Quick Announcement! If you are reading the show notes and listening to this podcast when it first comes out, there is about a week left until our STEP Momentum accountability group begins! (Starting on Wednesday, September 3rd, at 10am Pacific.)

Our signature program, Steps to Everyday Productivity, helps you build a simple system to organize everything in your life–projects, tasks, goals, routines, paperwork, email, and all the “stuff” in your physical, digital, and mental space. When you organize your MIND, your space naturally follows!

This is event is for all members of our STEP Mastery program, and if you want to learn more and get our BEST offer to join, click here to visit the STEP Momentum page!

Eric and I recorded a brief video telling more about it, and you can click here or on the image below to watch!

We’d love to have you join us as we go through the STEP program together! If you have any questions at all, please send a message to email (at) learndobecome.com and we’ll get back to you shortly!

In today’s podcast, we’ll be sharing 10 stories from our community members that each represent one facet of life that is benefited by getting organized (and we’ll share tips and tricks along the way!) Let’s dive in!

Principle #1 – Microbursts work.

Principle #2 – Dedicated, distinct spaces–to work and to store things–create peace and fulfillment.

Patty shared, “Selected the kitchen as my Command Central. I did #clearthespace before setting up. For now, all the folders Goals/Routines/Current/Projects/etc… are behind the tickler file on the left. The binder contains my LDB instruction manual for references and cheat notes.

“I set up my writing desk in my bedroom for journaling, writing and privacy when I need it for calls, etc. No mess on this flat surface allowed. I have a work desk area in my formal living room as well. I will likely set up a separate tickler system for the home based business at some point soon, goals and CBNAL too.

“One step at a time Happy to be here, thanks for all the support!”

Here’s the “before” picture:

Principle #3 – Doable weekly routines will maintain your system effortlessly.

One of our STEPpers shared this message and photos of their calm, tidy, and peaceful home:

“Just want to encourage you all. For the first time in my adult life I am not freaking out when I know people are coming over! We may occasionally have a small pile here or there but it gets taken care of weekly. DO NOT GIVE UP!!! You can do this!!! It is definitely a process but so worth the time!”

Principle #4 – You can become your own home organizer once you learn a very simple system.

Loleta wrote, “My wonderful daughter built this closet for me (when she renovated my home office). I wasn’t allowed to put anything in it until she was ready to assist me. Hah, now I don’t need to wait on her. I’ve got the STEP System. This is where I will store my support materials for work.”

Principle #5 – Small steps (that make sense to your brain) can lead you out of even the deepest challenges.

Ruby shared, “As I’ve been recovering from cancer treatment, I’ve been going through the revamped STEP program and have gotten excited about it again. Somewhere in the garage boxes is my previous command central [after moving and having most of our belongings in storage]. But I decided to start fresh and build a new one so I can get going once again!

“I still don’t have my routines, mind sweep, current projects, next in line projects, CBNAL, etc, but my machine is built and ready to handle it!! The rest of my office is a mess again, but that will be one of my first projects. In the pictures my work desk (I work from home) is on the left and my Command Central is on the desk on the right. I’m just proud of the fact I finally had enough energy since cancer to accomplish this today!”

Principle #6 – It only takes a simple shift to “lift the fog.”

Principle #7 – Change can be systematic, not scary.

Principle #8 – Your mind can feel peaceful when it knows “later” items will actually get done.

Karie wrote, “My office and creative space is finally clear and organized!! My Command Central is on the left side of my desk. It took me a little longer than I hoped but boy does it feel good! There is still some Level 4 work to do on the cabinet but I have clear, organized space to be productive and focused. Before and after pics show the difference.”

Principle #9 – Your heart wants to see dreams becoming reality. Once you see this process as a simple puzzle to solve, you’ll feel a giant sense of relief.

One of our program members wrote in and said, “I’m really excited about what lies ahead. The more I dive into the STEP Program, the more I can see myself becoming the organized, focused person I’ve always wanted to be.

“It feels amazing to know that with each step I take, I’m moving closer to turning my ideas and plans into reality. Suddenly, projects that once felt overwhelming now seem exciting – almost like a puzzle I can’t wait to solve. It’s such a relief to feel this newfound sense of clarity and motivation. Bye-bye procrastination – I’m ready to get things done!

“Thanks again for your support. I really appreciate how helpful and encouraging you’ve been.”

Principle #10 – When you get your mind “unstuck,” you’ll be amazed by the impact and influence of your work.
