In this episode of the "Joyfully Managed Life" podcast, Jessica Eastman Stewart revisits the concept of "deciding once" to help listeners streamline and manage their lives. The podcast explores various examples of this concept, including deciding weekly meal themes like "Mac and Cheese Mondays," bathing children on set days, subscribing to regularly bought items to avoid the hassle of repurchasing, and setting fixed dates for household chores. Jessica also stresses the usefulness of having a go-to dish for social gatherings, using socks of the same style to avoid pairing-related confusion, maintaining a list of movies for family movie nights, and setting other rules related to travel, food, and expenses. She suggests that deciding once and consistently following the same process can be a game-changer, significantly simplifying daily home management tasks.
