| Clients Say ... | | |
A lovely email from a home based business owner:
Above all, I feel different. The house is still in progress but I am not feeling overwhelmed over it.
For the first time in my life I feel like I can handle it. And that it will all eventually have a place.
I can't explain the joy I feel because I don't feel like a failure.

Life balance ...
We start off the year, as we do with many new habits, with great intentions.
And then life creeps in.
Some of our intentions become only intentions, and not much more. And so back we are in our cycle. One more time.
February's blog focus is on life balance,a goal many of us set in January. Here is the first practical step towards balance, which most people need to take ... clear the visual clutter.
Step One: Clear the visual clutter and you clear the way for new things to arrive. Organize your space around what you want, and watch the new adventures show up at your doorstep. Time and time again, this comes true.
Visual clutter:
- Prevents us from seeing beyond "what is" in our lives to what "could be" - a home we can feel proud of and a business which can grow because we know we (and our systems) can handle it;
- Distracts us from what we want to focus on. Our eyes land on each item which reminds us "Oh, I still haven't done that!"
- Makes us think "I don't deserve to..." paint, be a fabulous grandmother, discover a new hobby.
- Prevents us from moving onto our next chapter in life.
If you need to organize your thoughts or get unstuck, I offer a 1/2 hour no charge consultation. You'll get value from just the one call, promise. My hope is you'll continue but sometimes, it's just one call, an outside perspective, that does it for you.
Here's to your organized life,

Suspend Reality for Just a Minute, Would You?
Slow down. Breath. Pause.
Open up to your dreams, just a little bit today.
You may have a fresh start waiting for you.
What would life be like....?
If you didn't have all that 'stuff' without homes, piled up on your kitchen counter or table?
- So that when you wanted to create a family dinner, you didn't need to clear off the table each night? You could just make the meal and sit down.
If you didn't race around, embarrassed when you constantly show up late for business appointments, or to friends or events? You're the person nobody ever expects to be on time.
- Is that the person and the small business professional you wanted to be? How would it be if you were always on time; how would that make you feel?
What would it be like if you had an organized office for your business, where you knew projects were under control? - You could find what you needed when that favorite client asked a question. Where you didn't feel like you were wasting time looking for files or PC documents. Instead, you were living the dream you created for your business?
If your ADHD - or your partner's - were less of a third wheel in your household? If it wasn't always about the ADHD at work? - How would it be if the two of you figured out better ways of communicating, organizing your days and your home, so that you both felt stronger and better about this diagnosis? So that the ADHD was there, but just not such a major player in your home or with your chosen career.

Organize for a Fresh Start:
Embrace Your Next Chapter in Life
| | |
Reader's Review:
This book is not just about organization, but it's about getting a fresh start, beginning a new chapter, for example if you're expecting a baby, or if you're getting, or recently got divorced.
I really appreciated this because I was divorced a couple years ago and I was starting over. This book is not only about removing physical clutter from your life, but emotional clutter as well.
There are motivational exercises to help you organize, like filling in blanks, creating goals, visualization. There is no one fix for everyone regarding organization. It's about finding out what works for you.
I do like the organization tips in the book. The author goes from room to room giving practical advice. She's a professional organizer herself and knows her stuff.
More reader reviews. Read a chapter. Peruse table of contents. Printed version: Available locally at The Black Forest and major bookstores. Also available at Amazon (print/Kindle), Barnes & Noble (print/Nook), my blog site, and others. |
