		<title>If Not For Yourself, Then Do It For Others</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Getting rid of clutter for clutter&#8217;s sake is not very rewarding.  It brings you face-to-face with the accumulation of your life; memories, poor purchases that never delivered the feeling you sought in purchasing it, possessions you have long since outgrown or no longer need.  It can feel like trudging through a morass of mud and sludge.
Yet, when [...]]]></description>

		<title>Ready, Set . . .&#8221;GO&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[With getting organized near the top of people&#8217;s lists of New Years resolutions, it is easy to understand why the National Association of Professional Organizers (www.napo.net) worked to get January named GO (Get Organized) Month.
When PhD and internationally acclaimed author, Sonia Choquette published her book True Balance; A Commonsense Guide for Renewing Your Spirit, in 2000 [...]]]></description>

		<title>What&#8217;s Your Organizational &#8220;Style&#8221;?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I believe that everyone has an organizational &#8220;style&#8221; and that, as a Professional Organizer, my role is to help them find it.  There are many benefits to this approach:
1.  We move into solution mode following a fairly brief assessment.  There is no time for judgment.
2.  Our clients never feel embarrassed and if they do, we [...]]]></description>

		<title>Time Management for Dummies</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Help!  Ever have that feeling you are drowning in your priorities, responsibilities, &#8220;things to do&#8221;, places to go, people to see&#8221; lists?  Do you have too many &#8220;to-do&#8217;s&#8221; and too little time?  Can I get a big &#8220;Amen?&#8221;!
I haven&#8217;t posted since Sept. 28 (in case you haven&#8217;t noticed).  Yes, even my time can get overrun [...]]]></description>

		<title>&#8220;Time Out&#8221; for Organizing</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We were recently contacted by Kevin Aeh, a writer for &#8220;Time Out Chicago&#8221; to perform a closet organizing project for their upcoming design issue.
Lucky guy!  He even got to be our guinea pig.  Kevin is a hip, urban professional with a creative job and an eclectic sense of style.  We liked him immediately and weren&#8217;t deterred [...]]]></description>

		<title>Resolve to Live a Simpler Life</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I am an experiential learner, a graduate from the School of Life, one who must first make the mistake before “getting” the lesson.  My journey towards simplicity and my mission with White Space ™ to assist others who are seeking more balance, order, simplicity and control grew from my own experience, too.
Simplicity and order were [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Tipping Point of Clutter</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have been carrying around a copy of Malcolm Gladwell’s, The Tipping Point, ever since it first hit bookstores.  I even made my family pull over during a holiday trek into the mountains to search bookstores prematurely because I just knew it had wisdom I wanted. 
Well, nearly three years later and following several incomplete forays [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Character of Clutter</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Clutter has a great deal more value than any professional organizer is willing to admit.  It’s much easier to simply dispense with it and depart another satisfied client’s home, payment in hand.  Yet, after nearly a decade in the business of organizing other people’s stuff I have come to realize that clutter has value. 
Clutter consists [...]]]></description>

		<title>One Man’s Trash is Another Man’s Treasure</title>
		<description><![CDATA[More often than not, my clients need some motivation to help them take the first step in getting personally organized.  Once it took motivation just to get the client to let me in the door.  She actually positioned herself like a big “X” in the doorway to stop me from peaking into her world of [...]]]></description>

		<title>It&#8217;s About Time</title>

Actually, my title is “Master Simplifier” ™. And as such, I get to clear other people’s clutter, streamline their closets and their lives and help them find time in an [...]]]></description>
