Welcome to the Organized 365 Podcast. My name is Lisa Woodruff and I'm a professional

organizer and blogger in Cincinnati, Ohio. I want to help you get your home

organized and help you organize life stages and unexpected events.

So sit back, relax, and let's get organized.

Oh, I am so excited to talk to you today.

Today we are going to start a long series on productivity,

and this series will run every other Friday until I'm done talking about productivity

which could be a year could be two years could be the rest of my life I have no

idea but we're going to keep talking about it until I have downloaded what I have in my brain into your brain so

that you are a more productive person.

Now there are two kinds of people that will be listening to this podcast.

One will be people like me that are already productive and they're just always looking for more and more productivity tips to become more productive like it's addicting.

And the other will be people who go, productivity, that's great.

If I could get out of my pajamas one day, that would be like amazing.

Productivity, whatever, maybe someday, I don't know.

And I want to say this is just like organizing your home.

Everyone could be a more productive person but it is exactly like organizing your

home in that it happens in incremental small steps. In your home is one drawer, one cabinet at a time.

In your life, productivity is streamlining one task, adding one extra minute to your day, eliminating one more task from your day.

And so today on the podcast I've gone through some of the big thoughts I have about productivity and I want to walk you through a couple

of my stories and my general thoughts on productivity because as you know I really believe that change happens first in your mind.

For some of you you'll listen to this podcast today and maybe six months from now and a year
