283: Most land developers sell lots. TJ Visiodei is trying to build something much bigger.(Show Notes: REtipster.com/283)In this episode, I sit down with the founder and CEO of ACTS Decentralized Real Estate to understand how he acquires massive ranches, divides them into 5- to 15-acre parcels, and builds communities around land ownership, food production, off-grid utilities, family, faith, and long-term resilience.TJ explains why his buyers are not primarily motivated by saving money. They want independence, control over essential resources, and neighbors they can count on when life gets difficult.We also get deep into the mechanics of his land development strategy. TJ shares how his first project obtained 104% hard-money financing, how he paid off a $4 million land loan in six months, and how 12 families helped provide the equity needed to acquire a nearly $13 million property.We discuss why ACTS usually pays a seller's full asking price, what TJ negotiates instead of price, how pre-reservations guide market selection, and why he has never studied a market's absorption rate.TJ also explains his “Whole Foods rule,” his “Tinder rule” for identifying exceptional properties, and how ACTS can establish land values far above the surrounding comparable sales.This conversation goes beyond land investing. It explores what happens when a company makes its values inseparable from its product, why clearly expressed beliefs can attract stronger customers and employees, and what real community looks like during a personal crisis.

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?

Have you ever stood in front of a junk drawer like it was a moral failing? You are not lazy, and you are not broken. You are out of decisions. In this episode of Clutter Free Academy, Kathi Lipp welcomes back her longtime friend and co-author Cheri Gregory to talk about the invisible reason decluttering feels so much harder than it should: decision fatigue. Every single item in your home is asking you a question — Am I worth keeping? What if you need me someday? But Aunt Carol gave me to you… — and your brain only has so much room in its daily budget to answer. Kathi and Cheri unpack why the "all-day, all-in" decluttering marathon leaves so many of us in a puddle of tears, and why 15 minutes at a time isn't a cop-out — it's actually how our brains are wired to make good decisions. Then Kathi walks listeners through a two-decision method simple enough to use on a junk drawer today. In this episode, listeners will discover: Why clutter drains you faster than almost anything else — and the three ways clutter creates extra decisions you never signed up for The two-decision method: Does it stay or does it go? And if it stays, where does it live? (If you can't answer both, that's your answer.) Pre-deciding rules that cut decisions in half before you ever open the drawer — expired means gone, one backup is enough, one donation bag, and "if it doesn't fit this container, it doesn't live here" Cheri's Post-it Note trick for the "maybe" pile — three dates and it's out Why 15 minutes is the sweet spot and how to pick one micro-section (the batteries, the lotions, the mail) instead of the whole house How to handle the emotional stuff — grief, guilt gifts, and other people's things stored in your space Kathi shares the story of the giant, not-quite-cute teddy bear her kids gave her decades ago — and what happened when she finally called them to ask about it. Cheri gets honest about the bedroom set in her office, the organizing bins that never worked, and the moment she decided her office was not a storage unit for other people's memories. The big takeaway? You are not solving your whole house today. You're reducing the number of decisions in your home so you can actually enjoy living there. Be gentle with yourself. Be gentle with your family. And stop waiting for the day you'll have enough energy to decide everything at once — because friend, that day isn't coming. Grab 15 minutes, pick one shelf, and press play.

282: In this episode, I sit down with Joe and Jenn DelleFave to break down one of the most powerful real estate acquisition strategies available today: seller financing.(Show Notes: REtipster.com/282)Most investors understand the mechanics of owner financing, but very few know how to have the conversations that actually get sellers to say "Yes."Joe and Jenn share the exact framework they use to find motivated sellers, structure creative finance deals, negotiate terms, and acquire properties without relying on traditional bank loans.We discuss how they built a multimillion-dollar real estate portfolio using seller financing, subject-to deals, mortgage wraps, and creative negotiation strategies. They also explain how they generate inbound seller leads through Facebook groups, how they qualify motivated sellers, and the four pillars they use to structure every deal.If you're interested in seller financing, owner financing, creative finance, real estate investing, rental properties, cash flow, or building a real estate portfolio without using banks, this episode is packed with practical insights.

Krysta wasn't going to make an AI episode this week — not every announcement needs its 15 minutes. Then the same news showed up in three or four Instagram carousels from accounts she doesn't even follow: Anthropic is building a machine-readable watermark into future Claude models, and this time it covers text. Not a logo across your caption — closer to the "AI info" banner already sitting under people's posts. Her knee-jerk reaction was probably yours: I used it like Google, I wrote the rest, why does that get a label?Two Very Different Things Are About to Get the Same Label• You take a selfie you were physically in, then use Canva's magic eraser to pull a trash can out of the background. Technically AI.• You sit in your apartment in New York and generate a photo of yourself on a beach in Italy you've never been to. Also technically AI — and not remotely the same creative act.• None of this is new. Adobe started the Content Authenticity Initiative in 2019 and called content credentials a nutrition label for digital media. What's new is text.The Better Question Is What You Asked It to Do• Krysta's process for this episode: brain dump into ChatGPT, ask it to pull the facts (the way we all used to use Google), then let it reorganize a 45-minute ramble into 20 usable minutes.• Uses she stands behind: cleaning up grammar, summarizing hours of your own research or client calls, spotting the pattern in what you keep circling back to.• The use that bothers her: "give me five controversial opinions that'll get engagement," pick one, have it write the script and the caption, film a talking head, call it your perspective.If Everyone Has the Same Tools, Your Inputs Are the Advantage• Nobody calls their wedding photos fake because the colors got adjusted. We start caring when the edit deceives us about what actually happened.• "AI generated" still carries a verdict — you didn't make it, you cheated, maybe you don't even know your stuff. That may not survive the label becoming normal.• Same tools, same prompts, so the tech isn't the advantage anymore. What's left is what you noticed this week, what pissed you off, what you changed your mind about.• Reach for it every time an opinion is half-baked and you get less practice forming hot takes.

What if the experiences of thousands—or eventually millions—of Lyme disease patients could help the next patient find answers faster? In this episode of the Tick Boot Camp Podcast, we sit down with siblings Carter Bradsky and Payton Bradsky, co-founders of LymeLess Health, to explore their family's extraordinary Lyme disease journey and the technology they're building to help other patients navigate complex chronic illness. Lyme disease didn't affect just one member of the Bradsky family. Their mother became severely ill and largely bedridden while searching for answers through the conventional medical system. Carter later developed debilitating neurological and psychiatric symptoms while preparing to play college basketball. Payton experienced seizure-like episodes, was diagnosed with epilepsy, lost her driver's license, and struggled with cognitive dysfunction while beginning a promising career in technology. Their experiences ultimately inspired a much bigger question: What if Lyme patients didn't have to start from zero? That question became LymeLess, a precision care navigation platform built around an AI companion named Ella. The goal is to help patients organize complex medical histories, track symptoms and treatments, recognize patterns, prepare for medical appointments, find Lyme-literate providers, and make better use of the enormous amount of information generated throughout a chronic illness journey. A Family's Lyme Disease Journey Carter and Payton explain that their family's Lyme journey began with their mother around 2015. After relocating from South Dakota to Arizona, their mother progressively became sicker. Despite extensive medical evaluations—including care through major medical institutions—the family struggled to find an explanation for what was happening. At one point, her symptoms were attributed to psychological causes. Everything changed through a chance encounter. While attending an event surrounding Carter's high school graduation, their mother discussed her symptoms with someone familiar with Lyme disease. That conversation led her toward a Lyme-literate provider and ultimately toward the answers the family had been searching for. Her experience would later become critically important when both Carter and Payton developed their own unexplained illnesses. Carter Bradsky's Lyme Disease Story Carter was preparing for his senior year of high school and planning to play college basketball when his health began changing. During a period that also included significant emotional and physical stress, Carter began experiencing symptoms including: Brain fog and cognitive dysfunction Memory loss Dissociation Depression Anxiety Changes in his ability to function academically and athletically Because his mother had already traveled the Lyme disease diagnostic journey, she recognized similarities between Carter's symptoms and what she had experienced. That awareness allowed Carter to reach a Lyme-literate provider relatively quickly. He describes undergoing combination antibiotic therapy with herbal support and eventually reaching remission after approximately 1.5 to 2 years. His experience became an important lesson that would later influence LymeLess: Having someone Lyme-literate helping you navigate the journey can dramatically change how quickly you find the next right step. Payton Bradsky: Seizures, Epilepsy Misdiagnosis, and Lyme Disease Payton's illness presented very differently. During her senior year of college, after an intense period of stress, illness, dehydration, travel, and lack of sleep, Payton experienced what appeared to be a seizure. She was subsequently diagnosed with epilepsy. The diagnosis changed her life. Payton was placed on powerful anti-seizure medication, lost her driver's license, struggled cognitively, and found herself unable to use the brain she had relied upon throughout her life as an engineering student. This was particularly frightening because she had already accepted a job at Google and was preparing to begin her career in technology. Her family once again questioned whether there might be another explanation. That eventually led Payton toward Lyme and tick-borne disease testing and treatment. Unlike Carter's relatively shorter journey, Payton's recovery became a much longer process involving years of treatment and numerous providers. Her experience illustrates one of the central themes of this episode: There is no single Lyme disease presentation—and there is no single recovery pathway that works for every patient. From Lyme Patients to Technology Founders The siblings eventually brought very different professional backgrounds together to create LymeLess. Carter studied finance and data analytics at the University of San Diego before working in technology, media, and telecommunications investment banking in New York City. Payton studied computer engineering and entrepreneurship at Santa Clara University in Silicon Valley before spending approximately five years at Google, working as a software engineer and product manager. Her experience in technology—including exposure to privacy, security, and regulated data environments—would later become particularly relevant when designing a health platform handling sensitive patient information. Both siblings eventually left their careers to tackle a problem they understood personally: Why does navigating Lyme disease so often become a second full-time job for the patient or caregiver? What Is LymeLess? LymeLess describes itself as a precision care navigation platform designed around the patient. Instead of leaving medical information scattered across patient portals, paper binders, lab reports, physician notes, symptom journals, and a patient's memory, LymeLess is working toward creating a centralized longitudinal record of the patient's journey. The platform's AI companion is called Ella. Patients can use Ella to help: Organize their health history Track symptoms over time Track treatments and supplements Record reactions and potential triggers Upload medical documents and laboratory results Identify patterns in symptoms and treatments Prepare for doctor appointments Surface relevant resources and research Find Lyme-literate providers Remember previous treatment responses Better understand their evolving health journey Carter describes one user's characterization of Ella as a "second brain" for when Lyme brain makes remembering and organizing everything difficult. Turning the Lyme Disease Binder Into Usable Data Anyone who has navigated chronic Lyme disease knows about the binder. Years of: Bloodwork Imaging Specialist reports Medication lists Treatment protocols Symptom histories Diagnostic testing Hospital records Patients frequently carry enormous amounts of information between specialists, yet a physician working within a short appointment may have only minutes to understand it. The conversation explores whether AI could become a bridge between these two realities. Instead of expecting a physician to read hundreds or thousands of pages, AI may eventually help synthesize a patient's history into the information most relevant to that particular appointment. LymeLess currently allows patients to upload digital documents and images of physical records, while the company is working toward easier bulk uploading and potential integrations with electronic health record systems. The LymeLess "Warrior Report" One important feature discussed in the episode is the Warrior Report. Patients can export information from LymeLess into a report designed to help communicate their health journey to their provider. Carter and Payton envision this concept becoming considerably more sophisticated in the future. One possibility discussed is a provider-facing experience in which clinicians could interact with a patient's organized information, review relevant research, and ask questions in language and formats designed specifically for medical professionals. Longer term, LymeLess is exploring clinical decision-support concepts and potential integrations with electronic health record platforms. Ella Is Not a Doctor Carter and Payton emphasize an important distinction throughout the interview: Ella is not intended to replace physicians. LymeLess is not positioning Ella as an autonomous doctor that diagnoses disease or prescribes treatment. Instead, the goal is to help patients: Understand their own information Recognize patterns Surface questions Find relevant resources Organize their medical histories Communicate more effectively with their healthcare team The ultimate medical decisions remain between patients and qualified healthcare professionals. Can AI Help Patients Recognize Patterns? One of the most exciting possibilities discussed is AI's ability to analyze enormous amounts of information. Lyme and tick-borne disease patients frequently experience changing combinations of: Neurological symptoms Psychiatric symptoms Pain Fatigue Inflammation Treatment reactions Food sensitivities Environmental triggers Co-infections Medication and supplement responses Patients may recognize individual events but struggle to see patterns unfolding across weeks, months, or years. Payton explains that Ella is being designed to combine patient-specific longitudinal information with curated research and educational resources. The goal is not simply to answer a question at one moment in time, but to understand that question in the context of the patient's broader journey. Learning From Other Lyme Patients The conversation then expands beyond individual patient tracking. Could anonymized patient experiences eventually help identify broader patterns across the Lyme community? Carter describes a long-term vision for a community intelligence layer that could potentially help patients, providers, and researchers learn from real-world experiences at scale. Instead of every newly diagnosed patient beginning at zero, future patients could potentially benefit from patterns identified among people with similar symptoms, diagnoses, treatment histories, and responses. The siblings discuss the potential for properly anonymized and de-identified information to eventually contribute to research while protecting individual patient identities. Lyme Disease Research and Real-World Evidence The episode explores an even larger possibility: Could longitudinal patient data help accelerate Lyme disease research? Traditional clinical trials are essential, but they can be expensive, geographically limited, and slow. Meanwhile, Lyme patients are already trying enormous numbers of treatments in the real world. The challenge is that much of that information disappears. One patient tries a treatment. Another patient tries something different. A physician discovers something useful in clinical practice. Patients discuss experiences in Facebook groups and online forums. But those experiences rarely become structured research-quality data. LymeLess hopes eventually to help close that gap. Potential future applications discussed include: Identifying promising treatment patterns Generating real-world evidence Identifying potential clinical trial candidates Helping researchers determine which therapies deserve formal study Supporting decentralized research Connecting patients with clinical trials Helping researchers study complex combinations of Lyme disease, co-infections, and overlapping conditions Lyme Disease Is More Than Borrelia Another important research discussion centers around the complexity of the Lyme patient population. Many patients aren't navigating Borrelia alone. Their health picture may also include: Bartonella Babesia Other tick-borne infections Mold exposure Mast cell activation Dysautonomia Inflammation Neurological dysfunction Genetic differences Environmental exposures By collecting longitudinal information across complex patients, platforms such as LymeLess could potentially help researchers study the combinations and patterns that traditional Lyme research may not fully capture. Protecting Patient Privacy Health information is extraordinarily sensitive, and the episode includes an extensive discussion about privacy and security. Payton explains that protecting patient data has been considered from the beginning of LymeLess' development. According to Payton, LymeLess uses: Encryption at rest Encryption in transit Zero-data-retention policies and agreements with vendors powering the platform Patient control over their information De-identification and anonymization approaches for broader data use She emphasizes that patients should be able to benefit from AI technology while still understanding and controlling how their information is used. LymeLess and the Doctor-Patient Relationship One of the most interesting themes of the conversation is that technology could potentially improve—not replace—the relationship between doctors and patients. Patients with complex chronic illness frequently arrive at appointments carrying years of medical information. Doctors, meanwhile, may have extremely limited appointment time and may not have extensive training in Lyme and tick-borne diseases. That can create frustration on both sides. Could better-organized information help? The conversation explores how AI-generated summaries, longitudinal symptom tracking, research resources, and eventually provider-facing tools could help physicians understand complicated patients more quickly. Rather than telling patients they must become their "own doctor," the goal is to help patients become better-informed partners with their healthcare team. Can LymeLess Help Health Coaches? The siblings also discuss the growing role of health coaches in complex chronic illness. Because Lyme patients often need significant support between medical appointments, health coaches can help patients organize treatment plans, make lifestyle changes, and navigate day-to-day challenges. LymeLess could potentially serve two populations: Patients who cannot afford ongoing human health coaching may gain access to a more affordable form of between-appointment support. At the same time, professional health coaches may eventually use technology like LymeLess to organize information and support more patients efficiently. Carter's Mold Illness After Lyme Remission The episode also takes an unexpected turn when Carter shares a recent health setback. After reaching remission from Lyme and tick-borne disease, Carter moved into an older apartment in New York City's SoHo neighborhood. Over time, he began experiencing: Brain fog Severe fatigue Cognitive problems Word-recall difficulties Nervous system dysregulation Increasing sensitivity to caffeine Anxiety Eye floaters Initially, he questioned whether Bartonella or another tick-borne infection had returned. Testing eventually pointed toward mold exposure. Environmental testing of his apartment reportedly identified numerous types of water-associated mold, and subsequent testing contributed to his decision to address mold illness and leave the environment. He describes temporarily moving home, focusing on recovery, reducing caffeine and screen exposure, exercising, using sauna, and continuing to work with his healthcare team. Importantly, Carter says subsequent testing did not indicate reactivation of Lyme, Bartonella, or Babesia. His experience reinforces another reason he believes longitudinal health records are valuable: When symptoms return years later, knowing exactly what happened during previous illnesses and treatments can provide important context. Discovery, Active Treatment, and Maintenance Payton describes three broad stages LymeLess is designed to support: Discovery Someone has experienced a tick bite or unexplained symptoms and is trying to determine what should happen next. Active Treatment The patient has a diagnosis and is navigating treatments, symptoms, reactions, providers, testing, and progress. Maintenance / Remission The patient is doing better but still wants to understand their health, recognize potential triggers, remember previous treatment responses, and protect their progress. This makes LymeLess potentially relevant beyond the period when someone is acutely sick. Genetics and Precision Medicine The interview also explores another future direction: incorporating genetic information. Genetics can influence: Detoxification Methylation Medication responses Nutritional needs Inflammatory pathways Other aspects of individualized health Carter and Payton discuss a future in which genetics, laboratory testing, patient history, symptoms, environmental factors, and treatment responses could contribute to increasingly personalized health navigation. Their larger vision moves from precision care navigation toward precision care and, eventually, increasingly individualized precision medicine. How Much Does LymeLess Cost? At the time of this interview, Carter and Payton describe LymeLess as offering a one-month free trial, followed by a subscription of approximately $15 per month. They also discuss working toward making portions of the platform available more broadly and maintaining a scholarship program for people who cannot afford the subscription. Carter explains that a portion of subscription revenue is intended to help support that scholarship program. Turning Lyme Disease Into Purpose The episode ultimately becomes about much more than artificial intelligence. Both Carter and Payton discuss how illness changed their lives. They describe fear, isolation, cognitive impairment, uncertainty, faith, family support, and the challenge of trying to continue school and demanding careers while sick. They also discuss something we talk about frequently at Tick Boot Camp: finding purpose through suffering. Payton continued developing her engineering career while undergoing treatment. Carter describes spending long periods alone in church during college, trying to quiet his mind and understand what mattered most. Eventually, their experiences gave them a problem they felt compelled to solve. Their mission with LymeLess is ambitious: Learn from the unique story of every patient so future patients don't have to navigate Lyme disease through the same degree of trial, error, expense, and luck. Key Topics Discussed Carter and Payton Bradsky's family Lyme disease story Their mother's long diagnostic journey Medical dismissal and unexplained chronic symptoms Carter's neurological Lyme symptoms Brain fog, memory loss, anxiety, depression, and dissociation Payton's seizure and epilepsy misdiagnosis Neurological and psychiatric Lyme disease symptoms Lyme disease remission and recovery Lyme disease and co-infections Bartonella and Babesia Mold toxicity after Lyme disease AI and Lyme disease LymeLess Health Ella AI companion Precision care navigation Symptom and treatment tracking Longitudinal patient health data Medical record organization The Lyme disease "binder" Patient-provider communication Warrior Reports Lyme-literate provider matching Clinical decision-support technology Electronic health record integration AI pattern recognition Patient privacy and healthcare data security De-identification and anonymization Real-world evidence Lyme disease clinical trials Patient-generated health data Artificial intelligence and medical research Health coaching and Lyme disease The financial burden of chronic Lyme disease Genetics and personalized medicine Precision medicine Faith and chronic illness Post-traumatic growth Finding purpose after Lyme disease Life after Lyme disease Learn More Explore LymeLess and Ella Listen to more Tick Boot Camp Podcast episodes Explore Tick Boot Camp interviews with Lyme doctors Recently bitten by a tick?

The past 5 episodes have identified all the invisible and visible work, and all of the thinking and strategic planning that needs to happen in the home CEO role. How do you get it all done without a team? Listen up!  How Do We Balance Our Roles? Now that we know all the roles and hats we are wearing, I'm explaining how to balance your manager role (Sunday Basket hat) and your CEO role of strategic thinking without a team. Your team is your Sunday Basket, Planning Day, and the Monthly CEO planning days. You make a ridiculous amount of decisions during Planning Day and then you run that plan. The balance comes from knowing your priorities and planning accordingly. AND knowing the energy of the year and your energy. If your energy is high in the mornings and you have free time for projects at night, that won't work. So knowing your project energy time can help you to move projects around and manipulate time to accomplish them. I caution you, you can't be everything to everyone all the time, so you need to decide your primary role and projects for each trimester and keep that focus. Fun revelation I had recently. I have always said the pink slash pocket is for the Sunday Basket, keeper of projects and managerial work.  Then purple is for Planning Day, long range goals and getting deadlines in place.  When I was thinking about The Productive Home CEO, blue kept coming to mind. Why? Well, pink leads to purple and purple leads to blue. Pink and purple lay the foundation to create the productivity that allows us to reach level 5, The Productive Home CEO level. Blue is a people or team. This level you are employing your Sunday Basket, Planning Days, and CEO Planning Days to get to green, the productivity and completed projects You Still Have To Do the Sunday Basket as a CEO? Yes, as the CEO you still process your Sunday Basket weekly. As the CEO you are overseeing your entire ecosystem and monitoring if the projects are still the right ones, if you have room for more or if you need to put a project back in the Sunday Basket®, do you still have enough finances to cover all the current projects, confirm the project is still relevant, and how does all of that affect all the people in your home? Because you can't do 342 projects well, you just can't.  The CEO identifies the projects then has to communicate, inspire,and monitor all the projects. This is How Organize 365® and I Are Using AI The long and short of it is we aren't. Or not in the way the rest of the world is.  I was so excited to offer this Lisa AI "hotline" to the community. But after exploring what's out there now and coming back to what we created, I have realized it'll serve as a database for everyone. At first I was a little disappointed but then it dawned on me that I want to be a teaching company. I'm ok with our AI not being generative because I don't want it to tell you what to do. I want to teach and I want you to learn these skills.  Please listen to this episode if for no other reason than to listen to an AI reply from someone who is part of the Organize 365® community. I may not understand AI but it sure understands what this lady has been learning from Organize 365®. She inputted what she wanted to think through in preparation for Planning Day. AI told her she's trying to create a home manager manual, a dashboard. Yes, AI, Yes! I read the actual AI reply in this episode. You gotta hear it.  It was spot on.

Tune in to our weekly LIVE Mastermind Q+A Podcast for expert advice, peer collaboration, and actionable insights on success in the Probate, Divorce, Late Mortgage/Pre-Foreclosure, and Aged Expired niches! In this week's All The Leads Mastermind, the conversation focuses on the systems and habits that separate successful agents and investors from those who struggle to convert their leads. Bill Bird walks through his probate prospecting system, including organizing leads in a CRM, consistent mail and calls, long-term follow-up, market updates, and building a trusted network of service providers. The group also explores how conversations should change when working with sensitive situations like probate, divorce, and late mortgage, emphasizing empathy, asking the right questions, and building relationships rather than immediately pushing for a sale. The coaches also tackle call reluctance and why taking imperfect action is better than waiting for the perfect script or approach. Members share practical ways to get comfortable making calls, stay accountable, and continuously refine their systems. The episode wraps up with updates to Lazy Agent and a discussion of Probate Cash as another resource agents can offer families who may need access to funds during probate.Key Takeaways Build a system and work it consistently. Successful lead conversion comes from repeatable calls, mail, email, texts, and follow-up—not sporadic outreach.  Organize leads for long-term follow-up. Using a CRM to track where prospects are in the process makes consistent nurturing much easier.  Don't give up on older leads. Probate opportunities can convert six months, three years, or even longer after the first contact.  Adapt your conversation to the person and situation. Probate, divorce, and mortgage distress require empathy and a different approach than a typical sales call.  Build relationships instead of chasing a first-call close. Ask questions, uncover problems, and focus on what you can help someone accomplish next.  Don't let call reluctance stop you. You don't need the perfect script—having a genuine conversation and taking imperfect action beats making no call at all.  Give prospects more ways to solve their problems. Trusted service providers and resources like Probate Cash can differentiate you from someone who's only interested in the listing.  To learn more, visit https://www.AllTheLeads.com or call (844) 532-3369 to check how many leads are available in your market.  #ProbateRealEstate #RealEstateProspecting #LeadFollowUp #RealEstateLeads Previous episodes: AllTheLeads.com/probate-mastermindInterested in Leads?

Some seasons don't come with a schedule. If you're caregiving, working nights, parenting teenagers, traveling for work, or simply living in a house where no two days look the same, most organizing advice falls flat. "Do laundry on Tuesday" doesn't work when Tuesday might be spent in a hospital waiting room.In this episode of Clutter Free Academy, Kathi Lipp answers a listener question that hits close to home for so many women: How do you keep a routine going when every single day is different? She sits down with returning guest Barb Roose, author of the Bible study Stronger Than Stress, to talk about what actually holds a life together when the calendar won't cooperate.Why Unpredictable Days Feel So HeavyKathi and Barb name something most of us feel but rarely say out loud: when life is out of control, we go looking for control — usually in other people. We start fixing, forcing, and managing everyone around us, and instead of creating solutions, we create more chaos. As Barb puts it, craving certainty doesn't make you crazy. It's what we do with that craving that gets us into trouble.The "Top Five" That Work on Every Kind of DayBarb shares the five non-negotiables she's kept for over a decade — five simple things that travel with her into airports, hospital waiting rooms, book deadlines, and the hardest season of her life. They're not a rigid program. They're an anchor. And listeners will hear exactly how they flex when everything else falls apart.What Listeners Will Take AwayWhy standard routine advice fails women with unpredictable schedules — and what to do insteadThe five daily practices that hold steady when nothing else doesThe tiny first step for the woman who feels too buried to even choose a starting pointHow a note card by the bed can carry you through a season when you can't prayA one-sentence prayer for releasing what was never yours to controlWhy "being faithful in the small things" is deeply practical, not just spiritualFor the Woman Whose Life Is On FireBarb speaks openly about nearly a decade of living with a spouse struggling with alcohol addiction — a season with no stability, no predictability, and nothing she could fix. Her honesty gives this episode weight. This isn't tidy advice from someone whose life has always been calm. It's hard-won wisdom from survival mode with a spiritual intervention.And the encouragement Kathi lands on is beautifully doable: do one thing for yourself today. A ten-minute walk. Ten minutes of earlier bedtime. A phone call to a friend.

281: What actually works in land investing when the market slows down?(Show Notes: REtipster.com/281)In this episode, I sit down with two of my good friends: Drew Haney of Rooster Capital and Mike Baucom, my business partner at Stride CRM. We had no formal agenda, but the conversation quickly turned into a candid look at the current land market, the strategies that still work, and what separates the land investors who survive from those who quit.Drew shares insights from analyzing approximately 850 funded land deals. One of the biggest conclusions was surprisingly simple: boring, smaller land flips often produce the strongest returns. While the industry constantly promotes new real estate strategies—subdivides, entitlements, distressed property, and other value-add plays—some of the most successful land investors continue using the same basic systems they have refined for yearsWe also discuss why the land market no longer feels like the COVID-era boom, whether another real estate crash could be coming, and why transaction volume may matter more than rising land prices.Mike, Drew, and I also get honest about entrepreneur mindset, inconsistent cash flow, failed marketing campaigns, diversification, shiny object syndrome, loneliness, AI, and the importance of building real relationships with other business owners.This conversation is about more than land flipping. It is about staying in the game, improving your systems, and learning to appreciate the difficult seasons of entrepreneurship.

It's time to start planning, strategizing, and thinking like a CEO. The CEO has the bird's eye view of all the moving pieces of the home. The Productive Home CEO leads the management and the work of her home through strategic planning and goal setting. No Business Can Grow If The Leader Isn't Growing Level 5 pulls you as the leader up to goals instead of pulling you down to tasks. As you get these systems in place you get lighter and have more capacity. That capacity allows for strategic thinking. This level allows you to self actualize instead of being stuck in Groundhog's Day just doing it more effectively and efficiently. The first way to grow in your leadership is in Planning Day. Strategically planning home maintenance, upcoming family events like birthdays, anniversaries, or any Golden Windows.  You know your family's celebrations and upcoming events but now to look at them as a CEO. Have children grown out of a tradition? How are the household finances? What's going on in e-commerce? What is the overall landscape of society and how does it impact your family? Thinking about these questions helps you to adjust and plan to make sure you meet their expectations.  I brought up the Holiday Blitz that you could apply to any annual celebration. Ask family members key questions to understand the expectations. You may be surprised with their answers and how much work you can take off your plate just by asking questions. The you fill in your calendar and identify small pockets of time to complete a Sunday Basket system, complete The Productive Home Solution, and with those systems in place use all that earned capacity to dream up possibilities for your home. A Perfect business example I gave is AI.  Everyone is using Chat GPT like their best friend, consulting it all day long. As the CEO, I pondered "How could I incorporate something like that for Organize 365®?"  Solution? We will be launching the Lisa Hotline. There will be one for community members that have the products that support levels 1-4 and one for members who attend the live events that support The Home CEO, level 5.  And I found solutions for keeping the hotlines proprietary to Organize 365® as to not let other AI large language models be able to use the information.  Home CEO's need to do the same, consider how to stay relevant and move the home forward. They need to consider the best use of human resources, finances, and the best ways to protect what they own.  How Organize 365® Can Support You The tricky thing about being the Home CEO is that you have to manage yourself to manage projects, have clear priorities, and know yourself enough to know what you have the capacity to complete.  All the work done at this level is supported by Organize 365® in live events because you manage A LOT!! Organize 365® wants to support you in your visionary role for the good of all the people in your home. We offer Planning Day which actually takes me 10 days because I start with a deep dive into my Sunday Basket, get all prepped, instruct you in Planning Day Prep for 2 hours, and finish with instructing Planning Day for 4 hours in webinar format.  Then you are planned for the next 120 days.  After you attend your first one, you can set up a subscription so you never miss one in the future.  And if that wasn't enough, I decided to offer a Home CEO day. This is a day mostly to make sure you, your administrative work and finances are being taken care of!  This is a Monday in the middle of the month, from 9-11am EST, where you will have accountability on the progress of projects you planned in Planning Day, make sure you have all the supplies for those project, make calls or complete other to-do's that you can't on Sunday, make sure finances are on track, and confirm you are in fact taking care of yourself. A home can't thrive if the leader isn't running on all cylinders. You take care of everyone else, you deserve to be taken care of too.   EPISODE RESOURCES: The Sunday Basket® Planning Day Monthly Home CEO Planning Sessions The Productive Home Solution Sign Up for the Organize 365® Newsletter  Did you enjoy this episode?

Do you ever feel like clutter isn't just messy—it's loud? For highly sensitive people, visual clutter can feel like constant noise, making it nearly impossible to relax, focus, or feel at peace in your own home.In this episode, Kathi Lipp continues her conversation with Cheri Gregory about the unique challenges HSPs face when it comes to decluttering. Together, they tackle real questions from Cheri's Sensitive and Strong community—questions about perfectionism, procrastination, sentimental items, and how to have productive conversations with loved ones about clutter.What Listeners Will DiscoverThe power of pre-deciding: Learn how to make decluttering decisions when you're calm so you don't get stuck in the emotional heat of the momentHow to handle items with emotional weight: Practical questions to ask yourself about kids' art, photos, letters, baby gear, and family heirloomsManaging visual reminders without chaos: Strategies for keeping necessary lists and notes without letting them take over your spaceHaving the clutter conversation: How to help loved ones understand that wanting a calm home isn't about control—it's about capacityKey TakeawaysPre-deciding is about borrowing wisdom from your calm self before your overwhelmed self walks into the closet. When you make decisions ahead of time—like "I only keep clothes that fit my current body and my current life"—you reduce the emotional labor of repeated decision-making.For sentimental items, Kathi suggests asking: "Does this represent this person, our season together, or a memory of us well?" and "Would I go looking for this if it were gone?" These questions help distinguish between items kept with love versus those kept from guilt or obligation.Perhaps most importantly, this episode reframes the conversation about clutter and capacity. A calm home isn't about control—it's about having the capacity to show up as your best self for the people you love.

Charlie Kerrigan is a twenty-year-old entrepreneur managing a landscape construction firm in Toronto nearing $3 million in revenue. The discussion centers on the personal evolution required to lead a growing business, emphasizing the dangers of expanding too quickly without maintaining operational efficiency. Kerrigan candidly shares lessons on avoiding excessive overhead, the importance of "leading from the trenches," and why profitability must take precedence over high-end equipment or vanity metrics. He also highlights the value of clear communication and the necessity of addressing difficult conversations to prevent professional stagnation. Key Takeaways: Don't be afraid to get your hands dirty and stay active in the trenches where the real work happens, no matter how much success or scale you achieve. Organize your week with dedicated time blocks on your calendar to gain control over your schedule and ensure your daily actions align with your major goals. Face difficult conversations and ask hard questions immediately, since delaying necessary conflict only multiplies the problems down the road.

Do you ever feel like clutter isn't just messy—it's loud? For highly sensitive people, visual clutter can feel like constant noise, making it nearly impossible to relax, focus, or feel at peace in your own home.In this episode, Kathi Lipp continues her conversation with Cheri Gregory about the unique challenges HSPs face when it comes to decluttering. Together, they tackle real questions from Cheri's Sensitive and Strong community—questions about perfectionism, procrastination, sentimental items, and how to have productive conversations with loved ones about clutter.What Listeners Will DiscoverThe power of pre-deciding: Learn how to make decluttering decisions when you're calm so you don't get stuck in the emotional heat of the momentHow to handle items with emotional weight: Practical questions to ask yourself about kids' art, photos, letters, baby gear, and family heirloomsManaging visual reminders without chaos: Strategies for keeping necessary lists and notes without letting them take over your spaceHaving the clutter conversation: How to help loved ones understand that wanting a calm home isn't about control—it's about capacityKey TakeawaysPre-deciding is about borrowing wisdom from your calm self before your overwhelmed self walks into the closet. When you make decisions ahead of time—like "I only keep clothes that fit my current body and my current life"—you reduce the emotional labor of repeated decision-making.For sentimental items, Kathi suggests asking: "Does this represent this person, our season together, or a memory of us well?" and "Would I go looking for this if it were gone?" These questions help distinguish between items kept with love versus those kept from guilt or obligation.Perhaps most importantly, this episode reframes the conversation about clutter and capacity. A calm home isn't about control—it's about having the capacity to show up as your best self for the people you love.

Here's the link to my 2.0 calendar planning system…  https://howtobeawesomeateverything.com/pages/2-0weeklyhabitsandplanningsystem **The perfect pairing to use with AI** I explain how and why towards the end of this episode!      I think most people are using AI way too small.   They're asking it to rewrite an email, make a grocery list, or answer a random question… which is fine. But that's like buying a Ferrari and using it to drive to the mailbox. The real opportunity is to use AI to remove friction from your life. To make decisions faster. To stop carrying 47 unfinished thoughts around in your head. To get healthier, make more money, organize your life, solve problems faster, and actually create more space for the things you care about.   Today I want to show you how to start thinking differently about AI altogether. How to use it almost like an extension of your brain… a personal assistant, strategist, researcher, coach, planner, and sounding board that is available the second you have a problem to solve.   Because I really believe the people who learn how to use AI well right now are going to have an insane advantage. Not because they're smarter or working harder… but because they're going to spend so much less time stuck in the figuring-it-out phase.    And that means more time spent in forward motion, less of the mundane and more time living… which is always the goal.   IDEAS!!  TURN YOUR REFRIGERATOR INTO A PERSONAL CHEF Take a picture of what you have and say: "I want a high-protein dinner using these ingredients. Under 30 minutes, at least 40 grams of protein, no seed oils, kid-friendly, and minimal dishes." Now AI isn't giving you a random recipe. It's solving your actual dinner problem. USE BOOKS FOR EXACTLY WHAT YOU NEED Instead of just asking for a book summary, make it relevant to your life. "Teach me the parenting principles from Good Inside using examples with an eight-year-old." "Explain the identity-based habits concept from Atomic Habits and tell me how to use it for my current goal." You can learn exactly what you need, exactly when you need it. USE AI AS YOUR TRAVEL CONCIERGE Give it your destination, hotel, kids' ages, budget, preferences, and schedule. Then ask it to: • Build the itinerary • Avoid tourist traps • Find great restaurants • Plan rainy-day backups • Organize everything geographically • Tell you what to pack • Compare hotel options • Decide whether upgrades are worth it It can save hours of research. TREAT IT LIKE A PERSONAL ASSISTANT If something has been sitting on your list because it requires research or decision-making… hand it over. "I'm comparing these three gyms." "I need a new mattress." "I'm choosing between schools." "I need the perfect birthday gift." Tell AI your priorities and let it compare the options. Don't just ask: "Answer this question." Ask: "Help me solve this entire problem." HIRE YOURSELF A PERSONAL TRAINER Say: "Act as my personal trainer. Ask me everything you need before building my program." Give it your goals, schedule, equipment, injuries, current fitness level, and nutrition goals. Then let it create a plan around your actual life. And when life changes: "I only have 25 minutes today. Modify my workout." LET AI ORGANIZE YOUR HOUSE Take a picture of your pantry, closet, garage, or playroom. Then ask: "Pretend you're a professional organizer. Tell me what to donate, relocate, buy, and exactly what order to tackle this in." This is especially helpful when you feel overwhelmed and don't know where to start. USE AI AS A THINKING PARTNER Sometimes you don't need more information. You need perspective. Dump the entire situation into ChatGPT. Then ask: "What am I not seeing?" "What pattern do you notice?" "If you were incredibly direct with me, what would you tell me?" Sometimes getting everything out of your head and organized is enough to create clarity. BUILD YOUR DREAM LIFE BACKWARDS Describe your current life. Then describe the life you want. Example: "I'm overwhelmed, my house is cluttered, I don't have enough energy, and I always feel behind." Versus: "My home feels calm, I feel strong, I'm organized, I have financial confidence, and my days feel intentional." Then ask: "Build me the smallest daily and weekly habits that would move me from Version A to Version B." Now AI becomes a life-design tool. CREATE A DEFAULT HEALTHY DAY Stop making 100 tiny decisions every day. Give AI your schedule and priorities. "I wake up at 5:30, kids leave at 7:45, I work from 8 to 1, I want 10,000 steps, 130 grams of protein, a workout, time outside, and bed by 9:30. Build me the most efficient version of my day." Now you have a default operating system instead of reinventing your schedule every morning. AUDIT YOUR TIME + MONEY Give AI your spending and say: "I want to free up $2,000 a month without dramatically changing our lifestyle. Show me where you would find it." Give AI your weekly calendar and say: "My priorities are health, family, income-producing work, and margin. Tell me what should be eliminated, delegated, batched, or moved." Sometimes the problem isn't that you need more time or money. You need to use what you already have better. THE BIG IDEA The people getting the best results from AI aren't necessarily asking better questions. They're giving better context. Don't ask: "What's a healthy dinner?" Ask: "I have 25 minutes, two hungry kids, chicken, broccoli, sweet potatoes, and Greek yogurt. I want something high-protein, kid-friendly, no seed oils, and minimal cleanup." The better you brief AI… The better it performs.   ** Last thoughts ** Imagine carrying around a world-class assistant everywhere you go. Someone who can organize, research, teach, plan, compare, coach, and help you think through almost anything. The goal isn't to think less. The goal is to spend less time stuck. Less time overwhelmed. Less time researching. And more time executing, creating, taking care of yourself, being with your people, and actually living your life. The next time you think: "I need to figure this out…" Try asking: "How could AI help me figure this out faster?"   This is the greatest time to ever be alive and AI can help your life be more efficient and filled with joy if you know how to use it!!

Could your space be quietly draining your energy without you even realizing it? This episode will help you see your home — and your habits —in a completely new way.   Janet Taylor, your Life Organizer, sits down with Mackenzie Scott, Certified Professional Organizer, operations manager, and lead organizer at Mission 2 Organize — one of the most recognized organizing companies in the country with an award-winning YouTube channel and over 10 years of consistent content. Mackenzie, affectionately known as Mac Attack, brings structure, joy, and serious expertise to every conversation.   In this episode you will learn:  The real mental and physical benefits of an organized space — and why some people do not even realize clutter is causing their anxiety until it is gone.   Why you do not have to be a minimalist to live an organized life — and how color coding your knickknacks can create visual peace without getting rid of everything you love.   How to identify the one problem to solve first so you get an immediate win and the motivation to keep going.   The post-it pile strategy — why collecting everything in one place is always the first step before organizing anything.   The power of a 10-minute tidy at the end of every day — and why it only works if you have the right amount of stuff for your lifestyle.   How Mackenzie and her husband hold a weekly planning meeting every Sunday — and why she says every person needs to have a weekly meeting with themselves first.   Why organizing is never a one-time event — and how to build maintenance into your life so the results actually last.   Taylor's Tip Time: Five small decluttering wins to reclaim mental energy today — clean out one junk drawer, clear off the kitchen counter, spend 15 minutes shredding, declutter the top of your dresser or nightstand, and put some shoes away. Small spaces, big mental shifts.   TossItTuesday: Dispose of those expired batteries responsibly. They are taking up space and they do not work anymore. Let them go.   Resource Roundup: Clear shoeboxes — one of the most versatile organizing tools in Janet's arsenal. Use them for batteries, candles, command hooks, tape, and more. Book suggestion: Janet's ebook Prepared and Organized — seven areas to tackle during challenging times.   Quote of the week: "Organizing isn't about perfection.

Level 4 is going to free you from being your family google or siri. "Hey mom (or dad or you) what's the password for…?" This level frees you from being tethered to your house and instead empowers your family to know where to find the answers. We are breaking down all the invisible work we do with information management in this second and final level of invisible work you do as the Home CEO. Paper Is Powerful, Universal, and Essential We all have different ways of doing things. But I explained why paper is powerful. Yes, I know we are of the digital age but paper substantiates what you tell people. They see the print on the paper and all of the sudden believe you. OR it's that paper that helps you to more easily settle an estate. It's also paper in any of the binders (I'm getting to those) that you can drop off to a friend that may be caring for you or to a CPA or lawyer when you need to have them work on something for you. And it's the paper you bring with you when you suddenly need to evacuate your home. And that's where the binders come in, in 2017, people were asking what to do with their filing cabinets and I was having to say leave them. I didn't like that. This way you can take all your important information with you when a natural disaster forces you to evacuate.   Binders All those papers with all the pertinent information can't all go in one binder right? Right! The whole idea is to take information out of your brain and combine it with all of the archival papers. The Paper Solution® is a series of binders that replaces your file cabinet and digital storage in many ways to get information to your family.  There are 4 binders you get in The Paper Solution.  Household Reference Binder -  this is basically a manual for how your home is cared for. The routine maintenance you keep. If someone bought your house, you could hand this to them and they could pick up where you take off after the sale.  Household Operation Binder - This binder is a fun one full of all the holiday and vacation information. It's also the information for things like travel and big celebrations that happen annually.  If you were sick or something, your loved ones could still successfully have that celebration. Finance Binder - Peace of mind binder because all the information someone would need to care for your finances if you were sick or settle your estate is in this binder. All your investments, bank accounts, credit cards, subscriptions, passwords, all of it is in this binder. If you are a digital person, there are digital editable forms too. You still need to print off a copy and place it in the binder, just in case.  Medical Binder - This is the binder people have the most resistance towards. It can be exhausting explaining each visit what is going on and treatments that have failed. This binder helps the doctor get up to speed quickly so that you can use the office visit time to look at solutions instead of answering #allthequestions. If it is a long term condition I encourage you to write up an explanation. It's the cliff notes of what has been going on and what you are looking for as far as treatment or behaviors you have noticed. Don't be fooled thinking all of the digital systems share information. And much to my surprise, medical records only have to be kept for 7 years, so there's not much history either. This puts you in control of your medical care and information about YOU. **Also available are the Warrior Mama Binder and the Launch Binder. You will know you are fully organized when your family goes to ask you for information and you can direct them to the binder that has the information.

A three-inch baboon bone bearing twenty-nine deliberate incisions was pulled from a South African mountain range in 1970. It is approximately 43,000 years old, and microscopic analysis shows the notches were made over time with different cutting tools, meaning someone was tracking something and coming back to update the record. It is the oldest known dataset in the world. Twenty thousand miles away and twenty thousand years later, temple administrators in Mesopotamia were pressing small clay tokens into wet clay to record quantities of grain and livestock, and in doing so they accidentally invented writing. Both were doing the same thing: turning observations into symbols that could outlast the observer. Both were creating data. And both were laying the foundation for every census, ledger, algorithm, and surveillance system that followed. Today's guest is Roopika Risam, author of Data Empire: The Power of Information to Organize, Control, and Dominate. We discuss how the Bronze Age collapsed in part because its diplomatic information network couldn't transmit clay tablets fast enough to coordinate a response to simultaneous crises, how Phoenician miners who couldn't read hieroglyphics invented the alphabet out of necessity in a Sinai desert mine, and why Qin Shi Huang's true immortality was not his terracotta army but his bureaucracy, the first government to treat data verification as a core function of the state. We look at how Herman Hollerith's punch card tabulator for the 1890 census became IBM and made human identity machine-readable. Risam argues that the digital age did not create data's power but inherited it, and that every algorithm processing our lives today carries the DNA of 43,000 years of counting, classifying, and controlling.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Do you ever feel like clutter affects you more deeply than it seems to affect others? Like a messy kitchen doesn't just annoy you—it actually dysregulates your entire day?

On to level 3, the household manager!  We are building in guardrails to pause, reflect, and think, without interruptions, about all the invisible work and get it all planned. For years I have stressed the importance of the Sunday Basket® and often say it's the first thing you should do in your organization journey. EXCEPT when we are talking about building these levels. For this framework you must first identify the housework you need to do and establish a cadence. Then organize your home in order for the household management in the Sunday Basket® to stick! The Sunday Basket® There are two options for the Sunday Basket®. You may get the Classic or Complete Sunday Basket®. I explained what is included with each option and I will give you the cliff notes that if you are more digital go with the Classic. Each week you can expect to spend roughly 90 minutes - 2 hours weekly after you have it set up and have established the routine. I can't make more people to help you with your household management and you can't make the people in your household do their "fair share." This safe holding place for your actionable papers and projects will free up about 5 hours for you to get more done!  When you delay decision making till Sunday a few things will happen. You will schedule your time better because you can think through your week and decide what you actually have time for. AND, the details may change or the task may just go away. While you are delaying someone else is still filling requests on demand and may say yes before you do on Sunday or "next week" AND they may start to realize you aren't the "go to" person anymore and there will be less pressure to always say yes. And don't tell me you can't. You have so much more say than you think you do. It may be overwhelming in the beginning but then it turns into a rewarding behavior. Deconstruct Your To Do List This is all the invisible work you do and don't really recognize will you hear these episodes or implement the Sunday Basket®. As the household manager you are constantly calendaring, weekly planning, coordinating, planning for learning, delegating, making returns then reordering, managing insurance, care for your cars, making sure you children have what the need for school, strategizing, buying, tracking, remembering, monitoring who's been to the dentist, doctor, had their annual eye exams, the invisible work list goes on and on. In your 20's it's like "This is easy!" because maybe you are only managing yourself and one car. But as your life grows in complexity so do your responsibilities. Now, as you remember you need to do all these mind numbing things, you should be writing them down on index cards. This is how you deconstruct your to do list. One thing on each card. You can move them around or delay each task based on importance. No need to keep rewriting your to-do list. This prevents your ship from sinking! What Do You Want?  You need to keep asking yourself, what do you want? When you delay your decision making you care in control of what you will spend your time on. I remember someone saying "Everytime you say yes to someone else, you say no to your family." And the other thing to remember when you are planning, strategically set time aside to accomplish the projects that are important to you. It's almost back to school time and the Sunday Basket® will help you really think about what you want and then you can plan how to get there. The Sunday Basket helps you to have a much more realistic allocation of your time, your talent, and your treasure.
