Using Values to Transform Your Space, Schedule + Spirit

“So many people see organization as very rigid and it has to be a specific way. It’s how you want to design it for your life. It's very personal,” says Jennifer Major, Holistic Organizer and Productivity Specialist. Jennifer started her career as an HR rep and soon learned that this wasn't her niche. Along the way, though, she discovered her passion for giving close friends organizational advice and decided to pursue this as a full-time career instead.

On today’s episode, Jennifer dives deep into the ins and outs of organization, specifically for the neurodivergent mind. She explains the importance of aligning our spaces and schedules for a less stressful approach to organization. She uses the example of losing your keys in your space: it sets you back a few minutes and ultimately sidetracks your entire schedule. Jennifer explains that losing your keys once or twice is perfectly normal, but if it is an everyday occurrence, an organizational connection between your spaces and schedules needs to be a priority.

Tune into today’s episode of The Neurodivergent Leader to hear more of Jennifer’s organizational tips and tricks. Learn about the importance of a value-based system when it comes to organization, how to schedule out time for simple things like taking a nap, and why the neurodivergent mind can benefit from connecting their spaces and schedules.
