It seems that all parts of my life sort of blend together sometimes, and I have found that the key to being organized for me is to separate those different parts of me - or rather define some space for each of the roles that I play. As a mom, I am in the kitchen a lot. I hate my kitchen - not the ideal space; it's small and cluttered. Dishes upon dishes - I use them, I clean them, I use them, I clean them!!! It's a never-ending battle. Part of being organized in the kitchen is keeping up with the dishes. I "power clean" - 1/2 hour after making a large meal is dedicated to clean up - no more, no less. I am so much more productive that way! I also dedicated a room to use as my office. Having this physical space where I can file my papers, keep my computer, post my Prosperity Board, and keep my headset and telephone helps me keep my role as "Coach" from invading the other parts of my life. I get more done when I am working on coaching stuff, because I have to go to my office to do it. I give myself dedicated hours during the day to do my stuff - no more, no less - and it works! The laundry...hmmmmmmmmm.....I need a laundress...that's all there is to it!!!

As a mom, I am in the kitchen a lot. I hate my kitchen - not the ideal space; it’s small and cluttered. Dishes upon dishes - I use them, I clean them, I use them, I clean them!!! It’s a never-ending battle. Part of being organized in the kitchen is keeping up with the dishes. I “power clean” - 1/2 hour after making a large meal is dedicated to clean up - no more, no less. I am so much more productive that way!
