INSIGHT

Work Pulls Organizers Away

Lisa explains work organization leads organizers to higher-paying corporate work, pulling focus away from homes.
She says the revenue and individualized nature of work made the shift inevitable after the pandemic.

ADVICE

Don’t Scale One Work Solution For All

Avoid trying to universally strategize work systems because business needs are highly individualized.
Focus household strategy where common operational patterns allow scalable solutions.

Are you sitting down? I have some very exciting news and I have some shocking news but I am here to explain myself. What do you want first? The exciting news or shocking news? I’m dying to let the cat out of the bag so be prepared to be shocked!

Organize 365® will no longer be supporting work. This decision was not made lightly and I’m still nervous announcing it. As the visionary of Organize 365®, I have to make tough decisions. I started Organize 365® focused on the home. I branched out into all of these other areas of life to support the community and have recently found myself spread too thin. I am narrowing my focus on the household manager again. I am getting the PhD to do research and it is research on the home.

I know three things. I want to focus on the home not to be distracted by work which is so individualized and I want to provide the most benefits possible. The second, work, is never done. And it’s difficult to universally strategize work for each individual’s work. With the house you take 18 months to three years and you have completed your home. I want to get people to the point where they have to struggle with themselves to decide what to do with their extra time and no more house holding them back.

And gosh darnit, I’m good at helping household managers to systematize and optimize their homes. That’s the third thing! This is the light in me that I want to shine for others. This is what I was uniquely created to do!

Now, get excited because there are some deals to be had in this transition! Products are 50% off while supplies last until December 31st.

-The Friday Workbox is going away

-That includes the teacher/education workbox because it’s work related. I explained all the deals, courses, and clubs that will be discontinued or put into legacy status.

There is no need to panic. If there was anything you wanted to add to your supplies or certifications for work, you still can until the end of the year. Take advantage of these amazing deals because I want to see you continue to thrive in work.
