Managing Modern Life
In my role as a professional organizer, I have the privilege of working with other professionals from many different fields.

Going to conferences isn’t cheap though, so it’s really important that you don’t treat it as a strictly social occasion.
To help you get the most out of your investment, I’ve invited Certified Meeting Professional Elizabeth Glau to share a few tips.
This week, I’m thrilled to introduce one of my NAPO colleagues, Deb Lee, as my guest blogger.

With an estimated 375 billion photos taken each year, there’s no wonder we’re feeling overwhelmed!

If we don’t figure out an effective way to process, organize, and store these photos, they may as well not exist. Here are a dozen ways to organize your photos so you can enjoy and share them:
