Are you overwhelmed by the clutter in your home office?
One of my clients, who is the CEO of a real estate development company, had her home office enlarged. Her first appointment was 10 years ago and she calls me whenever she needs an “organizing fix “. ( I have also worked with her staff in her corporate office.)
On April 26th I received the following email from her:
“Are you available Monday May 24th to organize the office. They have tentatively given me the week of the 17 for the installation and they say they will need the entire week. If that should move up at all and I am trying hard to get it moved up, I’ll let you know.”
Miracle of miracles, it was done by May 24th, (although we worked around the installer and the electrician for a few hours). Because I knew how her office had been set up, I was able to organize the new space in only one day.

Have you had a Iron Mountain pick up lately?
Recently I worked with someone, in a management position, to help him decrease the paper clutter, in his office.
As I looked around, I asked him questions about the different piles that I saw. He said that the reason there were so many piles was that they were long overdue for an Iron Mountain pick up.
However; the storage room that they needed to go in, for preparation to be sent out, was so full that you couldn't get another box in it.
I challenged him to set a deadline for an Iron Mountain pick up.
The good news is that, within a few weeks, he had sent 150 boxes.
Other departments were envious that his files were no longer taking up valuable space in his office, or in the storage room. Consequently, they are preparing their files for an IM pick up.
The long term benefit is that each department now has retention guidelines for how long files should be kept on site and when they should be sent to IM.

Being a Mom is the Greatest Job in the World
Being a Mom is the Greatest Job in the World
Where else can you get a bonus paid in hugs and kisses? Of course, the salary isn't the greatest, but you're always assured of steady work.
Being a mom calls for the most diverse qualifications. Teacher (for homework); chauffeur ( for carpool); maid (for picking up messes); minister (to give those much-needed sermons); doctor ( for skinned knees); therapist (to dispense unsolicited advice); parole officer (for being grounded).
What other job description can offer so many challenging opportunities? And the greatest perk of all is job security - you don't have to worry about downsizing layoffs! A good mom is hard to find
Connie Meyer (from I Love You Mom)
This poem is for all the moms, whose full time job is being mom, and all the women who have two jobs; one in their home and one working in a business.
This poem was taken from a book that my oldest daughter gave me years ago.

Do you know what's in your file draws?
This week I worked with the president of a company who called me because his desktop had an avalanche of paper piles.
Before we could start to go through the piles, to turn them into files, we needed to determine whether or not there was space in his file drawers for them.
As we opened each drawers, I saw: Dog treats
A sweatshirt
An assortment of cords and battery chargers.
Poduct manual
Snack food.
Just to name a few.
Do you know what is in your file drawers?
Together , we re-organized the files and created a color-coded system so that he could find things more easily. Note I said "we created". He needed to decide what he wanted he wanted the major and sub categories to be.
He was amazed at what we accomplish in only a few hours. He can't wait for me to come back next week to continue reorganizing his office.
