So I tidied my desk up before talking to Lucy!How organised are you? Do you make your bed? Do you have thing 'in order'?This week I'm chatting with Lucy Milligan Wahl, founder of LMW Edits, a boutique professional organizing company based in San Francisco. Lucy and her team go into folks homes in person or via Zoom and organise. The thinking is that a structured home lets you prioritise work, relationships and other activities.Lucy is also a big Evernote user so we chat about where she first found Evernote and how she uses it to manage her business.We also talk about how Lucy lights a candle to signify moving into deep work mode, how we separate work and home when you work from home and if we can sometimes organise a little too much.I really enjoyed this chat so make sure you check out Lucy's website, Instagram and YouTube channel:https://lmwedits.com/https://instagram.com/lmweditshttps://youtube.com/channel/UCn2el8k_VRKy4JxtsQQgrjA?Links 'n' CreditsIf you've enjoyed this episode then subscribe on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Amazon or your favourite podcast player.Also make sure you check out my Evernote newsletter Taming The Trunk on Substack.I'm your host, Jon Tromans and you can find me on my website, LinkedIn and Mastodon.Stomp and claps music by Playsound from Pixabay.

What a brilliant chat with Dr Melissa Gratias. I learnt a lot and I'm pretty sure you will too.Melissa is a Dr of Psychology, her PhD was in industrial organisational psychology, which is the study of workplace behaviour and since 2007 she's helped businesspeople worldwide be more focused, balanced, and productive.She describes herself as "a recovering perfectionist, a proponent of mimicking Dissociative Identity Disorder as a way to prioritise a task list, and an off-the-charts extravert.", so as you can imagine, this is a great high energy chat.Are we born productive or unproductive? Melissa gives us her thoughts on this and shares how folks with higher levels of conscientiousness tend to perform tasks better and are slightly more organised.We also talk time management tips, giving yourself permission to 'not remember' things and I was fascinated that back in the early 1900s we could only remember 7 (+/- 2) things simultaneously. Imagine what that number is now!You can connect with Melissa on LinkedIn and her website plus a whole host of other social platforms. Here's some links, give them a tap.https://melissagratias.com/https://www.linkedin.com/in/melissagratiashttps://twitter.com/melissagratiashttps://www.facebook.com/melissagratiasphdhttps://www.youtube.com/c/MelissaGratiashttps://www.instagram.com/melissagratias/Links 'n' CreditsIf you've enjoyed this episode then subscribe on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Amazon or your favourite podcast player.Also make sure you check out my Evernote newsletter Taming The Trunk on Substack.I'm your host, Jon Tromans and you can find me on my website, LinkedIn and Mastodon.Stomp and claps music by Playsound from Pixabay.
