Running your household is a full-time job. And most of us are winging it. This week, Mike welcomes Lisa Woodruff, founder and CEO of Organize 365 and host of the top-rated podcast Organized 365 with over 24 million downloads.  Here's the scoop: 87% of Americans believe organization is a learnable skill, yet fewer than 18% actually feel organized. Lisa is here to fix that, breaking down why the household is a real business and why so many of us feel buried by it. Lisa shares her rock bottom story of being told she wasn't a good teacher, quitting the next day, and accidentally building a company that has helped thousands reclaim their time. She walks through the early years of in-home organizing, the iterations that led to her courses, the patented Sunday Basket system, and why she stopped doing the boots-on-the-ground work to scale her impact. The conversation also gets practical. Lisa hands listeners two exercises anyone can start tonight: the index card brain dump that frees up working memory, and the 10-minute next-day plan that turns a reactive life into a proactive one. She digs into how a disorganized home tanks business performance, why creativity requires a clear canvas, and why getting organized is an 18-month to 3-year journey, not a weekend project.   Resources Mentioned in This Episode: Organize 365 Website  The Sunday Basket  Organized 365 Podcast   Connect with Lisa: Instagram   Connect with Mike: LinkTree SPONSORS: Social Chameleon | Transform Your Podcast Want to become a show sponsor or affiliate?

How to get organized often feels impossible when you're already mentally and emotionally overloaded. For many midlife women, organizing isn't just about clutter — it's about exhaustion, pressure, and the quiet belief that they're somehow "behind." That belief alone can keep you stuck far longer than the stuff itself. In Episode 258 of Pursue Your Spark, How to Get Organized Without Feeling Behind, I sit down with professional organizer and coach Tracy Hoth to shift the entire conversation around organization. Instead of chasing perfection, Tracy offers a realistic, relieving definition of organization: knowing what you have and being able to find it when you need it. That's it. No color‑coded bins. No Pinterest standards. Just systems that support real life. We talk about why so many women label themselves as messy or disorganized, and how identity-based habits shape results. When you believe you're disorganized, your brain looks for proof — and keeps creating it. Tracy explains how small mindset shifts can change that pattern and open the door to lasting change. She also introduces her practical 5‑step SPACE method — Sort, Purge, Assign Homes, Contain, Energize — a step‑by‑step approach designed for busy women who don't have time for marathon cleanouts. We explore why 15‑minute decluttering sessions work better than big plans, how clutter tolerance differs from person to person, and how emotional clutter can quietly anchor us to past identities. If you're searching for organizing tips for women that actually work, this conversation offers simple organizing habits you can start immediately. Whether you're trying to organize your home, your digital life, or reduce mental overwhelm, this episode reframes how to get organized as a series of small, empowering wins — not a finish line you're failing to reach.

Taylor is joined by certified professional organizer, author, and organizing industry leader Robyn Reynolds to explore the hidden financial, emotional, time, and energy costs of clutter.

Together, Janet and Robyn discuss how understanding the real cost of clutter can motivate meaningful change and help individuals create systems that support organized, intentional living. In this episode you will learn: • The true hidden costs of clutter beyond space and money • How clutter impacts time, productivity, and mental energy • Why emotional attachment keeps people stuck • The financial consequences of storage units and duplicate purchases • Simple habits that prevent clutter from building up • Practical mindset shifts that make letting go easier Guest: Robyn Reynolds Founder, Organized 2 Harmonize Author: What Is Clutter Costing You?

Award-winning leftist editorial cartoonist and columnist Ted Rall joins The Jeff Dornik Show for a candid discussion about why political movements in America repeatedly ignite with passion and then collapse without lasting impact. Drawing from Rall's latest article, “Never Mind the Democrats. Get Organized,” Jeff approaches the conversation from the right, identifying the same patterns of distraction, emotional activism, and organizational failure that plague both parties and ideological camps. Together, they'll explore why protest culture replaces discipline, why rage substitutes for strategy, and how the absence of sustained grassroots organization ensures that neither side ever delivers meaningful, long-term change.SPONSORSupermassive Black Coffee is crafted from organic, gourmet beans fire-roasted in an antique Victorian-era roaster, delivering the rich, smooth, non-acidic taste that reminds you this is how coffee was always meant to be.

Time Magazine named the “Architects of AI” its 2025 Person of the Year—and that sparks a wide-ranging conversation about how fast technology has changed everything from writing papers to planning our futures. Greg and Kristen reflect on tech evolution (from typewriters and flip phones to ChatGPT), the pros and cons of AI, and why change—while uncomfortable—is unavoidable. From there, the discussion shifts to a much bigger life transition: retirement. Should couples retire at the same time, or separately? Greg breaks down the three pillars of true retirement readiness—financial, emotional, and social—and explains why being “ready” goes far beyond the numbers. They explore identity after work, the loss (and replacement) of daily purpose, and how finding something bigger than yourself can lead to a truly fulfilling retirement. This episode is a reminder that just like technology, retirement works best when you evolve with intention.

Hey Clutterbugs! It's time for some decluttering motivation, organizing tips, and a step-by-step January roadmap so you can stop feeling behind and start taking action fast. Happy New Year, friends. Ready for a little tough love Cas (with love)? We're not doing the “new year, new you” pressure spiral, and we are not making a giant, unrealistic plan for all of 2026. We're using January as a container and focusing on one small doable decision that you can repeat—because that's how real change sticks. I'm also introducing what I'm calling the Boss Rule. If you have to negotiate with an item—debate it, justify it, imagine a future version of you who finally fixes it, paints it, returns it, uses it, or finds the “perfect system”—that item is breaking the rule. You're the CEO of your home. You don't negotiate with clutter.   #declutter #decluttering #homeorganization #homeorganizing #cleaningmotivation #januaryreset #newyearreset #lifelessons #mindset #newyearmotivation #productivity #toughlove #selfimprovement #declutteringtips #homehacks #clutterbug   Website: http://www.clutterbug.me YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@clutterbug TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@clutterbug_me Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/clutterbug_me/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Clutterbug.Me/

In this episode Joy introduces the Joy Loving Home Podcast and explains her focus on helping ADHD moms (and anyone who struggles with their home) feel confident through decluttering, organizing, productivity and mindset. She encourages listeners to reflect on the five W's — who, what, when, where, and why — before jumping into organizing and explains why "how" is less important than knowing who and what you're organizing for. Joy shares examples, including a diamond-painting analogy, and invites listeners to identify their own five W's as homework. She offers ways to connect — email, Instagram, and a free community — and promises more practical guidance in upcoming episodes to build a sustainable, brain-friendly organizing plan.

Get today's deal, Organized Coach Academy, and all five Black Friday offers here → https://simplysquaredaway.com/blackfriday There is a real secret to getting organized, and it is probably not what you think. In today's episode, I share why organizing anything, your business, your home, your digital life, only works when you treat it like a project. Projects have a start date, an end date, clear steps, and a plan you follow through on. I walk you through how to plan your organizing project for Q1 using my SPACE method and a few simple habits, including color-coding your project on your calendar so every related task is easy to see at a glance. We also talk about identity, because the truth is, you cannot outperform what you believe about yourself. As Sarah Arnold-Hall says, we cannot outperform our identity. If you believe you are disorganized, you will keep recreating disorganized results. That is why, in both Organized Coach Academy and Organized Life Academy, we focus on shifting your identity before you ever organize a single file or closet. And because it is Black Friday week, today's deal gives you everything you need to set up this project with clarity and structure. Deal 3 is the Organized Coach Academy at half off (!!!) and the full project plan is already built for you. You can organize your business in Q1 or buy now and start in Q2 since you have lifetime access. If your main project next year is your home, Organized Life Academy is also half off this week and follows the same project-based approach for a full year. Join now for 2026 and get December included for free! Tune in to learn the real secret to getting and staying organized.
