Entrepreneurs often need to spin many plates at once, which can feel overwhelming. Lisa Woodruff joins me in this episode of The Sigrun Show to discuss how online business owners can go from overwhelmed to organized, and reclaim control over their lives.
Lisa Woodruff, who grew up from a family of entrepreneurs, created a system of organization called The Sunday Basket in 2002. This concept is so compelling that Lisa now has 24 licensed Sunday Basket workshop providers in two countries and conducts income-generating organizing classes online. Aside from being a successful entrepreneur and a home organization expert, she has also written the books The Mindset of Organization and How ADHD Affects Home Organization and created the blog and podcast Organize365.
In this episode, Lisa shares how you can plan your day so you can focus on your business and still be able to organize your home and become an organized entrepreneur. She goes over how you can have your home organized in a year by decluttering and organizing for only 15 minutes in a day. She also explains the value of the Friday Box, another organization system designed for busy and thriving entrepreneurs. When you follow these tips, you too can make the transition from overwhelmed to organized.
Stop putting these expectations on yourself of what a perfect home looks like. There is no such thing. - Lisa Woodruff
