554 - Planning Work Responsibilities for the Rest of the Year

At 40 I knew it was “time to start my company.” But what company should I start? I started simple and have grown with demand. Everyone is working all the time and no one has time to plan. You also don’t have the time NOT TO. You still have to put in the hours - so you can spend the time working on current projects, or reflecting on what you were doing. It’s still work.  The thing is, no company or no one employee will do this perfectly, and no one actually has the time - you have to just d...

553 - Planning Household Responsibilities for the Rest of the Year

The Barbie Movie  Have I mentioned I like to plan? It’s like a never ending mental puzzle. I’ve become really skilled at manipulating my time like Lego bricks; I move it around, expand it, replan it in my brain before taking action. This got me thinking: “How can I explain Planning Day to someone who’s never heard of Organize 365®?” It made me think of a few silly examples, like the Barbie movie. Did you see it? OR did you see a lot of other people talk about seeing it and start thinking m...

In today’s episode, Expanding Your Productivity: Productive People Part 2, I discuss how the next step on my productivity journey was very much an inside job.

541 - The Uniqueness of Your Personal History

When you put it in this context, it becomes very clear that you should absolutely prioritize your summer experiences! In today’s podcast, I have some questions for you about your summer plans!
