In this episode of Conversations with Erica, I am joined by productivity coach and Certified Professional Organizer® Lisa Griffith to explore what it really means to get organized and why traditional productivity advice often falls short.
This conversation goes beyond planners and apps. We talk about how overwhelm builds, why decision-making and prioritization are often the real challenges, and how to create systems that support follow-through.
If you have been feeling stretched thin or unsure where to focus, this episode offers a more grounded and sustainable way forward.
