In this podcast series, I will be diving into organizing the business of work. I will be taking you along with me for a workweek that I recorded in November 2021.

At Organize 365®, we divide our work into four categories. As a shortcut, we use the Friday Workbox® colors to categorize the different kinds of work. These colors are pink, purple, blue, and green. 

Creating a shared vocabulary and defining different kinds of work gets all of our team on the same page. Together, we move faster in the same direction and have fewer episodes of miscommunication. 

Today is Thursday - It is an all pink day for me.

It is important to both work in and on your business. Working on your business means taking time for your personal development, your growth, your mindset, your skillset, and thinking about where you’re headed in the future.

You need days like this when you can step back to work on yourself and dream for your business. 

On Thursdays, I usually focus on myself. I spend time raising my lid so I can lead Organize 365® and the dream team to the next level. I use these days for coaching programs, conferences, webinars, podcasts, and books. Instead of joining a coaching program right now, I’ve instead joined a couple of round tables for C-level executives and for business owners in the Cincinnati area. 

I have been spending my Thursday mornings meeting with other members of these round tables. On Thursday afternoons, I’ll often do things that I personally need to do like doctor’s appointments or clothes shopping. No one expects me in the office on Thursdays and I can do whatever I want!

In this podcast, I will take you along and talk to you at different times during my workday. I’ll share with you who I’m meeting with today, how I got a rare lunch with my husband, and how I handled some unexpected changes to my schedule.

What activities and resources are you using for your pink days to work on yourself and on your business?

Friday Workbox® Playlist

Lisa Woodruff is a home organization expert, productivity specialist, and author of multiple books including The Paper Solution and How ADHD Affects Home Organization. As a former teacher, Lisa understands how the executive functions of the brain process tasks and help or hinder your attempts to “get organized”. The truth is, we all need an external brain to support our complex and fast-paced lives. Lisa will guide you by first identifying your thoughts as information that is composed of ideas, to-dos, and routine tasks. All the thoughts are captured in written form so they can be sorted and containerized. The Business Friday Workbox® was designed to externalize the executive functions of our brain with visual cues for our work. The Business Friday Workbox® divides these tasks into 4 kinds of work - new projects/ products, current projects/ products, team communication & professional development, and routine job description tasks. This common understanding of the 4 kinds of work aids team discussions and makes each kind of work more tangible. The weekly habit of taking time to conduct weekly planning and focusing on the next thing that needs to be done is how naturally organized employees move projects forward towards completion.These podcast episodes originally aired on the Organize 365® podcast and are curated here for easy access and sharing. Lisa believes organization is not a skill you are born with. It is a skill that is developed over time and changes with each season of life. Lisa has helped thousands of women reclaim their homes and finally get organized with her practical tips, encouragement, and humor through her blog and podcast at Organize365.com.
