This is part eight of a series sharing the Organize 365® Story. I want to talk with you about some special circumstances that impact your organizational journey. As always, I start with helping you to get the right mindset about home organization. I want to give you the ability to look at your life circumstances and understand the ways in which they are impacting your organization. Getting your thoughts and mindset ordered is vital to ordering your physical spaces. I want to share with you some life circumstances and talk about how they affect your thinking and your organizing work. This week, I want to share some special circumstances you may face in order to help the Organize 365® community to have a shared vocabulary and foundational language.
No matter when you begin your transformational journey (or when you need to reset or restart), this information will be here as a reference for you. Listen in as I teach you about how I special circumstances and their impact on organization. These ideas are at the core of everything I teach and how I approach organizing and will help you take those first steps towards learning the skills of organization in order to progress along your transformational journey.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the new year. Oh my goodness. I'm so excited for you. I'm so excited. |
| 0:06.0 | The reason that you are listening to an organization podcast in the beginning of the new year is because you are ready to get organized. |
| 0:15.0 | And 87% of Americans believe organization is a learnable skill. |
| 0:20.0 | Yet only 13 to 18% of those same Americans feel like they're organized in any category. |
| 0:26.0 | And here's why. |
| 0:28.0 | Organization is so much more than just a decluttering binge or living a minimalist life. |
| 0:34.0 | It's actually a skill you learn like learning a foreign language. |
| 0:38.0 | I have been spending the last 11 years really diving into how do we get organized? |
| 0:44.0 | Where do we get stuck? |
| 0:46.0 | What are the skills everyone needs to learn and what are skills that only certain people need in certain phases of life? |
| 0:52.0 | Over all of this time, I've created my own glossary. |
| 0:58.0 | Like I had to redefine words and create scenarios that would make you think about your house differently so you could see organization in a different light. |
| 1:09.0 | And you'd be able to take action and actually learn the skill of organizing. |

| 1:27.0 | And then I have five new glossary episodes for you, all the learnings that we gained in the last year. |
| 1:34.0 | So this is a very bingeable month. |
| 1:36.0 | There will be a lot of podcasts for you to come back and listen to this month and a lot of new learnings. |
| 1:42.0 | And don't worry, if you've already heard these podcasts before when they were originally recorded or even if you've listened to them a couple of times, |
| 1:50.0 | re-listening to these glossary podcasts are going to number one, let you see how far you've come in learning this whole new skill of organization. |
| 2:00.0 | Some of the things I say are now second nature to you. They may actually be in your own vernacular. |
| 2:06.0 | And you'll hear things differently. You may be in a different phase of life now or you may not have heard things the first time through when you listen to the podcast. |
