Organize Your Life Organizer Review

My Friends Jayne and Val over at Guilt Free Business Mother's have put together some lovely words to describe our Organize Your Life e- Organizer. If their words ring true with you, come visit our website and see what we are all about and how we Organize Your Life may be able to help you.

"Are you a list maker with great ideas about things you need to do?
I am. Trouble was, I would write the lists on bits of paper then forget where I'd 'filed' them. Now that's OK if it's the shopping list. But when the lists cover things you might only think about once a year, what then? Great ideas are often lost forever.
I do have a goal book. But my contact list wasn't easy to update. There were also some things about my husband (clothing sizes, preferences) that I would never seem to remember.
But Claire McFee, one of our favourite GFBM Collective experts, is helping me overcome all that with her oh-so-comprehensive Organize Your Life planning system.
Her e-organisers help you keep track of family, money, home and self. And it's that 'self' part that I wanted to mention today.

When I first started using it, I couldn't believe how comprehensive it way. Right down to listing what you want at your funeral! How sensible is that? And what a load it would take off your loved-ones! If you could do with a really comprehensive system, check out Organize Your Life.

Claire has been offering this system for a decade now so it's well tested. And the best thing for me is her advice: you don't have to do it all at once--but at least you know where to find it all and keep building on it!"

Thanks Gals. :)

Till next Time. Happy organizing.

Routine or No routine? Routine any day I say...well most days.

One of my favourite writers - Stephanie Dowrick, wrote a great piece in her Inner Life column in The Age Newspaper recently titled, "The bliss of a routine Life." Stephanie sums up things in such an eloquent but practical way - tying up all those loose ends about how our physical, mental and spiritual worlds can coexist together for the best results.

A lot of people confuse the goal to get organized with being anal and lacking in flexibility and spontaneity. I wholeheartedly disagree with this black and white assertion. The absolute majority of us who try to better Organize Our Lives, do so knowing our lives will never be perfect, nor do we want to be. We however know that making an effort to get organized, can make a huge difference to our satisfaction levels in our life / or our happiness quotient as others refer to it as.

Good organization and routines go hand in hand. In my view, just as much for most adults as it does for children. Stephanie's article mainly focused on the benefits of good routines for those with children, but I believe her ideas cover us all no matter what age. For those of you with children though, here is one few of my favourite quotes from Stephanie's article.

"It is incredibly helpful to parents, and soothing and stabilising for the child, to have predictable rhythms to most days' events." Dowrick goes on to say that although our modern busy lives seem to be at odds with this philosophy the two can go together. Albeit with a bit of pre-planning, organization and of course effort!

"It is understandable that parents should rate flexibility so highly. It's how we tend to live our adult lives, hurtling from one thing to another, multi-tasking madly and responding to what's most urgent, rather than what's most important...."

We can trick ourselves into thinking we are coping just fine with our incessantly busy lives but increasing stress levels; mental illness and stress related physical diseases tell us otherwise.

So it is in all our best interest, kids or no kids to take some time-out occasionally and to pre-plan your day, week etc and see if you can notice the difference in your happiness quotient at the same time.

The more satisfied you are with your life, the better able you are to want to get organized in the first place - as well as have the motivation to stay organized. It's all inter-related of course!

Happy Organizing.

Organize Your Life in the Media again - this time about Children and Pocket Money

I was asked to comment for Cheryl Crithcley's Herald Sun parenting Column again. This time on children and pocket money - titled "Cash or chaos?"

Coincidentally Kimberley Davies - x-Neighbours actor - was on the front cover of the Lift Out the article was in - who I was friends with at middle school - In fact we used to dress up as the characters from Anne of Green Gables and act our the story on her parents farm. I'm pleased to see how well she has done over the years. Kim comes from a lovely family -I actually had a crush on one of her brothers way back when. Ahh memories!

Social Analyst David Clarke was also quoted in the article saying "Chores are less of a priority now because kids spend so much time social networking, busy families no longer follow strict routines and life is a lot more ad hoc". Not that it's a good thing though!! He went on to say the "helping around the house is an important part of learning life skills, and pocket money also teaches about finances..."

Less bribing children to do chores and making it part of being in a family and being responsible for their things is important too.

For more tips on how to teach your child about money and when the best time is to start giving your child pocket money, read this article on our Organize Your Life Website.

"I thought Claire said Organize Your Wife, and thought, 'I must get one of those, a wife is just what I need.'

Then she gave me her Organizer. It is the most useful 'organ' I have ever met, I may never need another.

Take my home, take my husband, but please don't take my Organizer.

I would rather give my toddler my entire make-up kit, jewellry box and zip drive for a day, than allow her

a second to tamper with my organizer. Get the picture.Filofax is just another 'F' word to me now -

get Organize Your Life! and control the chaos."
