Get Organized for Good Podcast

We don't have great days, we make great days. The best way to set yourself up for a great day–which in turn leads to a series of great days, positive forward momentum and upward spirals versus downward spirals–is to optimize your morning routine. Today, I will show you how to do just that by sharing how I spend my own mornings—from workouts to my beauty routine, to quality time with my husband and kids, division of household labor and work-at-home days vs. office days–while encouraging you, as always, to make the routine your own. 

Learn how you can find your own fit, what works best for you and what doesn’t, and how to find the pleasure pockets that make even the hard parts enjoyable–or at least bearable. You'll learn why a strong morning routine really starts the night before, the technique I employ that is used by top athletes, speakers and CEOs, and the one thing you can do every morning that will literally change your life.

“Wow, I have agency and can make things actually happen for my life,” says Briggs Rolfsrud, who returns to co-host the latest episode of Conversations for Good. Today, we are discussing how our individual approaches to organizing—and discovering things we never knew about each other or even about ourselves.

Of course, getting organized benefits not only us but the relationships around us. Briggs shares what she learned about setting boundaries for her newly found free time, while I explain how I learned to let each family member take their own personal approach to the established routine. Briggs shares her family’s version of my Sunday reset and the sweet reason her daughter still sometimes has trouble getting out the door in the morning. We reveal which step of the organizing process was the game changer for both of us.
