308 - How to Fit In Behavior Change

<p>Recently, I’ve been talking about how learning to get organized is based in meeting <a href= "https://organize365.com/applying-maslows-hierarchy-to-your-organizing/"> different levels of needs</a> and by being exposed to <a href= "http://organize365.com/learning-organizational-skills-edgar-dales-cone-of-experience"> different teaching techniques</a>. This week on the podcast, I want to move from theory to practice. I want to talk to you about some specific ways to fit organizational behaviors into your schedule. <strong>I want to move you beyond a certain way to fold shirts and, instead, help you to change your behavioral habits.</strong> These habits make up 80% of our actions everyday, and we must PLAN and WORK to create change.</p> <p><strong>Big change over time comes from changing little habits on a regular basis.</strong> When I teach, I think hearing about real people in real situations is super helpful in applying information. So, I answer your question about irregular, unpredictable schedules. I also answer a listener question about being in the accumulation and survival stages at the same time (and I talk about both time and your space for this question). A third question addresses being organized when working two jobs and going to school.</p> <p>I will also send you back to some of my prior podcasts where I explore these changes in detail and give you much more information. Here are some other podcasts I have recorded that also help answer these questions and you can apply to working towards changing your habits and behaviors:</p> <ul> <li>I write out my schedule each week when I do my Sunday Basket®.
