Episode Summary:

In this episode of The One Program Podcast, host Kristen Edmiston explores the foundational habit of organization and its role in helping business owners, leaders, and entrepreneurs overcome the overwhelm. Organization is the first step toward finding harmony with our most valuable resources—time, money, and energy. Drawing from her personal experience and research, Kristen introduces the six Excellent Potential Habits outlined in The One Book: Organization, Prioritization, Creativity, Storytelling, Visualization, and Reflection. This episode kicks off a series diving deep into each of these habits, starting with the first domino: organization.

3. Practical Benefits of Organization: Saves time, reduces errors, and creates a sense of self-agency. It also builds confidence, streamlines efforts, and fosters motivation and innovation.

4. The Six Excellent Potential Habits: Organization is just the beginning. The remaining habits—Prioritization, Creativity, Storytelling, Visualization, and Reflection—interlink to create harmony and efficiency in both business and life.
