TIME MANAGEMENT SKILLS: NEVER TOO EARLY OR TOO LATE
I had the good fortune of meeting Estienne De Beer; The Meerkat Motivator. He interviewed 18 Accomplished Professionals on how to manage their time. You’ll find me listed as Number 3: Working From Home: It’s Okay to say “No.” I think you’ll find the article to be just what you need right now. Enjoy!
I sincerely hope this post finds you and your loved ones well.
Everyone is struggling right now; worried about the future and trying to find emotional stability in this global pandemic.
We all have to do our part and so this is my way of trying to support you the best way I can.
I am hosting, Ask The Organizer, a FREE Call, where you can call in and ask me anything you’d like about de-cluttering, organizing, clean living and self-care. The line will stay open as long as it needs to.
I suggest you make a list of all the pressing things on your mind and I’ll do my very best to help you out, shed some light on “things” and get you ready to springboard into action!
Here’s the info:
When: Thursday, March 19, 2020 (First Day of Spring)

I look forward to our call. Until then, be safe, wash your hands often and stay mindful.
PS: I’ve been de-cluttering my home and getting “things” in order. I am noticing how it is having a positive impact on my emotions. I’ll share this with you on the call. xo
On a scale of 1 to 10, how content are you with the feeling of being organized in your life right now?
Let’s assume 10 would be if you had everything just the way you wanted it – everything had a place and everything was in its place. You could locate whatever you needed without wasting time, you could have people over at the drop of a hat without stressing and you felt joy in knowing your place brought you peace of mind.
With being organized at that high water mark, where would you say you are at today?
Is it a 7? Or an 8? Higher? Lower?
And considering where your organized life is, do you have a concrete plan for moving up on the scale?
The first step to getting to a level 10 from wherever it is now, is to truly believe it is possible. That’s the first step to overcoming resistance.
To that end, I believe that if you are at a level 1 you can make the best of every situation you are in …
But you must be willing to seize opportunity when it knocks on your door.
The reason I’m telling you all of this is because I like to begin my week doing something that will motivate me for the week ahead. So here’s what I have in store for this week:
Today I am giving away my private notes to “Shattering Resistance to an Organized Life.” All you have to do is click on the link below to schedule a FREE call with me and I’ll personally review my notes with you.
Here’s you chance to move up the scale! Opportunity is here – open the door!
If I didn’t have the skills to organize and keep my home in order when everything around me was a mess and falling apart, I’m not sure exactly how things would have turned out for me.
And I don’t say that lightly.
You see, many years ago, “things” were not going so well in my life. Everything, and I mean everything, was out of control. It felt as if I was on one big merry-go-round and I couldn’t stop it from going around and around.
But I knew one thing for sure – I wanted off the merry-go-round!
So I started thinking about what skills I possessed that could help make a difference in people’s lives. My mind kept asking the question; Who am I and what am I good at?
For the longest time, I had no idea the answer was right under my nose. It’s comical now when I think about it. How something so obvious is right in front of us and we never know it – until we do!
I remember feeling excited, when I figured out that my ability to “organize” and see things “orderly” was a gift that I could put to good use. But more than that, I felt empowered. Like, I got real hope that my life was about to change for the better.
I’m sharing this with you because I understand what it feels like to be stuck, uncertain, sad and all those other feelings that are wrapped around them. But I also know that my organizing skills literally saved me when everything else around me felt out of control and chaotic.
That’s why I help people, just like you, learn how to get organized. It’s also why I created Mindful Tools For Organized Living. It’s a convenient study program that you can do in the privacy of your home or office. And for a limited time, you can get the program for just $297.00 $197.00 PLUS three (3) complimentary coaching sessions.
Learning how to organize is an important step. A vital step that will help you manage through transitional times and give you peace of mind and hope for the future.
Why do you think people feel soooo much better when they’re organized? It’s really that simple.
If you’re struggling, remember this…
It’s only temporary. And in the meantime, you can find stability in de-cluttering and organizing your life. I did, and I know you can too!
Recently someone who was struggling with getting organized wrote to me asking for help.
Here is some of what she wrote: ✍️
“Why can’t I get organized?
I want nothing more than to be free from this clutter, but I can’t seem to do it.
I start, I stop. Sometimes, the thought of it, even though it’s what I want, seems so overwhelming.
If it’s something I want so much, then why can’t I do it? What’s stopping me?
Please help me understand this. What am I not getting?” 🤔
Here’s part of my response to her:
“There can be many reasons why you may be experiencing overwhelm, especially when it’s a goal that is very important to you. Without knowing your situation entirely, I will try to give you a better understanding of what may be the reason behind your lack of follow through with getting organized.
There is a theory, one that I subscribe to, that beneath one’s clutter is the inability to forgive one’s self. You see, buried underneath the clutter is a lot of life history, with raw emotion. When we try to “deal” with the clutter, we are then reminded of our pain that was never healed. This can be conscious or unconscious.
The truth is, we all make mistakes in life and have regret. Unfortunately, people with clutter have difficulty with letting go of their past. They cling to their past with shame and guilt which only keeps them imprisoned. They don’t realize that there is greatness in their brokenness.”
Friends, forgiveness helps us make peace with what is and discover self-acceptance and grace. Forgiveness allows us to move forward.
I understand that coming to terms with brokenness and choosing to forgive yourself can seem like an impossible task. But if you are struggling with your past, feeling overwhelmed and accumulating clutter, there are resources that can help you. 🔥🔥🔥

I just woke up one day and decided I didn’t want to feel like that anymore, or ever again.
So I changed.
This is what it’s like for people who just can’t take the madness and chaos of clutter. Be it physical or mental – clutter is clutter.The heaviness of clutter is painful. Dragging around all that “stuff” day after day and the crazy mental chatter that swirls around – it’s exhausting.
It takes courage to change, but it’s possible.
And I make it a hell of a lot easier with my Mindful Tools For Organized Living program.

Want a secret weapon for relieving stress? Get organized.
It’s pretty much common knowledge that clutter can drain your energy. A cluttered home – a cluttered mind. But clutter also drains your finances and schedule, which we refer to as the hidden cost of clutter. Not only does it affect your energy and pocketbook, it ultimately creates a chaotic life.
Putting in the effort to get organized by establishing healthy habits, (especially if the disorganization and clutter extends to multiple areas of your life) can help reduce stress tremendously. Just think how stressful it is when you’re scrambling at the last-minute looking for your things or you show up late for a meeting because you lost track of time.
Being organized on the other hand, can leave you feeling empowered. Facing the day prepared can actually minimize the strength and duration of your stress. The key is to reduce your triggers in the first place.
Getting organized doesn’t have to be overwhelming. There are a few habits you can learn right away, such as:
• Everything in its place and a place for everything. (And that place should make sense.)
• Keep like with like.
• Dedicate 20 minutes to a task each day.
To reduce your stress, consider how organized you need to be. While you may not need your books alphabetized or have every minute scheduled in your calendar, adopting a few good habits could go a long way.
In case you haven’t heard, I’m teaching a class on the 7 Habits Of Organized People. If you want to minimize your stress and learn some pretty cool strategies, put this class on your calendar! Although I won’t be addressing how to color coordinate your clothes or line up your shoes and handbags, I can promise that you will walk away with a closet full of valuable information.

This workshop is so special for me because I love teaching people about the benefits of being organized. There are many reasons for this, but foremost, it’s because I know when people are organized they FEEL BETTER!
Throughout my 20+ years of being a Clutter Coach, I can truthfully tell you that I have witnessed many situations that hurt my heart deeply. It pains me when I see people hurting.
I made a promise to myself that I would always do my very best to help people live clutter-free. I’ve seen the devastating toll it takes on people’s well-being. The stress alone from physical and mental clutter can be tragic.
In my upcoming class 7 Habits Of Organized People I will be sharing some fascinating new material that you can implement into your own life right away. Not only will you be better organized, but you’ll gain peace of mind and a sense of relief.
I hope you’ll join me for this very special workshop. I’m going to do my best to make it brilliant!

I recently attended a Master Class on dealing with rejection.
I had no idea what to expect but I was open to learning and was excited to take the class.
When I tell you that the experience I had was nothing short of profound, I truly mean it.
When I left the class, I walked away feeling “full.” Full of knowledge, yes, but also an enormous amount of validation that I am “ENOUGH.”
The most beautiful words to my ears were:
“You are enough as you are, mess and all, beautiful and broken, showing up for your life every day.
That’s all you have to be and all you have to do. You’re already enough.”
Melisa Wilkins
My Dear Friends, let me tell you, you are more than enough!
If you’re feeling broken and messy, that’s okay. The truth is, we’re all broken and messy in some way. But that doesn’t mean we’re not enough.
Buying “things” and surrounding yourself with excess “stuff” will not give you the self-worth you are seeking. All it does is mask the pain and leave you with self-rejection and clutter.
In my upcoming class, 7 Habits Of Organized People, I’m going to show you one particular habit that will address feelings of lack and give you a better understanding of how to work through it.
If you want to dive deep with me, this is the class for you!

I have some inside scoop for you!
Would you like to know why some people have little or no clutter at all and are more organized?
There’s something they do that sets them apart from people who struggle with clutter and disorganization.
I can sum it up like this:
They are deliberate about what they own, buy and choose to keep.
They know what brings them joy and happiness based on utility and purpose.
So what about you? Can you say the same or are you struggling?
If you have it under control, good for you! But if you’re struggling, ask yourself:
Why am I buying this and why do I own it?Do I still need to keep this or would some one else use it?
In my upcoming class, 7 Habits of Organized People, I’ll help you get crystal clear on how to reduce your clutter and get super organized.
