I've been talking about health and fitness on the podcast a lot lately. In  Episode 283 , I shared my own wellness and weight loss journey. Then in  Episode 284 , I had my Director of Operations, Kelly Leardon, on the show to discuss weight loss and developing healthy eating and wellness habits. What each of those episodes had in common was Amanda Tress'  FASTer Way to Fat Loss   program, which Ke...

Every weight loss and wellness journey is different. Everyone has their own unique story to tell and I don't know about you, but when I hear how someone made a drastic change to their health and well being, it motivates me to do the same! So, I wanted to invite Kelly Leardon onto the podcast to talk about her wellness journey because not only is it inspiring, but she actually used a lot of the sam...

Most of us like to form our own opinions about what maintenance means to us. On the podcast, we talk a lot about the  cycle of getting organized  and  increasing productivity . But what about the maintenance stage of your organizational journey? What does it  really  mean to maintain something? According to the good old dictionary, maintenance is the process of maintaining or preserving a conditio...

Your inner thoughts can have a serious impact on your state of mind. If you see the world through a darkened lens, that negative way of thinking can quickly become a way of life. When I tell people that I used to be the queen of negativity, they find it hard to believe. I've since adopted a more positive outlook on life which I talk about in episode 261 of the podcast,  My Personal Seven-Year Tran...

Whenever spring hits, do you feel like you're in a mad rush to get everything organized? I know I do. I've often talked about the fact that I like to divide my year into three trimesters. Each one is carefully planned and, although it starts out completely organized, it ends in a chaotic whirlwind. If you feel like you're caught in an enormous tornado of tasks, not unlike the one from  The Wizard...

When our life gets unorganized, we tend to blame outside sources such as our spouse, our lack of money, not having enough time, and so on. But the truth is that your cluttered life (and home) has nothing to do with any of that. Those are just the things we like to  think  are holding us back. What's really holding us back from living a more organized life is having a plan to achieve that life. If...

I received an email the other day and it honestly had me in tears. It was from a listener of the podcast who reached out to thank me for being so open and honest about the struggles of motherhood in episode 261,  " My Personal Seven-Year Transformation ." She also talked about her own challenges that she faces on a daily basis as a mother of three boys, one of whom was born with a very rare, life-...

Do you ever feel like you've got too much on your plate? Sometimes, we can be so focused on making things more organized, efficient, and productive that we forget to pull the brakes. Do we really need to do all the jobs we're doing? If you've been listening to the last few episodes of the podcast, you'll notice that I've talked about shifting mindsets and changing habits a lot lately. We revealed ...

A few weeks ago in my regular Facebook LIVE on Tuesday mornings for the women in the 100 Day Home Organization Program, I started to expound on and articulate how I have moved into a new level of using my Sunday Basket. The first thing you need to know about Sunday Basket 3.0 is that it is not a physical product. Lisa, what do you mean it's not an actual product? You got me pumped up for nothing!...

I talk about organizing a lot on the podcast (it's called Organize 365 after all!). I've covered everything from  discovering your why  to the  Psychology of the Sunday Basket  and how to know  Which Workbox is Right for You ? But surprisingly, I've never addressed what living an organized life actually feels like... until now! In this episode, I reveal what an organized life really looks like. No...

Last week, we talked about why it's  impossible to be behind when you're organizing . We covered how organizing will always pay you in time and finished with a discussion about why you should aim for progress, not perfection. Shifting your mindset to focus on progress rather than perfection takes practice. We become so obsessed with ticking off every task on our to-do lists that we lose sight of t...

Do you ever feel like you're behind in your organizing routine? Maybe you went on a sunny vacation and came back with a stack of mail to sort? Or, perhaps you skipped a few days in the  100 Day All Home Program ? You might feel anxious, worried, or even a little guilty. But, here's the truth… After you start, it's physically impossible for you to be behind in organizing. Don't believe me? Listen t...

Let's be real. Not every item in your home will spark joy as soon as you see it or pick it up. And, it doesn't have to. In this episode of the podcast, I explore what we should do with the items that don't give us any real joy in our lives. But first, I've got a question for you… Have you ever read The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up by Marie Kondo? It's a great book that encourages readers to t...

The past year in the life of the Sunday Basket  has been a whirlwind! I wanted to pause and clarify the differences between the Sunday Basket Workshops, the Sunday Basket Club and the Paper Organizing Retreats. Why do we need a Sunday Basket anyway?! What do you do with your mail when it comes in your door? What about the ideas that flood your head while you're driving your kids to school? How abo...
