It is so important to know the kind of tasks you have, how much time they take you, and where you need to be to complete them! Then when you look at your calendar you know where you can plug them in. After a couple weeks of this repeated activity, your brain will start to anticipate these activities and you'll be in your Pro Era. Blue Orange Purple If you are anything like I was, you have very long lists with not enough time or money to complete them all.  I started with the Sunday Basket®, identifying and categorizing with the slash pockets. Then I had to figure out where and when I could get them done.  I have my blue work which is all my weekly invisible work like calendaring, budgeting, getting ready for the next week of school (when my kids were younger), mail, you get the idea.  Then I have Orange work which is my house work like food, laundry, and cleaning.  And then I have my purple work which is a larger project, in this case errands. In order to time block your tasks, start by identifying which tasks fit into those three categories; invisible work, housework, and errands. How Much Time Do They Take & Where Do You Need To Be As I budgeted my time, I got really good at knowing how long each task would take. This made it easier for me to know how many tasks I could fit into any open block of time. I was always in the car, at a doctor's appointment, or working so I had to make the most of any "free time," once I discovered blocks of time I would write in the tasks I would do. Keep in mind that not all tasks are created equally; they require different amounts of time and different kinds of energy from you. Calendaring these blocks of time became a visual representation of the invisible work I was doing and it gave boundaries for these tasks to get completed. Once you have claimed these time blocks, protect them so you can actually get your tasks done. Obviously my orange work had to be done at my house. Pretty hard to vacuum from the soccer field.  And there is a reason that there is a portable Sunday Basket® because then you can bring your blue work with you. You can go through slash pockets in your car, at the pool, or at a doctor's office. I know, because I did! And when it came to errand day (purple work) I knew where the farthest away stops were and I started there. That way, if my kids needed to go home the remaining stops were closer to my home when I did them later. Some of you really have no free time like me when my kids were younger. I found a way to make it work and I want to encourage you that you can too. Going Pro You need to be aware of your highest productivity energy during the day.  I realized my energy is highest for physical tasks in the morning.  My body knows on Saturday morning I'm going to get a cup of coffee and soon after I almost look forward to getting all of my machines going.  Your body starts to expect these "work times." It's a cadence you have gotten your body used to, almost like muscle memory. And I know I have more cognitive energy later in the day so I used to do my Sunday Basket® in the afternoon but I have changed that to late morning now.  You have to adjust your tasks and time blocking to your phase of life. And this task stacking acts as scaffolding to our brains. Our brains love structure. The Sunday Basket® creates a weekly cycle that can evolve into a yearly cycle when you add in Planning Day and the Productive Home CEO Sessions.

Oren Michaely left private equity to build Elio Mortgage, raising $5 million to rethink how home loans get made. In this episode, he explains why Elio built its mortgage platform from the ground up, bringing loan officers and engineers together to redesign the work behind every loan. At the heart of Elio's approach is a clear division of labor: AI handles much of the preparation, such as calculating income and organizing borrower documents, while people review the results and approve decisions. Oren explains how that model could reduce the time loan officers spend navigating portals and paperwork, and give them more time to guide borrowers through the process. He also shares a glimpse of mortgage lending in 2030, when technology may reshape how originators work and what borrowers expect. Dustin Owen and Oren explore what that shift could mean for today's loan officers, how the role may evolve, and why waiting until 2030 to adapt may be too late.

What does it take to keep a constitutional republic strong for the next generation? In this episode, we discuss Michael Compton, author of Keeping the Republic: A Citizen's Guide for the Next 250 Years. Drawing from his grassroots work with Act for Missouri, Compton explores the idea that preserving America's constitutional republic requires more than elections and political leaders—it requires citizens who understand and practice self-government. The book examines constitutional structure, federalism, God-given rights, civic virtue, and the responsibilities citizens have between elections. It also provides practical guidance for becoming more engaged in government, including how to: • Evaluate legislation and public policy • Follow state and local government • Communicate effectively with elected officials • Organize with other citizens • Hold government leaders accountable regardless of political party • Move beyond simply consuming political news The book concludes with a 12-month Citizen Action Plan, designed to help ordinary Americans turn political frustration into informed, consistent, and sustainable civic involvement. Join us as we talk about Michael Compton's approach to keeping the republic through active citizenship and self-government.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/missouri-liberty-report--4329356/support.

285: In this episode, I sit down with Jeremiah Boucher, founder and CEO of Patriot Holdings, to unpack how he went from losing everything in the 2008 real estate crash to building a commercial real estate portfolio of roughly 100 properties.(Show Notes: REtipster.com/285)Jeremiah has spent more than two decades investing in alternative real estate assets, with a major focus on self-storage, manufactured housing communities, and small bay industrial properties.What I found especially interesting is how his strategy has evolved.He started in single-family real estate, got wiped out in 2008, rebuilt through mobile home park investing, expanded into self-storage, and eventually found another opportunity hiding in plain sight: small bay industrial or flex industrial space.We talk about why these seemingly different asset classes have more in common than you might think, why diversified streams of tenant income matter, and why “boring” real estate can sometimes provide a much stronger competitive edge.Jeremiah also explains how greed and FOMO influenced his decisions before 2008, and what he looks at differently today when deciding whether an opportunity is actually worth pursuing.We also cover owner financing, raising private capital, real estate funds, value-add investing, property management, manufactured housing development, and the challenges of scaling a real estate portfolio across multiple markets.If you're interested in self-storage investing, mobile home parks, small-bay industrial, commercial real estate, land development, or finding a real estate strategy with sustainable cash flow, there's a lot to unpack here.

Thought leaders have thinking time. There is a difference between remembering and thinking. Thinking is that time when you mull through all your thoughts and plans. Maybe you merge them to find a solution to a problem or see where one decision could benefit your family or home. A visionary, a thought leader takes time to think to better plan the trajectory of their organization even if it's just for their home. Mission Vision Values In 2012, after I'd been in business for 5 years, I took advantage of a 5 hour flight to CA and the returning flight to think.  It was on those plane rides that I solidified Organize 365®'s mission statement which is: Organize 365® helps you get functionally organized in one calendar year so that you can do what you are uniquely gifted and created to do.  Then I identified our values being positivity, abundance, proactivity, and that everything is easier in community.   The old theory was that it took 10,000 hours to become an expert at something.  And if we use a 40 hour work week, it takes roughly 5 years to accomplish said 10,000 hours. And I've observed that, generally speaking, every 5 year cycle we use our experiences and lessons learned and apply them to our lives. When I wrote "Escaping Quicksand", I shared all of my lived experiences to help others escape their own quicksand with the lesson and mindset shifts I've made along the way. Ain't Nobody Got Time to Think In your 20's and 30's you are so busy doing that you never really take time to stop and think. Then you hit 40 and life has gotten away from you. You put your foot down and decide to simplify life and start saying no to stuff. No to projects you don't have time for, no to people that are energy vampires, no to requests on your time. And in my 40's is when I took my life back. I wrote all about it in "Organization is a Learnable Skill". I shared all of the emotions I was going through at the time. I needed thinking time. But first I had to get my house in order.  When All Is Accounted for I Can Think I started with the Sunday Basket®. A safe place to store all my thoughts till Sunday or till life demanded I addressed them.  I hate admin work just as much as the next. But it has to get done so I can keep my car and the lights on in my house, ya know? And the Sunday Basket® helps me to exhibit delayed neglect of requests. Often, the request will take care of itself or the circumstances have changed so the request has changed. And each minute before completion of whatever the task is, is more time to think about the answer and listen to my intuition. So why do we resist the Sunday Basket®?  You may say the Sunday Basket® is too regimented or like another thing you have to do. And I hear you BUT, I'd rather have time set aside to do those things once a week than those piddly tasks taking up any of my project time or thinking time. Because I don't like that even more! So the Sunday Basket® holds everything safely for me and gives my brain peace so I can think. I know everything is completed or accounted for due to the Sunday Basket® and now I can think expansively. I love my time with me. No input from family or my team, just me, myself, and I… thinking.   EPISODE RESOURCES: The Sunday Basket® Escaping Quicksand Sign Up for the Organize 365® Newsletter  Did you enjoy this episode?

Curious? Take The Free Money Stress Quiz!Ready? Buy Our Simplified Budget System Now!Ever feel like you understand budgeting…but your actual money still feels completely out of control?Budget besties, sometimes the problem isn't that you're bad with money. It's that your money is DISORGANIZED.In this Q&A episode, we're tackling two super relatable money situations: adjusting when your paycheck schedule suddenly changes and figuring out how to organize your accounts when your spouse isn't exactly thrilled about carrying multiple debit cards.First, we're talking about what happens when you go from getting paid every other week to getting paid once a month. That transition can make you feel like you're constantly playing catch-up, even when you're actually doing pretty well. We explain why it can make sense to temporarily pause savings buckets, create some breathing room, rebuild your budget around the new pay schedule, and even ask companies to move your bill due dates.Then we get into one of our FAVORITE topics: getting rid of the giant black hole bank account where bills, groceries, gas, dining out, subscriptions, and everything else are happening at the same time.Because who has the brain space to stand in the grocery checkout line wondering, “Wait…did the mortgage come out yet?”Not us.We explain how separate accounts can give you the freedom to spend while knowing your bills are already taken care of — and what to do when your spouse doesn't want three different debit cards.Spoiler: your system doesn't have to look exactly like ours.You can create a budget that fits your actual household and still protect the bills account. Your spouse can have one spending account for their expenses while you use more detailed spending accounts if that works better for you.The goal isn't perfection.

263 (Encore): AI isn't just answering questions anymore. It's getting legitimate work done in our businesses.(Show Notes: REtipster.com/263)In this conversation with Callan Faulkner, we dig into what that means for land investors, real estate entrepreneurs, and business owners who are tired of being the bottleneck in their own companies.Since we originally recorded this episode, I've implemented several of these ideas in my own business. One AI system can take a state, county, and parcel number and hand me back a due diligence report with a satellite map—something that used to take me the better part of an hour to assemble manually.Callan explains how she's using Claude, Claude Cowork, AI skills, scheduled tasks, and more than 50 AI employees inside her business. We also talk about building an AI knowledge base for complicated real estate deals, training AI on your own land investing expertise, helping VAs make better decisions, and capturing the valuable intellectual property that's already sitting inside your head.But this isn't a conversation about handing every decision over to AI.We also get into where humans still matter most, why critical thinking may become more valuable as AI improves, the risks of giving AI access to sensitive information, and how to decide which automations and software projects are actually worth building.If you're a land investor wondering how AI fits into your real estate strategy, this conversation should give you a lot of practical ideas.

Joining us in this episode of Living Off Rentals is Dustin Heiner, a real estate investor behind several podcasts, including Master Passive Income, and the man behind Income Builder - a new tool that lets investors manage all their real estate tools in one place.

Since then, he has built systems around his portfolio and created Income Builder, a business system designed to help investors analyze properties, manage their portfolio, organize documents, and track their progress toward financial freedom. Listen as he explains why investors need to think like business owners, how to keep everything in one place, and how AI can help investors make better decisions and build systems. Enjoy the show!

What if the reason it's so hard to let go of your stuff isn't that you're disorganized—but that you're a really good storyteller? In this episode of Clutter Free Academy, Kathi Lipp brings together three of her great loves—decluttering, writing, and her longtime friend Susy Flory—for a conversation about the one skill most cluttery people are missing. Kathi's theory? People with clutter aren't bad at storytelling. Pick up almost anything in a cluttered home and the owner can tell you exactly where it came from, who gave it to them, and why it matters. The struggle isn't the story. It's the editing. Susy Flory is a memoirist, collaborator on two New York Times bestsellers, and the founder of Shake Ridge Press, a publishing house devoted to true stories by real people. Her actual job is deciding what stays in the story and what gets cut—which turns out to be exactly what listeners need to learn to do in their homes. Your Home Is Telling a Story. Is It the One You Want to Tell? Kathi and Susy talk about how a home—like a book—can get so crowded with "good stuff" that the reader (or the guest, or you) can't find the heart of it. As Susy puts it, when there's too much in a space, "it's just a pile rather than a storyteller." The goal isn't an empty house. The goal is a home where the things you kept can actually be seen. In This Episode, Listeners Will Learn: Why the object isn't always where the story lives—and how that realization makes letting go so much easier The simple, low-tech tool Susy uses to decide what makes the cut (hint: it involves a pen and paper, not a system) How to handle the inherited things that don't actually tell the story of the person who gave them to you What to do with that mishmash box of photos, letters, and journals someone left behind Why "edit one scene at a time" translates perfectly to "one shelf, one drawer at a time" How to "shop your own house" for meaningful pieces instead of buying something a thousand other people already own Kathi's seasonal rotation trick that keeps sentimental items special instead of letting them fade into background clutter Why outside validation—a safe community—matters just as much in decluttering as it does in writing Permission to Let the Good Stuff Go Writers have a phrase for this: murder your darlings. Sometimes you have to release even the really, really good stuff to get what you actually want. Kathi shares that after years of editing both books and her own home, she rarely regrets what she's let go—and Susy explains why imagination, not willpower, is the tool that finally gets you unstuck. Kathi also gets a preview of the first three memoirs coming out of Shake Ridge Press—stories of a Green Beret who decluttered parts of himself to learn to lead with love, a mom and her autistic adult son on a journey to bring his father home, and a preacher's daughter raising the rule-breaking boy who grew up to become a beloved professional wrestler. Whether you consider yourself a writer or not, this episode offers a fresh, gracious way to look at the stuff in your home: not as a moral failing, but as a first draft. And every first draft gets to be edited.

In this episode, I'm digging into one of the biggest economic questions of our lifetime: what happens when intelligence becomes cheap?(Show Notes)AI can already write, code, research, analyze documents, answer customers, create images, automate workflows, and help one person accomplish work that once required an entire team. But what does that mean for employees, entrepreneurs, investors, parents, and the future of real estate?The evidence so far is complicated. AI isn't causing mass unemployment across the economy, but there are early warning signs, especially for younger workers in jobs where AI can automate entry-level tasks. At the same time, AI is producing enormous productivity gains and giving entrepreneurs capabilities that were once available only to much larger companies.I also explore why the rise of AI could make ownership, physical assets, infrastructure, energy, and land increasingly important. AI may live “in the cloud,” but data centers need real estate, electricity, water, fiber, roads, transformers, and physical infrastructure.For land investors and real estate investors, that raises a fascinating question: instead of only asking where people are going, should we also be asking, where is the power?We'll also look at which careers may be more resilient, what parents should teach their kids, why agency and judgment could become more valuable, and the five things I'm focusing on to prepare for the next 10–20 years.

In this episode of Just So You Know, Jamie and Justina sit down with longtime activist and organizer Rachel Ejsmont to talk about the real impact of street activism, pressure campaigns, open rescues, and what it actually takes to fight for animals in public.This conversation goes deeper than surface level takes. We explore what it means to show up for animals when it's uncomfortable, inconvenient, and sometimes even risky and why being visible can create real, lasting change.We get into:• How Rachel first became active in the movement• Why she was protesting before she even went fully vegan• The connection between anti-fur activism and veganism• How pressure campaigns actually work• What goes into organizing a major march or protest• Crashing fashion events and disrupting cruelty in powerful ways• Why rescue and liberation work matter so much• The emotional toll of witnessing suffering up close• How to avoid burnout and stay grounded in activism• Why infighting hurts the movement• What makes street activism effective• How new activists can get involved and find their placeThis isn't just about protesting. It's about using your voice, your body, and your presence to challenge cruelty in real time.If you've ever wondered whether activism in the streets actually makes a difference,this episode is for you.⸻IF THIS EPISODE RESONATED

Attention difficulties, and ways to organize yourself

I want you to be able to set your sights on a few projects and actually complete them each trimester. So here's the way I get my projects identified, scheduled, and completed. I love a good project, always have.  What Are The Projects? First, let's define "project" in Organize 365® terms.  It's a massive to do list that gets done in a short amount of time.  So, for Labor Day, I shared all the things that had ended up on index cards that I wanted done on Labor Day weekend. I had garage tasks like clean off the garage counter, make room for a potential Christmas gift, drop off donations, fix the front door situation plus a few other things. Then Joey needed me to look at some stuff in his condo that I wanted to check off my list. Abby and I planned on redoing Grayson's room. And wanted to transition one of the storage areas to Abby. Those tasks were grouped into my four projects.  Be Prepared Once all of the projects were identified, I needed to make sure I had all the supplies I needed to tackle each one. Leading up to Labor Day I mentioned this too, you need to be prepared before Project Day. So for redoing Grayson's room, I thought through all of the supplies I needed and how I would get them to the house. I needed to check current supplies at the house, coordinate Greg picking up items from the office, order some pictures for the walls and bedding, and schedule the electrician to change the light fixture. It can really rob time away from your project day if you plan that day to get what you need and depending on store hours, it can really delay the project start time.  Also, a friendly reminder to start that housework early so you don't have to do that too on project day. Make Room on the Calendar It's time for calendaring!!  It's important to identify chunks of time that you will have for your projects and it's equally important to consider your usual energy at the time of those chunks.  There was one I was explaining and said "Actually I'll push that to Sunday so I can spend time with my family on Saturday." It's a good idea to mentally walk through project day and make sure it's right for you and your family.  And don't double book yourself. Don't just think you'll do the project in that chunk of time, schedule it. Write in the project on that day so you don't accidentally commit to something else at that time. You gotta budget your time like you do your finances because you really can't spend your money in two ways.  This is your way to be proactive with your time. I say you basically get 8 hours extra, not three days, when it comes to these long weekends? Here's how I broke down of the 8 hours I anticipated from Labor Day: Garage & Front Door 3.5 hrs Joey 2 hrs Grayson's Room 1.5 hrs Storage Area 1.5 hrs This is how you get deep work or projects done as a household project manager.  EPISODE RESOURCES: The Sunday Basket® Sign Up for the Organize 365® Newsletter  Did you enjoy this episode?

Joe Daniel and Daniel Chamberlain explain how to script efficient team sessions, build situational football into practice, improve pre-snap communication, simulate opponent looks, and get game-ready reps without wasting time or unnecessarily beating up your roster. 10:07 - Planning Team Periods as Culminating Event14:01 - Self Scouting to Solve Practice Problems18:05 - Coaching Off Film With Fast Feedback22:38 - Scripting Team Sessions With Seven Play Blocks24:35 - Third Down and Short Yardage Situational Practice28:02 - Scripting Special Teams Into Team Periods32:11 - Game Situations and Clock Management in Team38:35 - Defensive Formation Alignment and Adjustments41:43 - Pre Snap Communication and Checks Practice48:01 - Full Speed Team Periods to Reduce Injuries  Build Team Periods That Prepare Your Team for Game Day 1. Start With the Problem Your Practice Needs to Solve Use your self-scout to identify the biggest problem from the previous game, then make that problem the focus of the week. Every period should move players toward solving it, rather than becoming a collection of unrelated drills and plays. READ: 10 Keys To Preparing a Football Practice Plan that Wins Games 2. Build a Progression From Individual Skills to Team Execution Break the week's focus into individual skills first, then add the reads, reactions and combinations players need during group periods. Team should become the final step where those pieces come together against a complete offensive or defensive look. LISTEN: Practice Planning: Group Run Drills for Skill Progression | FBCP S21E05 3. Make the Passing Game Carry Over to 11-on-11 Progress quarterbacks, receivers and defenders from routes on air and half-field work into 7-on-7, then reconnect those skills with the run game during team. Keep the same reads and reactions throughout the progression so players are practicing what they will actually see on game day.

Give every period a defined amount of time and purpose so team periods can move quickly without players standing around. DOWNLOAD: Perfect Practice Plan Template 5. Turn Team Periods Into Game Situations Stop simply putting the ball down and running plays.

Social spaces—the areas in our homes where we gather with family and friends—are frustratingly susceptible to clutter collection. High traffic, a central location, multiple functions, and the shared character of these spaces can make them hard to keep clear. In episode #318 of The Clutter Fairy Weekly, Gayle Goddard, professional organizer and owner of The Clutter Fairy in Houston, Texas, continues our room-by-room organizing series by examining the clutter issues of living rooms, family rooms, and other spaces where we gather with family or welcome guests.Show notes: https://cfhou.com/tcfw318The Clutter Fairy Weekly is a live webcast and podcast designed to help you clear your clutter and make space in your home and your life for more of what you love. We meet Tuesdays at noon (U.S. Central Time) to answer your decluttering questions and to share organizing tools and techniques, success stories and “ah-hah!” moments, seasonal suggestions, and timeless tips.To participate live in our weekly webcast, join our Meetup group, follow us on Facebook, or subscribe to our mailing list.

U.S. brokerage and IRA accounts are spread across multiple funds, managers, and financial institutions. But having more investments does not necessarily mean you have better diversification. A portfolio can look sophisticated while still containing overlapping holdings, concentrated risk, unnecessary fees, and investments that do not work well together. Understanding what you own, why you own it, and how each piece fits into your overall investment strategy can help you build a portfolio that is easier to manage and better aligned with your financial goals. For Americans living in Israel, portfolio complexity can also create cross-border tax issues and make financial decisions more difficult for your family. Certain U.S. investments may create additional reporting requirements or unexpected tax consequences under U.S. and Israeli rules. A well-organized portfolio should provide genuine diversification while remaining clear enough for you and your family to understand. Simplifying your investments can make it easier to identify risk, coordinate your U.S. brokerage and IRA accounts, and make informed financial decisions across borders. Key Takeaways Review your real diversification. Look across all of your accounts to determine whether your investments provide different types of exposure or simply overlap. Understand every part of your portfolio. Know what you own, why you own it, and how each investment contributes to your overall strategy. Consider cross-border tax consequences. Make sure your investments are appropriate for an American living in Israel and review complex structures with the relevant professionals. Make your finances easier for your family to manage. Organize your portfolio so your spouse or family could understand the strategy and accounts if they needed to take over.

Every home has one: the collection. Maybe it's Star Wars action figures still sealed in their packaging. Maybe it's comic books, stamps, ceramic knickknacks, or twelve bins of stuffed animals from 1987. And maybe — if we're being honest — it's taking up more real estate in the garage than anyone in the family is comfortable with. In this episode of Clutter Free Academy, Kathi Lipp and Tonya Kubo continue their conversation about what happens when a collector and a clutter-free person share a home. Tonya opens up about the ten-plus year journey she and her husband Brian have walked — starting with the moment she stopped focusing on his stuff and started dealing with her own, and how seven boxes leaving the garage changed everything. Why Focusing on Their Stuff Never Works Kathi and Tonya have given the same advice for over a decade, and they're not backing off it now: as long as you're focused on someone else's clutter, you will struggle to make progress on your own. But here's the encouraging part — when you do your own work, you often create the safety and the space for the people you love to start making their own decisions. Not as a manipulation tactic. As a byproduct. Living Collections vs. Dead Collections One of the most freeing ideas in this episode is Kathi's distinction between collections that are alive and collections that are, well, not. A living collection gets displayed, dusted, talked about, handed to a kid whose face lights up. A dead collection sits in a cardboard box in the garage getting eaten by mold, bugs, and water damage. As Kathi puts it, if the thing you love is in a box in the garage, she has questions about that love. What Listeners Will Take Away Why doing your own decluttering can quietly invite your spouse or child to do theirs How to have a curious conversation with the collector in your life instead of a fight The difference between assumed value and actual appraised value — and why "worth $5,400" doesn't mean anyone will hand you $5,400 The one principle that has kept peace in the Kubo home: negotiate the space, not the stuff Why giving pieces of a collection away can be the most joyful part of collecting When a collection stops being a clutter problem and becomes a relationship conversation You Don't Have to Get Rid of What You Love Tonya shares a story from Clutter Free Academy about a member who joined convinced she'd be told to purge her beloved knickknacks — and was shocked to hear otherwise. Kathi and Tonya are not in the business of deciding what deserves space in your home. They're in the business of helping you figure out what to do when there's more stuff than space. If you've ever stood in your garage staring at boxes that aren't yours, wondering how to bring it up without starting World War III, this conversation is for you. Listen to the full episode and then go create the clutter free life you've always wanted to live.

In this 2026 Q3 market update, I'm sitting down with Neil Clements to look at what's actually happening with buyers, sellers, home prices, migration, interest rates, land investing, and the broader real estate cycle.(Show Notes)One of the biggest changes is the growing imbalance between buyers and sellers. According to the data Neil discusses, many of the markets that boomed during COVID, including parts of Texas, Florida, Tennessee, Arizona, and other Sunbelt markets, have shifted dramatically toward buyers.We also talk about why new construction is creating problems for existing homes, how the mortgage “lock-in effect” is limiting motivated sellers, and why rural and exurban land demand isn't what it was a few years ago.Then we get into the bigger question: Are we approaching the end of an 18-year real estate cycle?Neither of us has a crystal ball, and this isn't about predicting an exact crash date. The more useful question is what land investors and real estate flippers can do right now to protect themselves if prices continue moving lower.Neil explains why he's tightening his underwriting, reducing leverage, cutting stale inventory faster, paying closer attention to local market data, and becoming much more selective about the properties he buys.If you're involved in land flipping, land development, manufactured homes, house flipping, or any other short-term real estate strategy, this market deserves your attention.

Peggy continues her five-part series of predictions for 2027 by looking at how construction companies could begin treating historical data as a valuable business asset. For her third prediction, Peggy says 2027 could be a turning point as construction companies move beyond simply storing years of project information and begin using that data to inform better decisions, transfer knowledge, and improve future projects. She also encourages listeners to: · Organize and connect historical project data so it can be easily accessed and used. · Use AI to uncover patterns across past projects, including cost overruns, delays, risks, and project performance. · Capture the knowledge and lessons behind the data so experience can be shared with the next generation of workers. · Treat historical data as more than an archive and use it as a competitive advantage for future projects.  https://peggysmedleyshow.com

Love the podcast? Send us a text!Your scans came back. The portal posted results before anyone called. There are four appointments on the calendar and a vocabulary nobody taught you — and underneath it all, the feeling that you're already behind.Dr. Tiffany Troso-Sandoval spent 25 years treating women's breast and gynecologic cancers, much of it at Memorial Sloan Kettering. Her first piece of advice is the one nobody expects: slow down. Breast cancer treatment is urgent, she says, but it is not an emergency. It does not have to be solved in the next thirty-seven seconds — and the decisions you make in a panic are rarely the ones you'd make in a week.In this conversation with host Laura Carfang, Dr. Troso-Sandoval walks through what to do in the first 48 hours, why breast cancer is not one disease but many, and what she's actually looking at when she reads your pathology report — tumor size, margins, lymph nodes, Ki-67, receptor status — before she ever walks into the room. She explains hormone receptors and HER2 in plain language, why chemotherapy sometimes comes before surgery, and how Oncotype and MammaPrint answer the question so many people are carrying: do I even need chemo?She's also frank about the parts of oncology that aren't in the guidelines — that she doesn't treat an 84-year-old the same as a 34-year-old with identical pathology, and that treatment plans get built around whether your daughter can drive you. And there's one thing she circles back to make sure it's said out loud: if you're of childbearing age, fertility has to come up at the first visit. Not the third.

It is one thing to hold it together in front of the world, but another to maintain internal calm behind closed doors. After navigating profound loss, Dr. B shares why you cannot simply throw away the heavy pieces of your story, but instead must learn a deliberate method to organize your reality, stop reacting to triggers, and protect your peace.This episode breaks down how to step out of reactive decision-making, unpack emotional burdens, and implement the three-step framework—Think, Organize, Choose—to reclaim clarity, joy, and emotional stability.In This Episode:Staying Calm in Chaos: Maintaining internal peace when stepping into high-stress home environmentsBreaking Reactive Choices: Moving away from automatic reactions to emotional triggersThe 3-Step Framework: Implementing Think, Organize, and Choose for mental clarityReclaiming Capacity: Unpacking emotional weights to make space for genuine joyEpisode Timestamps:0:00 — What It Really Means to Stay Calm in Chaos0:44 — When Corporate Success Meets Family Stress1:24 — Breaking the Pattern of Reactive Choices2:19 — How to Achieve Real Clarity of Thought3:05 — Unpacking the Uncomfortable Weights We Carry4:06 — Step-by-Step: THINK.

Krysta was walking home from the grocery store when she remembered the post. A business coach listing everything she no longer does herself on the way to $100K months: no grocery runs, because someone else handles the meal prep. No washing her own hair, because there's a weekly blowout. And there Krysta was, carrying her own bags. (Does this mean I shouldn't be going to the grocery store?) By the time she got home she had 97% of this episode — which turns out to be the point.That Post Is a List of Preferences, Not a Blueprint• The coach wasn't wrong, she was specific to herself. Krysta sweats too much for a blowout to last a week, so outsourcing her hair means two or three salon trips, not one.• Krysta and Mike live in the same apartment and handle this completely differently. He's Instacart and a meal prep service. She likes the walk and the cooking.You're Already Optimizing, You Just Chose Different Things• She talks into her Notes app and into ChatGPT instead of typing, because she thinks faster than she types. Four-minute voice note in, structured episode out.• A pill organizer in the bathroom cabinet so she stops asking at 1 p.m. whether she took her supplements. A coach writing workouts she could write herself.• The line: she isn't outsourcing the thinking, she's outsourcing the friction around it. ChatGPT organizes the idea and finds the holes in it. It doesn't have the idea.Buying Back Time Only Works If You Know What It's For• Honestly? If the groceries had shown up at her door, some of that 45 minutes becomes email and some becomes 20 minutes on Instagram she'd count as work.• Ask whether you dislike the activity or the decisions around it. She doesn't want to stop cooking, she wants to stop reinventing the wheel — air fryer shortcuts, the frozen aisle.Optimize Everything and You Delete Your Own Raw Material• Apartment to Uber to office to delivered food to laptop, repeat. Where in that day do you overhear something or watch a stranger react to something?• Same trap in health: macros, steps, the split, the Oura ring, supplement timing — until being healthy is a second job and you're not living the life you wanted it for.Fix Tip of the WeekEvery time you catch yourself thinking "I should make this more efficient," don't change anything yet. Put it in your Notes app and answer three questions:1. What am I actually trying to save? (time, decisions, energy, or money)2. What would I realistically do with that saved resource?3. Do I like any step of the thing I'm about to remove?Run it for a week. A few will be obvious things you should have automated ages ago. A few, you'll find you actually like — and you'll only need to delegate part of it, not all of it.This Week's ExercisePick the thing you keep almost outsourcing and ask what it gives you that would never show up in a time audit.

So how do you get project time? You must write all "I need to remember to do that" tasks down and have a scheduled time, routinely, to do them. Your brain will trust you and you, my friend, will have project time.  Capture Everything First you must capture everything you need to remember to do. I do this by a good brain dump putting one item per index card. Break up any to do lists, again writing one item on an index card.  I go through my email and text messages. This is cognitive offloading, taking the thing you need to remember and placing it in your environment.  You could do this digitally or email yourself or something but index cards work the best for me.  Plan of Attack I was vulnerable and read all of the to do's I need to do in this episode. And then I shared how I plan to complete them. There were a few things I needed to put in my google calendar, a few things I needed to print, and a few financial tasks. All on the computer and I estimated roughly 40-60 minutes for those tasks during my Sunday Basket time. That is task stacking. Do like tasks at one time, to save time. There are somethings that need to be done before Sunday and they will live on my counter like talking to Abby, my daughter, about a class for my grandson. Joey, my son, has some stuff we need to look at, at his house. So I will do that the same day we go to Verizon to get him a new phone and talk to them about my bill. Because I have clumped like tasks together, some get addressed and some get placed in my Sunday Basket, I am unlocking small pocket of time that when added up are project time.  Gain the Trust of Your Brain The reason you are always in panic of forgetting to do something is because you do not have a designated time set aside for all the tasks you are trying to remember.  First write them all down to free up cognitive capacity for new things that come your way. And second, commit to your Sunday time so you can gain the trust of your brain and quiet the chaos of your braining panicking trying to remember everything. Because even if you write the tasks down but do not do them, the brain will continue to not trust you knowing you will not actually address all of the items you wrote down. Learn the habit of task stacking so you can enjoy project time. EPISODE RESOURCES: The Sunday Basket® Sign Up for the Organize 365® Newsletter  Did you enjoy this episode?

What if getting organized isn't really about having a perfectly tidy home? What if it's about creating space for the life you're growing into? In this thoughtful conversation, Cat sits down with Lisa Woodruff, founder and CEO of Organize 365, to explore how organization can help us move through life's transitions with more clarity, ease, and intention.Together, they talk about why organization is a skill anyone can learn, how clutter often reflects the seasons we're still holding onto, and why letting go doesn't have to be rushed. Lisa also shares practical ways to build systems that work for your unique life, whether you're managing a busy household, navigating ADHD, or simply looking to reduce the mental load of everyday living.If you've ever felt overwhelmed by your home, your schedule, or all the things you're carrying, this conversation is a reminder that you don't have to do it perfectly. Sometimes, creating a little more space is the first step toward your next adventure.In this episode, we discuss:Why organization is a skill anyone can learnHow clutter often reflects seasons of life we're still holding ontoThe emotional side of letting go after loss or major life changesWhy functional systems matter more than picture-perfect spacesHow organization can reduce mental load and support everyday lifeThe connection between executive function, ADHD, and organizingSimple ways to create systems that actually work for your familyWhy you don't have to be naturally organized to become organizedConnect with LisaWebsite: https://organize365.com/all-about-lisa-woodruff/Podcast: https://organize365.com/podcast-landing-page/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/organize365/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Organize365LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lisawoodruff/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Organize365Organization isn't about perfection.

You love them. You really do. But you also can't find the kitchen counter — and that's the tension so many people live with when they share a home with a collector. In this episode of Clutter Free Academy, Kathi Lipp sits down with Tonya Kubo for an honest, tender, and very funny conversation about what it's like to love someone whose stuff is taking over. Kathi grew up with a hoarder for a dad. Tonya grew up with a hoarder for a mom — in a 500-square-foot studio apartment so full there was nowhere to walk. And then Tonya married a man who came into the marriage as one of the top two Star Wars collectors in his county. If you've ever stood in a doorway looking at boxes and thought, How did we get here, and how do I say something without starting a war? — this one is for you. Why This Conversation Matters Kathi makes a distinction in this episode that changes everything: collecting, clutter, and hoarding are three different situations — and they require three different responses. Treating a curated collection like a mental health crisis will damage your relationship. Treating true hoarding like a decluttering project will exhaust you both. Knowing which one you're dealing with is the first step toward peace in your home. In This Episode, Listeners Will Discover The difference between garden-variety clutter, collecting, and true hoarding disorder — and why the distinction matters for your marriage, your kids, and your sanity What "functionally homeless" means, and the quiet warning signs that a loved one's home has stopped working for them The four emotional attachments hiding underneath a collection: identity, memory, safety, and the "someday" story The harder side of collecting — lost space, resentment, feeling unheard, and the guilt of wishing someone would change Two pieces of classic "advice" you should never follow with a collector — including the one that feels the most tempting at 11 p.m. when you're staring at the garage Why "winning the argument" guarantees you lose in the end A Word for the Person Who Feels Stuck Tonya shares something many listeners will recognize: for years she believed she had a housekeeping problem. It wasn't until she found Kathi's book Clutter Free that she realized it was a stuff problem — and that stuff problem came from emotions. That reframe is the beginning of real, lasting change. This episode won't hand anyone a trash bag and a lecture. Instead, it offers something better: understanding, compassion, and a path forward that protects both your home and the person you love. Coming Up Next Week Kathi and Tonya continue the conversation with what actually changed in Tonya's house — how Brian went from a Star Wars collection that swallowed an entire room to a collection that brings him genuine joy, and how Tonya got there without throwing away a single thing behind his back. They'll also tackle the question of value (is that comic book really worth $5,400?) and the difference between a living collection and a dead one. Press play, take a breath, and remember: small, doable steps. That's how you get to less clutter and more life.

284: In this episode of the REtipster Podcast, I'm sitting down with Logan Fullmer for our third deep dive into curative title investing, a real estate strategy built around properties most investors won't touch.(Show Notes: REtipster.com/284)Logan buys ownership interests in properties with broken chains of title, unresolved estates, multiple owners, liens, judgments, delinquent taxes, and other problems that can make conventional buyers walk away.But this conversation goes well beyond explaining what curative title is.We talk about how Logan has shortened his cash conversion cycle from a year or longer to roughly 90–120 days, how his team identifies the right distressed property owners to cold call, why some of his best opportunities aren't technically complicated at all, and how he protects himself with what he calls a margin of safety.We also get into the human side of these deals. What happens when siblings hate each other? When an owner moves into the property? When someone lies about the family tree? Where is the ethical line when you're buying a potentially valuable ownership interest for a tiny fraction of the property's eventual value?Logan also explains why more curative title investors entering the market haven't materially affected his business, which parts of this real estate strategy beginners should focus on first, and why discipline may matter more than technical knowledge.And since it's 2026, we dig into AI too, including one of Logan's biggest warnings for entrepreneurs: don't spend months building an AI solution when somebody has already built the tool you need for a few hundred dollars a month.If you're interested in real estate investing, distressed real estate, land investing, title problems, probate properties, cold calling, creative real estate strategies, or simply finding opportunities other investors overlook, there's a lot to unpack here.

And then Tonya married a man who came into the marriage as one of the top two Star Wars collectors in his county. If you've ever stood in a doorway looking at boxes and thought, How did we get here, and how do I say something without starting a war? — this one is for you. Why This Conversation Matters Kathi makes a distinction in this episode that changes everything: collecting, clutter, and hoarding are three different situations — and they require three different responses. Treating a curated collection like a mental health crisis will damage your relationship. Treating true hoarding like a decluttering project will exhaust you both. Knowing which one you're dealing with is the first step toward peace in your home. In This Episode, Listeners Will Discover The difference between garden-variety clutter, collecting, and true hoarding disorder — and why the distinction matters for your marriage, your kids, and your sanity What "functionally homeless" means, and the quiet warning signs that a loved one's home has stopped working for them The four emotional attachments hiding underneath a collection: identity, memory, safety, and the "someday" story The harder side of collecting — lost space, resentment, feeling unheard, and the guilt of wishing someone would change Two pieces of classic "advice" you should never follow with a collector — including the one that feels the most tempting at 11 p.m. when you're staring at the garage Why "winning the argument" guarantees you lose in the end A Word for the Person Who Feels Stuck Tonya shares something many listeners will recognize: for years she believed she had a housekeeping problem. It wasn't until she found Kathi's book Clutter Free that she realized it was a stuff problem — and that stuff problem came from emotions. That reframe is the beginning of real, lasting change. This episode won't hand anyone a trash bag and a lecture. Instead, it offers something better: understanding, compassion, and a path forward that protects both your home and the person you love. Coming Up Next Week Kathi and Tonya continue the conversation with what actually changed in Tonya's house — how Brian went from a Star Wars collection that swallowed an entire room to a collection that brings him genuine joy, and how Tonya got there without throwing away a single thing behind his back. They'll also tackle the question of value (is that comic book really worth $5,400?) and the difference between a living collection and a dead one. Press play, take a breath, and remember: small, doable steps. That's how you get to less clutter and more life.

Hey Friend!   It's the end of one month and the beginning of another and here you sit questioning where your money went yet again.    It always feels like it just disappears into thin air. At the beginning of the month it's there then the next thing you know it's gone. And gone went another opportunity to pay down your debt yet again.    So your obvious conclusion is that you need more money to make it through the month and still reach the financial goals you are working towards.    But what if I told you that wasn't the reason your money disappeared, but rather because it's in one big pile like your laundry on the bed.    It's hard to find a shirt that matches your pants let alone two matching socks without sorting it.

Today is day 248 and we are studying A Rule of Prayer: Corporate Worship. 248. How does the Book of Common Prayer organize corporate worship? The Prayer Book orders our daily, weekly, and seasonal prayer and worship. It also provides liturgies for significant events of life. (Leviticus 23:1–24:9; Psalm 90; John 2:1–12; 1 Corinthians 15:1–11) We will conclude today with Proper 13 found on page 618 of the Book of Common Prayer (2019).

You understand the value of money but do you concretely understand the value of your time? I'm breaking down how much your time is worth and the value of the time you are saving managing your house with the Sunday Basket®. The Value of Your Home in the American Economy As consumers, home small businesses, we contribute roughly 19-21 trillion dollars to the American GDP. That's 68% of 32 trillion dollars!!! Bet you thought it was all the big companies on the stock market - wrong!  Where we spend our money matters. Having a plan in place matters too. But do you prioritize making the plan of that spending?  The Value of You in Your Home Let's say in your 20's you can get a job for roughly $20/hr. And in your 50's for roughly $50/hr.   This is just for example sake.  Ok and it's been said many times that an hour spent planning is five hours saved in execution. So then I say, ok, you take one hour to process your Sunday Basket® which equals 5 hours of time saved due to planning and batching all the small administrative and managerial tasks into one chunk of time.  So, if you put yourself making $20/hr. You save $100 worth of time each week or if you like the $50/hr. better (or you give yourself a raise for improvement of implementation of the Sunday Basket over time), it's like $250 worth of time saved each week. $400-$1000/ mo.!! You are valuable! Six Weeks after you purchase your Sunday Basket® we start a clock. We estimate five hours saved per week per Sunday Basket® owner which over time has accumulated to 15.5 MILLION hours of time saved since the Sunday Basket® has been available.   I was like what is that in monetary value? It's $310,000,000 at $20/hr.  Can you believe that?  When you know how much your time is worth and the value of the Sunday Basket, you will make the time, 90 min on Sunday, to save time, 5 hours each week. One more component to the effectiveness of the Sunday Basket® is making the way you are spending your time visible.  You won't write down on your schedule to be in two places at once just like you can only spend money one time. It helps you to prioritize what goes in each time block and helps you to see if you need to reschedule in the event you verbally double book yourself.   Community Feedback A community member wrote in with her "ah-ha" about the Organize 365® Systems.  She noted that each system has periodic review maintenance. Like when we do prep for Planning Day. She pointed out how your brain gets little reminders of what you have and where it is during these maintenance activities.  Your brain doesn't have to worry because there's a weekly review with the Sunday Basket® and a review each trimester for the long term archiving of paper work and projects. So your mind stays soothed. Next week we'll continue in this 4 week series about task stacking.  EPISODE RESOURCES: The Sunday Basket® The Paper Solution® The Productive Home Solution Sign Up for the Organize 365® Newsletter  Did you enjoy this episode?

Labor day is next weekend, what projects will you be tackling? I'm sharing 4 steps to complete projects during these long weekends. Get ready to start planning what you will be doing next weekend.  It's Really Only One Extra Day You are really only getting one extra day, not a long weekend. Because you still have the normal tasks you do each weekend. Once you understand how much actual time you have then you can start to manipulate it. And a plan will help you to maximize your high energy times of the day. If I'm being generous, this long weekend will realistically result in 12 hours of time to complete projects. 4 Steps to Planning Your Long Weekend So the first thing you need to do is make a list. Start at your front door, walk through your house, and write down all the things you would do around your house if you were going to put it on the market next week.  I always encourage painting projects because historically paint is on sale for Labor Day. I'll be doing yard work and garage work as I shared in this episode to see how I am applying these 4 steps in my planning.  Then narrow down that list to what you will actually try to accomplish Labor Day weekend. Two stars next to the thing that you want to complete no matter what and one star next to the next thing you would like to accomplish. Simultaneously as you narrow down your list you will start making decisions. You may realize you need to clear out your car to transport something and you can decide where the things in your car, currently, will go so you can do this project. You will decide the colors you want to paint before you go to the store to buy it. Or maybe you need to ask someone else some questions to complete the project. Because I am looking at yard and garage work I am also considering the time of day and when it will be hot. Now that you have narrowed down the list and mentally prepped for the projects, you need to get the supplies you will need. Don't wait till the long weekend hits to get the supplies. You will use your high energy times at the store and take away time from completing the project. And lastly, eliminate normal weekend tasks. When I think about my yard work and garage work I want to get done Labor Day weekend, I think about my laundry and food related responsibilities.  I will plan pizza for Friday night as I watch Grayson play in the kiddie pool while I pick up sticks and weeds from the yard. We will use paper plates this weekend, what planned neglect can you implore? I will start my laundry Thursday night so I am not trying to switch the laundry on Saturday with my dirty hands from yard work.  I want you to even think about your Sunday Basket time.  This weekend maybe you can do double work to reduce your Sunday Basket time Labor Day weekend.  These four steps help you to realize the time you actually have. Reduce responsibilities eating up this extra day that you want for a project.  And reduce friction on project day. Plan your time and maximize your capacity.  EPISODE RESOURCES: The Sunday Basket® Labor Day Checklist Sign Up for the Organize 365® Newsletter  Did you enjoy this episode?
