[Rerun] Decisive-ish

Thu, 04 Jan 2024 00:15:00 -0500

Your lovely podcast co-hosts have been fighting COVID and the flu (yes, each of us got both of those things in the past 3 weeks), so we're takin' a little R&R to spare you our extreme Phoebe voices. Enjoy this week's rerun and we'll see you back soon!!

---------

Amanda took a field trip to the Container Store and shares all about her Nice Little Sunday, while Brooke faces the harsh realities of buying a mirror under fluorescent lights.

Then, the ladies discuss decision paralysis, overcomplicating simple problems, and the overwhelming emotional labor and need to please others that can make it extra daunting to make decisions. Amanda also shares a REAL and riveting phone call (with some alarmingly offensive hold music) as she makes a big decision on the air.

Brooke then shares a familiar item in a new-to-her form that is sparking joy, and Amanda is doing her future jet-setting self a favor to always get the best deals with ease.

Thu, 28 Dec 2023 00:15:00 -0500

Today’s episode is a rerun of one of our greatest hits!

Valentine’s Day is coming… a holiday that requires a good enough-ish approach in many areas (and, perhaps, a little more effort in others — but only if you wanna). Speaking of effort: Amanda also teaches us about having an Every Damn Day list, a tip she picked up from Sarah Von Bargen, and how it can be an easier concept to grasp than adopting rituals or seemingly time-consuming practices. Plus, you know we love anything that involves a checklist.

Brooke then shares the details of her new hearty, delicious, protein-filled breakfast obsession, and Amanda reminds us of a favor we should all be doing for our future selves as tax season (blerg) approaches.

Content note: this episode includes discussion of weight, diet culture, etc. If you find these topics triggering at the moment, feel free to come back to this episode another time.

Amanda survived the TEDx experience and lived to tell the tale!

BUT… as with any big undertaking, it wasn’t all rainbows and butterflies. Amanda gets honest about some of the unexpected lessons that came from the experience. (*Special note: Amanda discusses some feedback that she received prior to her talk. Amanda wants to be crystal clear that the feedback she received did NOT come from, nor was it endorsed by, a member of the TEDxRutgersCamden team. The entire TEDxRutgersCamden team was made up of extremely talented and gracious young students, and they had no part in this.)

This leads to some real-talk about house clutter that makes them itch, being “overcome” by clutter, outer chaos leading to inner chaos, holding onto sentimental items (which, it turns out, don’t always include good sentiments), and when/how they started to value the benefits of organization and decluttering. Then, they sing. (It’s weird, but just go with it.)

Brooke also raves about a modern invention that was actually her million dollar idea 9.5 years ago, and Amanda reveals the phrase that now sets off all the red flags in her head.

Amanda digs into Gretchen Rubin’s four tendencies to identify why certain types of exercise (and accountability) work for her, and Brooke tells the tale of her lonnnnnng journey to finding an exercise routine that has now stuck for 5 years, and is as much for her mental health as it is for her physical health.

Introducing Good Enough-ish, a new podcast from two organization-loving friends sharing tips, strategies, and real-life experiences (and fails!) of trying to be good enough-ish.

Co-hosts Amanda Jefferson & Brooke Forry love systems and organizing... but we are NOT perfect. (#notevenclose) We are busy, tired, flawed people, attempting to keep it all together with some joy and fun in the mix.

Brooke is a graphic designer, entrepreneur, and co-founder of the Balance Bound Planner, a line of US-made products that help busy people get organized and prioritize self-care.

We have LOTS to discuss, rant about, and laugh about, amidst also sharing some hopefully helpful tips for our listeners.

The first episode of Good Enough-ish launches on Thursday, April 14, 2022, and you can listen wherever you get your podcasts. We'll have a new episode every Thursday.

You can find us on Instagram @goodenough.ish, on our website at www.goodenoughish.com or contact us with your episode ideas, questions, and comments.
