How to Organize your Home Office

OR Workplace Office


I just wanted to say thank you for your time in teaching me about time management. As you promised, the “Action File” has changed my life. I’m able to stay on top of the paper mess that comes into my home. I knew the importance of daily maintenance prior to your class (I only learned this in the last year!), but you’ve taught me how to perform daily maintenance on the paper mess, not just tidying the house. Wow! What a great thing!” –Diane, 2009 UVUcommunity education class

Marriage Planning

My husband and I have been married for 31 years today. When we married we thought ourselves very similar. Our marriage looked to be easy. Exactly one year after we married, we found out we were expecting our first child. Once we had children we learned how different we were. Those differences brought with them great conflict. We chose not to plan together much because we no longer saw eye to eye. It took us 15 years to figure out what worked for us and our children. We came to better understand our own wants and needs and each others wants and needs after attending some life balance sessions together. We learned that our marriage was important to us and to our family’s happiness. We learned that planning together for an ultimate goal was important.

Thirty one years together. I am thankful for a husband who allowed me to change, grow and become the person I was meant to be AND I am very grateful he was willing to change, grow and better himself. Time has been good to us. Happy Anniversary Honey. I love you!

Organized Politics: 2008 Presidential Inauguration

This week I have been busy here in Utah Valley. I have instructed over 200 people through 6 presentations and have taken on 3 new clients. I have been busier than usual. Wow, am I ever grateful I am not a politician.

   Tuesday morning I watched the inaugural address of our 44th President, Barack Obama. He is an excellent speaker. I was touched by the willingness of our new Commander-in-Chief to uproot his young family and begin something he is not yet prepared for, but very hopeful about.  One of my favorite speech moments was when he spoke these words, “Our challenges may be new. The instruments with which we meet them may be new. But those values upon which our success depends — hard work and honesty…these things are old. These things are true.” I too believe hard work is a necessary ingredient in bringing success to any endeavor. Two other important ingredients are knowledge and experience.
