From One Basket to a Tanker: Scaling Systems

Happy 8th Birthday to the physical Sunday Basket®! The Sunday Basket® is your Golden Ticket to relieve household manager overwhelm. Life is changing rapidly, thank you very much AI, and increasing your capacity is paramount for your new way of living. Now is your chance to get your train car all set up so you can start adding other train cars (Sunday Baskets®) and be efficient like Rockafeller.

Change

Why like Rockafeller? This man from PA, refined oil. After refining the oil he had to transport the oil. He placed the oil in barrels. In order to be more efficient, he asked his workers to see how little material they could used to "seal" the metal bands around the barrels. Once he was efficient in that he questioned how could be be more efficient in transportation. Initially the barrels were transported on train cars but they were heavy and lost some oil along the way. So he came up with an oil tanker. The tanker carried a lot more oil without leaking.

Curiosity

How can you too be curious about everything you do in your homes to increase efficiency? What are your current systems and expectations and are they set for efficiency? I think about my robot vacuum. Grayson's new school has them play outside daily which means dirty shoes so I run it a little more often. But once the baby starts crawling, I plan to run it nightly. I adjust my cleaning standards based on my comfort level of cleanliness and the current phase of my family. I want you to always be asking yourself "Why am I doing this?" "Can someone else do it?" Or "Can I do this less frequently?" How little can you do each week?

Time to Get Your Golden Ticket

A great way to see how little you can do each week is, yes be curious, and get really good at your Sunday Basket®. The Sunday Basket helps you to proactively procrastinate. Your Sunday Basket is your train car. If you are lost as to what I am talking about please revisit ep. 570 (linked below.) Our train cars are each Sunday Basket we have for each project we are executing like a side hustle, someone else's home, work, or planning a big event. It's a safe place for actionable paperwork so that you can take ownership of our household manager role and create systems to be proactive planned.

As a present to you on this special birthday, the Sunday Basket will be on sale and you can get it all set up before Maycember!! What is Maycember? It's a chaotic time of year, like Christmas, but it doesn't affect the majority of the general public so you feel a little crazy. There are 4 main things that can derail your system and Maycember is part of the annual seasonality of life; the energy and load each season has. THern there's if something happens to you personally like you get sick or decide to get your PhD, life stages, and caregiving. When you have your Sunday Basket® routine down it's ike you are on autopilot and have capacity to make decisions in reaction to what the latest unexpected event life has thrown your way!

Not only is it on sale but I'll be diving into the Sunday Basket® more detailed in the next few episodes. Plus there will be two seminars coming up. Live in the Sunday Basket Club, in the app, on March 20th at 1:30pm ET I'm going to explain all about the taxes basket. And on Friday March 27th I'm going to explain how to set up a calendar box. This Calendar box will play a role in Planning Day too. So now from the Holiday Blitz Bundle, I'll be explaining how the Sapphire Sunday Basket will be transformed into an Anything That Can Wait basket. Get your Sunday Basket® to get efficient so that you can have a productive train!
