🔥 The Ugly Truth About Staying Organized at Work 🔥

Staying organized at work isn’t about perfection—it’s about sustainability. In this episode of Get Organized at Work, I’m sharing the ugly truth about why organization feels so hard sometimes and how to build a system that actually works with you, not against you.

I’ll take you behind the scenes of my 10-mile race training—how I went too hard, got sick, and had to completely adjust my plan. Sound familiar? The same thing happens at work! We overcommit, overload our systems, and burn out—leaving us scrambling to start over. But what if your organization strategy could adapt instead of break down?

💡 In this episode, you’ll learn:

✔️ Why staying organized isn’t a one-time fix—it’s an ongoing process

✔️ How pushing too hard at work (just like in training) leads to burnout

✔️ Why success is like stairs—there will be highs and lows, but your lows don’t have to be rock bottom

✔️ The secret to making work organization sustainable so you’re not starting from scratch every time

If you’re tired of feeling like your systems fall apart the second life gets hectic, this episode is for you! 🎧
