I look into my crystal ball and let me tell you what I see. Ok, no crystal ball but I have always kind of had my finger on the pulse of the future. I have a knack for seeing what is happening and how the Economy will be impacted. And of course when the economy is impacted, so is the household manager. So what do I predict? 

AI is not coming for your home in 2025

Changes happen in houses last! There’s a reason all of the literature I find about housework is so old. No one is studying the home and how to improve it. AI is not going to be sorting your paper or organizing your storage rooms in 2025. 

Analog is the answer for information

Do you remember when the elderly had to register to get some of the first vaccines? The problem was most of them didn’t know how to access the Technology to set up the appointments to get the vaccine. Technology is not always best. And in an emergency situation, it’s critical to have paper to back up what you know to be true so the medical community can trust what you say is true. Paper is here to stay, analog is paper and it’s still the answer.

Home is where you are the safest

Disclaimer, I know this is not true for everyone. But for the most part, your home is where you decide what you want to do. Just because we can know everything instantly all the time does not mean you have to “subscribe” to it all. 

You get to create your own reality

You don’t have to be inundated with the news or negative messages. You can choose what feeds into your family in your home. You can switch up the algorithms on YouTube or completely get off of social media. You can choose what you eat and your routines, what you feel is right and safe for your family. It’s what we can control because we can’t control other people and their actions. You also get to choose where you interact with people. Maybe you attend a virtual meeting, go to Yoga, date online, or you are a part of the Organize 365® community. But that’s just it, we all need connection and to belong to a community of like minded people. 

Changes are going to keep coming faster and faster

We can set our own pace at home, but the speed of information at our fingertips is just going to keep coming faster and faster. Originally I was going to say this means we need to make decisions faster, but do you know where decisions come from? They come from knowing what you want. When you know what you want, you can make a decision about something that is in line with making that thing you want to happen! Slow down and understand what you want. 

Bonus: All homes will have a side hustle

What do you think? It will be interesting to see if I was right on any of these at the end of 2025.

Lisa Woodruff Founder & CEO of Organize 365®

Lisa Woodruff is the founder & CEO of Organize 365®.

Lisa, along with 87% of America, believes organization is a learnable skill. Yet less than 18% of those same Americans feel they are organized. Through The Productive Home Solution course, Lisa aims to teach Americans young and old the skill of organizing and unlocking their time for what they are uniquely created to do.

As the host of the top-rated Organize 365® Podcast (which has 17 million downloads and counting) Lisa shares strategies for reducing the overwhelm, clearing the mental clutter, and living a productive and organized life. Her sensible and doable organizing tasks appeal to multiple generations. Her candor and relatable personality make you feel as though she is right there beside you; helping you get organized as you laugh and cry together.

Under Lisa’s direction, Organize 365® has conducted academic research establishing the definitions of housework, home organization and the weight of paper in the American home. This ongoing research is making the invisible work at home visible to all. The goal is to eliminate it and free people from the monotonous tasks of daily living; and unlock their time for what they are uniquely created to bring forth in the world.

She is the author of four books including: How ADHD Affects Home Organization and The Paper Solution. Lisa’s understanding of the lived female American experience has helped her to create products & courses like the Sunday Basket®. These products and courses externalize the routine tasks that take up the executive functioning capacity of our brains; freeing us up to think and create again!
