When I work on an office or home organization, quite often we will create (or tweak) a system. A lot of effort and time is spent in creating a space that will work for the individual.  But, what happens if you happen to share an office or home with someone who doesn’t care OR does [...]

I had some shopping to do today for a client and happened to be in one of my favorite stores – IKEA.  Although is was quiet in the store, there were many renovations going on.  Departments have been moved to different areas, new stock had arrived and the old stock was on sale!  Yesterday, I [...]

Does this look familiar? If this sounds like you, you are not alone!  What happens when we fall into a cycle like the one above is that we get a feeling of being overwhelmed.  What you may even find is that what started out as one space has grown to more spaces or areas.  So [...]

  Every year it’s the same old thing.  In the cold winter months, items just get thrown into the garage so we can rush into a warm home.   The garage ends up becoming a dumping ground for many items.  Sometimes, there are so many items in a garage that your vehicle may not even fit!  [...]

      **Moving some of our blogs over to our new site.  This post was originally posted on March 17, 2011** Today I tweeted my ‘Tip of the Day’:  One Life = One Calendar.  I’ve had a ton of questions already about how to do that.  So, here are my steps on having one [...]

I belong to a book club and we are starting our seventh year of being together.  I can’t believe how fast the time has flown.  I also can’t believe some of the fantastic (and not so fantastic) books we have read.  We recently read a book called The Happiness Project written by Gretchen Rubin.  When [...]

If you are a vehicle owner, there’s not doubt that every once in awhile,  you have to have regular maintenance done on your car.  Whether it’s an oil change, tires rotated, or a flushing of your car’s system (I really have no idea if that’s what it’s called – but it sounds good!).  There’s always [...]
