Welcome to the Organized 365 Podcast. I'm your host, Professional Organizer,

Productivity Expert and Mot speaker Lisa Woodruff.

This podcast will help you embrace progress over perfection and create lasting functional

organizing in your home. I have so much to share with you, so let's get started.

Happy Friday everyone. Okay, normally I'm like like here's what's going on in

Organize 365 and here's how you can participate this week and this week what I

want to bring to you is what is probably going to be a bonus episode on the podcast about where we are in the

coronavirus pandemic, where we are in the middle of our stay-at-home order,

what I am doing going forward and how organized 365 can support and help you.

So first of all on my Instagram yesterday I said that I am done with the word unprecedented like I'm just tired of

hearing it I'm tired of saying it it's been six weeks it may still be

unprecedented but I'm done with the word so I went to the thesaurus and I found some additional words and I

picked two that are going to be true for me. And the two that are going to be true for me that I have

been saying fears are exceptional and extraordinary.

Did you know that exceptional and extraordinary are synonyms unprecedented?

Now obviously you wouldn't say the pandemic is exceptional like it doesn't work in every single

sentence. For me and my character and who I am trying to become more of every day, being exceptional and extraordinary resonates.

Unprecedented, unchartered territory, unknown, those are not words that I can be

hold on to and act in.

So I want to take you back a minute and I want to tell you a story about 11 years ago.

Actually, pretty much 11 years and a month ago is when my father had come to the end of his battle for a year and

he was in hospice and ready to pass away.
