Get Organized! An Interview with Debbie Rosemont
Last week I took a seminar from professional organizer Debbie Rosemont of Simply Placed. My goal was to learn some tips for my clients who struggle with organization, and I really never expected it to impact me so much personally.
Regular readers know that I am all about systems, but I have to confess that I am much less organized in my paper life than I am in my electronic life. In a moment’s notice I can bring up a specific detail about a project with a single customer on my laptop, but if you give me a piece of paper - a grocery list, a receipt, or a piece of mail - I become paralyzed with indecision about what do with it.
Debbie addressed those mental processes that block us from truly being organized, and she also spoke about the myth of multitasking. Since taking the class, I have implementing just a few strategies to start (at Debbie’s suggestion), and I can already tell a huge difference not only in my attitude but also in what I produce. I’ll keep you posted over the next few weeks as I implement more of Debbie’s strategies in my life.
