I once wrote a post called Those Magic Little Words (that help you get organized). The point of it was that there are lots of organizing methods, and different ways of describing them — what I call “magic little words”. And the BEST method, or catchphrase, is the one that works for YOU. Just…
Don’t keep your deepest-held convictions to yourself. Take them to the ballot box! Don’t be complacent, thinking that others will vote enough to obtain the results you desire. And don’t be discouraged, thinking your vote doesn’t matter. It does! If you already have a plan for how and where to vote, you can skip this…
Today I’d like to discuss something of utmost importance; something that impacts all of us on a daily basis: bedding. (Ha ha, but also true.) How I grew up doing it If you are like me, you grew up with your bedding assembled…
What are you always grateful for, if nothing else? My friend Jane and I have been complaining to one another for over 50 years. But we also count our blessings. And sometimes, when things look bleak, and we can’t think of anything current to be grateful for, we have certain reliable backups, like each other…
The storm clouds are clearing. (It’s a reference to my previous post, The rainbow after the storm.) I’ve been able to start spending less time doing what I have to do, and more time doing what I want to do. And what I want to do is to continue my genealogy research, write more stories…
It all started slowly and innocently enough, like the first drops of a rainstorm. I mean, it’s only natural for things in life to break sometimes, and need fixing and maintenance, right?

30 years ago this week, in late January 1994, both juries were declared hopelessly deadlocked in the first Menendez brothers murder trial. Who knew that 30 years later they would still be behind bars? Two Hung Juries I always say that Erik’s jury deliberated for a month — rather than reporting days or hours —…
As a professional organizer it was part of my job to help people find ways to remember stuff: Where are my keys? Where does this go? How do I remember tasks? Why do I forget appointments? Why can I never find the remote? Together, we created solutions and systems ala takeaways #2, 8, 9 in…
If you know me at all, you know I love flow charts, graphics, and cartoons! I also love when people send them to me. I don’t care if they’re graphs, pie charts, or Venn diagrams. Sometimes I’ve seen them before, but you never know — what if I haven’t? Sharing on social media It’s been…
Dear Readers: I hope you enjoy this refreshed post from 2016. I was helping a long-time virtual coaching client with email maintenance, teaching her about Inbox Zero, and I admitted that mine was currently more like Inbox 200. In fact, as I continued to say, I don’t do anything (maintenance-wise) every day. She was…
