13. To-do Lists Are So Last Week

In this episode, Sarah sits down with productivity expert and founder of Life is Organized, Mridu Parikh. She’s spent almost a decade as a Professional Organizer, in-home and coaching clients around the world. Now Mridu help ambitious women go from overwhelmed and overloaded to in control, (and confident that nothing will fall through the cracks), so they can thrive at work and at home. This one's for all the moms who are suddenly home-schooling, attending video conferences, trying new recipes and managing this new normal. I’ve been talking a lot recently about how we’ll have a “before” the virus and an “after” the virus perspective on life. Much like our ancestors did about World War II, they were always very clear about life “before the war” and “after the war”. As we edited and planned to release this episode, at the beginning of week 2 of our own quarantine, it was abundantly clear that this was a “before the virus” interview. Listen for what life was like for you before we started this quarantine, when Mridu talks about all the “dings” and “beeps” that can make us feel so distracted, notice if that’s still happening for you. Have things changed a little bit? Does it feel the same for you? How can you apply what she teaches us to how you’re living now and the distractions we’re facing now?
