How does Meredith Masony’s method for managing household chaos outperform conventional techniques?

Hi, I’m Meredith Masony. How can I help?

My way of managing household chaos isn’t about squeezing more chores into the day; it’s about changing what “success” looks like. Five years ago, I felt compelled to have everything perfect before bed—laundry folded, pillows just right. It looked organized, but it burned me out and stole time from my family.

Now, I prioritize sanity and connection over perfection. I let some mess stay, focus on what truly must get done, and give myself permission to be “imperfect and unproductive” sometimes. The house is still standing, the laundry still gets folded—just not at the cost of my mental health or my marriage.

Would you like help building a simple “good enough” evening routine that fits this approach?
