Are you ready to plan your next 120 days with me on Planning Day? It’s time to dream about what is possible, not for the whole year! That is overwhelming and you never know how life is going to change.

Don’t miss the seminar on the 24th where I am going to share my thoughts on things like the food chain and oil prices because these things can affect your next 120 days. My hope is that it helps you to better prepare for Planning Day and all the projects you are considering. And what Golden windows are coming up for you? Are you going to have a window of time where you could conquer a meaty goal? I want you to already be thinking about this. Do you have a milestone birthday or maybe a big anniversary for you or your parents? By planning, these important events get the time and attention they deserve. You get to celebrate them as you want instead of throwing something together when you are surprised by it.

I want you to start thinking and dreaming now. You prep for the cleaning lady and you need to prep for Planning Day. Prep will be April 30th. If this is your first time hearing about Planning Day, then I want to encourage you to get a system in place for planning. You have the Sunday Basket for weekly planning and Planning Day is the system for trimester planning. So to prep, you can start filling in holidays and things that happen routinely during summer in your workbook. You will bring all of this to Prep Day for Planning Day. Prep day is two hours for you to move paper to your binders, think ahead to what awaits in the next 120 days, work on your calendar box, and your tear sheets.

Then we dive in on May 1st for four glorious hours to evaluate your time, establish routines you’d like to try, and get a plan in place for the next 120 days. I find when I set my sights on one goal I accomplish it and it allows me to focus on a bigger goal, a more impactful goal. In this episode, I went through page by page of how I guide you through the workbook. This episode is all about what to expect during Planning Day and food for thought now about what you will write in your workbook on May 1st. Your weekday time is very different than your Saturday time and Sunday time. You may think you have no time for project, Personal Development, or organizing but Planning Day will reveal pockets of time where you get to choose what you will do with that time. We look at your available time in about 4 different ways. And I get you thinking about summer food, cleaning, and laundry. You may have never thought about it before but summer energy and activities change up our food, cleaning and laundry. I will talk a little but then you have time to think and then take action. Fill in your workbook with what you think you want to try this next 120 days and plan for upcoming events. Welcome to the productive people club because this is how productive people think and accomplish their goals. See you on April 30th!!

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!
