Your
24/7 life
Our editors have been thinking a lot
about families with teenagers and how
they live —days, nights and weekends.
Teens aren’t toddlers; they no longer
require hyper-vigilant supervision.
They’re more independent—doing
homework in their room, going to sports
practice, babysitting other kids—which
means you’re getting some time back too.
So we wanted to organize our pages in a
way that reflects the rhythm of your life:
On Duty and Off Duty.
On Duty is mom taking care of
business: at her job, managing kids,
navigating finances, tackling the
never-ending laundry pile, scheduling
medical check-ups, getting dinner on the
table…you know, all the stuff that’s on your
to-do list every day! (This is what my
on duty looks like —the chaos of my
work life.) So we’ve launched some
new columns to help you get through
it, like Task Master (the anatomy of
a chore, page 52) and Family Health
Checklist (the cure to all your questions
about everyday health concerns—this
month it’s vaccines).
Off Duty is all the stuff you look
forward to doing once your to-do list is
under control, like making your home
pretty (see our story on decorating
MY FAVORITE THINGS teen bedrooms on page 110), planning a
family vacation, shopping, baking or
even, gasp, taking care of yourself!
We’re still delivering all the great types
of content you love, just with new pack-
aging. Please let us know what you think!

 31-DAY DETOX
Armed with a basic understanding of my decluttering
principles and workarounds for common excuses, it’s
time to get going! Just as a detox diet helps eliminate
toxins from your body, this 31-day home detox helps
you clear stuff out of your space. The plan is designed
to jump-start your decluttering and target the obvious.
You likely won’t get down to deep clutter, but it will
hopefully drive your motivation to keep going with the
room-by-room approach in my book. (See page 43.)

GOAL Quickie purge to get the declutter party started!

TIME COMMITMENT 15 minutes per day.
YOU WILL NEED Garbage bags and boxes/bins/
shopping bags for anything you want to donate.
Consider this plan a guideline, not gospel. Know that
there are catch-up days built in to allow for extra time
in particularly jam-packed areas. Skip spots that aren’t
relevant to your life. Customize it to work best for you!

Day 1  Paperwork Day 2  Front

Are there piles on the kitchen counter or
in your home office? Go through bills,
receipts and any other papers, tossing
(or shredding) what you don’t need and
filing what’s left in its proper place.
Mind Over Matter
Double the Decluttering
“Our attention is our most valuable as-
set,” says Lusita, author of The Right Fit
Formula. “Where we focus our attention
is where our effort goes. So if we’re focus-
ing on stacks of paperwork that never get
sorted, that can lead to a lot of stress and
a cluttered brain.” Reclaiming a counter
eliminates that frustration and brings
back your focus.
entryway and/or coat
closet or mudroom
Pack up for donation any coats, shoes or
accessories that are no longer used. Put
any out-of-season inds into storage.
Mind Over Matter
Try to Transition
Rough day at work? Someone cut you
of on the drive home? If you haven’t
already, here’s a place where you can
remind yourself to leave drama where it
belongs: outside your front door. “Few
people take the time to ‘change hats’
or transition from one situation to the
next,” laments Ali Katz, author of Hot
Mess to Mindful Mom. “Let go of what-
ever negative energy was in the previ-
ous situation instead of carrying it into
the next.” It’s mental energy you don’t
want to waste.
Day 3  Purse
Remove random stuff you don’t reach for
regularly. Cut down on unnecessary mul-
tiples like pens, mini notepads or half-full
packs of tissues and gum. Stash makeup
and other small essentials in a zipper
pouch that can easily be transferred from
purse to purse as needed.
Day 4  Cleaning supplies
Go through all products (wherever they
may be lurking in the house!) and discard
any you don’t use. If you have multiple
partially filled bottles of the same exact
product, combine them into one. Toss
any beat-up rags and sponges, they only
harbor bacteria.
Day 5  Fridge and freezer
Toss anything that has expired or you
know you won’t use.

other dry food storage
Toss anything that has expired or you
know you won’t use. Don’t forget to go
through the spices too.
Day 7  Free-for-all
This is a catch-up day if you didn’t fin-
ish any of the above areas. If you’re all
caught up, pick the most cluttered area
in your home and spend 15 minutes pick-
ing through there.
Mind Over Matter
Enjoy a Daydream
“We put a lot of pressure on ourselves
to have our space be the version of
what other people think it should be,”
says Ruth Soukup, author of Unstuffed:
Decluttering Your Home, Mind & Soul.
“We look on Pinterest and see minimal-
ist bins in furniture catalogs, but that
might not fit your family or personality.”
Soukup suggests closing your eyes and
asking yourself, “When I think of how
I want my home to feel, what does that
look like?”
Day 8  Kitchen cabinets
Scour the shelves for anything you don’t
use. Ensure that all plastic storage con-
tainers have matching lids. Eliminate
unnecessary gadgets and utensils.
Day 9  Medicine cabinet/
first-aid supplies
Evaluate all medications for any that are
expired or no longer needed. Return ex-
pired meds to your local pharmacy for
proper disposal.
Find maintainable storage solutions for
all items that frequently land on the table
and commit to keeping it clutter-free.
Donate any dishes, serving ware or other
items you don’t use.
Mind Over Matter
Create Visual Cues
Looking at clutter can stress you out, but
seeing something serene can bring you
calm. Try putting a vase full of flowers
on your dining room table or a beautiful
photograph on the wall. “I call it ‘posi-
tive prep,’ ” says Lusita. “Wherever you
go most frequently, put something that
brings you joy in your eye space.”

Make sure all DVDs and CDs are in their
proper cases and think about what you
really will use. Videos and music are so

cyclone of thoughts, ask yourself these
questions to quiet the storm.
What am I doing right now?
“Stop and check in with reality,” says
Shojai. You’ve got to notice what’s
happening (“I’m stressing myself out!”)
before you can change it to what you’d
like it to be (“I’m getting calmer and
more focused”).
Are these thoughts
allowing me to be the best
version of myself?
Spoiler alert: They’re not. “Think about
how you can turn those thoughts
around,” says Katz, who suggests
immediately naming three things
you’re grateful for (think: the roof
over my head, the smell of clean
laundry even if it hasn’t been put
away yet, a full fridge). “The goal is
to calm yourself down enough so you
can move forward in a way that feels
better. Stress will keep coming, but the
question is how quickly can you regain
focus and recover from it.”
How can I be fully present?
You can’t prep dinner and argue with
your sister while driving your kids
home from practice. (Well, you can but
you shouldn’t.) “Decide to sing along
with what’s on the radio and enjoy
being with your kids,” says Shojai.
“Then when you get home and they’re
upstairs doing homework, tackle
whatever needs to happen next.”

he says. “You need that
calm, and the best time to
get it is first thing in the
morning. Plus it’s a nice
way to ease into the day.”
Practice Serenity
When you’re sitting at

reach for your phone and
start scrolling through
Instagram. Instead, take a
moment for your breath.

to tackle hard-to-reach places, an upholstery brush to
remove dust and debris from furniture, and a round
brush for dusting steps and windowsills.
• If you’re using a bagged vacuum, don’t overfill the bag.
Replace it when it’s about two-thirds full to keep max
suction and prevent that horrifying moment when the
vacuum spits particles back out.
• Make multiple passes. One swoop just doesn’t cut it.
Go over each section in both directions two or three
times to really suck up that dog hair.
• If you’re vacuuming an area rug, start in the cen-
ter and work outward, but be extra careful around
the edges—you don’t want any frayed fibers getting
stuck in the rotating brush.

SPEED RACER Slow down. Vacuums work best when they are given time to actually pick up all the dirt.

ontrary to popular belief, I
truly believe we can have it all.
But life is not like Burger King:
We can’t always have it our way.
I wasted many of my early years feel-
ing guilty for not having achieved all
my goals. It wasn’t until I received some
wonderful advice from a wise older
adult that I learned guilt and “wanting
it all” was nothing more than
a stress-inducing, ulcer-form-
ing myth—and a barrier to suc-
cess. That advice? Basically, to
embrace being “well lopsid-
ed,” which means letting your
strengths and passions balance
sets. That’s how my mantra
was born: Work. Sleep. Family.
Fitness. Friends. Pick Three.
I now had permission
(from myself ) to prioritize
three out of those five things
every day. And I could choose
different ones each day. The
goal was to balance out over
the long term, not just in any
24-hour period. It has helped

if we have a career, guilt if we

perfect, especially when everyone else’s
lives look so perfect on social media. But
once I gave myself permission to focus
solely on certain things, one at a time, I
started feeling a lot less guilty. When I
travel for business, I am picking Work.
When I’m home, I choose Family and
Friends. When I work too much, I also
choose Sleep and Fitness because I know

I’ve created an abbreviated version of
Pick Three to share with you. Hopefully,
life force. And will become yours too. Just
keep in mind these few basic rules.
Stick to three. While it’s incredibly
tempting to try for more (we’re an increas-
ingly multitasking culture, after all), your
goal should always be quality over quanti-
ty. Work. Sleep. Family. Friends. Fitness.
Pick Three. And there should be no fear
of buyer’s remorse. You can always choose
a different combination tomorrow.
Lose the guilt! You can’t always do
everything well. Give yourself per-
mission to be great at the three things
you’ve picked and try not to waste
one precious second feeling guilty
about the things you didn’t pick.
Make it awesome. There’s no point
to Pick Three if you’re not going to
kick total butt on your three
things. Do as amazing a job
with them as you possibly can.
Track your choices. Like
any system that holds you
accountable, it works best
if you jot down your picks
each day and refer back to
five categories roughly the
same amount over the course
of time. Whether you want to
track it on paper, a calendar
or your phone, logging your
daily choices will give you a
sense of the broader overall
where you may need to shift
a bit more effort.
For me P3 has had the
greatest impact by far on my
career. When I have an espe-
can be unapologetic about
prioritizing it, because I know
soon I’m going to turn around

Become a Foster Parent
All the perks of adopting a pet—with
B
efore you officially bring a dog
or kitten into your family, you
might want to consider foster-
ing. It can help everyone in the house get
a sense of what’s required when taking
care of a pet, like feeding and grooming,
before you fully commit. Plus, you can
also determine if the type of animal is the
right fit for your home.
It may also be easier on your wallet
than adoption. “Some shelters will cover
foster-related expenses, but policies
and procedures vary depending on the
adoption center or rescue group,” says
Eileen Hanavan, senior manager at
Offsite Adoption and Foster Programs
at the ASPCA. These expenses may in-
clude veterinary care or supplies such as
collars, leashes, crates and litter boxes.
DON’T FORGET! Short-term fostering (taking a pet for a weekend or overnight) may also be an option.
Other foster programs may also provide
food for the pet. Check with your local
shelter or foster organization about their
guidelines.
The biggest perk: Getting an animal
one step closer to finding its forever
home feels good. You could lend a paw
to animals that are recuperating from ill-
ness, injury or medical procedures. Or
you might house kittens who can’t stay
in shelters due to overcrowding during
feline breeding season (between spring
and fall, peaking in summer).
“Fostering is the backbone of many
rescue groups,” says Samantha Nelson,
public policy specialist for The Humane
Society of the United States. “Without it,
rescue groups simply could not take in
as many animals.”
Before you bite of more than
you can chew, ask yourself
these three questions:
1 ) Do I have the time?
Even if the pet will be in your life for
a brief period, you still have to give
it significant attention—unless you
want a scratched-up couch or upset
neighbors. You’ll need to train, walk,
feed and socialize the animal plus
take it to the vet just as if it were
your own. “If you are determined to
foster but work inconsistent hours or
travel frequently, some shelters ofer
programs where pets can be picked
up and brought home just for the
weekend,” says Ragen T.S. McGowan,
PhD, a research scientist at Purina.
2 ) Will family members get too
attached?
Saying goodbye is tough, especially
for kids. “It’s important that kids
understand from the beginning that
the foster pet is just visiting and will be
leaving for a new home when a suitable
match is found,” says McGowan.
But if you simply can’t let go of the
animal, be prepared to become what is
afectionately known as a “foster fail.” If
a foster parent meets the qualifications
for adoption, most organizations give
them first choice to adopt, says Nelson.
3 ) How will my other pets react?
If you already have a pet, it’s very
important to introduce the new
addition slowly and carefully to prevent
fearful or aggressive behavior from
developing. Dogs should be leashed
upon introduction, while letting cats
get a sense of each other’s scents
(through a blanket swap) can ease their
initial meetup. Before you bring your
foster pet home, make sure the shelter
discloses how the animal behaves
around other cats and dogs.
For more information about the process of
fostering, reach out to your local shelter.

Talking About
College can be a costly way to
to do for a living. Technical
education could be a better option.
By Dan Tynan
I’ve been telling my kids they’d go to col-
lege since they emerged from the womb.
Didn’t matter to me whether they went to
Harvard, UMich or Berkeley (go Bears!),
so long as they got degrees.
But then high school came around.
Reality bit. Hard. My kids were bored,
rebelled against insane homework loads
and existed largely in sleep-deprived
fogs. Neither earned a diploma.
$$$ MATTERS
In most metropolitan areas, the middle class shrank from 2000 to 2014
and median household incomes fell from 1999 to 2014.
Source: Pew Research Center
My 21-year-old son eventually re-
ceived his GED, worked his butt off for
two years at a community college and will
be attending the University of California
this fall. My daughter, now 19, has a job as
a barista, spends most of her income on
fast food and tattoos, and is laser-focused
on resisting adulthood.
Whip-smart and funny, she’s a talent-
ed writer, photographer, musician and
cook. But she’s always hated school, and
I’m starting to wonder if she’s cut out for
college. Maybe she’d be better off attend-
ing a culinary academy. Or, because she
loves animals, perhaps she could train to
be a veterinary technician.
Something about this idea bothered
me deeply, but I couldn’t figure out why.
Then it hit me: If my daughter opted for
a “trade” instead of a four-year degree, I
would feel like I had failed her as a dad.
Don’t call it “vocational”
Vocational education has a stigma at-
tached to it, and there are quantifiable
reasons for that. For decades it was used
to separate students onto white-collar
and blue-collar career paths, often based
on race and economic status. Affluent
white kids were directed to the college
track; the poor and people of color were
shunted off to shop class.
In the 1980s that changed; almost
every student, regardless of ability or
inclination, was pushed toward college
prep courses. The number of high school
graduates attending college rose over the
years, reaching 69.2% in 2015, but more
than 40% of college students never com-
plete their degree. Those who do grad-
uate aren’t guaranteed a solid job with
benefits and growth potential. Estimates
for the number of grads employed in po-
sitions that don’t require a college degree
range from 25% to 48%, depending on
which study you believe. And the average
debt load for a student who graduated in
2015 exceeded $30,000.
Now the term “vocational education”
isn’t even commonly used anymore—
instead, it’s called career and technical
education (CTE). And as college costs
soar and U.S. industries struggle to find
trained workers, CTE has become an
increasingly attractive alternative to
pursuing a liberal arts degree.

some combination thereof.
It’s hard to successfully argue that a
student should spend years and many
(many!) thousands of their parents’
dollars (or rack up major debt) working
toward a degree in a subject that does not
interest them when they’d be much hap-
pier as a professional chef or a mechanic,
says Maerowitz. “A lot of what parents and
kids struggle with is expectations,” she
says. “Ultimately, we all want our kids
to be successful and have a fulilling life.
That doesn’t necessarily mean getting a
job where they’re working insane hours
and focused on making a lot of money. It
means having a balanced life.”
Animal planet
While I was writing this story, my
daughter told me she’d finally come up
with a plan for her future. She would take
the GED test, spend two years at commu-
nity college like her brother, then enroll
in a public university with a solidly good
veterinary medicine program. “I’ve al-
ways loved animals,” she said.
I said I thought this sounded like an
awesome plan. But before she fully com-
mitted to any of it, I suggested she try to
get herself hired as an assistant in a local
vet’s clinic for a while, so she could really
be sure that was the right path for her.
Even better, perhaps she could get her
vet tech certiication so she could earn
money while she learned.
“It’s not about me and my expectations,” I
added. “It’s about what makes you happy.”
Just like any good dad would say.

Free Spirit
a boho-style room where the livin’ is easy

Nothing says boho quite like macramé. This wall hanging is way
more laid-back than a traditional headboard, and is perfect for the crafting
challenged who don’t want to tackle a paint job.

“I have a lot of
decals that say my
name, a couple
dance posters of
ballerinas and a
bunch of shelving
with organizers
filled with beauty
products like
EOS lip balms.”
“I share a room with my brother, but
he’s away at college so I completely took
over. I put my comforter and sheets over
the other bed so I have like two beds
while he’s gone. He’s been very generous
about it, but he might still be upset.”

IF YOU WANT TO LOSE WEIGHT , fire up

your metabolism! “It converts the food
you consume into energy,” explains
Ashley Borden, master celebrity trainer,
author and creator of The AB Fit App.
Great ways to accelerate that process and
burn, baby, burn are exercise and diet.
So we asked celebrity nutritionist Haylie
Pomroy, author of Metabolism Revolu-
tion, for smart eating advice to go along
with Borden’s exercise plan that boosts
lean muscle. “Muscles are mini furnac-
es,” says Borden. “When the body has
more muscle, the furnaces work—day
and night—keeping your metabolism
revved.” Do Borden’s circuits on the same
day or alternate days, depending on how
much time you have.

OUTSMART SUGAR
When Pomroy’s clients request tips for losing weight, she recommends unsweetened dairy
alternatives. Many coconut and almond milk yogurts contain similar amounts of keep-you-full
protein without the metabolism-disrupting sugar. She also suggests fruits that are low in sugar
and high in antioxidants, like berries, and iber-rich seeds, such as lax or chia.

FAT IS WHERE IT’S AT!

Fish is rich in omega-3s, which curb inlammation and stimulate metabolism. Omega-3s have the
added beneit of promoting balanced blood sugar—keeping you from peaking and crashing
during workouts. Sweet potatoes are another bright addition to the plate, not only for color but
for your immune system and skin (boosting collagen and elasticity), thanks to vitamin C and

BETTER TOGETHER
Beef is a terriic energy source. It’s loaded with protein (a natural metabolism
booster) and iron (to up your red blood cell count, delivering oxygen throughout
your body). Pairing it with eggplant helps your body more readily absorb the iron.
Add to that the mix of fresh herbs, and you’re on your way to having a gut-friendly
meal, as ingredients in the herbs promote digestion.

If your dog or cat has food sensitivities, ask your
veterinarian about BLUE Basics. With both traditional
and grain-free recipes, you’re sure to find one that’s
perfect for your pet.
