Clearing the Clutter: Keri Wilt on Making Room for What Matters
A well-tended life is not a set-it-and-forget-it life, nor is it a perfect life. It is, though, a life that is worked on Every Day, in the sunshine and through the storms.
Feeling overwhelmed by a never-ending to-do list? In this episode of 'The Well-Tended Life Podcast', host Keri Wilt shares her journey of making room for what truly matters by tackling the weeds of busyness. Drawing inspiration from her great-great-grandmother’s classic, 'The Secret Garden', Keri offers practical advice on how to clear the clutter and create space for growth.
She suggests starting with a simple exercise: jot down all the things you wish you had time for if you weren’t so busy. Next, she talks about crafting a 'no' speech to help you gracefully decline unnecessary commitments. And if you're already overcommitted, consider stepping back from some of your current obligations. But it doesn't stop there. Keri emphasizes the importance of daily practices like journaling to keep those weeds at bay.
She introduces her own method of Read, Reflect, Weed, Seed, and Water, which she uses to maintain her well-tended life. If you're curious about how to integrate these practices into your daily routine, Keri's insights offer a fresh perspective on living intentionally and making room for growth.
