A Buffet of Organizing and Productivity Inspiration
Greetings! I hope you are doing well despite the fact that somewhere along the way I lost my will to keep you updated on all things COVID.
- ARCHIVED: Survive and Thrive Resource Roundup
Once in a while I’ve checked in with you and let you know how it’s going for me….
- Are you wasting your “free time”?
- Are you feeling adrift too?
- Hindsight is 2020. What’s next?
- 3 Questions (to ask yourself about COVID-times)
I’ve written a few other posts – some new, and some refreshed – but otherwise I’ve been doing genealogy research (for myself and for clients), and working (except, that is, for when I’m not working) on my new book.
Meanwhile…many of my organizing and productivity colleagues are either still at it, or they’ve found renewed energy for solving problems and lifting spirits. Some of them blog on a weekly basis! Some have written books, created products, or developed courses during the pandemic!
So, I’m sharing a roundup of their recent posts that have inspired me, because I’m hoping they will inspire you, too!

Also, this is such a supportive group of colleagues and bloggers. What generous sharers! I always learn something new or come away feeling energized. I am grateful to be connected to all of you. Thank you again for including me.
