Why You Can’t Get Organized (And How to Fix It in 2026)

You’ve probably told yourself you're just “bad at staying organized.” Maybe you've bought the planner, downloaded the app, tried all the systems, and still nothing sticks. In this episode, I’m sharing what’s actually behind that cycle (hint: it’s not laziness or lack of discipline). We’ll explore the deeper reasons your brain resists change, the link between self-concept and organization, and why safety (not systems) must come first. If you want 2026 to feel different, this is where you begin.
