Get Organized for Good with Corinne Morahan: Maximize Your Productivity, Cultivate Purposeful Habits and Have More Fun!

“Wow, I have agency and can make things actually happen for my life,” says Briggs Rolfsrud, who returns to co-host the latest episode of Conversations for Good with best friend and business partner Corinne Morahan. Today the two discuss how their individual approaches to organizing—and discover things they never knew about each other, or even about themselves. 

Of course, getting organized benefits not only us but the relationships around us. Briggs shares what she learned about setting boundaries for her newly found free time, while Corinne explains how she learned to let each family member take their own personal approach to the established routine. Briggs shares her family’s version of Corinne’s Sunday reset and the sweet reason her daughter still sometimes has trouble getting out the door in the morning. They reveal which step of the organizing process was the game changer for both of them.

Join in for an insightful conversation between Corinne and Briggs to learn how to embrace your own unique organizing style. 

Quotes

• “I didn’t know I had or needed to do anything above and beyond what came naturally. I didn’t put any thought into it at all and I think I got away with it for so long…because I didn’t have that many things that I would move around or need to find a place for, etc.” (4:02 | Briggs Rolfsrud)

“You don’t have to pass a test. Everyone can outsource,” says host Corinne Morahan on today's episode of Get Organized for Good where she discusses outsourcing household tasks, “You, my friend, are in charge.” If you're interested in taking some tasks off of your plate but are nervous about giving up control of those tasks to a professional, Corinne is here to show you how you can use that friction to your advantage–as well as to the advantage of the person whom you hire!

If, like Corinne, you are very particular about even the most minute details of your home, you need to train your housekeeper or house cleaner like you would at any other job or company. You'll learn how you balance trusting a cleaner's expertise without expecting them to read your mind or creating more work for yourself. You'll also hear about what Corinne outsources in her own home and how–with dedication and some sacrifice–she makes it all work. 

Everyone is entitled to a little help. Today’s conversation will help you to learn how you can make task outsourcing work best for you.

Quotes

• “Even if you are a stay-at-home mom and you would be the only one doing this and you don’t have a partner that would share it with you, you are still entitled to do this. If you do have a partner, you are entitled to do this. If you work outside the home, you are entitled to do this. You don’t have to pass a test. Everyone can outsource.” (3:00 | Corinne Morahan)

“The recipe for having a great day actually starts the night before,” says host Corinne Morahan on this episode of Get Organized for Good where she discusses her nighttime routine and how she sets herself up for a full, restorative and delicious night’s sleep. Like so many of us, Corinne was once an overwhelmed and exhausted mother of young kids who was trying to balance an increasing set of demands between home and work. One small change of habit started her on her way to gaining back control of her evenings, enjoying her time and replenishing her energy. Today, she’ll explain how to identify the small change you can make in your own life to help you do the same. 

Corinne's routine is another example of the balance she has learned to strike between what she calls immersive productivity and immersive relaxation. She explains how she determines her wakeup time, her task management software of choice, and the general routine she uses to set both herself and her kids up for a calm morning and an organized day ahead. She also shares her self-care routine from skincare to her reading preferences and what she puts in her bath. 

Are you ready to take your evenings back? Join today's discussion to learn about how you can enjoy your evenings again. 

Quotes

• “I used to be a stressed-out wreck at the end of the night. This was for a lot of reasons: this was before I got my house organized, I was working outside of the house and my kids were smaller. Nighttime routines with little kids is just not that fun. So, I was exhausted from working all day, I was coming home to a cluttered house, I would do all my wife duties, my mom duties, and then I would be too tired to get ready for bed.” (3:34 | Corinne Morahan)

“We are the generation who did not have smartphones growing up but now have kids with smartphones,” says Briggs Rolfsrud, COO of Grid + Glam who returns to the Get Organized for Good podcast to co-host another episode of Conversations for Good alongside Corinne Morahan. Today, the two best friends and business partners discuss their respective approaches to managing the time their kids—who range in age from seven to 14—spend on various devices and/or social media. Their parenting preferences and personalities inform their rules—-whether they set limits according to hours spent on devices, or according to the way that the devices affect their kids’ behavior. They talk about balancing screen time with school, extracurricular activities and time spent outdoors, and the nuances among TV, phones and tablets, and video games. 

In order to model healthy screen behavior, the moms found themselves having to assess their own behavior and curb some of their bad habits. Learn how they reclaimed their time from mindless scrolling, as well as Corinne’s stance on various social media—and why her kids are emphatically forbidden from using TikTok. Briggs shares the points system she set up this past summer to keep her children engaged and productive while still allowing them to enjoy their tablets and TV. Corinne shares a study which reveals a surprising attitude of kids toward their cell phones.

Join today’s conversation to hear how two Gen-X moms are raising digital natives to navigate the ever-evolving tech landscape in a way that’s healthy, safe, balanced and still fun.

Quotes

• “We are the generation who did not have smartphones growing up but now have kids with smartphones. So, the generation after us, those folks in their 20s who may be having kids now or are going to soon, they had that experience and they know, ‘I did not like having an iPhone when I was 11. It opened up to doors that I was not ready to have opened yet.’ So, [they are] going to restrict their kid until they are whatever they felt, in their own experience, it would have been best for them. And vice versa.” (4:45 | Briggs Rolfsrud)

“I feel like this is truly my life’s mission to get this out in the world—I want to shout it from the rooftops,” says host Corinne Morahan on this episode of Get Organized for Good where she shares the origins of her professional home organizing business and its signature offering, the Grid and Glam Home Organizing Membership. Like so many moms, she one day found herself frazzled, exhausted, overwhelmed. As soon as she decided to get her home and life organized—every single space, addressing every single pain point— every aspect of her life began to change. And once she shared her frameworks with others through bootcamps, in-person workshops and now a digital membership, she has received countless testimonials from members who’ve changed their lives for good—from the smallest wins to the most profound life changes. 

Members report that since joining Grid + Glam’s Home Organizing Membership, they have improved their marriages, had the time and energy to re-enter their careers while still being the best moms they can be and even improved their sex lives. Once you put the initial work in, Corinne explains, the amount of maintenance is so low as compared to the constant hassle and overwhelm of being disorganized. 

The Home Organizing Membership is the place for you if you want to begin living your best life, too. Join today’s episode to learn how you can enroll in the Membership at an accessible price and start getting organized for good!

Quotes

• “In that moment I sank to the kitchen floor in tears, realizing that they had done nothing wrong, it was me. I had done so many things wrong. I had become unrecognizable and that is not the mom I wanted to be; it was not the person I wanted to be.” (2:56 | Corinne Morahan)

In this episode, she’ll explain how to deal with wet clothes, dry skin and muddy boots, so that we can make the most of the season. 

Corinne will explain how she winterizes her car, keeps the kids busy on long cold days and keeps spirits up when the sun goes down increasingly earlier. Learn how you can keep your pantry stocked to avoid having to dash out in the cold and how to support your community while decluttering your own home.

Are you ready to make your home a cozy winter haven? Join Corinne on today’s episode to learn more.

Quotes

• “If you live in a colder climate, or a climate that gets cold in the winter, winter items like winter jackets and snow boots are coveted items in shelters. So, you can feel really good about donating to them.” (3:27 | Corinne Morahan)

“You’re not helping yourself by focusing on perfectionism, you’re not going to get where you think you’re going to go,” says host Corinne Morahan on today’s episode of Get Organized for Good. Like so many of us, she has suffered under the illusion of this false belief system that, to paraphrase researcher Brene Brown, if we just do everything perfectly we can avoid painful feelings. We waste precious time chasing an ever-retreating end point. We operate at the level to which our limiting beliefs regulate us. We say scathing things to and about ourselves and start to believe other people are thinking and saying the same about us. 

Clearly, perfectionism is getting us nowhere. To help us shake it off, Corinne shares some of what she does to keep it from creeping back into her life—especially as the world continues to become a more stressful and scary place. She explains how she’s learned to redirect all of that perfectionistic energy into creating, having fun and nourishing the spirit—with no expectations. 

So, let’s get messy! After all, no one’s perfect. 

Quotes

• “Perfectionism is different from the pursuit of excellence, which I think is amazing, and I feel like I am always in a pursuit of excellence, and I think that is great. But that is different from being perfectionistic, where you are trying to be just perfect, look perfect, do perfect, say perfect. You can’t live like that. It’s no way to live.” (4:51 | Corinne Morahan)

“Maybe you fit squarely in one of these five categories, maybe you are a combination of all of them, or maybe you are something else completely,” offers host Corinne Morahan about the five major categories of relaxation and which one—or more—you fall into. As we get more organized, we naturally find ourselves with more free time and may be lost as to how to fill it—or worse yet—feel pressured to fill it with productivity for productivity’s sake. Instead, Corinne encourages you to take the time to figure out how you best like to spend your downtime and embrace those activities that make you feel content, peaceful and recharged. 

You may love staying home, curled up watching old reruns, or you may like to go out to dinner and a movie with friends. Perhaps you’re more likely to be found sweating it out in the gym, hiking in nature or reading a new book while sipping a latte in a cafe. You just may be a combination of two or more of all of these types, and you may have a category all your own. 

Learning to relax—and learning to allow ourselves to enjoy it—can take some time and adjustment. The more we pay attention to what truly makes us happy, the more we can make the most of our new well-earned downtime.

Quotes

• “If you are doing all this work to relax and then you can’t even relax, it’s very demotivating, and I want us to be able to really enjoy the fruits of our labor—not that you have to earn relaxation, you absolutely don’t—but I know most of you in my world are on an organizing journey, or you’ve already gotten organized and you’ve found yourself with all this extra time and you need someone to help you relax.” (2:03 | Corinne Morahan)

“My expectation is to have very little expectation,” says Briggs Rolfsrud, COO of Grid + Glam who joins host Corinne Morahan on the Get Organized for Good podcast for another installment of Conversations for Good. Today they discuss back to school routines and how to put systems and frameworks in place in the mornings and evenings so that everyone—parents and children alike—get their needs and goals met with the least amount of stress. They talk about how goals and routines change over time, how to pick and choose your battles, and how to get everyone out the door in the morning—without forgetting their lunch. 

They draw on the concept of immersive productivity which Corinne introduced in her most recent episode of Get Organized for Good, whereby instead of merely adding more tasks to a to-do list for the purpose of checking them off, we focus on what we and our children truly want and need in the big picture. Not only does this put everyone in better alignment with each other it can turn dread, drudgery and obligation into exciting steps toward the future. Briggs explains how she learned to stop feeling pressure to include activities in her kids’ routine that they didn’t really want or need and instead allowed everyone to carve out more space and time for themselves.

The fun and laughter between Corinne and Briggs is contagious. Join in to share their relatable trials and triumphs as they prepare their kids to meet another school year filled with intention, productivity as well as joy and confidence. 

Quotes

• “In my experience, I feel like the biggest hurdle to that is mindset, which we talk about all the time, being willing to accept that it’s a process to get them to a place where they will do the things they need to do, and that it’s not their fault and that we don’t need to just be mad about it every day. We have to accept that, ‘I can fix this and I will fix this and it’ll become a morning routine that I actually enjoy and they can feel good about and that is possible.’” (11:51 | Briggs Rolfsrud)

“We are not winning a medal for checking the most tasks off our to-do list,” says host Corinne Morahan. As she explains on this episode of Get Organized For Good, we can actually become so addicted to the thrill of completing tasks that we fail to actually move the needle in any major way in our working lives. What’s more, so much focus on productivity and achieving our goals can keep us from enjoying life and being present for the small precious moments of everyday life. To help us create the right balance, Corinne introduces the concepts of immersive productivity as well as immersive relaxation. 

Learn how to determine which tasks truly need your attention and which you can outsource and how to embrace what truly makes you happy, without anything hanging over your head. She’ll explain the concept of completion bias and how our need for efficiency can actually hold us back. 

Life is made up of small, precious moments. Join today’s episode to learn how you can learn to make the most of them while achieving your big dreams. 

Quotes

• “How many of us feel guilty when we are doing nothing? When we are not being super-productive? I don’t want that for us.” (1:22 | Corinne Morahan)
