What a beautiful morning we had at Bruno's in New Carlisle !  For three hours, attendees learned about de-cluttering, how to get the process started, how to stop junk mail (along with a very entertaining story), how easily tackle the pile of papers on the top of their desks.  They also enjoyed a demonstration dealing with time management and stress. This workshop was just a little different - we had one gentleman in attendance.  So fella's - don't be afraid to get help with your clutter.   "Real men de-clutter!"  I like that quote, don't you? Carlisle Cafe & Sweets provided delicious cinnamon rolls and coffee.   After the workshop, many of the attendees enjoyed lunch with me at Bruno's. I am currently working on scheduling workshop's for the remainder of this year.   So far I will be presenting a De-Clutter Your Life Workshop in La Porte at B & J's Cafe on September 27th from 9-12 c.s.t.  Look for more information on that as

I recently saw a post on Facebook about planning and why bother doing it.  I filed this in my memory and thought - I've got to write about this. I am a  planner.  Always have been.  I have to get everything ready for the next day, the night before.  Files pulled, clothes selected, GPS programmed, etc.  That way I can get going without any roadblocks.  Now, there have been times when I've been too tired to prepare for the next day.  Those  mornings never go well.  I can't figure out what to wear, takes me forever to find the address to where I am going, I forgot I needed to leave a little earlier to get gas, etc.  Do you see why I'm a planner?  I really don't want to start my day like that . It just sets me up to have a rotten day - and who needs it? In another post on Facebook, the topic was having an organized desk.  Much of the discussion was that it is not possible and only people with nothing better to do were organized.  Oh boy.  Let me tell you - I have
