Organizing
the Entrepreneur
Rather than being “nickled and dimed” by clutter and poor systems, invest in the process of getting your business organized. ... List what it is costing you to be disorganized in your entrepreneurial venture. Productivity? Credibility? Stress? Lost leads, which means lost income? An ulcer? Organizing is like counseling. You first have to figure out how you got here before you can get out of the place you’re in. If you truly want lasting change in your business and in your office, you will have to find out how you arrived in this place of chaos. Sure, it may be that you never set up good systems in the first place. However, it could also be that your time management is not supporting your office. ... Once you identify your causes of disorder, you will be more likely to reap lasting benefits from your investment in organizing. From longer article: Organizing the Entrepreneur - by Vicki Norris |

 .. .. ADD-Friendly Ways to Organize Your Life by Judith Kolberg, Kathleen Nadeau In
Part one, "Getting Started" and Part two, "Taking Charge of ADD," the
authors
tell their readers what they are going to tell them about organizing
their
lives; in Part three, "Thing Organizing," Part four, "Time Organizing,"
and Part five, "Paper Organizing," they tell their readers about
organizing
their lives...
|
All of the chapters in Parts Three, Four and Five present solutions to organizational problems in three categories: "Level One Solutions: Ways to Help Yourself;" "Level Two Solutions: Help from Friends and Family;" and "Level Three Solutions: Help from Professionals." .... The authors don't expect adults with ADD-related organizational problems to solve them by themselves. To the contrary, they urge them to "give themselves permission to obtain the help they need," in order to counteract the ubiquitous social pressure on adults to grow up and handle their own problems. from mentalhelp.net review by Jack R.

 When our lives are shaped by the fear and lack-based inherited purpose, many times we can get into a vicious circle of doing and having which leads to a life of overwhelm and clutter. |
We
can get caught in this trap when we misidentify our true purpose as
what
we're meant to DO while we're alive. Going down this path can lead us to a life filled to over-flowing with doing, doing, doing, which can in many cases result in a lot of having, having, having but at the same time a true sense of satisfaction, fulfillment and joy continues to elude us. ... No one wins in this vicious circle. from

& Clutter - By W. Bradford Swift

 .. .. Set aside your prejudice that people who carry calendars don't have any fun in bed. If you want to take control of your future, the first thing you're going to have to do is get your life in order... people who create order may be on to something. .... |
If
you know someone who keeps his or her space well organized and affairs
in order... take another look at them.
Staying on top of petty details may provide that person with an edge you could use. /// Pay attention to your own internal order as well. If you spend even just a little time reviewing your wishes and following up on them, you achieve more internal order and better external results. /// Without order, you can run quickly into chaos. ... SLHPPs [Self-Limiting High Potential Persons], for example, often wind up with multiple interests pitted against each other because they do not focus on how they use their time.

 .. .. To know where one is going and what one wishes -- this is order; to keep one's word and one's engagement -- again order; to have everything ready under one's hand, to be able to dispose of all one's forces, and to have all one's means under command -- still order; |
to
discipline one's habits, one's efforts, one's wishes; to organize one's
life, to distribute one's time, to take the measure of one's duties and
make one's rights respected;
to employ one's capital and resources, one's talent and one's chances profitably -- all this belongs to, and is included in, the word order. Order means light and peace, inward liberty, and free command over one's self; order is power... Henri Amiel ... [written in 1853]

| "It
took me a long time to get a setup like this," he says, referring to
his
hillside creative complex, which also includes a lavishly appointed
recording
and editing studio.
"That's one of the things I used to long for, a setup where if you catch an idea you have the means to realize it. "There's a lot of frustration when you don't have that; it can be a torment. The idea may not go away, but it's not going to have the heat it had when you first got it. So it's good to have a shop of some kind." Looking at David Lynch in this setting, and listening to his rapid, digressive, almost alarmingly animated discourse, I realize that he has, to a greater degree than anyone I've ever met, organized his life to facilitate the collection and processing of artistic ideas. |

You
or your partner have a heightened awareness of subtleties in your
environment,
whether it's sight, sound, touch, taste, or smell.
You or your partner feel the need to file and organize things and thoughts, enjoys simplicity, and can be overwhelmed and immobilized by clutter and chaos. ... can become easily stressed out and upset when overwhelmed and find it necessary to get away by yourself, maybe into a darkened room, to seek relief and comfort. ... from site: Highly Sensitive People

I
read this book on a movie set, and everyone kept stealing it from me,
reading
it while I was shooting, and then raving about it.
Finally I got to finish the book and found it amazingly helpful -- Laura helps you organize information you already have inside so you can move your life forward in positive ways. I can't recommend this enough! Actress Julia Sweeney - about the book : Laura Berman Fortgang. Living Your Best Life: Discover Your Life's Blueprint for Success |
 .. .. excerpt from article Keep 13 in Play - What's Your Story Today? - by C. Hope Clark Someone asked me what was "Keep 13 in Play" recently. Those of you who have watched FundsforWriters for a while recognize it as a mantra I practice in submitting articles and queries. ... Two years ago I started "Keep 13 in Play" and have thanked my lucky stars for doing so ever since. You start a spreadsheet and list columns entitled Title, Publisher, Date Sent, Follow-up Date, Payment, and Notes. |
And
I mail queries or complete manuscripts steadily until I have thirteen
"in
play."
When I receive a rejection or acceptance, the number reduces and I'm prompted to immediately submit another to maintain the magical '13'. I made it an absolute necessity to keep the number at or over thirteen before doing anything else. The habit is a nice one to have. This little goal motivates me and keeps me steadily throwing bait out there to editors and publishers. The more I do it, the more clips I collect. I started slow, but over the two-year period, my rate of rejection has decreased. from
