Summary

Episode 1 - Over Prepared

Even though I am the CEO of Organize 365® I am not exempt from life events that can throw a person off track. I only got a 48 hour honeymoon phase of balancing life, work and school until life showed up! But we are in it now - I'm juggling home and school and family!

As I pondered the week I have concluded to only try to be seven days ahead, not four years! I was so over prepared I didn't know what to do with myself and then it dawned on me that I could work ahead. I learned I could even test ahead if I'm prepared. And I just may do that because who knows when life is going to show up again!

Listen in to hear how my family has handled the transition!

the complete organization cycle. Over the next four years, I will share week by week

what I am continually decluttering to free up my time and space. How I am organizing my

days, my responsibilities, and my work both seen and unseen as I take captive every minute

0:55.1

at my discretion to increase my capacity and productivity and pursuit of a PhD in psychology.

1:02.2

So that I can have a seat at the academic table in the discussion of how we use our homes

1:08.6

and complete our housework and home organization tasks. Oh, there's the school bell. Let's

1:17.8

see what I learned this week. Okay, I lied. I said I wasn't going to record a weekly podcast

1:26.8

for the PhD, but I think I'm going to. I'm at least going to try to. I really do not

1:32.3

like to start things at all that I cannot be consistent with. And so I mean, I've had

1:39.6

a Friday podcast for what, seven years now, seven, eight years. Once we start doing the

1:43.9

Wednesday podcast episodes, we have stayed with those consistently over time as well as

1:48.3

long as there are enough people to interview. So I don't want to start another part of

1:52.9

the podcast that I cannot maintain consistency and, but there is no way I am going to remember

1:59.0

what the first week of going back to school is like 15 weeks from now when I recap my

2:04.8

first trimester. So we'll try it. We'll see. We'll see how it goes. A couple of caveats.

2:11.2

I will be recording this in the car. So that is when I have the time. I am going from
