Organize 365 Podcast

Are you ready for a rebirth? In this episode, Lisa explains her new perspective on generations and how when we were born affects how we use our home. Since we are living longer, we have "extra" time to live a vibrant life and use our gifts. What's holding us back? Our homes. What can we do about that? And what will Lisa do with her extra years? It's all in this episode. Both Generations and The Mindset of Organization are available on Amazon.

How do I get so much done? Find out in this episode as I talk about what endurance means to me and how I manage to live a productive live without a running to do list. But basically? Endurance means not stopping. Doing one more (small) thing after you complete a task is like getting a two-for-one bonus. Once you get rolling in your organizing, it's so much easier to keep going. Starting is the hard part, and you're already doing that! Just keep going! Sign up here for the FREE sneak peek of the 100 Day Home Organization Program. Like it?

In this episode, Lisa is talking about why, when taking control over your home and paper, the organization stage feels like the hardest. It's why the cute container systems don't work, why we don't see true organization in photos on Pinterest, and why we need to go through the 100 Day Home Organization Program three times a year. In her simple, logical way, Lisa breaks down the common reasons why organization feels difficult and what we can do to overcome that hurdle.

In this episode, Lisa discusses how your mindset and visualization of your goals can actually help you achieve them. By righting your mind and fulling believing in that progress, your goals are dust. By using how Organize 365 has changed in one calendar year, Lisa talks about putting your energy in the right places in order to visualize and realize your goals.

In this episode, Lisa describes the seasonal energies throughout the year and how to take advantage of these high and low tides. She's structured the 100 Day Home Organization Program around this concept, and is carving out space during the fall to dig deep into how she's spending her time. The Deep Dive calls for each task and responsibility to defend itself and its place on the to do list. Instead of asking, "Can this wait until next Sunday?" she is asking, "Can this wait until January?

In this episode, Lisa opens up about why she feels that women have so many responsibilities in the home, and how she's tackling them by thinking about her week differently. We are used to thinking of the week as Monday morning through Friday afternoon, and the weekend as Friday night through Sunday night. But what if the balance shifted, and our week was divided in true halves between our "work" life and "home" life? Would that create the sense of work-life balance we all seem to be craving? Visit Laura Vanderkam's website and check out her interview with Lisa to learn all about reframing the way you think about time.

Episode 245 is the audio of a Facebook Live, where Lisa chats about all the fun and productive things we'll be doing, and the delicious food we'll be eating, at our very first Paper Organizing Retreat.

The Organize 365 Paper Organizing Retreats will give you just that! In this episode, Lisa goes over the weekend's agenda and answers frequently asked questions about the event.

Christine Miserandino's Spoon Theory pivots around the fact that some people, especially those with chronic illnesses, start with less energy than others. In this episode, Lisa breaks down this theory and how it applies to home organization. Lisa shares actionable steps for anyone to make progress in their homes--because having a chronic illness does not mean you can't live an organized, productive life. My two books, How ADHD Affects Home Organization and The Mindset of Organization address aspects of this issue as well. You can also listen to this episode of the Organize 365 podcast to hear my experience with ADHD.

We tell ourselves all kinds of reasons why we can't get organized. Some of them are legitimate, others others are thinly veiled iterations of "It's hard" or "I don't want to." In this episode, Lisa strips down two of the most common legitimate excuses--chronic illness and young children--and uncovers a new way to tackle the 100 Day Home Organization program that doesn't involve small bits each day. If you've got one of these barriers, or if you're just a project-oriented person, you'll want to listen to this episode to find out how to modify the program to fit your needs.

In this episode, Lisa outlines what she calls "Golden Windows" of opportunity, life phases that bring with them circumstances that are prime for organization. Some Golden Windows happen just once in a lifetime, others happen several times a year. When these Golden Windows come along (or better yet, more than one at a time), we can capitalize on them and target that energy toward resetting and reorganizing our home. The directory of Organize 365™ Certified Professional Organizers can be found here. Listen to the podcast about Lisa's three new years for details on how she divides her calendar year, and learn about the 100 Day Home Organization Program and All Access, both of which follow those new years.
