What have you thought of this series so far? At the beginning of this episode, I recapped economic stages 1-5. It’s important to understand them and how to advance if you’d like. But also if you find that your economic stage was once 4 and you are back to 1, you are not alone. It can happen to anyone and honestly I think all of America is in stage one, trying to reduce expenses to match their income. The Economy changed which affected our small business AKA our homes. It’s important to understand and own the economic impact our home has on the global economy. Thinking about stage 6 shoul…

Happy 7th Birthday to the Sunday Basket®, let’s all break out in song. Just kidding…I am so excited to tell you the Paper Organization Certification course is 20% off till April 1st. Once you have finished the certification and get your license, you can charge for your services and receive 30% commission on products you sell.   Once upon a time I was a very frustrated mama. Joey was only 6 months old and Abby was 2. Lil Joey didn’t like to nap very long and I had a pile of actionable papers but no time to go through them much less accomplish anything. One night the Sunday Basket® was…

Today on the Connections Episodes from Organize 365®, I’m talking to Corie Weathers, author of “Military Culture Shift”. Once Corie was married she and her husband desired to invest in marriages, in a private practice. That was until he decided to pursue being a chaplain in the Military. And so began a life long adventure of serving and PCS’ing with two boys. Corie is currently gearing up to PCS soon and vulnerably shared how she feels about it.  Corie’s strength is not in adjusting to change. As a therapist, Corie advises others to adjust their expectations and look for the things…

You have found pockets of time to make a little extra money here and there. Now you are enjoying making the extra money and even are relying on it. This new stream of income is usually a little unconventional in the sense that it’s not W2 work. Your family loves how flexible it is because you are still available for them and there’s extra money. You are challenged by how flexible it is. You still have all of your previous responsibilities but now you the additional ones the new stream of income demands too. It’s time for a “reorganizing of the company.” Just the Facts This is just th…

In this episode, Lisa J. and I sat down to recap the Small Business Mastermind;  If you remember,  she owns a farm in Australia. Lisa J.’s farm and life has been improved by the products and systems from Organize 365®. When she heard there was an in person opportunity to work with me, she jumped on the opportunity!! Lisa J. was also excited to be in a room with like minded accomplished women but what she didn’t expect to walk away with was so much more self confidence in business. I put out a survey asking the attendees what they were hoping to learn. Glad I asked because I was on the w…

You’re a business owner - Congratulations!!  In stage 4, there needs to be a mindset shift. You are no longer just doing this little side hustle, you are an entrepreneur! I will never forget when a  friend said to me that I was a home organizer. That was it!! The common thread of all my side hustles was some aspect of home organizing. But I identified as a stay at home mom. However, she was right and that’s when my mindset shifted because now my unique talents had an identity. Did you know that 39.1% of all businesses are owned by women? Those women, on average, are 42 and have been in b…

One of the inspirations for me to pursue my PhD was “The Secret of Home Economics” by Danielle Drelinger and I got to interview her for this episode. Danielle and I were able to discuss some of the topics but, honestly, you gotta read the book!!  Danielle wanted to write this book, because she covered Education as a journalist. She knew she wanted it to be about education, include all races, all genres, all economic classes, and cover history. Thus was born “The Secret History of Home Economics”! Origins of Home Economics Pre World Wars  The first thing I wanted to discuss was the ro…

In stage 2, you were starting to think about small pockets of time that you could make random amounts of money because there isn’t enough income to cover the expenses that you have reduced as much as possible. There may be something that has become more steady and you are making more than $600/year. This is a Schedule C on your taxes, where you submit a 1099 or claim the money earned. In 2009, I had 11 schedule C’s that I eventually combined under one LLC.   Do You Like Chicken Cacciatore? I do! My mother-in-law gave me her recipe. I found I liked to bake it a little differently than her…

In this episode, I introduce you to Kim B. who just celebrated her 44th wedding anniversary!  Kim and her hubby have lived in their farmhouse for the past 35 years. Her daughter is all grown up and busy raising 4 young daughters of her own. When her daughter told her about Organize 365®, Kim was all ears. Kim has always been organized but always open to ways of more efficiency.  In April of ‘21, Kim retired. We talked about that transition. There are no good sources or guides to tell us what to expect in these times of transition. Kim has stayed very busy with helping on the farm, watchin…

Ok now it’s time for Swiss Cheese Organizing Family Edition, this Friday, February 28th @ Noon EST!  It’d mean a lot to have you attend live but there will be a replay. By attending live you will have the opportunity to ask any questions. Swiss Cheese Organizing in any home or business is ineffective. Just like I taught in the business edition webinar, the order in which you organize is way more important than the time you invest in organizing. And even more so with children under foot. Children provide a very unpredictable variable to life and how long your spaces stay organized.  I’m…

You are in stage one but you have decreased your expenses as much as possible and still there’s too much month left at the end of the money. What do you do? Hello Stage2. You start to look for small pockets of time when you can make random amounts of money. You want to increase your income but you are not yet ready to commit to a part time job of sorts.  Profit and Loss In business, you do a monthly check of profit and loss. How much did your business make, how much did your business spend, and are you in the green still? You do not have a budget because business fluctuates month to month. …

You know how you hear people, on the Wednesday Transformation episodes, say to just get the Sunday Basket® instead of DIY? Yes, it’s because of the mindset that comes with the purchase. The basket is simply the school supply. And it’s the same for the Friday Workbox®.  You may be thinking you have the Sunday Basket® and it’s the same as the Friday Workbox®, right? Wrong. With the Friday Workbox® the slash pockets mean something different, you get access to the online dashboard and course for the Friday Workbox®, and the co-working time every Friday much like the Sunday Basket® Cl…

Is color coding just busy work?  We were curious if there were any studies to back up our stance that color coding helps with learning. Anna found a few and she’s here discussing them with me. Do you think in color? Anna and I do! We did a quick response activity where Anna said a color and I responded what I associate with that color. The Organize 365® products are colorful but not without intentionality.  Color Coding Helps with Recall Teachers often color code subjects. When you are looking for supplies for their class you know to look for the designated color of items like a folder. W…

In this episode, I introduce you to Tami T. who is married with two children at home. A few years before the pre-pandemic, Tami was doing a lot of driving for her work teaching private (band) lessons in schools. It took Tami about a year to listen to all of the Organize 365® episodes. Tami invested in the Whole Home program that we now know as The Productive Home Solution.  Tami would watch the videos beforehand and listen to episodes, while driving, about the specific space that was next in the program. By the time she got home she knew exactly what she wanted to do in that space. It dawned…

I’m excited to announce that there will be a webinar on Friday the 14th @noon EST for Swiss Cheese Organizing Business Edition. Love is in the air—and what better way to show your business some love than by getting it organized?  You’ve heard me talk about Swiss Cheese Organizing for home, and now it’s time to bring that same magic to your business. The order in which you get tasks accomplished is more important than the amount of time you spend on tasks. I’m going to talk about your ideas and projects, your initiatives, your administrative role and responsibilities, end of quarter/…

Last year, two of our key leaders and I attended a Dave Ramsey Summit. This is how I have gotten some of my best CEO training. I really think about the topics the speaker is bringing up and think of Organize 365® and have I implemented something similar? Have I done that thing? Or maybe is that idea an improvement we should consider? It was great for us to be hearing the same information at the same time and be able to discuss. We even changed our Monday morning meeting a little to catch our staff at a better time of day. And then I thought “Is there anything I need to add to our values?”…

As many of you know, following one organizer will bring you to another. In fact, that’s how some of you ended up in my community. So many of you reached out suggesting Kendra Adachi with The Lazy Genius podcast for an interview for the Monday Connections episodes. Thank you so much for the recommendation and we had an insightful conversation.   Lazy Genius Kendra Adachi was a perfectionist to the extreme. She was teacher’s pet, valedictorian, and voted most dependable by her peers. In 2015, she started a Lifestyle blog. The podcast, The Lazy Genius, followed not even a full year later. S…
