Who else besides me jumps out of their skin when the phone rings? It’s pretty much NEVER a good time for me to answer the phone. I’m ALWAYS in the middle of doing SOMETHING, whether it be working, spending time with someone, sleeping, eating, driving, exercising, watching TV, reading, or relaxing.
I love when my clients come up with their own solutions! LeAnn and I had just finished creating her Morning and Evening Routines, as well as her Weekly, Monthly, Quarterly, and Annual Checklists. We also had broken down a few large projects down into smaller, do-able tasks, each with its own Project Sheet.
An acquaintance recently asked me for help in finding an organizer near where her mother lives, in another state. It is a situation that I cannot help with “virtually” (via telephone, email, or Skype), nor is it one where they can afford my travel expenses to go help hands-on. Since my goal is to help…
Consider this Peter Drucker quote: Efficiency is doing things right. Effectiveness is doing the right things. Hmm…but how do you know if you’re doing the right things or not? Many of us do things out of habit, or because other people expect us to. But where is that getting you? Is it getting you where…
Who doesn’t enjoy a good night’s sleep? And how many of us have trouble actually achieving it? (Lots, that’s how many.) I have read articles suggesting we avoid caffeine; stick to a regular bedtime; avoid napping; get a sleep study in case you have sleep apnea; take the TV out of the bedroom; stop screen…
I don’t work a lot with students. But, last year I re-pinned something awesome I found on Pinterest, created by my colleague Geralin Thomas, owner of Metropolitan Organizing. It was a post called Setting Up a College Dorm Room. Ironically…sadly…frustratingly, it has become MY SINGLE MOST OFTEN re-posted pin! (Sigh…of all the other things I’ve…
So, what is it, exactly, that I think you can afford and have the time for? Anything you want! All you have to do is to prioritize it and include it in your budgets. You know — your financial and time budgets. And I mean budget in the sense of allocating resources, which does not…
I was driving to a business networking luncheon, admiring the blue skies, fluffy white clouds, and Sandia mountains with my brand new eyes (post cataract surgery), singing the old Johnny Nash song (“I can see clearly now the rain is gone…”), and it occurred to me that cataracts are just another form of clutter.
It was my friend Jeanne’s birthday, and Facebook reminded me to wish her well. I would have dearly loved to do so, but, well, sadly, Jeanne died over a year ago. This is the sort of thing that can happen – intentionally or unintentionally – with one’s digital (virtual) assets after death. You can purposely…
It’s not cheap being an introvert! Especially if you’re a single introvert who is used to being alone most of the time. I’m referring, in this case, to the extra cost of me-time that comes in the form of a single supplement for a room to oneself on a cruise…or on any occasion involving hotel…
