Managing Modern Life
Procrastination is something that most of us struggle with at some time. That’s why I’m especially pleased to welcome Dr. Timothy A. Pychyl, author of The Procrastinator’s Digest: A Concise Guide to Solving the Procrastination Puzzle, as my guest blogger today.
Earlier this year, the New York Times ran an article in their style & fashion section that has me thinking (uh-oh!) The article asked design gurus, “If you lost your entire wardrobe, how would you rebuild it?”
For me, this is such an interesting topic to ponder. It’s the ultimate rebuild-your-wardrobe-fantasy question. Think about saying, ‘buh-bye’ to all of your mistakes; the unworn, the too small, too boring, too comfortable, too expensive-to-get-rid-of, too wrong-fitting, or too whatever would be GONE! As in, only a naked, lonely closet remains.
Who knows more about organizing a kitchen than a professional organizer? A professional organizer who’s married to a chef! My guest today is Kimberly Purcell, who has some great tips for saving money by organizing your kitchen.
Earlier this year, Lain Ehmann gave us some great tips for organizing digital photographs. But what about all those old family snapshots? If you, or one of your clients, has inherited a collection, you may be wondering what to do with them, and even where to begin, so I’ve invited Lain back to share some more of her expertise.
Earlier this year, eco-organizer Julie Seibert blogged about Repurposing Items to Get Organized. In honor of Earth Day, I’ve invited her back this month to let us know how we can keep our homes healthy by choosing the right cleaning products.
Geralin, I’m a single dad with kids. I work. I run the house and when it comes to papers, I don’t know where to start. Geralin, I need your help creating a filing system? Do you have any tips? If I lived near you, I’d hire you but I don’t. Maybe you can help many like me who need/want help by writing a blog post. Please?
This week’s interview is with Janet Barclay, a virtual assistant and owner of Organized Assistant in Canada.
Hopefully, this interview will be one in a series of interviews with virtual assistants that will help other small business owners overcome that “I’m on my own” feeling and make them realize we’ve all dealt with the same difficulties, doubts and challenges along the way. There are various different types of virtual assistants with different areas of expertise. Let’s learn more about Janet and her business.
The next class is Wednesday, June 6th @ 8pm ET/5pm PT
The call in instructions will be emailed after registration and payment.
Congratulations!
You’re new to the field of professional organizing. You’re doing your research, clarifying your needs and goals, and now, you’ve purchased my New Organizer Essentials (NOE) forms. Maybe you’ve even practiced using the forms with friends, family and clients.
But perhaps you’re still not feeling confident or comfortable using the forms. Maybe you have questions about adapting them to your organizing practice’s unique circumstances.
Or is it possible that while you feel you should have questions, you’re not exactly sure what to ask and are anxious that you don’t know what you don’t know?
Relax. I’m here to help you.
I created the NOE [group] teleclass because I understand that even the very best resources need to be coupled with a full understanding of how to use them to your advantage. In a perfect world, you might want to schedule a one-on-one session with me to hear more about using the NOE documents, but I understand that most new professional organizers don’t have the budget for private sessions.
The NOE group teleclass is specifically tailored for you – new professional organizers who want to maximize their use of the New Organizer Essentials forms. During this 1-hour teleclass, I’ll discuss strategies and methods for using the NOE forms and explain some of the most common challenges that new organizers experience. At the end of the teleclass, you will have an opportunity to ask questions and listen to other attendees’ questions (and the answers I supply).
The NOE group teleclass is conducted in a relaxed, comfortable and casual atmosphere. There are no silly questions; in fact, you can be sure that for every question asked, there will be a few other organizers on the teleclass thrilled to hear that someone else has the same concern.
Combining the New Organizer Essentials forms with the NOE group teleclass is a powerful one-two punch to help you confidently optimize your professional organizing business.
Take a deep breath. We’re in this together.
The calling instructions will be emailed once you pay/register.
This week I’ve invited one of my colleagues from NAPO-NC, Jill Hively, to talk about a subject that’s near and dear to all of us – food! As a registered dietician, Jill knows all about organizing the kitchen to facilitate the planning and preparation of nutritious meals and snacks, and she’s going to share a few tips with us.
Today I welcome as my guest blogger Dr. Daniel Sheras from Orenstein Solutions. A clinical psychologist who specializes in treating children, adolescents, and young adults, he shares some valuable information for parents who are concerned that their child may be experiencing depression.
