  • Are you having trouble staying organized? You may have gone through the process of organizing, but it never seems to stay that way.

    On today's episode of The Organized Coach Podcast, I dive into the heart of maintaining organization in your coaching business. I walk you through the five essential steps to getting organized, starting with sorting and purging - the decluttering steps, moving into assigning homes and setting limits - the organizing steps, and finally, the fifth critical step of maintaining the structure you’ve created.

    I discuss how crucial it is to tie maintenance tasks to existing routines or tasks to make them more manageable. For example, you could clean your file drawer during tax season or refresh your closet when the seasons change.

    I also discuss the benefits of setting up structured maintenance appointments and having an accountability partner to ensure consistency.

    I aim to help you streamline tasks, reduce stress, and keep your business running smoothly.

    Are you ever mad at your past self for not doing a better job organizing your business from the beginning?

    It would have been so much easier if someone had given us the resources and knowledge we needed. But... we didn't know what we didn't know.

    This week, I experienced this myself when making a list of my podcast guest appearances. They were not all in one place, so I "wasted" time trying to put this list together, annoyed that I hadn't done this from the beginning.

    My experience inspired this episode. I thought of the things that I wish I had organized from the very beginning, and I thought of my clients and what they wish they had organized.

    Let me tell you, getting organized takes a lot more work when you've accumulated all the stuff. So, if you are new to business, take notes. And if you've been in business for a while and are wishing you had started sooner, NOW is the time. Your future self will thank you immensely.

    What do you wish you had organized from the start? Please message me on Instagram and let me know what yours are that I missed.

    I share 10 critical elements I wish I had organized from the beginning of my coaching business. These elements include maintaining digital files, tracking podcast guest appearances, organizing funnel links, recording assets and freebies, and more.

    I've packaged my solution to all of these in Organized Coach Academy where I help all coaches get their businesses and their assets organized. I break it down into simple modules and include monthly calls so you don't stay stuck.

  • In this episode of the Organized Coach Podcast, I discuss organizing your closet and creating a wardrobe with insights from guest Sarah Horgan.

    Sarah is a full-time working mom + wife who lived with clutter and found her way to the other side. She radically changed her own life after a stage 4 cancer diagnosis. Forced to examine everything, including her perfectionism and people-pleasing, she realized all the stuff (and not just the physical stuff) was standing in her way of living her life, her way.

    After embracing minimalism and finding her way to simplicity, Sarah started Simple + Intentional to support other women in doing the same. She encourages and inspires others through her blog, Instagram account, and podcast.

    Sarah lives in Toronto with her husband and daughter. She loves the outdoors, a strong cup of tea, and is following her dream of writing a book!

    In this episode, Sarah shares her personal journey. She emphasizes that decluttering is not about the stuff but about understanding our buying behaviors and the psychology behind clutter. We focus on the importance of an organized wardrobe, offering practical tips for decluttering and organizing clothes to reduce decision fatigue and enhance personal style.

    We also delve into the relationship between our belongings and self-perception, advocating for a mindful approach to consumerism and the benefits of a minimalistic lifestyle.

    Sarah provides specific strategies for building a versatile, comfortable, and loved wardrobe that aligns with personal style and body image, ultimately promoting self-care and a more organized life.

    Some things to listen for that really impacted me:

    Don't start your day with negative thoughts.You can't out-organize too much stuff.Decluttering and organizing is a form of self-care.Clutter is never about the stuff. It's about our buying behaviors, our emotions, and our comfort.Our brains are wired for scarcity. We are teaching our brains to think differently.Sarah defines an organized wardrobe in three parts.You can declutter for real, or you can fake it. This will help you get started!Depending on your season, take it as far as you have the capacity to.Don't be tempted to buy things that are "okay." Invest in "amazing."

    From our conversation, I'm doing the following to create an easy closet I love to walk into every morning:

    Choosing my favorite items - analyze what I love about them.Decluttering my closet by category. (jeans, tanks, t-shirts)Managing my impulsivity. Being okay with the wait. Practicing the pause.Adding a tab to my Idea Tracker with brands I love, things I want to invest in (missing pieces of a minimalistic wardrobe), etc.
