Days fly by for me, in a frenzy of activities....from direct marketing for our clients, my social media network, my real network of friends, my new books (I'm writing), my columns and all the mundane things I do, like paying bills, returning calls, and handling the challenges of board membership.

In the course of doing all of these activities, I let others slip by. One of those things that I'm always fighting with myself about is Organization. When I was a kid, my mom said I had a disorganized mind and that was why I was so creative. Now, there's no excuse.

So, I started calling Kate Sandberg, who had worked for us in New York. I invited her to come and visit with me in Florida, and help me to organize my desk, my closet and this visit...my new book. I had clippings everywhere and articles I'd written and in one weekend she managed to get me all straightened out.

I call her my Organizing Angel. My closet is immaculate, my book is in order, and she helped me to purge over 10,000 emails that were sitting in my home computer.

Now I'm free of clutter.  In a few months, I'll invite her back again for a refresher. Each time she flies in, it gets easier, and there's less clutter and more seconds for me during the day. And, we go out for dinner and celebrate....and always laugh through the process.

You can email her at: k8sandberg@yahoo.com

I really need to declutter...  I start but never seem to have time to get the full job done... so sometimes the home is fine and other times the office but not both....  I know I'm less stressed when things are in order...  Thanks for the post sharing

I'm off to declutter now it does seem better when things are organized.  It's nice of you to have some help.  Good luck until next time.

Very true, Lois!  I have found over the years that clutter on your desk is clutter in your mind.  It's hard to stay on task when you're surrounded by a mess.

wow!      A worthy being, indeed, to "clear the decks" for the new to enter.    Thanks for the pep talk -- tomorrow is my day to encounter my clutter.

I usually have to take 1 day a week to clear out the clutter and get re-organized...I just can't function if it's messy!

There is one good thing about clutter. It means you are busy.

You are right and my place right now is disorganized to the max.  Good incentive to get it together before the holiday madness makes it even worse.

I have to admit I am mostly desorganized. I never have time to place everything in its right place and most continue doing something else.

Probably I will need to hire someone as efficient as your friend.
