Change of Plans
Sometimes you don’t need a better system.
You need a different plan.
If you’ve ever thought, "I know what I’m supposed to do, so why can’t I just do it?" you’re in the right place. Change of Plans grew out of something I kept seeing in my work as a professional organizer: people usually weren’t lacking information. They knew what they were “supposed” to do. The harder part was figuring out why the system that seemed so simple on paper wasn’t working in real life.
That’s the part I’ve become really curious about.
So, who am I?
I’m Christine. I spent many years as an educator before becoming a professional organizer, and now I’m training as a coach. Organizing has taught me a lot about people. I’ve learned that most people already know what they’re supposed to do. They don’t need me to tell them that the mail shouldn’t live on the kitchen counter. What interests me is why it keeps ending up there anyway. That’s what led me to coaching. I wanted to understand more about what gets in the way—and what might happen if, instead of trying harder to make the same plan work, we tried a different one. That’s really where Change of Plans came from.
