Happy Thanksgiving! I am so thankful for YOU!

Did you know that you can write a note to us when you place orders with Organize 365®? I love to read them! I also love to know what some of your orders are for…they can be so random sometimes! It makes me so curious – and it makes me want to know even more about you!

As you’re listening to today’s episode, I’m probably putting up our Christmas tree. I used to put it up the Monday before Thanksgiving, when the kids were in school. I’d grab my fountain Coke, turn on holiday music, and get to work. Things have definitely changed! 

Only in America do you have Thanksgiving, followed by a bazillion days where you spend Money. We eat a lot of food and spend a lot of money! I spend an obscene amount of money on Black Friday. I couldn’t believe how much money I spent last year, but also how much I saved! I finally realized when you’re looking at your household Economy (hello food prices!) you have to figure out how to make your money go further at home.

Here’s my tip: shop for ANYTHING you need on Black Friday! 

Think of your house as a small business – when you spend money, you stimulate the economy. You are the CEO of your home; the business owner of your household. You have expenses and ways in which you can make your cashflow last longer. If you see anything that is being sold at a deep discount right now, and you know you will be using that item before March 1st – buy it NOW. Also, think about not only the gifts you can give that people want, but also the things that people need. Items like Apple watches or the Hero medication dispenser may be expensive purchases, but for loved ones who it could be incredibly beneficial to (think elderly parents) it would be a worthwhile purchase. Could you go in on big ticket items with other family members? Would it give you peace of mind or take any burden off of you (or them) in some way? You may come up with gift ideas of things that they don’t even realize that they need!

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!
