How I used Evernote this week to keep track of my talk attendees
Each time I give a talk I hand out these slips to gather information from attendees who want to share it. (Public speakers, you’ll want to copy this!) They help me to build my newsletter list, bring on new clients, answer follow-up questions, and book further speaking engagements.
Let go this fall - nature is on your side
Last week I introduced you to my sister, Tori, who owns The Still Point spas here in Maryland. She brings a unique perspective on the significance (and profound need to) let go during the fall. The creative cycle of the 5 elements, as utilized in all Chinese healing modalities, teaches the natural times to harvest, sit still, let go, and more.
Minimalism Video Tutorial - The Paper Bag Collection
I STILL am haunted by the number of paper shopping bags that creep into my foyer closet!
As I sort them every other month or so, I too struggle with keeping the “pretty” ones. There’s just something about paper bags. Try as you might to recycle them or avoid them all together, the ones that are too pretty to toss eventually take over.
I’m celebrating 15 years as an organizer!
When I decided to become an organizer upon graduating college, it was a gift to have such clarity so young. I was and still am confident that I’m on the right path.

What I’ve been organizing lately - a client’s time
It’s hard enough to organize things we can see, feel, and touch, so how do we organize time? It’s usually a different process for each client that then needs to be tested and tweaked until we land on just the right combo of solutions. In this case, we laid it all out on a board propped up in her office. One of my clients is an interior designer specializing in medical offices.
How I used Evernote this week to save digital memories from my mom
My mom recently picked up texting with bitmojis as fast as any tween or millennial. She also has one of the more accurate semblances of any bitmoji I’ve seen! I get a kick out of each one that she sends, and many come in each week. It pained me to delete the texts, so I started dropping them into Evernote in my “Memorabilia” notebook as a “Mom’s Bitmojis” note.
