Mridu Parikh

Ready to get control of your demands and distractions so you wake up with a plan and feel less overwhelmed? Then you need Mridu Parikh on speed dial.

As the creator of Life Is Organized, Mridu has helped working women increase billable time from one to five hours a day, create a routine to shed 15 pounds, and save 10 hours a week on emails and texts. She’s also been known to decrease overwhelm from a level 10 to a level 5 in just three sessions. Mridu’s strategies on streamlining tasks and mastering habits have been featured in The Huffington Post, US News & World Report, and Real Simple. With half her career in corporate and half in entrepreneurship, she’s an expert in ditching stress – in the boardroom or in the home office.

When she’s not wrangling a list or schedule, you can usually find this former professional organizer with her two teens and one husband in Nashville (albeit inseparable from her 917 NY number) enjoying milk chocolate in one hand and red wine in the other.

Join us for this upcoming class:

"Create The Perfect To-Do List And Plan Your Week Like A Boss."
