FRESH VIEWS MINI E-ZINE
Adopt the mindset of a master gardener: prune mercilessly and confidently.
When I heard a local professional organizer talk at our library, I knew it was time to hire her. I’ve written about the benefits of purging things and getting organized before. I’m not really a slob, but I have lived a long time, have many interests, books and supplies, and have accumulated a lot of stuff! I’ve always been a “visual organizer,” with many piles and a sense of where things are (¾ of the way down the middle pile.) But my system didn’t always work, resulting in wasted time looking for a lost paper or bill and my feeling out of sorts. Sandra Lane, owner of Organization Lane, lives two blocks from me! And, working right beside me, she has helped me reclaim my space, and by extension, my life. Here are some of the things that have helped with this transformation: I can’t tell you how helpful it has been to do this work WITH someone else. Left to myself, I either get distracted and sit and read what I’ve found, or I get overwhelmed and quit. I’m not finished yet, but my office is so much improved that I had it painted this week. And it is glorious! It supports my thinking and my work. Most importantly, the structures to keep things orderly are working…I’m hopeful the improvements are permanent!

Please forward it to friends and colleagues. My purpose in writing FRESH VIEWS is to nurture, prod and encourage readers to think and talk about these topics with their families, friends and colleagues. Mine is only one view. Multiple conversations may deliver us to insights only hinted at here.
