In this episode, I introduce you to Ginger H., and we get to talk about the Sunday Basket® and the habits that Ginger has established. Ginger is an empty nester with her husband and enjoys using her Sunday Basket® and participating in Planning Day. 

Listen in as we discuss the necessity of planning and creating habits. As we talk you can see where attending Planning Day is optional, but planning for the next 120 days is not optional.

She also explains how the The Paper Solution® Medical Binder was such a delight for her physician and The Paper Solution® Financial Binder has been great for the diversity in documents between her and her husband. 

Ginger advice is, “Do your husband a favor, do your kids a favor and get yourself organized, use the Sunday Basket®, use The Productive Home Solution™, use the The Paper Solution® Binders so that you know where everything is”

In this episode, I introduce you to Dawn F. and we get to talk about books! All the books! Dawn is an educator who has been a K-2 reading specialist for the past 17 years. Reading is her true passion which means she has a lot of books. Which means we get to talk about organizing books, which books to keep, how many books should you keep and how to store and display books. 

Dawn’s favorite quote is, “I would be most content if my children grew up to be the kind of people who think decorating consists mostly of building enough bookshelves.” I absolutely love this quote.

Dawn describes herself as “organizationally challenged.” She has found that the Organize 365® approach works for her. During the pandemic, she found the time and energy she needed to start getting truly organized. Her Sunday Basket® is running smoothly, takes little time to do each week and she feels amazing when she’s able to find all her paperwork at a moment’s notice. She moved and downsized recently and is implementing functional organizing throughout her new home. 

Listen until the end to hear how I have been using common school supply organizing tools for simple bathroom organization!

EPISODE RESOURCES:

• The 24 Hour Rule
• The Sunday Basket®
