Direct Your Type A Talents Where It Counts: The Life-Changing Magic of Getting Organized
Whenever I tell people that I’ve hired a professional organizer to unpack our boxes and put things away, one of the most common responses I get is, "Oh - I could never do that, I’m WAY too Type A." And I get it. Working with an organizer means giving up a little bit of control. But if you've got a lot on your plate, why not direct your Type A Talents where it counts? In this rebroadcast of Episode 73, I'm talking all this organizing with Sara Landry West, owner of South Coast Organizers. Sara has now unpacked my family and gotten us settled TWICE and I couldn't be happier with the results.
Listen in to find out the four steps to organizing anything, and some of the misconceptions I had about working with an organizer.

Priorities vs. Productivity: How to Choose What's Most Important
When we think of “productivity,” we usually think about getting more things done. Checking more off our to-do lists. But that’s not the actual definition of productivity — and it’s definitely not how we want to live our lives. In this episode, I talk about the real definition of productivity, why I want to reframe it to include priorities, and how you can actually decide what to work on next instead of just “doing more.” SHOWNOTES for Episode 126

*Big News* What’s Next for It’s About Time
Mistakes get a bad rap, but they’re actually a pretty important part of our lives. Ideally, we make a mistake when trying something new, learn from it, and move on. Mistakes like, for example, trying a time management strategy without adjusting it to fit YOU, or buying a fancy planner with the hopes that it’ll ease your struggles. I’ve made these same mistakes, and I’ve learned from them. I took it one step further and created a new time management method that works with you, as well as your goals and values.

Customer Reviews
Anna is amazing!!!!
I had no idea I needed you in my life. I actually found you from an interview you did with another podcast I listen to. In that interview, something just caught my attention so I started at episode 1 of your podcast. Girl, I’m so glad I did. I have “modified” my life and my things are getting done better than ever. Thank you.
Motivational, Educational, and Inspiring!
Great insight on how to organize your time, establish boundaries, and delegate. Wonderfly referenced with notes on time management tips and tricks.
Need This In My Life
Love this podcast. My brain works in a totally different way than Anna’s, so hearing the simple yet useful methods that she and her guests have developed to stay organized and on top of life is seriously game changing. Putting these systems or ideas into action saves me so much time and energy, as they would be difficult for me to conceptualize on my own. Not to mention, every episode feels like I’m sitting around listening to my (much more organized and very smart) friends. Thanks Anna and Guests, you make Momming easier for this listener!
