I’ve been an organizing and time management consultant
for nearly 20 years, helping individuals and companies to improve their spaces,
systems, schedules, working relationships and lives so that they can achieve
their goals.
No matter where I go in the world, or who I’m working with,
everyone feels overwhelmed:we live in a
too much to do, not enough time, blackberry saddled, can’t turn off, can’t
quite squeeze it all in world.That
applies equally to the philanthropist in New York trying to change the world,
to the Midwest professor balancing work and kids, to the author (Fannie Flagg)
preparing for a move, to the entrepreneur in Stockholm trying to take control
over her business.
One of the problems I run into all the time is that while
people have a deep desire to make their lives better – they just don’t always
know exactly what they need. When you feel overwhelmed, you want quick relief,
and reach out for solutions-- but it\'s often the WRONG thing....
Excellent post! I'm so used to the term "Fling Boogey" from FlyLady that I have it in my head I need to get rid of everything to actually be organized. I love your different approach. There are times we need to get rid of something, but there are also times we just need to "give ourselves access to it". Thanks!
