Summary
Welcome to the newest Wednesday Podcast! On Wednesdays, I get to talk with members of the Organize 365 community as they share the challenges, progress, missteps, and triumphs along their organizing journey. You can see and hear transformation in action. I look forward to helping YOU get Organized!
This week I am sharing my conversation with Sarah K. She lives with her husband and two of her adult children. Sarah shares how she tamed the paper monster! She used to dread her husband asking for a receipt or important paper, but not anymore. She went from 13 (yes, 13!) file cabinets down to 1/2 a desk file drawer and organized binders. Now she can find the papers she needs for her family, her home, and her rental properties quickly and easily in her Sunday Basket®, Business Workbox®, and The Paper Solution® Binders. I also love how organizing became a family project for this tight-knit former homeschooling family.
What resonates with YOU about Sarah's story? Are you dealing with medical issues in your family or drowning in paper?
I am grateful that you are reaching out to share your stories and progress with me and with the Organize 365® community. If you are ready to share your story with us, please apply at https://organize365.com/wednesday

| 0:38.7 | to find out how did you first find organized 365? Oh, it's a long story. So I'll make it really |
| 0:44.7 | short. January of 19 Marie Kondo. I think that's her name. She did a Netflix series and my husband |
| 0:54.0 | and I binge watched it because it's January and we live in Wisconsin. So it's cold. So we just |
| 0:58.8 | watch that. And he's like, let's do it. And I'm like, let's do it. So we started and we did great. |
