My dream is a STEP (Steps to Everyday Productivity) Command Central on every desk–because I believe it will solve the “overwhelm” and change the world.
In today’s episode (click above on the media player!), I’m sharing a few really important things:
(1) Why a STEP Command Central is so unique—and so needed today
(2) What the components of the STEP Command Central actually ARE
(3) How it will impact your life so you can manage your self-care, your family, and your business
(4) And how you can use your Command Central to more fully find and live your purpose
Hi April,
I love your voice that is one of the things that sold me to the steps, You have this beautiful soothing voice, and I love your passion, your faith and sharing your thoughts and feelings with the community.
Me, I bought the step program a year ago, and as usual, every program I buy its done unfinished, but today, I decided to just take some small action and listen to this segment and I am glad, I did. I did find hope, this is me… scattered, lost in thoughts and papers, overwhelmed, I described my situation like this, all my thoughts and things are floating right above my head, I am in this field trying to catch them to so that I can captured them in put them someone in a box, collect them, but suddenly it is so hard that I just decide to go with the flow and just grab the one that is closest to me and let the other ones overwhelmed me and get all over me. Thank you. I will be taking a picture of my desk or what will be my command central and post it.
Oh, Lucy, you can do this!! I am so, so excited for you. And grateful!!
Lucy, I am brand new here, and SO UNDERSTAND your letter! I think I may be in that field – right next to you!!!
April and Eric,
I have always loved books on organization but your program takes it so much further. Thank you for helping jump start my progress I have begun to see progress. It is definitely worth the money.
Thank you for your kind words! We’re thrilled to have you with us and we look forward to hearing your success stories!
Thank you for a great podcast! You were so honest about where you are at and your passion for what you are doing! Great job!
I have the STEP mastery program that I purchased about a year ago. It is time to revisit and pick up some parts that I dropped along the way that is causing some angst!
So, like Lucy I also purchased my STEP Program a long time ago and I’ve yet to “finish” the steps! I really do believe in this program, in large part do to you April! I agree with Lucy about your passion and your voice.. you encourage and comfort at the same time! I felt so supported when I was doing the steps!!! Bless you for making this..”us” your mission!! I am starting fresh today (after putting my command central on the back burner for almost a whole year due to a major life interruption) by listening to this podcast and I’m filled with a new excitement about my command central to become a working reality and not just a dream! Like Lucy, I’ll also be sending a picture of what my updated “before” looks like, because I’ve been especially blessed by everyone else’s willingness to let us see we’re not alone in our piles and there is hope in this program!!
April, I was so anxious to reply before that I forgot to even say hello! Soo, Hello April!! 🙂 and thank you again for everything you do!!! I’ve enjoyed and appreciated every step I’ve taken with you and when I’ve stepped in the wrong direction I love knowing that you’re right there waiting to help when I’m ready to try again.. like a true friend! What a gem you are :))
Theresa, I am SO excited for you–and YES! Let’s make your Command Central a real thing. It will totally change your life. 🙂 Thank you for your kind words. We feel so, so grateful to have this incredible community! Sending a huge virtual hug!
April,
I bought the cubbies piece and an inbox and have the same vertical file, but I am still a mess! Maybe I just have too many projects in my cubbies? I think I should be less busy now that I’m down to 1 child at home (from 10!) but my days and my calendar (and my messy desk!) are still full.
Any deas? I’d send you a photo but don’t know how that would work here.
Amy, I think you hit the nail on the head that perhaps there are too many projects in your cubbies. I’m not sure if you’ve seen the new STEP program revamp we’ve just released (an email will be coming soon, but you can log in at https://my.learndobecome.com with your same username/login). The new Module 1 focuses specifically on how to make your project lists manageable, and I strongly suggest you try that first. Just 7-8 total projects and then everything else is in the ‘As needed’ section of the system…. You’re not alone, and we’re here to help you!!
Hi. I love the idea of your podcast/Learn DO Become radio. I have purchased the step system and recently picked it back up to get the command central up and running. In fact, yesterday I re listened to the first 3 modules. When I purchased it a year a go. I stopped at the buy things /create your space and lost where I was. I had written next steps but, just got back to overwhelm and did not get it done. Now a year later, I am working at it again. I guess I am curious why your sending out “Build a command central” to those who purchased the step system/step command central?
So proud of you, Anne! Sounds like you are making some good progress! We are here to offer continued support to you. 🙂 While we are welcoming new members into the program each day, we’re also wanting to make sure our current members get results! If you have any questions on the program as you go through it, this whole community is here for you!
I am a musician, music teacher (substitute teaching -so brings in little $.)
I joined Mastry today – hesitatingly – but I could have more private students come to my house, except for The PILES and disarray!!!!
This change could pay for itself if I could open my house to students coming over. Currently I travel to my students homes to teach them. What does that tell you? ?!!!!!!!!!
Been a problem for years. Currently I’m working several low paying jobs just to make ends meet. Leaves me very little time to practice my music and to get organized. I hope, hope, hope this program can help me!!!
Margaret, welcome to the STEP Mastery program! We’re so excited for you!! We look forward to seeing your success stories. 🙂 You can do this!
This program WILL help you! Your desire to teach music in your home will happen. We seem to know what we want (order in our homes and in our lives) but not how to do it. The STEP program will show you. Good luck!
So, so happy STEP is working for you! You’re awesome, Michelle!
I purchased the Mastery STEP program 1 1/2 years ago and got my money’s worth after the 1st module! I have slacked in the past months, though I still love listening to the podcasts and hearing your voice April and Eric, and am totally excited about going through the new revamped STEP program! I NEVER KNEW HOW TO GET ORGANIZED until STEP and yet I craved it so badly! And did not think there was hope for a 50 year old, but there was and is. Still have to get back on track, but my system is set up and it’s fabulous! I want to be a part of your 25,000! Thank you April!
I can’t wait to see a photo of your Command Central, Michelle! 🙂 Thank you for your support and energy!!
Hello, just started my 1st time master program, I ‘m feeling over whelm and lost, I have lost total control of my person office space in my home. My stress is killing me my doctor said it’s time to get excising, get my life organize and start eating heather,
So far I got the healthy part down, but the stress and my unorganized office is not.
So my first question is where can I get file boxes that you show they are white.
you might have share that information and if that’s the case I didn’t see the information for that.
Welcome, Pam! We’re thrilled to have you with us!! You can find links to these items here: https://learndobecome.com/step-command-central-resources/. There are also links and resources listed inside your membership under Module 3. We look forward to hearing your success stories!
Thank you for allowing this to be your focus! This has been such a blessing for me! I am so grateful that God has led me to your business!
I love your podcast. Your sharing of your personal journey, your mastery of Gettinf Things Dine principles/STEP, and teaching it to me/all of us??.
You are freeing us all up individually to see our personal vision and to achieve our individual purpose in the world. What you are unleashing is powerful, and it is unlocked by you teaching us STEP.
Go, April!
Molly, I can’t tell you how excited I feel for you to see and achieve your personal vision and purpose. Sometimes I feel inadequate because I’m lacking skills in many areas, but then I think, “But what if I could help other people get organized who DO have those skills? Then it’s like I’m indirectly making a difference, and it’s okay that I’m not awesome at everything.” Our community here gives me so much hope, and I am thrilled to be here with all of you!
I love how you shared your story. You are a fantastic woman and I pray you are teaching your kids to be organized. My mother was an organizer and taught me this skill when I started grammar school. It was the road to success in school and college. As a nurse, I had to be organized at all times and thanks to Mom, I was. I am retired now and a writer who is organized. I love your idea of a command central. I am always looking for new ways to do things. There are so many products out there and it’s hard to keep up. Thanks for sharing what you use. Keep up the great work and I will pray for you and your family that you reach your goals.
We so appreciate your support, Robin! I love that your mom taught you how to be organized. My mom wanted to do that, but she was never able to master it in this life. There are definitely a lot of products and processes. We are happy to be here so we can be as helpful as we can. Very excited about this goal and grateful you are here with us!!!
I just started STEP this weekend. Thank you. 💛💙💜 so many emotions. I see the end of a 40 year losing battle with the paper monster. Your passion and commitment is stunning.
I hope to have my command central, and a clear mind, before the holidays🤷🏼♀️🎉 What a gift that will be!
Welcome, Anne! We’re thrilled to have you with us and look forward to hearing your success stories. We have great faith that you’ll be able to build your Command Central and achieve your goals!
How can I go through your free training again, without registering a second time, and possibly getting duplicate emails from you?
Thank you!
Welcome to the STEP (Steps To Everyday Productivity) Program, Sally! As a member of our program you can view a replay of the free training in the Resources section. Enjoy getting started and please let us know if you have any questions along the way. We’re thrilled to have you with us and we look forward to hearing your success stories!
I would love to not feel the panic of not being able to find something. My piles leave me so frustrated – I know I have seen a billing or some other critical piece of mail but finding it is another story! Then there is my email which grows like the plague itself. No matter how many ‘usnsubscribes’ I do, I still get 100’s of emails a day. If I can get on top of all of this, it will be worth the monthly fees I can’t really afford right now either.
Karen, you’re on your way! It will take time for those unsubscribes to catch up with what’s being sent each day. Be consistent and deliberate as you choose what to keep. 🙂 As for the monthly fees, MANY in our program have found money as they process their clutter in addition to finding ways tos ave money. Here are just a few instances, https://learndobecome.com/earn-money-find-money-save-money-true-stories! We’re so excited for you!
My husband and I signed up for STEP mastery right before the pandemic, and have implemented a lot of the strategies, but do not yet have a fully functioning command central. But I have not given up. I have been working through some psychological baggage which has been derailing me.
I am listening to this now again because o am going to go through the Four Weeks to Finished Program
I cannot wait to finally get a command central that works! I have so much confidence i what April and Eric are up to, and happy to be a part of it
So, so excited you are with us!! It’s going to be a party! 😀❤️😘 You are amazing, and I was so thrilled to see you signed up. I know you will add a lot to the group. xoxo
