In this episode, I introduce you to Allison G. who lives with her husband, daughter, son, and a furry kid. Allison found the Organize 365® Podcast after hearing my name a few times in two other organization/productivity podcasts. Allison felt organized at work but didn't realize she wasn't at home. She kept her calendar full and leaned on being busy if she forgot anything.

In January 2022, Allison fell while skiing. That really slowed her down and plopped her on her couch for some time. She noticed all of the physical chaos in her home. Allison has been a teacher for 21 years. Listening to the other two podcasts, she understood the big picture of organization and productivity. But by listening to Organize 365®, she's been able to figure out how to apply those principles specifically to her life. Allison also turned 40 in 2022, which is one of those pivotal times in a woman's life when I tend to see them want to declutter, get organized, and be productive.

Allison got the Sunday Basket®, quickly followed by the entire system. In March of 2022, Allison was very diligent and kept up on homework and training. She started with the 1.0 slash pockets for the first 6-8 months. Then she added in the 2.0 slash pockets. Allison says she passively went through The Productive Home Solution® the first time and has started her second round. She feels the reason for her organizational success is she gave herself time and took it slow. We make all these plans and framework for work, but not usually for home. Why? The Sunday Basket® and The Productive Home Solution® gives you a framework to get systems in place at home.

After seeing results at home, of course she had to get the Teacher Friday Workbox®. She loves using the rainbow tear pad and planner for her classes. As a teacher, you could see all the paper work and books for all classes as overwhelming. You could look at your lesson plan and just see a lot of text. But when you color code them, now it's 7 categories or 7 classes. Allison raved over the layout of the products and the quality of the paper. And she can match the slash pockets to the colors on the tear pad.

Allison is no longer faking being organized, she IS organized! She has systems in place at home to find important paperwork, like the insurance policy for earrings she lost. She's been able to free up time to dream which led to her learning mahjong this past fall. Her family knows all about the Sunday Basket® even though they always call them buckets. She only wishes she'd known sooner it didn't have to be the way it was before. And she's gained so much confidence by knowing she'll finish what she starts and not using her cognitive "power" to hopefully remember things that need to get done!

Allison's advice is, "If you are motivated and excited, get going! But if you think you need time, give yourself time. "

I look into my crystal ball and let me tell you what I see. Ok, no crystal ball but I have always kind of had my finger on the pulse of the future. I have a knack for seeing what is happening and how the economy will be impacted. And of course when the economy is impacted, so is the household manager. So what do I predict?

AI is not coming for your home in 2025

Changes happen in houses last! There's a reason all of the literature I find about housework is so old. No one is studying the home and how to improve it. AI is not going to be sorting your paper or organizing your storage rooms in 2025.

Analog is the answer for information

Do you remember when the elderly had to register to get some of the first vaccines? The problem was most of them didn't know how to access the technology to set up the appointments to get the vaccine. Technology is not always best. And in an emergency situation, it's critical to have paper to back up what you know to be true so the medical community can trust what you say is true. Paper is here to stay, analog is paper and it's still the answer.

Home is where you are the safest

Disclaimer, I know this is not true for everyone. But for the most part, your home is where you decide what you want to do. Just because we can know everything instantly all the time does not mean you have to "subscribe" to it all.

You get to create your own reality

You don't have to be inundated with the news or negative messages. You can choose what feeds into your family in your home. You can switch up the algorithms on YouTube or completely get off of social media. You can choose what you eat and your routines, what you feel is right and safe for your family. It's what we can control because we can't control other people and their actions. You also get to choose where you interact with people. Maybe you attend a virtual meeting, go to yoga, date online, or you are a part of the Organize 365® community. But that's just it, we all need connection and to belong to a community of like minded people.

Changes are going to keep coming faster and faster

We can set our own pace at home, but the speed of information at our fingertips is just going to keep coming faster and faster. Originally I was going to say this means we need to make decisions faster, but do you know where decisions come from? They come from knowing what you want. When you know what you want, you can make a decision about something that is in line with making that thing you want to happen! Slow down and understand what you want.

Bonus: All homes will have a side hustle

What do you think? It will be interesting to see if I was right on any of these at the end of 2025.

In this episode, I introduce you to Carrie T. who is married with two children. She has a daughter away at college and her son is still at home. Carrie travels a lot to see her daughter compete and listens to the podcast during those long drives. Carrie actually found the podcast many years ago when she was looking for organization podcasts. She loved the advice that "Your brain is working while you are listening and the solution will come to you." She valued other organizational programs, but gravitated towards Organize 365® because of The Paper Solution®.

Carrie started with a DIY Sunday Basket®. It was fine, but she couldn't find the right colored folders so she had to create labels in the color instead. She realized she was doing a lot of work for something that she could just purchase. She asked for the official Sunday Basket® one year for Christmas and dove into setting it up on Christmas day. She valued that everything was in one place. She wasn't looking for papers. She could almost always find whatever she was looking for in her Sunday Basket®. She admitted she may have over slash pocketed, but she's definitely got the hang of it now. She's looking forward to the tax write off of getting a Friday Workbox® next.

Another reason Carrie asked for the official Sunday Basket® was for the community that she desired. She loves attending the Sunday Basket® Club. She likes to attend live, but also uses the replay to pause the recording and finish each task in her time. Then she hits play and continues on. We talked a little bit about how each week you go through all of the rainbow slash pockets, but the 2.0 slash pockets don't need weekly attention. We agreed on average it takes about 90 minutes to process each Sunday. And I know about every 4-6 weeks I thoroughly go through my Sunday Basket® and that can take me about 3 hours. She also values the division of workboxes in quarter 4 for the holidays, the next year, and taxes. It's like 3 external brains for the different hats you wear as a household manager.

Carrie wishes she'd just gotten the official Sunday Basket® sooner. She has so much more peace of mind now because she knows "It's in the Sunday Basket®." With her extra pockets of time and her children getting older, she's playing with the idea of getting her pilots license. She wants to be able to fly to see her children and attend their sporting events.

Carrie's advice is, "Keep listening, and if you feel like the Sunday Basket® is the right thing to do, just do it! Do it now."

In business, this was the year in neutral! Try as I might to move forward with initiative, the universe wouldn't allow it. But I had great success in other areas!

"Lovie, Are You?"

You may be wondering how the PhD is going. Let me tell ya. I was warned that the second year is tough and it really was because the time I was giving to the PhD had to come from somewhere, right? I shared how I was dividing my time in previous episodes. But also, I traveled. Because I traveled, I didn't do my normal home reset during my break from school and it was so bothersome, I did a whole episode about it. Baby Grayson got smarter this year, too. He now knows if my car is home, I, Lovie is home. He's no longer fooled by "outta sight, outta mind." So I moved all my stuff to the office for school, too. You may have thought in the past, "How does Lisa do it all?" I humbly explained how this year, I didn't.

Purple Work That Didn't Work

All of Organize 365® worked on two purple projects for a whole 10 months, that took lots of time and money, only to have neither get fully completed. So for years I've been told I need to go to an ERP system. This was the year. We worked with an accounting firm to get things and policies in place only to have the ERP team tell us that our bank and the system don't play well together. So, I started thinking and came up with an idea. Once proposed, they said yes, I think we can use that solution to make Quickbooks work for you since we know Quickbooks plays nice with your bank. And we got to keep our super secure website. All was not lost because the company is better having gone through all of that.

And then there was our lease that was expiring. It got me looking at other spaces. I practiced driving to them like it was our new location. Kind of tried it on for size. I started dreaming of additional live events I'd like to host. They were ok, but then the cost of moving was setting in. Would our landlord extend the lease, just increase the price? They said yes, but to different terms of course. So here we are in the same building for the next four years, not moving. Again, all was not lost because we upgraded our current space and made it more functional for us for the season we are in. And stay tuned to attend some of the live events I dreamed up, like the Small Business Planning Mastermind on March 5th & 6th.

Milestones Hit in This Neutral Year

I am so excited with the milestones the company hit this year in quarter four, despite the purple projects failing. Such HUGE things!!! The podcast turned 10! The podcast is often about the Sunday Basket® in one way or another. And we say the Sunday Basket® saves people 260 hours annually. We also know that we have sold 12,000 Complete Sunday Basket®s, equating to saving "officially documented purchasers" 10 MILLION HOURS!! That is so amazing!! That's what I want, to give women back their time by delaying decision making so they don't derail themselves. And since we were going to have a party to celebrate the podcast, we decided to celebrate my award, too!

I saw Miami University was awarding Cincinnati Female Entrepreneur of the Year. With a short deadline to submit an application and three references, I didn't know if I'd have everything in time. But my instagram followers are amazing and I actually received SIX overnight! I was so surprised to be in the top 3 being considered for the award, and even more shocked to be awarded the first ever Cincinnati Female Entrepreneur of the Year! I had all female entrepreneurs stand and I accepted the award on behalf of all of us. It wasn't about who won, it was about all the women in that room being acknowledged for what they are doing and how they are growing Cincinnati.

In this episode, I introduce you to April R. She is a single mom of 5 children with a cat and dog to love on, too. April was watching someone on social media talking about the habits of people with ADHD and April identified with many. Then she came across the episodes about ADHD and naturally listened to the ones that followed. She used to think organization meant cleaning. She now knows organization means productivity.

April's proudest accomplishment as a result of learning from Organize 365® is her beloved drink station! She has a tiny kitchen and there are lots of people in the house. But April took it a step further by placing it in another room. I pointed out that also takes it away from the triangle of cooking. April repurposed a hutch she got off Facebook Marketplace. She was able to accommodate all of her children and their drink preferences. She has gotten a lot of compliments from friends, but now with her sister (who had handyman skills) she wants to take it up a notch with cabinets instead, floating shelves, and a mini fridge.

April shared a lot of lessons she's learned. Or is it one lesson applied in multiple locations? She's improved her flexible thinking executive function. She's applied the drink station organization to her work and other spaces in her home. After her success with the drink station, she invested in the Sunday Basket®. And even though she didn't use it effectively in the beginning, she was collecting in it the way she was supposed to. Then she would go through it every so often. Would you believe she found thousands of dollars just waiting in there for her? You've got to hear the episode to understand or maybe you have too!

It dawned on her how her oldest daughter had a bigger bedroom than the two that shared. So she swapped them. That also gave the older daughter, who goes to school online, a better connection to their wi-fi and more privacy. April and the girls got the benefit of sharing a bathroom space instead of just April using it, as well as the connections she's building with her two youngest as they get ready for their day together.

April also shared about how she touches base with all her kids on Sunday to plan ahead. And how she developed an A/B meal plan (with a little help from Chat GPT) for when her kids are with her and when they are at their dads. But she knew what to ask for due to what she has learned through Organize 365®.

She's been prepared for the unexpected. When hurricane Beryl was coming their way, she was able to plan ahead and be prepared to ride it out. I told her about the snow day box I developed when my kids were younger to make it exciting to have the kids home. She's realized that just because she's organized it doesn't mean it'll keep things from happening.

She has so much more joy and awareness now. She feels confident when one of the kids needs something from her and she can go get it from her Sunday Basket®. She has so much joy with the intentionality of how she's spending her time with her kids and she's so excited about the future.

April's advice is, "If you don't know if you should get the Sunday Basket®, do the drink station or just try one thing." It's true in the midst of your overwhelm of thinking you need all the systems. Just start with one thing or it seems too overwhelming to even start. All the systems are independent of each other. And as April added, then it just gets easier to add another system.

I love when the podcasters I follow do a year in review and so I thought I'd try my hand at it this year. This year was the year of renovations, like I have mentioned a few times. But when I look back collectively on all that was done in addition to the renovations, I realize how blessed I am. I had been warned the second year of the PhD was going to be hard and it was. And just for funzies, we threw in some travel and medical events too!

New Bathrooms…

We were all wide awake by the time Joey called, told us about a fizzy sound behind his toilet, but not to worry. He was going to go back to bed and would call us when he got back up. Oh no ya don't! Joey is on the third floor and we don't need a trickle down effect, pun intended. I had always had the dream to set our kids up with their first places, not knowing how but just that I'd like to. It was my dream. After considering rent, it was still the better financial decision to get Joey a condo at the height of the market. We were fortunate enough to get him one of the biggest units with a garage for his precious car. We knew there may be some renovations down the line, but they happened this year because as it turns out, there was sprinkler plumbing instead of the good stuff. It needed to be replaced.

New Living Spaces

It wasn't too long there after that I got to noticing that Grayson, while he technically fit in his converted-from-the-crib toddler bed, he didn't fit. And Grayson is of the large variety. He was 4 weeks early being delivered and came in at 8lbs. This is a large child. But do I just put in a twin sized bed? I mean, it could fit in the cubby we'd had him in. No, I decided in the long run we needed to get him a twin XL to continue to suit him for many years. But that bed wouldn't fit and at the end of the day he needed his own room. Well this scenario turned into the Money Pit; you know the movie?

One thing led to another which in the end was a bedroom big enough for two twin beds, a new kitchen, gas fireplace and gas line removed, new fridge, washer, dryer, and dishwasher. More appliances meant that if we were going to already be making a mess, we might as well make the biggest mess by adding more power to our electrical box! And now it is so nice and safe for them down there with more smoke detectors and a carbon monoxide detector. Abby said "You may not like this, but this is so nice I may never leave." That was the point. I figured after 12 months we'd be revenue neutral versus moving her to a place of her own. Money well invested.

But once Abby's kitchen was done, Greg and I really wanted a nice beautiful fridge like Abby had bought herself. So we refaced the cabinets in the kitchen and got our new fridge, only to find this one couldn't open just like our old one. So why not start another small renovation to adjust the wall to accommodate our new fridge?

And Life, Oh My!

But if your grandchild isn't moving for a while, you get them a playset for the backyard. Which of course meant a new fence! Got to keep the coyotes out and Grayson in. We managed to squeeze in a trip to England and a few other travel adventures. And then little baby Grayson had a few allergic reactions. That meant a few hospital visits and red allergy stickers all over the house to avoid more trips to the hospital.

But that's all. LOL We had a full and busy year, can't wait to see how we will thrive in 2025!

In this episode, we're catching up with Monique H. who was a long standing Organize 365® member who went to work for that same community and has run the Sunday Basket Club for the last 7 years. Monique has so many fun projects in the works and we really wanted to talk about exploring new opportunities and reinventing yourself…what's holding you back?

Monique and I connected on a trip to a conference. Being in the car for a while gave us the opportunity to dive deep into each other's lives and realize we were going through a lot of the same things. It's funny how due to life circumstances you can be in a room full of people and still feel lonely. And we agree that's what the Organize 365® communities offer, the opportunity to connect and know you aren't alone in your "hard." The opportunity to connect with other people experiencing your same struggles and find solutions.

There is something about a face-to-face conversation and I desperately wanted that for Organize 365®, but I also knew what you do for one you have to do for all. In anticipation of Organize 365® growing, I knew not to offer that. I find myself having more authentic conversations when I know I'm not being recorded for, I don't know…a podcast. My biggest struggle with offering face-to-face services was that my family needed me frequently. So when Covid made us all go virtual, it opened the door to explore the effectiveness of online offerings; it started with Monique leading a paper organizing retreat. What we found was some people didn't have the ability to travel and they felt thankful and included by being able to attend virtually. We have been fortunate enough to fully develop each product line through online offerings.

Monique has gone through many iterations during her career as an organizer. When she moved to Nashville, she decided to stop offering in-home organization. We talked about how different phases of life can change your bandwidth and with growth our desires of what we want to do for work changes. And as you are coming up with new services or products, it is so important we all remember our value. Like every time you leave your house, you are trading money for time with your family. Make sure it's worth your family's time for you to be gone. And over the years you have gained skills that are valuable. Monique gave permission to us all to pull out skills from our toolboxes that we have used and offered in the past. And that's exactly what she's up to now!

She's offering organization as a certified paper organizer. No shame in her game and no explanation needed. If it has made you money in the past and people still need or want it, pick it back up! Don't let the things we have to maintain like our houses be a barrier to following your dreams. Monique stressed the importance of building the plane while you are flying it. Create, get feedback, iterate, repeat. It doesn't have to be perfect! She's helping other women to realize this through her coaching services. She's helping women to see success with consistency in their actions in business and life. Get organized with Monique or any of the other certified organizers in the Organize 365® directory.

This time of year we have a lot on our plates and a new perspective can always be helpful. I recorded this episode to give examples of what I presume is happening in all households, but in our minds we conjure up a totally different scenario. In this episode, I am talking about the homes with a married couple with children, which I realize is a small population, with lessons that anyone can apply to life.

Failed Delegation

I think it's fair to say that no one is doing nothing in the house. Some people do less, like in my family, but my little Lisa heart is happy doing all the things, even at home. But when I do feel my capacity waning, I decide to delegate or delete since I know I can't get it done. The other day Greg said, "You do a lot, let me do something for you. How can I help?" So I gave him a couple of small tasks and he asked for more. I thought I was giving him the task of getting the fence installed, but Greg thought it would be a collaborative effort. Then things were lost in communication or lack there of. The fresh perspective here is, if you delegate, delegate the whole task otherwise you end up micromanaging to ensure the task was completed!

Motivational Shift

In my studies I have come across this Self Determination Theory by Ryan and Deci. It explains the 6 levels of motivation. I chose Sunday dinner at our house to show the shift from Amotivation (total lack of motivation) up 4 levels to Integration Motivation (meaning in congruence of goals.) When we started family dinner at our house, Greg was the cook and I felt obligated to help with some aspect of the meal (AKA Introjection Motivation - do it for approval of clothes-guilt). I would help with the salad and rolls thinking about how much the meal cost us and do the dishes because that's how it was when I was a kid. Whoever didn't cook, cleaned up.

Over time, it has become something that is a part of our family. It's weird if due to a trip or another reason, we don't have Sunday dinner. It's like something is missing. At Sunday dinner I take care of the salad and rolls. I then clean up the dishes and get dessert ready. Identification Motivation - I do the salad, rolls, and dishes because you identify as the person in the family that does those things. My motivation changed.

Not too long ago, I was blissfully washing dishes after Sunday dinner. My heart was so content with gratitude. It wasn't because I got to wash dishes. It was because Sunday dinner started earlier due to a football game. We had appetizers on all the fun dishes we've collected over the past couple years. Grayson and our dog get so excited when Nana, Greg's mom, comes over. I was washing the dishes we used to dish out the meal that Greg had cooked and it made him so happy. It's great to have our children join us and sometimes their friends will join us, too. We all look forward to it and it's rewarding to everyone. I now experience Integration Motivation, meaning it's in congruence with our family's (or a group's) goal. Our family's goal is Sunday dinner.

As the household CEO, there's always something to do. You need to decide to do it, delegate it or delete it. I'm always trying to gain perspective on why I do the things I do. I'm a fan of longevity and significance. I ask myself what is the significance of this task? How does it help others? Is it necessary? When I consider these questions I can make the decision on what to do about the task at hand, like going to the grocery store, delegating new tasks to a family member, or helping with Sunday dinner. It'll give you a new perspective on that task!

In this episode, we're back with part two of the conversation with my sister, Emily Kelly. The Kelly girls were known for providing good service. We knew good etiquette from all the parties mom threw and the ones we attended with mom and dad. I wanted to babysit for all the party going parents and Emily wanted to execute the parties they were attending. We didn't have a lot of toys. Our mom paid us for 50 cent words (IYKYK, otherwise listen to the full episode) and took us on a lot of learning experiences. We weren't your average kids. We were pretty mature. We learned from an early age about entrepreneurship and business. It's really no surprise that today we are entrepreneurs.

As we mentioned in part one, EMK Incorporated has been reignited and provides household managerial support. To get started again, Emily shared that she made flyers for her condo complex and advertised in their newsletter what services she could offer. Then she worked on contacting her networking list. You could hold workshops at the library or speaking opportunities for people to get a quick win, like get some paper organized. Then you can explain that you do more. People know who you are and are more comfortable continuing to do business with you. Emily didn't promote her services on social media and you don't have to either. She pointed out to let people know what you have to offer, have conversations about how you could help them, and let them know you will be there to help them when they are ready. She recognizes the emotional component to paper organizing and wants them to be ready. And due to her empathy and excellent results, she continues to get referrals and calls from people who are ready.

It was funny when Emily started to tell me everything she's been doing, I said "That's The Paper Solution® Certification!" And as we think about that certification, I want you to think, are you short on time or money? If you say time, then think about what you could hire out to give yourself back some time. You can check the Certified Organizers on the Organize 365® website. If you say money, what tasks as a home manager are you already doing that you enjoy, that you could offer to do for someone else? That's what Emily did when she offered to organize people, when she offered to watch their dogs, when she offered to make their scrapbooks. Eventually, you could get certified and listed on the Organize 365® directory to get more clients. And as I pointed out, the Baby Boomer generation will be needing help with their paper as they age. And Gen X with fewer siblings and it being a small population compared to the generation before and after, will need help too.

I'd love for the people who need help to easily access help through the directory. And people who need to make money, to help them get their paper organized. Click on the link below to check out the Professional Organizer's Think Tank Podcast (now located in POTT Start) to learn how I started my in-home organizing business so you can get started, too. I just have this vision, wouldn't it be cool if it was common to have paper organizing workshops or retreats going on all over the nation all the time? It's your time to get certified and use your skills to do what you are uniquely created to do.

I’m  super excited to announce a tiny baby step we have been able to take at Organize 365®. This coffee chat explains all the hoops we have jumped through to get this accomplished. If you are international, you can now participate in Planning Day for Home or Work or Both! We’ve been testing the direct shipping process and have had great success with the planning day workbooks. 

You guys…something changed in 2019 and we have been working behind the scenes since then trying to make headway on shipping our products directly to you instead of through a parcel forwarder. And it’s pretty quick. We are so excited to have you join us for Workbox Planning Day at the beginning of December and Home Planning Day at the end of December. 

We have been having conversations with all kinds of shipping companies trying to avoid extra shipping costs. As of right now, if your country is part of UPS World Wide, you will go to international planning day to purchase work or home. You will also be able to purchase the subscription which will save you 20%. 

I am so excited! I hope you are so excited! We are working with UPS World Wide and I have listed the 50 countries that can participate in the upcoming Planning Days in December!!!

This is just the beginning! We are excited about being able to ship even more items in 2025!
