After you organize your desk

Nonnahs — Mon, 19 Mar 2018 19:11:53 +0000

There’s nothing more helpful than organizing your desk to make you feel more productive and creative.

Maybe there’s still too much stuff in the drawers, there are wires everywhere, and your workflow is […]

Doing it all; Home care ideas from a professional organizer

Nonnahs — Tue, 27 Jun 2017 01:22:46 +0000

Last week I talked about Doing it all. Since we can’t actually do everything, how can you figure out what things are most important for you. There is no cookie-cutter model for balancing work, family, and self. I think that’s because people have really different priorities. For some people, an organized house is not nearly […]

Doing it all

Resolution: get organized?

Nonnahs — Wed, 30 Dec 2015 15:18:30 +0000

The end of a calendar year brings the concept of time to the front of our consciousness as we count even the seconds until the entire set of numbers governing our modern lives turns over to give us a fresh start. We all love a fresh start. It feels natural to pause at the beginning […]

Prioritizing happiness: 4 steps to time management

Nonnahs — Wed, 15 Oct 2014 05:14:37 +0000

A few years ago I found myself thinking, I can’t wait to retire so I can have time to read books! Deep down I knew this was a ridiculous thought. Why was I waiting? Reading increases my happiness, so why not make it a priority now? So I did. I made happiness a priority by […]
