To-Do Lists
Oh, those dreaded lists! Just sitting there, reminding us of all of the things we haven't done yet and still need to make time for. Calling our names, "Come work on me, and make me smaller!" it screams. And it just goes on FOREVER!!!
Aaaagh! It is enough to send us immediately into overwhelm! How do you know what to do first? 
Well, how about if we first changed our perspective a bit and decided it was just a tool? Nothing more and nothing less. A tool to help us do our jobs efficiently.
If we take our stories and emotions and self blaming out of the picture, all we are left with is a list, plain and simple, whether electronic or paper.
One way that I created to help me track all of the different areas I need to manage, is to make a Big Picture List.
Make a "table" in Word (or Excel). Each one of the "cells" has a heading relating to one of the areas and then has the items that need to be handled for that topic.
The paper is orientated "landscape" so I can get more on the page, and I have 10 topics on each page. They are also each color coded, so each topic is further separated from the others. I am usually managing 15-20 items at a time.
Then I also print it, so I can write any updates on it and I highlight the MOST IMPORTANT items, or those with CLOSE DEADLINES.
I update it and print it out weekly. That way I can really CHOOSE how to spend my time each day or week that makes the most impact on my business, instead of REACTING. Plus, it lets everyone else know my priorities.
Breaking it out into smaller pieces can really help with that feeling of overwhelm and let you see the forest AND the trees--give it a try!!

Ed Phillips' Arizona Almanac Radio Show and Weather and Coffee Cafe  and Drive Thru
I have had the privilege of working with Ed and being featured on his weekly Arizona Almanac Radio Show for about a year now, and can tell you that Ed is one heck of a guy! Many of you may recognize him as the "weather guy" from Channel 15 for quite a few years.
The whole show features many people from around the Valley, such as Doug Nintzel from ADOT, Dave Owens (the Garden Guy--no relation), Tony LeConte talking about star gazing, and much more. I am proud to be in this group!
We have great fun recording 3-5 minute spots in the back of the great little coffee shop and cafe. It is located on the south side Bell Road and it overlooks the SR 51--a wonderful spot for networking! It is run by he and his great wife and partner, Anne.
Ed has continually done everything he could to support me in my business. Thanks so much, Ed! He and my fabulous web guy, Jeff Hatch, have now set it up to where my spots can not only be accessed through his weekly distribution, but now also on my website. Just go to www.thespaceyourein.com and click on the "Media" link.
His new Arizona Almanac for summer/fall has just been published as well. You can sign up for his show and get more information about the almanac at www.azalmanac.com, or perhaps see him in the shop. Please let him know that I sent you!

The Space You're In Seminars and Special Offer!!
WOW!! I can't begin to tell you how excited I am about these seminars!
I am designing them to apply to all business people, whether you are working for someone else, or you ARE the someone else. All business people can come away from these seminars with a new sense of empowerment in dealing with their time, stress, life balance and organizing challenges.
(Read all the way through this article for a special offer.)
It is actually one seminar, but given on two different days and locations, so it will be convenient for more people to come. It will include many interactive sections, and you won't just be listening to me all day. You can actually start to incorporate the learning on the spot! (Click here to register.)
Lunch will be included, so there will also be a chance to network, which is an aspect that was requested at previous seminars.
If it was one of your resolutions to "get organized" this year, and you still aren't any better off, then come and spend the day with us!
It is truly a worthwhile investment of your time and money, and if you register by August 10th, I will put you in the drawing for one lucky winner to get 3 hours of my time, on me, plus free entry to my Outlook Tips and Tricks seminar!
I am only offering this package to my newsletter list, so register now!! Be sure to put "newsletter" in the comments box when registering, so I know it came from this OrganizEzine!
There is any early bird discount for everyone that registers before August 24, and there is also a discount if you register 5 or more people at the same time.
But to get in the drawing, you must register by the August 10th.
Don't wait!
Don't "think about it"!
As Nike says, JUST DO IT! Click here and register NOW to get yourself on the road to less stress, more breathing room and a better organized life!
