#98- Organize – Making Space for What Matters

 

Episode 3 of the Pattern Shift podcast brings us to the O in the Ja, Wol Framework: Organise. If the word “organise” makes you think of colour-coded spreadsheets or Marie Kondo-style closets—this one’s for you.

Because organising your business isn’t about perfection. It’s about making space. Space to think. Space to rest. Space to focus on what actually matters.

In this episode, I share how clutter—mental, emotional, digital, and physical—creates friction that slows us down. Especially if you're neurodivergent (like me), clutter can trigger overwhelm, decision fatigue, or the sense that you’re never caught up.

I talk about the tools that work for me—a mix of Bullet Journaling, a digital calendar, and Notion—and how I resist the urge to chase new shiny tools and instead stick with what’s “good enough.”

We also explore the emotional side of decluttering: the guilt of letting go, the fear of missing out, the stories we tell ourselves about what we “should” be doing. And I offer examples of small shifts—like simplifying offers and restructuring email flows—that made a big impact on my clarity and peace of mind.

The episode wraps with a reminder that organising is a creative act. It’s not just admin. It’s a practice of caring for your future self.

This episode is for anyone who’s craving calm, clarity, and space to actually enjoy their business.
