EP 41: How We Got Organized: Conversations for Good with Corinne + Briggs

“Wow, I have agency and can make things actually happen for my life,” says Briggs Rolfsrud, who returns to co-host the latest episode of Conversations for Good with best friend and business partner Corinne Morahan. Today the two discuss how their individual approaches to organizing—and discover things they never knew about each other, or even about themselves. 

 

Of course, getting organized benefits not only us but the relationships around us. Briggs shares what she learned about setting boundaries for her newly found free time, while Corinne explains how she learned to let each family member take their own personal approach to the established routine. Briggs shares her family’s version of Corinne’s Sunday reset and the sweet reason her daughter still sometimes has trouble getting out the door in the morning. They reveal which step of the organizing process was the game changer for both of them.

 

Join in for an insightful conversation between Corinne and Briggs to learn how to embrace your own unique organizing style. 

 

Quotes

• “I didn’t know I had or needed to do anything above and beyond what came naturally. I didn’t put any thought into it at all and I think I got away with it for so long…because I didn’t have that many things that I would move around or need to find a place for, etc.” (4:02 | Briggs Rolfsrud)
• “I just want everyone to hear that: Briggs is saying she has plenty of space and she lives in a 2400-square-foot house, which is not a small house, but it is not a huge house. I think a lot of people think, ‘If I could just have more space, then I could live organized like Briggs or Corinne.’ It is not the square footage.” (27:18 | Corinne Morahan)
• “If I don’t want to do the thing, I’m just going to say, ‘No,’ and I’ve had many people ask me to do things, to do volunteer work, different jobs…they try to pull me in, and I’ve said, ‘I just can’t do it.’ I could, technically, I’d then be stressed. I think it’s a good thing to say no even when you can say yes. You don’t have to say yes just because.”(32:59 | Briggs Rolfsrud)
• “We have those throughout the day in all areas of our lives where it looks like everyone is adopting our rules in a way that works for them so that we’re working as a family unit, everyone’s meeting expectations but just not every second of every day. It’s also within the confines of reality.” (39:02 | Corinne Morahan)
