THE ORDERLY LIFE

The phrase “I don’t know how she does it” never rings truer than when meeting Angie Rose Randall. This mom of two leads a successful marketing business, Social Chow, has a sizeable online following, is an advocate and fundraiser for those who, like her, are living with multiple sclerosis, and runs her household with precision. She makes it look easy, and has recently debuted a new business to help other busy people get it all together to make the most out of life, just like her. “I shared the idea in a women’s entrepreneurship group and 10 weeks later, I launched The Orderly Life,” Angie says.

Designed to take tasks including home maintenance, meal planning, photo and keepsake organization, and financial preparation from items on a never-ending to-do list to resolved. “I’ve developed organizational systems that save me time, energy, and stress. Now I’m sharing them with others who are in the same boat,” the entrepreneur says.

These systems create time-saving strategies to solve for everyday organizational challenges. A home maintenance binder makes it easy to stay on top of weekly, monthly, and annual services. Angie carefully curated an Emergency Binder that contains critical information and documents, so you’re prepared in both life and death. There’s one for organizing children’s lives, and financial planning and organizing in partnership with Morgan Stanley. She explains, “It’s about relieving stress and feeling in control of your lifestyle. Moms especially need that because it helps you improve the overall flow of your home.” The binders make a memorable gift, both useful and helpful. Each is customizable. Everyone can take the best practices they learn and adapt them as needed.

The first Organize Your Life in-person workshops have been sell-outs, filled with women who found easy camaraderie in their shared commitment to streamlining their days and achieving more each day. Angie tells us, “All the women were strangers at the beginning of the day but found so much in common. We all stepped away feeling the power of conversation and connectedness,” adding, “There’s power in being in the room together.”

The multi-hour workshop follows a structured agenda with flexibility to spend more or less time on a topic depending on the needs of the group. From storing digital photos and creating photo books to the importance of wrapping up each month with a financial report, there’s a lot of actionable information along with new connections.

Angie says, “It’s not necessarily ‘the’ way but it’s ‘a way’”.

It might feel daunting to take an entire day away from one’s life, but the rewards are obvious for those who do. Guests leave feeling optimistic and better equipped to stay organized and get it all done, eliminating the stress of unfinished business, and replacing it with the peace that comes from knowing everything is in its place and all the appointments are made. Long-term, attendees appreciate the financial planning tools.

The business is already a hit on social media, with @theorderlylife Instagram growing rapidly. Angie is planning for a private Facebook group where participants can connect, and she is hoping to put some follow-up girl’s nights on the calendar.

With her home and business lives well-organized, Angie will take time at the club pool this summer with your husband, daughter, and son. She’ll also travel to Italy to celebrate her mother’s birthday.

Chicago Highlands Club is the place to be for the next Organize Your Life workshop. Join Angie on June 29 to turn chaos into calm.
