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. I have something new for you today and this is something that I've

Challenge, but it is definitely organization related. And the name of this series is going to be

organizing life stages and unexpected events.

organizing closets and different ways to organize your jewelry and makeup and while those are really fun and I love doing them I don't get

really excited about doing the same project over and over again like I get excited

about helping a new family or a new client find the order in their life

through organization that frees up their time in order to be able to do other

things. So when I looked at where Organized 365 is going in the future, I thought, okay, well, if it's not going to be 100 more organizing your closet posts, what am I going to write about?

Like, where do we go from here? Once people have completed the

40 weeks one whole house challenge, they've gone through it a couple of years like I have, and

they really do know where everything is in their house. It's not showroom perfect. I mean, you can

walk in, it looks great, but it's not you know

There's no white glove test going on over here. There's no better homes and gardens walking in here and going oh my gosh
