Organize 365 Podcast
523 - Lisa's Organization Story 2012
/
When we left off in the previous episode, I was in a pit of despair. I wish I could say I was out of it by 2012. Spoiler alert – not quite. But 2012 is when a monumental shift began to happen.
I was 39 years old by this point. I quit my job. Our family was sinking into debt. Our kids’ medical needs were still high. I didn’t even recognize my house (it was a wreck). And my marriage was feeling the strain.
My inherent organizational ability had gotten me this far in life, but now everything I knew about the organization was not enough. I didn’t have a playbook or framework for being the person I needed to be – hosting the holidays, having kids with busy schedules (and going to two different schools), and all the other positions I found myself filling.
That led me to explore how we become disorganized. Part of it is that we get to a point where we no longer have a story we are working towards.
This episode is significant because when you find Organize 365®, you’re likely a pretty organized person looking for more tips and tricks to be even more productive. But more of us stumble across Organize 365® when we realize, “I can no longer continue this way for the rest of my life; there has to be another way.” And the good news is that if you have had this thought – there is another way. Change can be uncomfortable. But it is through this discomfort that you transform. I’ve seen it time and time again in the Organize 365® community.
You may not expect that when you need to learn the skill of organization, the most is usually at a point in your life where you don’t have the time and money to do so. But by not budgeting the resources to get organized, you won’t be able to quickly get out of re-living the same story you are trying to get out of. This is where I found myself in 2012. I was in the wrong account. Tune in and find out how I began to turn it around in 2012.
