In this episode, Jason Schroeder breaks down why personal organization is the foundation for success in construction leadership, not a "nice to have." He explains how a simple, reliable system helps you stop forgetting tasks, stop becoming a liability to the team, and start showing up prepared, calm, and effective. You'll hear how personal organization connects directly to working fewer hours, protecting your family time, and becoming the kind of leader people can trust. If you've ever felt behind the eight ball, this one will give you a practical path forward.

What you'll learn in this episode:

· Why "people who forget and need reminders" become a liability, and how to avoid that trap

· How to build a personal system that captures everything and clears your brain so you can think and lead

· Why your to-do list must be in one place you reference multiple times per day, not scattered across devices

· How a morning routine + time blocking + weekly work planning work together to create consistent results

· Jason's challenge: create a to-do list, build a morning routine, and tie it into your weekly plan so you win the day

If you're serious about leading well, what's the one change you'll make today so you stop "hoping you remember" and start running your day on purpose?
