@Jen
I used to have yellow stickies all over my desk and computer, a phone log, an order book and a notebook that served as a gratitude list. I could barely see the surface of my desk. My then organizer (the wonderful Marcia Sloman) suggested a Master Notebook which is simply, for me, a spiral bound book that receives EVERYTHING that comes in during the day: brainstorms, gratitudes, phone numbers, email addresses, etc. Later, I can sort through this repository and take the necessary actions, but I don’t miss a detail and can look back a few pages if I did. Hope that helps.

@Scarlett
For sure! I’ll put on my Jackie Kennedy outfit and give you the royal tour!

@Peggy
Yes, you remarkable women get to meet each other at these events. I know wonderful women and love to introduce you to each other. No telling what can happen…

What a thrill to see Betsy and her business recognized–it’s so well deserved. I met Betsy at a ’30 Remarkable Women Event’ last year at Artifacts where I learned that she is a dynamo! During our break-out time, Betsy reinforced that clearing out old files will bring in the new–a mantra to which I subscribed last year. It was a golden piece of advice. Congratulations to Betsy on her successes and to you Jane on a spectacular looking laundry room!

What a HAPPY laundry room!! May I get a tour next time I am around?
I love organizing, being organized and learning from talented professionals like Betsy Krobot. Congratulations to you both for being so good at what you do!
P.S. Jan Wencel is correct, working is always so much more fun with such wise and open clients like you.

So Jane, your mention of a master notebook caught my eye. Could you elaborate on that concept a little further or have you written about this in a previous post?

Thanks!

@Jan
You’re so kind to give me and THE CLIENT equal billing in the process. And you’re right. Without a receptive client, you couldn’t do your job. Nice noticing! Plus, Betsy knows how to make it fun. Thanks for adding this piece to the pie.

Jane, your laundry room looks spectacular.

Those of us in the professional organizing industry appreciate the praises you’re ringing, but we couldn’t make a difference without clients like you. You opened yourself up to see a new vision. You made decisions about new habits to keep. And then you followed through on your commitment to change.

Congratulations to you & Betsy for forming a moving partnership!
