<v Speaker 2>I had a two year old daughter that I brought

0:01:46.120 --> 0:01:49.840
<v Speaker 2>with me to that marriage, and so we had a family. Immediately,

0:01:50.520 --> 0:01:54.080
<v Speaker 2>my husband was trying to get on with a better

0:01:54.080 --> 0:01:56.200
<v Speaker 2>fire department than the one he was in. He went

0:01:56.200 --> 0:01:59.200
<v Speaker 2>through a couple of fire academies. I was running that

0:01:59.240 --> 0:02:02.320
<v Speaker 2>event base business this, and doing sign language. And then

0:02:02.400 --> 0:02:08.040
<v Speaker 2>we had another baby while I was interpreting, and I

0:02:08.080 --> 0:02:09.679
<v Speaker 2>was doing that for about twenty hours a week, and

0:02:09.680 --> 0:02:12.200
<v Speaker 2>then we had another baby, and things just got really chaotic,

0:02:12.360 --> 0:02:14.280
<v Speaker 2>and so I just knew that I didn't want to

0:02:14.280 --> 0:02:17.680
<v Speaker 2>live that way, and I knew by looking around that

0:02:17.720 --> 0:02:21.560
<v Speaker 2>other people were accomplishing a lot of things, and so

0:02:21.919 --> 0:02:26.160
<v Speaker 2>I essentially gravitate towards doing things the way that other

0:02:26.200 --> 0:02:28.440
<v Speaker 2>people are doing them, that are doing the things that

0:02:28.480 --> 0:02:32.000
<v Speaker 2>I want to be doing, and so it's just more

0:02:32.080 --> 0:02:35.519
<v Speaker 2>so I think the way that I wanted to live,

0:02:35.560 --> 0:02:38.480
<v Speaker 2>and so I started testing things, found something that really worked,

0:02:38.560 --> 0:02:42.000
<v Speaker 2>started sharing with my friends, started a blog, started a podcast,

0:02:42.280 --> 0:02:44.000
<v Speaker 2>and the rest as you do.

0:02:44.919 --> 0:02:47.640
<v Speaker 1>As you do. Yeah, because both of you were working

0:02:47.639 --> 0:02:50.480
<v Speaker 1>then and jobs that are not really known for being

0:02:50.600 --> 0:02:53.160
<v Speaker 1>nine to five sort of jobs, right, I mean between

0:02:53.840 --> 0:02:56.600
<v Speaker 1>the you know, firefighting and event planning. I mean, things

0:02:56.639 --> 0:02:59.800
<v Speaker 1>are happening at all different times, right, it seems like

0:03:00.160 --> 0:03:02.720
<v Speaker 1>that might be challenging to build systems into there.

0:03:03.160 --> 0:03:05.360
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, And that was really I think that's the one

0:03:05.880 --> 0:03:08.119
<v Speaker 2>kickback that I get from everybody is, oh, my life

0:03:08.200 --> 0:03:10.440
<v Speaker 2>is too chaotic to have a system like I can't

0:03:10.480 --> 0:03:12.280
<v Speaker 2>do the same thing every day. And that is literally

0:03:12.280 --> 0:03:15.120
<v Speaker 2>why I built them in order to be able to

0:03:15.200 --> 0:03:19.000
<v Speaker 2>still be highly productive and not have that chaos during

0:03:20.080 --> 0:03:24.280
<v Speaker 2>all of the highs and lows. Because for sign language interpreting,

0:03:24.320 --> 0:03:26.440
<v Speaker 2>I was an independent contractor, so I would just wait

0:03:26.760 --> 0:03:31.359
<v Speaker 2>anytime we got an email, anybody that was licensed and

0:03:31.600 --> 0:03:33.880
<v Speaker 2>felt qualified could pick up the job. So like at

0:03:33.919 --> 0:03:35.680
<v Speaker 2>any moment I would have to say yes, I could

0:03:35.680 --> 0:03:38.640
<v Speaker 2>do that gig, and then I'm scrambling for sitters and okay,

0:03:38.640 --> 0:03:40.920
<v Speaker 2>what's for dinner, and my husband not to take over,

0:03:41.000 --> 0:03:43.000
<v Speaker 2>but if he wasn't available because he was at the

0:03:43.000 --> 0:03:46.160
<v Speaker 2>fire department, then we'd have to hand over to the sitters.

0:03:46.160 --> 0:03:48.840
<v Speaker 2>Like it was just so many pieces. And then obviously

0:03:48.840 --> 0:03:51.920
<v Speaker 2>for him he would works. He's had a lot of

0:03:51.920 --> 0:03:53.720
<v Speaker 2>crazy schedules, but the one that we lived with the

0:03:53.760 --> 0:03:56.000
<v Speaker 2>most was he would work two days, then off four

0:03:56.200 --> 0:03:58.480
<v Speaker 2>and then work two days and then off four, which

0:03:58.520 --> 0:04:00.280
<v Speaker 2>is only six out of seven days. So there was

0:04:00.320 --> 0:04:03.360
<v Speaker 2>always a rotation, so like he would work Saturday Sunday,

0:04:03.520 --> 0:04:05.920
<v Speaker 2>then Friday, Saturday, then Thursday Friday, and it just kept

0:04:05.960 --> 0:04:08.600
<v Speaker 2>going around the week like that. So I could never

0:04:09.160 --> 0:04:13.880
<v Speaker 2>have consistent babysitters, or there's no consistency. And that's why

0:04:13.960 --> 0:04:18.559
<v Speaker 2>I created these systems, because any given day I could

0:04:18.640 --> 0:04:21.520
<v Speaker 2>actually have a rhythm based on the things that I

0:04:21.600 --> 0:04:23.960
<v Speaker 2>knew needed to be in a certain order in order

0:04:24.000 --> 0:04:24.640
<v Speaker 2>for us to.

0:04:26.080 --> 0:04:28.960
<v Speaker 3>Get to school on time. And you know, then we

0:04:29.040 --> 0:04:31.080
<v Speaker 3>homeschooled for one of.

0:04:31.000 --> 0:04:32.880
<v Speaker 2>The kids still is and there's just a lot of

0:04:32.920 --> 0:04:37.440
<v Speaker 2>moving pieces in all of that, and the systems allowed

0:04:37.480 --> 0:04:41.760
<v Speaker 2>me to not be overwhelmed and not run around like

0:04:42.400 --> 0:04:44.720
<v Speaker 2>a crazy person with it like a chicken with its

0:04:44.720 --> 0:04:46.400
<v Speaker 2>head cut off, is what I say all the time.

0:04:47.120 --> 0:04:51.680
<v Speaker 1>Absolutely, So then you know, would you plan in weeks

0:04:51.800 --> 0:04:54.120
<v Speaker 1>or planned by day or sort of look ahead for

0:04:54.600 --> 0:04:58.039
<v Speaker 1>you know, how was the timeline then of figuring out

0:04:58.040 --> 0:04:59.160
<v Speaker 1>how systems might work?

0:04:59.760 --> 0:05:00.160
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, yea.

0:05:00.240 --> 0:05:04.599
<v Speaker 2>My method is based on a seven day or a

0:05:04.640 --> 0:05:10.240
<v Speaker 2>week long home management system, and so I have all

0:05:10.279 --> 0:05:14.159
<v Speaker 2>seven days mapped out, and depending on what the week

0:05:14.240 --> 0:05:16.600
<v Speaker 2>looks like, right, we have some days that have lots

0:05:16.600 --> 0:05:20.320
<v Speaker 2>of extracurriculars, we have some days that don't. We have

0:05:20.400 --> 0:05:23.960
<v Speaker 2>some days where there's a lot of variables. But you

0:05:24.000 --> 0:05:28.440
<v Speaker 2>can essentially look through all of those things that are

0:05:28.480 --> 0:05:33.400
<v Speaker 2>happening in your week and you can really decide just

0:05:33.440 --> 0:05:36.320
<v Speaker 2>by seeing everything at a glance, how you can group

0:05:36.360 --> 0:05:39.880
<v Speaker 2>things together so you're not constantly multitasking all day long.

0:05:40.400 --> 0:05:44.560
<v Speaker 2>So I really ended up just building my whole life,

0:05:44.640 --> 0:05:46.799
<v Speaker 2>is what I call it. Basically, it was a week

0:05:46.880 --> 0:05:50.719
<v Speaker 2>of time, right, and I chunked that down and every

0:05:50.800 --> 0:05:54.120
<v Speaker 2>seven days we repeat it. So on Sundays, we have

0:05:54.200 --> 0:05:57.960
<v Speaker 2>a very specific event on the calendar that says Sunday Reset,

0:05:58.000 --> 0:06:00.560
<v Speaker 2>and we sit down and we reset all of our systems,

0:06:00.960 --> 0:06:03.719
<v Speaker 2>that need to be reset, and they're pretty much all automated.

0:06:03.760 --> 0:06:05.920
<v Speaker 2>We just make sure that we update them. Like today's

0:06:05.960 --> 0:06:08.600
<v Speaker 2>Bailey's birthday, so it's not a normal Tuesday night, right,

0:06:08.640 --> 0:06:11.039
<v Speaker 2>We're doing something very different this Tuesday night, So we

0:06:11.120 --> 0:06:13.560
<v Speaker 2>just update and tweak those small pieces.

0:06:14.760 --> 0:06:18.440
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and so I mean when people are feeling like

0:06:18.480 --> 0:06:23.720
<v Speaker 1>their life is chaotic and they are feeling overwhelmed, I mean,

0:06:23.720 --> 0:06:27.360
<v Speaker 1>what do you think they're generally getting wrong? Like what

0:06:27.720 --> 0:06:30.520
<v Speaker 1>leads to that sense of overwhelming chaos?

0:06:31.040 --> 0:06:34.359
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, the biggest part is just using too rigid of

0:06:34.400 --> 0:06:38.080
<v Speaker 2>a schedule or having like one hundred percent fly by

0:06:38.120 --> 0:06:40.560
<v Speaker 2>the seat of your pants. So I try and bring

0:06:40.600 --> 0:06:44.040
<v Speaker 2>people to the middle of that pendulum. There's a really

0:06:44.080 --> 0:06:49.120
<v Speaker 2>good mix in between those two that I have dialed

0:06:49.120 --> 0:06:52.000
<v Speaker 2>in and live in on a regular basis. A lot

0:06:52.040 --> 0:06:54.960
<v Speaker 2>of people would plague or peg me as a type

0:06:55.000 --> 0:06:58.600
<v Speaker 2>a personality, but you know, I mean, I guess by

0:06:58.640 --> 0:07:01.560
<v Speaker 2>different definitions, somebody will be that if they wanted to.

0:07:01.680 --> 0:07:04.679
<v Speaker 2>But I hate being told what to do. I don't

0:07:04.800 --> 0:07:06.800
<v Speaker 2>like doing the same thing over and over again. I

0:07:06.880 --> 0:07:09.320
<v Speaker 2>hated working a nine to five. I want to do

0:07:09.400 --> 0:07:13.680
<v Speaker 2>my own thing and having the framework and like an

0:07:13.720 --> 0:07:16.640
<v Speaker 2>actual home management system did allow me to have that

0:07:16.760 --> 0:07:18.360
<v Speaker 2>freedom to be able to do that.

0:07:19.600 --> 0:07:20.040
<v Speaker 3>Excellent.

0:07:20.120 --> 0:07:21.560
<v Speaker 1>All right, Well, We're going to take a quick ad

0:07:21.560 --> 0:07:30.960
<v Speaker 1>break and then I'll be back with more from Chelsea Joe. Well,

0:07:31.000 --> 0:07:33.400
<v Speaker 1>I am back talking with Chelsea Joe, who is the

0:07:33.440 --> 0:07:36.160
<v Speaker 1>host of the Systemize Your Life podcast for talking about

0:07:36.160 --> 0:07:40.040
<v Speaker 1>ways to systemize your life. So Chelsea, let's talk about

0:07:40.080 --> 0:07:42.640
<v Speaker 1>some of those systems, Like what are some of your

0:07:42.640 --> 0:07:46.200
<v Speaker 1>favorite Like if somebody is living in chaos and the

0:07:46.840 --> 0:07:50.040
<v Speaker 1>Chelsea comes to them and the first thing she has

0:07:50.080 --> 0:07:53.680
<v Speaker 1>them to, what's one of the easy systems that somebody

0:07:53.720 --> 0:07:55.040
<v Speaker 1>could start putting into place.

0:07:56.760 --> 0:08:02.280
<v Speaker 2>Well, I think the easiest and most impactful to start with.

0:08:02.400 --> 0:08:07.560
<v Speaker 2>This wouldn't necessarily be where I would have you start foundationally,

0:08:08.000 --> 0:08:10.760
<v Speaker 2>but still part of my huge system is my meal

0:08:10.800 --> 0:08:16.000
<v Speaker 2>planning system. Like the home management that whole thing definitely

0:08:16.080 --> 0:08:20.680
<v Speaker 2>is the meal planning system. That's super straightforward. I teach

0:08:20.760 --> 0:08:23.280
<v Speaker 2>that in depth on my blog and on the podcast

0:08:23.360 --> 0:08:27.400
<v Speaker 2>all the time. It is part of the program as well.

0:08:27.440 --> 0:08:31.680
<v Speaker 2>But essentially it's just a really straightforward, old fashioned way

0:08:31.720 --> 0:08:34.800
<v Speaker 2>of making sure that you're not skimming through Pinterest meals

0:08:34.840 --> 0:08:38.199
<v Speaker 2>all the time and that you use your family's favorites

0:08:39.679 --> 0:08:42.319
<v Speaker 2>as a bank that you can repeat over and over

0:08:42.320 --> 0:08:44.440
<v Speaker 2>and over again. And you create a menu board for

0:08:44.480 --> 0:08:46.880
<v Speaker 2>your family so they can always see what's on the

0:08:46.920 --> 0:08:51.760
<v Speaker 2>menu every week. And from there you get into a

0:08:51.800 --> 0:08:53.800
<v Speaker 2>really great rhythm of just making sure that your meal

0:08:53.840 --> 0:08:56.640
<v Speaker 2>planning every single weekend, and then you no longer have

0:08:56.720 --> 0:08:58.920
<v Speaker 2>to hear what's for dinner. You're not going through drive

0:08:59.000 --> 0:09:02.320
<v Speaker 2>through multiple time times a week, you're not over buying

0:09:02.320 --> 0:09:05.160
<v Speaker 2>at the grocery store and not utilizing the food and

0:09:05.200 --> 0:09:07.920
<v Speaker 2>throwing out a ton, so you end up saving a

0:09:07.960 --> 0:09:12.920
<v Speaker 2>ton of money doing that. It's probably one of the

0:09:12.920 --> 0:09:15.600
<v Speaker 2>first systems that I ever set up, truly, because I

0:09:15.640 --> 0:09:18.000
<v Speaker 2>remember very vividly in my mind when I like threw

0:09:18.000 --> 0:09:19.280
<v Speaker 2>my hands up in there and I was like, I'm

0:09:19.280 --> 0:09:21.160
<v Speaker 2>done with this. And I had been on Pinteres for

0:09:21.200 --> 0:09:23.960
<v Speaker 2>like two hours trying to figure out what to make

0:09:24.040 --> 0:09:26.600
<v Speaker 2>for food that week, and I was still trying to

0:09:27.400 --> 0:09:30.480
<v Speaker 2>wildly impress my husband with these you know, over the

0:09:30.520 --> 0:09:34.960
<v Speaker 2>top meals, and I was like, this is I'm done

0:09:35.000 --> 0:09:37.360
<v Speaker 2>with this, because I had two hours by the time

0:09:37.400 --> 0:09:39.960
<v Speaker 2>the baby woke up from the nap, and like I

0:09:40.000 --> 0:09:41.120
<v Speaker 2>was like, this is ridiculous.

0:09:41.160 --> 0:09:41.720
<v Speaker 3>I can't do this.

0:09:42.000 --> 0:09:46.040
<v Speaker 2>So I ended up setting up this system and we

0:09:46.240 --> 0:09:48.800
<v Speaker 2>literally still use it like nine years later.

0:09:49.280 --> 0:09:51.600
<v Speaker 1>So how many crowd placing meals should I have like

0:09:51.640 --> 0:09:54.920
<v Speaker 1>in my in my docket that I can then pull

0:09:55.040 --> 0:09:56.360
<v Speaker 1>up for my weekly plan?

0:09:56.640 --> 0:09:59.520
<v Speaker 2>Listen, I tell families with the pickiest eaters to start

0:09:59.559 --> 0:10:02.120
<v Speaker 2>with five, and you're gonna want to ask your family.

0:10:02.240 --> 0:10:04.320
<v Speaker 2>I think we have ten that we rotate still to

0:10:04.400 --> 0:10:07.160
<v Speaker 2>this day, and then they switch because you know, kids

0:10:07.160 --> 0:10:08.560
<v Speaker 2>get tired of it, We get tired of it, We

0:10:08.600 --> 0:10:10.400
<v Speaker 2>find a new one, an old one phases out, and

0:10:10.679 --> 0:10:13.280
<v Speaker 2>we have like a huge stack at this point that

0:10:13.320 --> 0:10:16.480
<v Speaker 2>we've you know, been building. We don't use all of those,

0:10:16.520 --> 0:10:18.280
<v Speaker 2>but it's fun to go back and look and be like, oh, yeah,

0:10:18.280 --> 0:10:21.400
<v Speaker 2>I remember that season when we had like chicken legs,

0:10:21.400 --> 0:10:24.120
<v Speaker 2>corn on the cob and watermelon like every week over

0:10:24.160 --> 0:10:25.199
<v Speaker 2>the summer. You know.

0:10:27.120 --> 0:10:29.079
<v Speaker 1>That's awesome. Yeah, we have. We have a couple of

0:10:29.360 --> 0:10:32.400
<v Speaker 1>true crowd placers in my family too. So around here,

0:10:32.480 --> 0:10:35.640
<v Speaker 1>Monday is always pasta night because Monday is like the

0:10:35.720 --> 0:10:37.640
<v Speaker 1>day when I least want to think about what it's

0:10:37.720 --> 0:10:41.680
<v Speaker 1>for dinner. So that's something that's wound up working for us.

0:10:42.240 --> 0:10:43.720
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I love that. I have had a lot of

0:10:43.720 --> 0:10:44.680
<v Speaker 3>families that will.

0:10:44.600 --> 0:10:49.000
<v Speaker 2>End up making like like theme nights, like Monday's always

0:10:49.000 --> 0:10:52.080
<v Speaker 2>pasta and Tuesday's always tacos of some sword and like,

0:10:52.640 --> 0:10:56.480
<v Speaker 2>or they'll they'll put like a specific culture it's like Mexican, Italian,

0:10:56.800 --> 0:11:00.520
<v Speaker 2>American traditional and whatever. You know, and how you want

0:11:00.520 --> 0:11:03.400
<v Speaker 2>to go about creating a system for yourself is always

0:11:03.400 --> 0:11:04.280
<v Speaker 2>a good place to start.

0:11:04.920 --> 0:11:08.120
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, Well, what's the other major housework thing that or

0:11:08.200 --> 0:11:11.160
<v Speaker 1>house management thing that tends to get people feeling like

0:11:11.160 --> 0:11:12.960
<v Speaker 1>they're behind? I mean, I don't know. Is it cleaning,

0:11:13.000 --> 0:11:15.640
<v Speaker 1>is it laundry, is it you know, administration or bill

0:11:15.679 --> 0:11:18.200
<v Speaker 1>paying or what is it that's sort of next, you know,

0:11:18.640 --> 0:11:19.840
<v Speaker 1>contributing to the chaos.

0:11:20.000 --> 0:11:22.680
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I think for me, it's the biggest thing for

0:11:22.720 --> 0:11:25.520
<v Speaker 2>me is time management. And people have never been taught

0:11:25.559 --> 0:11:27.719
<v Speaker 2>how to manage their time. And even if we were

0:11:27.760 --> 0:11:30.240
<v Speaker 2>taught by our parents, what they had to juggle in

0:11:30.280 --> 0:11:33.440
<v Speaker 2>a daily basis is nothing in comparison to what we

0:11:33.559 --> 0:11:36.720
<v Speaker 2>are juggling now our kids. The pressure for our kids

0:11:36.720 --> 0:11:39.439
<v Speaker 2>to be in a thousand things and just like everybody

0:11:39.679 --> 0:11:42.400
<v Speaker 2>is running at the speed of light, and so time

0:11:42.440 --> 0:11:45.920
<v Speaker 2>management is really important, and so I have a very

0:11:45.960 --> 0:11:49.320
<v Speaker 2>specific method that's hybrid between a paper planner and a

0:11:49.320 --> 0:11:53.440
<v Speaker 2>Google calendar of putting in a lot of automation in there.

0:11:53.480 --> 0:11:57.040
<v Speaker 2>So it takes the bandwidth and like the complexity of

0:11:57.080 --> 0:11:59.040
<v Speaker 2>managing a schedule out of it. But then we also

0:11:59.160 --> 0:12:02.640
<v Speaker 2>use five specific core time blocks to get your entire

0:12:02.720 --> 0:12:05.559
<v Speaker 2>life from being scattered all over the place into really

0:12:05.600 --> 0:12:09.080
<v Speaker 2>digestible groups of time. After we get your time management

0:12:09.280 --> 0:12:13.880
<v Speaker 2>down path, than everything else literally that's driving people crazy

0:12:13.960 --> 0:12:16.920
<v Speaker 2>is keeping up with the cooking, cleaning, dishes, laundry. It's

0:12:17.000 --> 0:12:20.840
<v Speaker 2>the dishes, toilets, laundry, you know, et cetera, those things.

0:12:20.920 --> 0:12:25.680
<v Speaker 2>Keeping up with housework is really complex for a lot

0:12:25.720 --> 0:12:29.520
<v Speaker 2>of people because they never set time aside to do it,

0:12:29.880 --> 0:12:32.480
<v Speaker 2>and when they do, they're like, that sounds really boring.

0:12:32.920 --> 0:12:33.520
<v Speaker 3>I would rather it.

0:12:34.760 --> 0:12:38.160
<v Speaker 1>Well, it is, I mean, but it's true that tasks

0:12:38.280 --> 0:12:41.439
<v Speaker 1>take time, and I think people have in their mind

0:12:42.080 --> 0:12:44.800
<v Speaker 1>that they don't I mean, I don't know where that

0:12:45.000 --> 0:12:47.719
<v Speaker 1>comes from, but yes, of course, like if you are

0:12:47.760 --> 0:12:50.600
<v Speaker 1>the one cleaning your house, you're gonna have to devote

0:12:50.600 --> 0:12:52.839
<v Speaker 1>time in your schedule to cleaning your house.

0:12:53.480 --> 0:12:56.760
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, for sure, And even whenever they do devote time,

0:12:56.880 --> 0:13:00.160
<v Speaker 2>They have no idea how long it actually takes what

0:13:00.200 --> 0:13:02.520
<v Speaker 2>they're going to do with that time. They just look

0:13:02.559 --> 0:13:04.840
<v Speaker 2>around and see a messy house and think, I need

0:13:04.840 --> 0:13:06.599
<v Speaker 2>to get the house cleaned, and so they wait for

0:13:06.640 --> 0:13:08.160
<v Speaker 2>it to build up and build up and build up

0:13:08.160 --> 0:13:10.240
<v Speaker 2>and build up. And it's pretty basically the same thing

0:13:10.280 --> 0:13:14.240
<v Speaker 2>with all home management, and so they push everything off

0:13:14.360 --> 0:13:17.240
<v Speaker 2>to the back burner and they don't prioritize it. And

0:13:17.280 --> 0:13:21.560
<v Speaker 2>these are foundational parts of living also our health, and

0:13:21.640 --> 0:13:24.319
<v Speaker 2>moms are notorious for this right of not taking care

0:13:24.360 --> 0:13:26.920
<v Speaker 2>of himself and putting themselves on the back burner. The

0:13:26.960 --> 0:13:29.079
<v Speaker 2>food that we eat, how often we work out, are

0:13:29.080 --> 0:13:31.200
<v Speaker 2>we caring for ourselves and were getting to bed on time?

0:13:31.720 --> 0:13:35.920
<v Speaker 2>That is a very big holistic approach to managing your life,

0:13:36.320 --> 0:13:39.640
<v Speaker 2>but essentially to managing the home. And my husband's very

0:13:39.640 --> 0:13:42.080
<v Speaker 2>involved in the home management, but it's still like my

0:13:42.360 --> 0:13:45.200
<v Speaker 2>brain and my baby behind this machine that I've built,

0:13:45.240 --> 0:13:48.040
<v Speaker 2>and then he just helps execute all of it. He's

0:13:48.080 --> 0:13:51.640
<v Speaker 2>got great, great feedback at times too. And I always

0:13:51.720 --> 0:13:54.040
<v Speaker 2>encourage the families that I work with to make sure

0:13:54.160 --> 0:13:58.240
<v Speaker 2>that it is involving and we're soliciting information back from

0:13:58.280 --> 0:14:00.200
<v Speaker 2>the other people that we live with to help us

0:14:00.240 --> 0:14:03.480
<v Speaker 2>build a really sustainable home management system.

0:14:04.120 --> 0:14:06.480
<v Speaker 1>Well, I'm curious what those five times of the day are.

0:14:06.600 --> 0:14:10.480
<v Speaker 1>Now I'm pondering, what are my five blocks of the day.

0:14:11.080 --> 0:14:13.720
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so most people that here time blocking, they've had

0:14:13.760 --> 0:14:16.720
<v Speaker 2>some experience with it, and I don't do it anything

0:14:16.840 --> 0:14:19.640
<v Speaker 2>like anybody else that you will find on the internet.

0:14:19.720 --> 0:14:23.200
<v Speaker 2>So essentially, there's three major things that we have to

0:14:23.240 --> 0:14:26.320
<v Speaker 2>tackle in a day. There's three major groups. The first

0:14:26.320 --> 0:14:29.400
<v Speaker 2>one is ourselves. We have to give time to ourself.

0:14:29.480 --> 0:14:31.440
<v Speaker 2>We have to get ready, we have to work out,

0:14:31.600 --> 0:14:35.120
<v Speaker 2>we need to feed ourselves whether or not. You know,

0:14:35.440 --> 0:14:38.360
<v Speaker 2>I'm a very faith based person, so having time to

0:14:38.400 --> 0:14:41.400
<v Speaker 2>read and do Bible studies or whatever that practice is

0:14:41.480 --> 0:14:45.360
<v Speaker 2>for you is really important. And no one ever really

0:14:45.400 --> 0:14:47.200
<v Speaker 2>takes the time to do that. And no matter what

0:14:47.400 --> 0:14:49.960
<v Speaker 2>season of life you're in, Like I nursed my babies

0:14:50.000 --> 0:14:52.880
<v Speaker 2>around the clock, Like I get it, I've been been

0:14:52.960 --> 0:14:56.040
<v Speaker 2>in that season completely, But there's still an opportunity for

0:14:56.040 --> 0:14:57.720
<v Speaker 2>at least fifteen minutes for yourself.

0:14:57.800 --> 0:14:58.040
<v Speaker 3>Right.

0:14:59.080 --> 0:15:02.800
<v Speaker 2>The other big group or category that we have to

0:15:02.840 --> 0:15:07.560
<v Speaker 2>tackle into vote a lot of time too, is everything

0:15:07.560 --> 0:15:10.520
<v Speaker 2>else in the home. So taking care of the kids,

0:15:11.120 --> 0:15:14.640
<v Speaker 2>taking care of the home itself, and the marriage. Right,

0:15:14.680 --> 0:15:18.600
<v Speaker 2>that's a huge consumption of our life. And then the

0:15:18.640 --> 0:15:21.680
<v Speaker 2>third one is our work. If you're whether or not

0:15:21.760 --> 0:15:25.240
<v Speaker 2>you're working to earn money or you're giving of your

0:15:25.280 --> 0:15:28.160
<v Speaker 2>time and your gifts to the PTO or to your

0:15:28.240 --> 0:15:33.200
<v Speaker 2>local whatever. Right, it's very rare that a woman is

0:15:33.240 --> 0:15:35.960
<v Speaker 2>not doing something outside of being a wife and a mom,

0:15:36.040 --> 0:15:38.360
<v Speaker 2>and so there needs to be time for that. And

0:15:38.400 --> 0:15:40.920
<v Speaker 2>so those three things. When I sat down, I was like,

0:15:40.960 --> 0:15:43.000
<v Speaker 2>this is super easy. We don't have to mix this

0:15:43.120 --> 0:15:44.920
<v Speaker 2>all up. We're just going to do these three things right.

0:15:45.320 --> 0:15:48.640
<v Speaker 2>But essentially, you can't just pour into the kids once

0:15:48.640 --> 0:15:52.040
<v Speaker 2>a day. You've got to touch it before and after work.

0:15:52.080 --> 0:15:54.640
<v Speaker 2>It has to be touched, right. So this is where

0:15:55.480 --> 0:15:59.080
<v Speaker 2>my five time blocks come in place. So the very first,

0:15:59.160 --> 0:16:01.320
<v Speaker 2>first first part of the day is your morning routine block.

0:16:01.360 --> 0:16:03.720
<v Speaker 2>You focus on yourself. Then you bump into your am block,

0:16:03.760 --> 0:16:06.200
<v Speaker 2>you focus on the home, the kids, marriage, whatever needs

0:16:06.200 --> 0:16:08.120
<v Speaker 2>to be done there. Then you focus on your work,

0:16:08.160 --> 0:16:10.280
<v Speaker 2>and then you do it backwards. You go back to

0:16:10.320 --> 0:16:14.080
<v Speaker 2>focusing on your home, your kids, your marriage, all the things.

0:16:14.160 --> 0:16:16.440
<v Speaker 2>And then you have that little and that's your PM block,

0:16:16.480 --> 0:16:19.360
<v Speaker 2>and then you have your little little block at the

0:16:19.480 --> 0:16:21.280
<v Speaker 2>end of the day, your book nds of your day

0:16:21.320 --> 0:16:23.880
<v Speaker 2>is your nighttime routine block. And for me, like a

0:16:23.920 --> 0:16:25.800
<v Speaker 2>couple of nights a week that consists one night a

0:16:25.840 --> 0:16:27.720
<v Speaker 2>week that consists of a date night with my husband,

0:16:28.600 --> 0:16:30.160
<v Speaker 2>and then the rest of the nights of the week,

0:16:30.200 --> 0:16:34.120
<v Speaker 2>maybe once or twice I'm watching something on YouTube, a

0:16:34.120 --> 0:16:36.800
<v Speaker 2>podcast or something of some sort. And then the other

0:16:36.920 --> 0:16:39.440
<v Speaker 2>nights it's just me. I'm in a bath, I'm unwinding,

0:16:39.520 --> 0:16:43.200
<v Speaker 2>I'm reading, I'm journaling or whatever. And so those are

0:16:43.400 --> 0:16:45.040
<v Speaker 2>the five time blocks, and the goal is to get

0:16:45.080 --> 0:16:48.240
<v Speaker 2>your entire life out of every single nook and cranny

0:16:48.280 --> 0:16:51.600
<v Speaker 2>and get them put into these very specific time blocks.

0:16:52.120 --> 0:16:52.440
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:16:52.520 --> 0:16:55.440
<v Speaker 1>I like that and just giving people the idea that yes,

0:16:55.520 --> 0:16:59.200
<v Speaker 1>you are a time block right like that. There doesn't

0:16:59.240 --> 0:17:00.440
<v Speaker 1>have to because I like, I think a lot of

0:17:00.480 --> 0:17:03.600
<v Speaker 1>people feel that, you know, all I'm ever doing is house, kids, work.

0:17:04.440 --> 0:17:06.480
<v Speaker 1>You know, it's there's there's no time for me. But

0:17:06.520 --> 0:17:08.639
<v Speaker 1>even if it's just a sliver at the beginning and

0:17:08.680 --> 0:17:09.840
<v Speaker 1>at the end, yeah.

0:17:09.680 --> 0:17:11.840
<v Speaker 3>It could be fifteen minutes, it doesn't have to be

0:17:11.880 --> 0:17:14.399
<v Speaker 3>two hours, which there, but it's still there. It's still

0:17:14.520 --> 0:17:16.560
<v Speaker 3>there and it's something to look forward to.

0:17:17.320 --> 0:17:19.600
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, well, I'm curious, I mean, Telsey, because obviously this

0:17:19.640 --> 0:17:21.520
<v Speaker 1>is a show called Before Breakfast, so we're big on

0:17:21.560 --> 0:17:24.280
<v Speaker 1>morning routines here. What is your morning routine?

0:17:25.359 --> 0:17:30.680
<v Speaker 2>Well, oddly enough, mine just changed drastically. Okay, my morning

0:17:30.720 --> 0:17:33.880
<v Speaker 2>routine for a real long time. For like the last

0:17:34.440 --> 0:17:40.160
<v Speaker 2>several years, we my husband and I spend a lot

0:17:40.160 --> 0:17:43.760
<v Speaker 2>of time separated in the morning. We read and I

0:17:43.840 --> 0:17:45.600
<v Speaker 2>kind of get ready for the day. I do check

0:17:45.600 --> 0:17:48.080
<v Speaker 2>in with my team. I do a quick power like

0:17:48.320 --> 0:17:51.520
<v Speaker 2>fifteen thirty minutes to address because I'm on the Pacific

0:17:52.320 --> 0:17:55.400
<v Speaker 2>time zone and everybody else is basically East. So by

0:17:55.440 --> 0:17:57.320
<v Speaker 2>the time I get to work, they're all like checking

0:17:57.320 --> 0:17:59.760
<v Speaker 2>out for the day. So I have to like plug

0:17:59.760 --> 0:18:03.199
<v Speaker 2>in with them early in the morning, and then I

0:18:03.240 --> 0:18:05.080
<v Speaker 2>would kind of open up the house. A lot of

0:18:05.080 --> 0:18:07.040
<v Speaker 2>people say that they wake up their house and put

0:18:07.040 --> 0:18:09.199
<v Speaker 2>their house to bed, you know, but I really, I

0:18:09.240 --> 0:18:13.200
<v Speaker 2>really do enjoy that. And then getting ready for the day.

0:18:13.359 --> 0:18:15.480
<v Speaker 2>That's what I was doing for a really long time.

0:18:15.520 --> 0:18:18.240
<v Speaker 2>Obviously making the bed there's little nuances within that. But

0:18:19.480 --> 0:18:23.560
<v Speaker 2>now I am the five am workout warrior, and that's

0:18:23.600 --> 0:18:25.240
<v Speaker 2>where we're at right now. So I'm up at four

0:18:25.320 --> 0:18:27.760
<v Speaker 2>forty five, We're at the gym at like five point fifteen,

0:18:27.920 --> 0:18:33.480
<v Speaker 2>and I get back home and we eat immediately and

0:18:34.200 --> 0:18:37.240
<v Speaker 2>get the kids to school. And my husband and I

0:18:37.280 --> 0:18:40.639
<v Speaker 2>are rotating every other day, so the days that I

0:18:40.680 --> 0:18:43.080
<v Speaker 2>take the kids and go straight to work, I get

0:18:43.160 --> 0:18:45.240
<v Speaker 2>to take a shower while the kids are getting ready

0:18:45.320 --> 0:18:46.600
<v Speaker 2>and then we flip flop that.

0:18:48.160 --> 0:18:49.800
<v Speaker 3>And that's been working out really well.

0:18:50.760 --> 0:18:52.280
<v Speaker 1>All right, well, we're going to take a quick ad

0:18:52.280 --> 0:19:01.560
<v Speaker 1>break and I'll be back with more from Chelsea jo Well,

0:19:01.600 --> 0:19:04.440
<v Speaker 1>I'm back talking with Chelsea Joe, who is the host

0:19:04.480 --> 0:19:07.240
<v Speaker 1>of the Systemize Your Life podcast. So I'm very curious

0:19:07.280 --> 0:19:09.920
<v Speaker 1>what inspired the you know, shift to being a five

0:19:09.880 --> 0:19:13.880
<v Speaker 1>point fifteen workout warrior person. Like what what I mean?

0:19:13.920 --> 0:19:16.560
<v Speaker 1>I am not I you know, despite hosting a show

0:19:16.640 --> 0:19:19.800
<v Speaker 1>called Before Breakfast, I am not a hardcore morning person.

0:19:19.840 --> 0:19:22.159
<v Speaker 1>So I'm always curious what makes that happen.

0:19:22.640 --> 0:19:26.240
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Well, we were trying to work out in any

0:19:26.320 --> 0:19:30.080
<v Speaker 2>other time of the day and it was essentially taking

0:19:30.680 --> 0:19:33.000
<v Speaker 2>two hours. It literally will take two hours of my

0:19:33.119 --> 0:19:37.000
<v Speaker 2>day to go get there, warm up, and then my

0:19:37.080 --> 0:19:38.960
<v Speaker 2>four days so like warming up is like a thing

0:19:38.960 --> 0:19:40.280
<v Speaker 2>that has to be done at this point.

0:19:40.359 --> 0:19:42.000
<v Speaker 3>Can't just like dive in like I used to.

0:19:42.080 --> 0:19:44.479
<v Speaker 2>I just used to like show up to class and

0:19:44.560 --> 0:19:46.960
<v Speaker 2>like just hammer out a hardcore workout and be fine.

0:19:46.960 --> 0:19:49.679
<v Speaker 2>That Now like everything hurts and you know whatever. But

0:19:51.760 --> 0:19:57.040
<v Speaker 2>it just was eating up into work essentially, because we

0:19:57.080 --> 0:19:59.239
<v Speaker 2>really want to be available for our kids when they

0:19:59.240 --> 0:20:03.680
<v Speaker 2>get off of school. Woll and my husband recently retired

0:20:03.720 --> 0:20:09.800
<v Speaker 2>from the fire department, and we just had to make

0:20:09.840 --> 0:20:11.800
<v Speaker 2>a hard decision of like, can we get this done

0:20:11.800 --> 0:20:14.080
<v Speaker 2>in the morning so that we can still both run

0:20:14.119 --> 0:20:18.280
<v Speaker 2>our businesses and both for the most part be off

0:20:18.520 --> 0:20:21.440
<v Speaker 2>work by three thirty or four thirty every single day.

0:20:21.600 --> 0:20:24.919
<v Speaker 2>And I he and I both are really wonderful morning people,

0:20:25.280 --> 0:20:27.240
<v Speaker 2>but we also really like to stay up after the

0:20:27.280 --> 0:20:27.840
<v Speaker 2>kids go to.

0:20:27.800 --> 0:20:29.719
<v Speaker 3>Bed too, So we're like, what is this sleep thing?

0:20:29.760 --> 0:20:30.960
<v Speaker 3>Why do we have to do it so much?

0:20:32.160 --> 0:20:34.240
<v Speaker 1>So your your two ends of the day are starting

0:20:34.280 --> 0:20:38.399
<v Speaker 1>to spread bigger, they're starting to get the bigger the

0:20:38.440 --> 0:20:40.480
<v Speaker 1>two time blacks at the end, well, because what time

0:20:40.520 --> 0:20:42.640
<v Speaker 1>do you need to go to bed then to wake.

0:20:42.560 --> 0:20:43.480
<v Speaker 3>Up that early? Yeah?

0:20:43.520 --> 0:20:46.120
<v Speaker 2>We really want to be like in bed with lights

0:20:46.119 --> 0:20:47.040
<v Speaker 2>out at nine o'clock.

0:20:47.440 --> 0:20:48.800
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, yeah, and that's hard.

0:20:48.920 --> 0:20:50.919
<v Speaker 1>That's hard, especially if your kids are not going to

0:20:50.960 --> 0:20:53.400
<v Speaker 1>bed until probably well then no.

0:20:53.400 --> 0:20:56.560
<v Speaker 2>Now we have my kids. I sleep trained my second

0:20:56.560 --> 0:20:58.840
<v Speaker 2>one because my first one I did not, and I

0:20:58.920 --> 0:21:01.760
<v Speaker 2>thought every woman that sleep trained her child was a

0:21:01.880 --> 0:21:05.720
<v Speaker 2>terrible mother. And then I learned that there was very

0:21:05.760 --> 0:21:08.040
<v Speaker 2>great idea to sleep train your children. So with my

0:21:08.119 --> 0:21:11.359
<v Speaker 2>second when, we definitely did that. And she has gone

0:21:11.359 --> 0:21:15.280
<v Speaker 2>to bed like clockwork by like seven seven point thirty

0:21:15.560 --> 0:21:18.080
<v Speaker 2>and just as of late it's been eight o'clock. She

0:21:18.160 --> 0:21:20.560
<v Speaker 2>just went into third grade. But her older sister is

0:21:20.600 --> 0:21:22.760
<v Speaker 2>a huge influence on that because she's thirteen now and

0:21:22.840 --> 0:21:25.040
<v Speaker 2>all she wants to do from nine o'clock on is

0:21:25.119 --> 0:21:29.560
<v Speaker 2>talk for hours on end the teenage life, and so

0:21:29.880 --> 0:21:32.800
<v Speaker 2>we are trying to navigate that and it has looked

0:21:32.800 --> 0:21:34.840
<v Speaker 2>a little bit different for the thirteen year old. You know,

0:21:34.960 --> 0:21:39.160
<v Speaker 2>she now has her own nighttime routine that she navigates

0:21:39.200 --> 0:21:40.400
<v Speaker 2>independently after.

0:21:40.200 --> 0:21:40.879
<v Speaker 3>We put her to bed.

0:21:41.240 --> 0:21:43.560
<v Speaker 2>Put her to bed because we're tired.

0:21:43.640 --> 0:21:45.400
<v Speaker 3>We're like, we gotta go to bed. I can't stay

0:21:45.440 --> 0:21:46.360
<v Speaker 3>up late every night.

0:21:46.840 --> 0:21:49.560
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I'm a I have started to be among the

0:21:49.560 --> 0:21:51.840
<v Speaker 1>earlier people in my household going to bed so yeah,

0:21:51.840 --> 0:21:55.160
<v Speaker 1>it's one of those things. So, Telsey, I always ask

0:21:55.200 --> 0:21:57.960
<v Speaker 1>people on the show, what is something you've done recently

0:21:58.040 --> 0:21:59.840
<v Speaker 1>to take a day from great to.

0:22:04.720 --> 0:22:05.160
<v Speaker 3>Wow?

0:22:05.560 --> 0:22:08.280
<v Speaker 2>That's a really great question, to take a day from

0:22:08.280 --> 0:22:13.000
<v Speaker 2>great to awesome? Well, work out that takes my day

0:22:13.040 --> 0:22:16.679
<v Speaker 2>from great to awesome every single time without a shadow

0:22:16.720 --> 0:22:20.240
<v Speaker 2>of a doubt. But I think the second thing is,

0:22:20.840 --> 0:22:23.320
<v Speaker 2>and the thing that I've been focused on the most lately,

0:22:24.240 --> 0:22:26.639
<v Speaker 2>is definitely the way that we speak to ourselves and

0:22:26.760 --> 0:22:31.560
<v Speaker 2>just constantly. I call it flipping the script. So there's

0:22:31.600 --> 0:22:35.359
<v Speaker 2>a lot of people in my family that cycle really

0:22:35.400 --> 0:22:40.520
<v Speaker 2>negative thoughts often or they maybe they aren't even negative,

0:22:40.640 --> 0:22:44.760
<v Speaker 2>but they're definitely not encouraging or positive. And what we

0:22:44.920 --> 0:22:50.480
<v Speaker 2>think shapes the way that we make decisions. And my

0:22:51.240 --> 0:22:54.239
<v Speaker 2>husband's grandfather always said, where our thoughts go, our feet go.

0:22:54.840 --> 0:22:57.280
<v Speaker 2>And so when we're trying to take a day from

0:22:57.280 --> 0:23:00.199
<v Speaker 2>great to awesome, it's really important to care about the

0:23:00.280 --> 0:23:03.000
<v Speaker 2>kinds of thoughts and words that speak to ourselves.

0:23:05.000 --> 0:23:08.439
<v Speaker 1>So using positive thoughts and in our minds to direct

0:23:08.440 --> 0:23:11.439
<v Speaker 1>where we're going. So, Chelsea, what are you looking forward

0:23:11.520 --> 0:23:12.120
<v Speaker 1>to right now?

0:23:13.560 --> 0:23:17.840
<v Speaker 2>I'm looking forward to San Diego this weekend. We're taking

0:23:17.880 --> 0:23:23.720
<v Speaker 2>the kids to a really lovely, kind of last minute

0:23:23.760 --> 0:23:27.400
<v Speaker 2>summer wrap up trip to the beach in San Diego.

0:23:28.520 --> 0:23:29.440
<v Speaker 3>Oh that sounds fun.

0:23:29.600 --> 0:23:33.960
<v Speaker 1>San Diego's gorgeous. So yeah, I assume you've been there before, right.

0:23:34.040 --> 0:23:37.399
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, yeah. I grew up in a neighboring state

0:23:37.960 --> 0:23:40.560
<v Speaker 2>in Arizona, so we went a lot as a kid,

0:23:41.080 --> 0:23:43.320
<v Speaker 2>and it's going to be a great time. My youngest

0:23:43.359 --> 0:23:45.400
<v Speaker 2>one's never been to the beach. My oldest one has

0:23:45.480 --> 0:23:48.680
<v Speaker 2>only been like once when she was I don't know,

0:23:49.640 --> 0:23:50.640
<v Speaker 2>like five or six.

0:23:51.119 --> 0:23:53.200
<v Speaker 3>So they're both going to have the time of their life.

0:23:53.720 --> 0:23:55.879
