If you have tried again and again to get organized and it still feels hard, discouraging, or inconsistent, this episode will show you why.

Most people think they struggle because they lack willpower or skill, but the real issue is that they are approaching organizing with a hidden mindset and process mistakes that sabotage them before they even begin.

In this episode, I walk you through the five biggest organizing mistakes I see over and over in homes, businesses, and life. When you understand these patterns and use the simple shifts I teach today, getting organized becomes easier, more doable, and surprisingly peaceful.

Here is what you will learn:

  • Why starting from the identity of a disorganized person keeps you stuck
  • The missing step almost everyone skips: planning
  • The belief that you should feel like organizing when the time comes
  • Expecting to be good at organizing from the beginning
  • Looking at everything instead of focusing on one project at a time
  • And a little bonus: you're not celebrating your progress, which keeps you in a state of discouragement. Celebrating the gain transforms your motivation and helps you see yourself as someone who follows through.

    By the end of this episode, you will understand exactly why you have struggled in the past and how to approach organizing in a way that works for your brain, your schedule, and your identity.

    You 100% can become an organized person. These shifts will help you get there.
