Hi, Gavriel!
My whole life, of course!!!! What a mess it is! Piles of papers in two rooms upstairs, books everywhere, more projects looming than 60 people could accomplish. No time for yoga, or pool, downtime. Running on empty for a good while. Etc, etc, etc. A formidable task. I think the only solution is for me to figure out how to clone myself. But, no time to concentrate on it….

Debbie… I understand! Keep reading my emails because I’ve helped a lot of people that have expressed a similar situation to you, and believe it or not, there are effective solutions!
And here’s another topic request I’ve received in the past day:
“I have trouble to clarify my future about my work… I would like to change the job. I am tired to be consultant. I would like to find a job who will give me some passion.”
And this next one from Jean really got me thinking…….
“I would really enjoy a brief video on organizing the kitchen. I have seen multiple “How to organize your kitchen”, TV programs and read several books.”
And despite all that, Jean still isn’t satisfied with her kitchen, and continues describing her problem:
“My biggest problem is that half my storage is upper cabinets and I can only comfortably reach the first shelf. Which means I only have about 50% of the storage I need in my kitchen.
I feel I should get my kitchen organized before I try to decided what type storage space I could add to my kitchen (on a tight budget).
…Also I seem to have a hard time deciding what I should keep in the kitchen and what I should store elsewhere.
Regarding the article I loved it! I felt so dumb because I can not seem to focus on exactly how to organize my kitchen. The room I love most in my house.”
Jean, please don’t feel ‘dumb’ about it, because IT’S NOT YOUR FAULT!
Here’s why:
99.9% of all those books and TV programs about getting organized are DEAD WRONG.
THAT is really the Top Problem with Getting Organized…
In fact, many of my customers have been people that described a similar situation. Here’s what another customer said that is inside my ebook Life Management for the New Professional:
“I’ve read many, many organization books, and am still having a problem seeing my way clear. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated…” – Jane
The thing is:
Getting specific areas of your life organized can be easy and fun… if you use the right strategy.
Here’s what DOES NOT work:
Canned techniques!
Time and time again I have had to ‘de-brief’ people on what not to do when they are trying to get something organized.
They attempt to use techniques from books or TV which aren’t appropriate for them – and begin to wonder if there’s something wrong with themselves, instead of questioning the unsuitable techniques.
