Summary
For the final episode in this series about the Education Friday Workbox®, I'm talking with Kate McDonnell. Kate is single and lives with her cat in Colorado. She has been a teacher for over 15 years. Her career started with teaching science but her background is in computer programming. She now teaches many different technology-related courses in different formats with a schedule that changes every week.
Kate is also a certified organizer. You can find out more about working with her here.
In this episode, Kate and I discuss the challenges of teaching and organizing so many different classes and then the administrative work that goes along with that. Kate loves using the portable Sunday Basket® to carry her Slash pockets and papers with her to her various schools. We also talk a little about managing email. You know that I'm not your digital organizer, but I do have some tips for organizing email. (I share even more about email organization in the email course inside of The Productive Home Solution™.)

| 0:11.9 | expert, and motivational speaker, Lisa Woodruff. This podcast will help you embrace progress |
| 0:18.8 | over perfection and create lasting, functional organizing in your home. I have so much to share |
| 0:25.3 | with you. So let's get started. Kate, welcome to the organized 365 podcast. Thank you |
| 0:33.6 | for having me. All right, so this is your first time on the podcast. So we have to know |
| 0:38.9 | how did you first find organized 365? I think it was a lucky Facebook ad. Like, I'm on Facebook |
| 0:48.8 | all the time and I follow all their links. Yeah, I think it was just a Facebook thing that |
| 0:52.7 | came up for Sunday basket. I was like, Oh, this is interesting. And I clicked on it |
| 0:57.2 | and got the Sunday basket. And then within weeks, I was all access. And just like it had |
| 1:02.6 | to add. It worked really well. It worked really well. So that was a very lucky Facebook |
| 1:08.6 | ad. So it was in the middle of COVID. So it was a great time for me to kind of be thinking |
| 1:13.3 | about my house because I was living in it more hours. And then suddenly I was like, Oh, |
| 1:18.5 | I'm going to use this for school. And then I invested in the teacher work box. So I kind |

| 1:30.9 | Wednesday podcast before, can you tell us the people that live with you in your household? |
| 1:36.3 | No, one just me. So yeah, I wrote my cat who's actually trying to join the video as we |
| 1:42.9 | see. But yeah, it's just me and my cat. So it's just I'm pretty easy to do in the house. |
| 1:47.8 | I actually taught my mom how to do it. And so she doesn't. She just has her and my dad. |
| 1:52.3 | But I wish I'd had it a long time ago. And I'm sure she wishes she had it when she |
| 1:55.7 | had three kids. So you found value in the Sunday basket and the productive home solution being |
