Is your calendar a mess? Are you running out of time to accomplish the most important tasks?

If you ever feel like your week is one giant scramble of client calls, last-minute tasks, tending to fires, and wondering what the heck you’re supposed to be doing next...you’re going to LOVE this episode.

I brought on Holly Haynes, a 7-figure business owner, productivity expert, and queen of batching, to break down exactly how she built her wildly successful business working only 8-10 hours a week (yep, seriously). She shares her signature CEO Week framework, how to create theme days, and why you absolutely need a “creative block” in your schedule.

We also dug into:

• How Holly went from working a corporate job with twins in kindergarten to building a 7-figure business in just 5 years.
• The simple formula of CEO Week: theme days + a creative block + a CEO day.
• What happens when your tasks spill over into other days (hint: it’s not the end of the world).
• The most common resistance people have when trying to implement theme days, and how to overcome it.
• Why your business should feel a little boring if it’s working right (yup).
• How she strategically added team members to shrink her calendar, not stretch it.
• Simple ways she plans her days to avoid feeling scattered and overwhelmed.

I also share where the resistance that comes up, and where I realized my boundaries had shifted, and how I was inspired to make changes.

This week, I’m pulling back the curtain with a personal update (yes, sweaty palms and all) and diving into a topic I love, but one that might just flip your organizing assumptions on their head.

After a dreamy trip to NYC with my daughter and gearing up for a summer full of lake days and mastermind meetups, I’m sharing ten unexpected truths about getting organized that most people never talk about.

Spoiler alert: if you’re spending hours digging for files, jumping between tools, or feeling major business burnout, this is a sign! You’re not broken, you’re just disorganized.

Let’s fix that.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why being “perfectly organized” is NOT the goal (and what is)
• The real cost of digital clutter—hint: it’s time, and it affects everything
• How systems = freedom (and not prison)
• The one thing you must do before hiring help
• Why your brain is not a filing cabinet and what to use instead
• How to treat organizing like a practice, after the project
• Why DIYing your organization is holding you back
• How being organized is a form of self-respect (YES, it is)

What if your clutter isn’t just the stuff on your desk or the pile of old emails in your inbox?

What if clutter runs way deeper, showing up as fear, indecision, and impostor syndrome in your business?

In this episode, I’m diving into the psychology of clutter with Samantha Brown, professional organizer, coach, and host of The Pro Organizers Coach Podcast. Samantha and I are both organizers and coaches, and this conversation was a fun blend of mindset and practical strategies.

You’ll hear us discuss why clutter occurs in the first place, how it infiltrates your business, and, most importantly, how to finally release it so you can move forward with greater clarity, confidence, and freedom.

If you’ve ever felt stuck, overwhelmed, or like your brain is running a million miles an hour… this episode will help you clear the mental clutter so you can get back to doing what you love.

Here’s what you’ll learn:

• The surprising link between physical clutter and mindset blocks
• How clutter creates “hot spots” in your business (and how to find them)
• Why perfectionism, fear of the unknown, and overthinking can keep you stuck
• How to “assign homes” for the thoughts that clutter your mind
• Why clarity leads to confidence (and more clients)
• The simple mindset shift that makes it easier to release what’s no longer serving you
• How failing faster can actually build your business faster
• Sneaky ways clutter hides in your offers, workflows, and systems
