Summary
Recently, I’ve been talking about how learning to get organized is based in meeting different levels of needs and by being exposed to different teaching techniques. This week on the podcast, I want to move from theory to practice. I want to talk to you about some specific ways to fit organizational behaviors into your schedule. I want to move you beyond a certain way to fold shirts and, instead, help you to change your behavioral habits. These habits make up 80% of our actions everyday, and we must PLAN and WORK to create change.
Big change over time comes from changing little habits on a regular basis. When I teach, I think hearing about real people in real situations is super helpful in applying information. So, I answer your question about irregular, unpredictable schedules. I also answer a listener question about being in the accumulation and survival stages at the same time (and I talk about both time and your space for this question). A third question addresses being organized when working two jobs and going to school.
I will also send you back to some of my prior podcasts where I explore these changes in detail and give you much more information. Here are some other podcasts I have recorded that also help answer these questions and you can apply to working towards changing your habits and behaviors:
- I write out my schedule each week when I do my Sunday Basket®. You can find a weekly schedule printable here so you can try the same technique.
- Podcast 197 - You Need a Schedule
- Podcast 254 - Find More Planning Time
- Podcast 227 - Having an Adult Spring Break
- Podcast 192 - Morning Routines for the Modern Day Woman
- Podcast 193 - Creating Afternoon & Evening Routines
- Podcast 128 - How to Hire Household Help
I hope this helps kick off some new habits for you! I would love to hear from you on Instagram or on Facebook.

| 0:05.0 | When I first heard about the Sunday basket, I thought it was a great idea. |
| 0:09.0 | I've always loved organizing my papers. |
| 0:11.0 | I thought it was such a simple concept that I could do it on my own. |
| 0:16.1 | So I went out and I bought some slash pockets and a cheap file box from my local big box store. |
| 0:22.1 | I sorted all of my papers and put them in the file box and I never |
| 0:26.1 | used it again. Once I invested in a real Sunday basket and all of the |
| 0:31.9 | training and community that it comes with I |
| 0:34.4 | realized what I had been missing. Now my Sunday basket sits on my kitchen |
| 0:39.3 | counter looking pretty and being put to good use every single day. I want to tell everyone I know |
| 0:47.1 | about the Sunday basket and teach them how it can work for them too. Thank you Candida. Do you have an organized 365 success |

| 1:39.0 | In the last couple of episodes, we've learned that there is a hierarchy of needs like we basically have to build our pyramid one layer at a time we cannot jump layers and last week we talked a lot about how we learn in general, how the general population |
| 1:56.1 | learns and then I'm sure you picked up some things that are a little different about how |
| 1:59.8 | you learn, how your family members learn, and the people at your office learn as well. |
