Why Waste 30 Minutes ……

Posted on by | 4 Comments

1. Watching TV

2. Watching TV

3. Watching TV – Do you see a theme? Watching TV is a good way just to unwind & not have to think.  BUT, it can soak up A LOT of our idle time!

4. Playing video games –  Yes, adults play video games, games on Facebook, games on our phones, etc. Video games can become addicting.  No Really!!

30 Minutes to be spent more wisely!

5. Checking Email – We can get sucked into endless email and before we know it, HOURS have passed.

6. Social Networking – No explanation required!

7. Sitting in Traffic – Yes, commuting is necessary, but have you thought about turning off the radio?  How about listening to a good book (the Bible), a training /self-improvement CD?  How about talking to our passenger or simply letting our brain REST?

8. Getting caught up in a conversation at the most un-opportune time, that goes on and on and on and on!

30 Minutes to be spent more wisely!  

Any rebuttals?  “These items are not a waste of time, but very necessary”…

Your comments are welcome!

What does this have to do with Personal Organizing?

2nd “Order Out of Chaos” Workshop, Another Success!

Posted on by | 2 Comments

Hello Everyone,

Welcome to another Blessed week!  Just wanted to let you all know that my second workshop for Seniors was even more fun than the first. There seemed to be even more participation and sharing…

A Special Thanks to Brenda, Activities Coordinator at The Lodge, she said, “Your common sense approach to handling disorder was well received by our residents. We look forward to your working with us and perhaps coming back to the Lodge in the new year.”

Below is a 50 sec. video, please watch and I hope you enjoy!

For more pictures, please go to my “Order Your Steps” Facebook page.

I wanted to acknowledge another milestone, we exceeded the 5000 Hits mark on last week.  I want to thank all my followers, readers and Facebook fans!  Stay Tuned for my next organizing post for the couple trying to manage two (2) households.

Congratulations on 3 Whole Months!!

Posted on by | 16 Comments

While I was running my “Name the Phase” contest, My blog and I celebrated Our 3rd Anniversary!!!  A LOT has happened over the past three (3) months.  It really doesn’t seem like it has been 3 months.

So let’s go back a little further and recap what has happened….

  • I wrote down my dream for Order Your Steps in August, 2010.
  • I made it official when I registered the name of my new business / ministry in Sept., 2011
  • I applied for early retirement from Xerox in Nov., 2011 (based on a buy-out that was offered that I became eligible for on Sept. 20th of the same year!)
  • I officially retired on December 30, 2011, after 32 years with Xerox.
  • I wrote my first blog post on January 10, 2012

Believe it or not, I was not a social networker (is that the correct term?), I didn’t even have a Facebook account until last year.  But I now have a Facebook page (with the help of my daughter).  Please stop by and take a look and I hope you “LIKE” it.  I have Facebook fans from all over the US.   I have a new website  and a blog, which is my favorite.  I had always said that at some point I would write a book about my life (kinda jokingly) and I am sure that this is the closest that I will get at the moment.  But I was reminded after I read another blog, that my life is now open for the entire world to see.  People from many different countries have read about me.  Places like UK, New Zealand, Australia, etc.  I have exceeded 1700 hits, which is a LOT for me.  My daughters have a blog,  The Junoesque and they have about 6 times as many hits for the same timeframe, but I don’t care…LOL!!  After the first few weeks, I must admit that I wasn’t sure if I had an audience, but for true, it really didn’t matter.  This was for me and I am truly, truly enjoying writing my posts.  I have almost 90 blog followers and I have over 100 Likes…. AWESOME!

I started my blog by sharing just a few tidbits of my Order & Chaos in Corporate America.  Now, three (3) months later, the favorite post was “Life Lesson”.  Xerox has been such a HUGE part of my life.  Then I transitioned into Life after Xerox and “Order Your Steps”, the order out of chaos, into the world of organization.  Your favorite “Organizing” post was “Thought from a Cluttered Mind”.  For some, I am still trying to get everyone (men & women) to grasp the concept that disorder, clutter, being unorganized, etc…. does create stress, added fatigue and frustration to our lives every day.  But I am going to keep working at it!

By any chance, do you know this person? ….. Where did all this junk come from? 

I need a change quick!  Will organizing my closet really change my life? 

I am so stressed!

I am Living My Dream, doing something that comes natural to me … organizing is my gift and my passion.  I have an opportunity each and every day to help people to actually change their lives.

This has been quite a journey so far and it has only just begun!
