However, I won’t continue listening to podcasts if there are really annoying obtrusive commercials or if the podcaster has a voice that irritates me. I can look past a weird intro here and there. I can’t listen to podcasts that I find annoying. While I don’t mind listening to people talk about their lives as that is part of why you feel like you know them, I also want to hear practical tips and helpful insights. While there is nothing wrong with listening to ones that no longer put out new episodes, I enjoy being able to follow along with peoples stories that are happening now. This list only includes podcasts that are still putting out new content. The podcast has new episodes published recently This list of best podcasts on decluttering and simplifying only includes podcasts that have a at least 30 episodes published. I didn’t want to include anything that wasn’t yet established. I tried listening to podcasts with shorter episodes and just didn’t feel like they were in depth enough so I tend to only listen to episodes that are around 20-30 minutes on average. Episodes are on average 20 minutes or longer Here are a few of the qualifications I had when creating this list. So what you’re getting in this list of the best podcasts on decluttering and simplifying are the ones I have enjoyed most and listen to regularly. I’ve tried a lot of podcasts that I haven’t stuck with for a variety of reasons. I am pretty selective about what I listen to. How I selected the list of best podcasts on decluttering Some voices are really relaxing and I’ve accidentally fallen asleep this way a couple of times. On the nights I am too tired to read a book as part of my evening routine, I’ll sometimes opt for a podcast instead. It gives me a mental break for a little bit. Now that my kids are older and don’t constantly need my attention, I also occasionally take the opportunity to listen to a podcast while they are watching a show or playing loudly. My kids love listening to audio books so we usually put that on through the speakers and I often take that opportunity to put on my headphones and listen to a podcast when I’m not the one driving.

When we’ve gone on family vacations they tend to be about a 3 to 4 hour drive from home. I sometimes even look forward to those tasks just because I know I get to listen to something I like while doing them. When I am doing the dishes or folding the laundry it’s a great opportunity to pair something I enjoy (listening to a podcast) with something I don’t (housework). I’m not a huge fan of cleaning my house, so I try to make it fun in any way I can. My routine doesn’t take that long but getting in just 15 minutes while I do my makeup, blow dry my hair, and brush my teeth works great for me. I also listen to podcasts when I get ready. I prefer it over listening to the million ads on the radio and it’s a way I can learn while doing something else. Most of the time that I’m driving alone I listen to podcasts. If I was out running errands, I’d listen to them as well. Drivingĭuring the school year, right after I dropped my kids off at school, I’d turn on a podcast for my drive home.

When my kids were younger it was challenging to find extra time to do things that were for me.Īs they’ve gotten older, I have more options now when they are in school, but here are some ways I listen to podcast episodes. Unlike reading a book, blog, or social media, podcasts allow you to listen while doing something else. I love being able to listen to them while I am doing other things. My most recent addition, which has been for years now, is podcasts. I’ve found that in a world that’s focused on consumerism having the reminders and the positivity in my Facebook feed has encouraged my journey. I also began following Facebook pages that promoted simple living. As a mom with younger kids at the time I appreciate being able to read shorter pieces of content with practical tips and insights in the simplifying journey. Later I discovered some inspiring blogs on decluttering, simple living, and minimalism. There are great books on simplifying that I recommend checking out if you’re a reader too. I’ve always loved to read and early on in my process, I started consuming information about decluttering by reading. I’ve really enjoyed these podcasts on decluttering and they’ve been an influential part of my simplifying journey.

I’m so grateful for the various mediums available to learn from. Today I wanted to share a list of the best podcasts on decluttering and simplifying that I’ve discovered along the way.
