I just experienced a Golden Window and I want to share with you how I got organized to embark on my back-to-school journey!
When I shared with you all that I'm going back to school to earn a PhD, I got a lot of suggestions. So many amazing suggestions that I literally started a pink slash pocket so I wouldn't lose any of these valuable ideas. And, of course, I want to share everything with you.
Here's why - this journey is super helpful if you are also going back to school (whether you're working towards a PhD or a different degree). And it's also helpful to apply my journey and my experiences to any and all of life's changes. The type of organizing I'm doing to get ready for my PhD experience is no different than the type of organizing and preparation I would recommend for any life change or transition - having a baby, moving, starting a new job, getting ready to retire, getting ready to welcome grandchildren. When you are getting ready to make a change (especially one that will impact your daily schedules and routines) it's important to look around your home and at your organizational systems to make them as functional, organized and efficient as possible for what life is going to look like for the foreseeable future.
This is a whole new life transition. Remember recently when I explained the difference between Ready…Set…Go? I have completed all household projects, put systems in place, reorganized my schedule, and I am in "Go" mode. This has been a major transition for me and I really evaluated how I spend my time, my habits, my routines, and looked for 30 hours I could devote to my post-baccalaureate first, and then my PhD.
I will be taking you all on this journey with me. I could not be more excited and in four short years I will have earned my General PhD in Psychology from Fielding University!
