519 - Organizing my PhD journey Part 1

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">I just experienced a</span> <a href= "https://organize365.com/podcast/golden-windows"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Golden Window</span></a> <span style= "font-weight: 400;">and I want to share with you how I got organized to embark on my back-to-school journey!</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">When I shared with you all that I’m going back to school to earn a PhD, I got a lot of suggestions. So many amazing suggestions that I literally started a pink slash pocket so I wouldn’t lose any of these valuable ideas. And, of course, I want to share everything with you.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Here’s why - this journey is super helpful if you are also going back to school</span> <strong>(</strong><span style="font-weight: 400;">whether you’re working towards a PhD or a different degree</span><strong>)</strong><span style="font-weight: 400;">. And it’s also helpful to apply my journey and my experiences to any and all of life’s changes. The type of organizing I’m doing to get ready for my PhD experience is no different than the type of organizing and preparation I would recommend for any life change or transition - having a baby, moving, starting a new job, getting ready to retire, getting ready to welcome grandchildren. When you are getting ready to make a change (especially one that will impact your daily schedules and routines) it’s important to look around your home and at your organizational systems to make them as functional, organized and efficient as possible for what life is going to look like for the foreseeable future.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This is a whole new life transition.  Remember recently when I explained the difference between</span> <a href= "https://organize365.com/podcast/ready"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Ready</span></a><span style= "font-weight: 400;">…</span><a href= "https://organize365.com/podcast/set"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Set</span></a><span style= "font-weight: 400;">…</span><a h
