On one hand, I run an organization and time management coaching company, OrganizeNOW. And, on the other hand, I have a doctorate degree and did research in infectious diseases for years. This lead to my quest on finding healthier alternatives, and discovering Norwex.
I realized long ago that the easiest thing to control is our own environment, namely, our home. We can also control what food we put in our bodies (but that’s a topic for another day…go watch the movie Food, Inc.).
In helping people manage their time, one of the biggest complaints is the regular things that . . . → Read More: 10 Steps to Creating a Healthy Home

One of the foundational teachings that I constantly am telling others is that they must plan their day, they must own a planner, and they must carry it with them at all times. Then, when someone makes an appointment with them, they have it with them (at all times) to be able to make note of the appointment immediately!
So, great in theory, but I have always had one tiny problem – I don’t like all of the planners out there! I’ve often debated about just designing and making my own planner to suit my needs (and that still . . . → Read More: Build Your Own Planner

What an amazing adventure the 31 Goals in 31 Days Challenge has been! I have been able to accomplish many things, and while some others are still “works in progress”, overall it was a great experience both personally and in my businesses.
I thought I would recap each of the 31 days so this will be a bit of a long post, and I’ll also let you know how I’m doing now toward these goals and what the outcome was. So, here we go…

WOW! I can hardly believe it has been 31 days since I started the 31 Goals in 31 Days Challenge. What a wonderful experience!! I would encourage everyone to go through a challenge like this for yourself! It is amazing what you learn along the way. I’ll be posting a recap of the 31 days tomorrow, but on to today’s final goal…
Throughout this challenge I have been in awe at how many times along the way my priorities and activities have been confirmed. While I have gotten many new goals accomplished in the past 31 days, both personally . . . → Read More: 31 Goals in 31 Days – Day 31 – Come Home

Catchy title, huh? Makes you kind of wonder what today’s goal is about exactly. Well, it’s about boundaries. It’s about stopping work when it is time to. The best part of being my own boss is that I get to work when I want, and the worst part of being my own boss is that I get to work when I want!
Often, the line between personal and business blurs, so that you find yourself working “all the time”. Really, that’s not the case, but you may be thinking about your business while doing something with your family, or . . . → Read More: 31 Goals in 31 Days – Day 25 – Stop Working!

Ahhh…all of the hard work has finally caught up to me. After working on weekend projects, organizing, decluttering, reading books, calling prospects, working my businesses, recording videos, editing web pages, making gifts, and just accomplishing a LOT of stuff in the past 20 days, I am tired. Happy and productive, but tired (really, this is my own fault, as I have not been sticking to my bedtime).
So, today’s goal is simple. Relax and recharge. I’m going to do something relaxing every week. Whether that is taking a luxurious bubble bath while listening to Beethoven, or taking a nap, . . . → Read More: 31 Goals in 31 Days – Day 21 – Relax and Recharge

Recently, my brother wrote a post about creating a Modular Day for his 100 Goals in 100 Days Challenge. This got me thinking. Long ago, and before children, I actually did follow what he was suggesting by creating a Modular Day (although I didn’t call it that).
Today, as my goal, I’m going to revisit this concept, because having a list of things to do in certain times during your day, a routine of sorts, makes it easier to accomplish what you need to do and also speeds up the process since you already know what comes next, without . . . → Read More: 31 Goals in 31 Days – Day 14 – Modular Day

Having your priorities in order is a topic that has been on my heart lately. I have heard over and over again that a common complaint is that people don’t have time to do what they need to do.
Well, in my opinion, that’s not exactly true…
I believe that we DO have enough time to do what we need to do (this may not be the same as what we want to do). It’s just how you go about looking at your situation.
First, realize there is a BIG difference between those things that you need to do . . . → Read More: Are Your Priorities in Order?
