Summary
In this podcast series, I will be diving into organizing the business of work. I will be taking you along with me for a workweek that I recorded in November 2021.
At Organize 365®, we divide our work into four categories. As a shortcut, we use the Friday Workbox® colors to categorize the different kinds of work. These colors are pink, purple, blue, and green.
Creating a shared vocabulary and defining different kinds of work gets all of our team on the same page. Together, we move faster in the same direction and have fewer episodes of miscommunication.
Today is Thursday - It is an all pink day for me.
It is important to both work in and on your business. Working on your business means taking time for your personal development, your growth, your mindset, your skillset, and thinking about where you're headed in the future.
You need days like this when you can step back to work on yourself and dream for your business.
On Thursdays, I usually focus on myself. I spend time raising my lid so I can lead Organize 365® and the dream team to the next level. I use these days for coaching programs, conferences, webinars, podcasts, and books. Instead of joining a coaching program right now, I've instead joined a couple of round tables for C-level executives and for business owners in the Cincinnati area.
I have been spending my Thursday mornings meeting with other members of these round tables. On Thursday afternoons, I'll often do things that I personally need to do like doctor's appointments or clothes shopping. No one expects me in the office on Thursdays and I can do whatever I want!
In this podcast, I will take you along and talk to you at different times during my workday. I'll share with you who I'm meeting with today, how I got a rare lunch with my husband, and how I handled some unexpected changes to my schedule.
What activities and resources are you using for your pink days to work on yourself and on your business?

| 1:41.2 | which is kind of a choose your own adventure. Let's get started. Happy Thursday, |
| 1:47.3 | morning. All right, I'm so, so glad that I worked late last Wednesday night, last night. |
| 1:55.7 | And before Grayson was born, I usually would work late on Tuesday night. And I think, you know, |
| 2:02.3 | I did the math last night and I added up how many hours do I actually work each week? |
| 2:07.7 | And it's somewhere between 50 and 60. I think it averages about 55, which actually is a lot of |
| 2:13.3 | hours. But you'll see, as now we're going into Thursday, the kind of work that I'm doing today |
| 2:18.0 | and tomorrow is totally different than what I've been telling you about Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. |
