Peace of Mind Organizing

More publicity for the organizing profession

26 September 2008

I’m lucky enough to have an accountability partner in another state. She’s Betty Huotari, of Logical Placement, the president of the Southeast Michigan chapter of NAPO. We’d met at the NAPO national conference in the past, and this year, when the audience was encouraged by speaker Lisa Montanaro to have accountability partners to keep each other on track with our goals, Betty approached me about working together. We talk once a month or so and it’s been great.

Anyway, Betty was kind enough to send me a link to a great article in the current issue of ADDitude Magazine, the magazine for people with Attention Deficit Disorder. The writer of the article, who has ADD, wrote about her success using Betty’s organizing services. You couldn’t have a better testimonial to the work we do. Well done, Betty!

If that weren’t enough, yesterday on the local morning talk show on our St. Louis NPR station, KWMU, the topic was hoarding and cluttering. (The show is available for download at the above link.) Guests were Alec Pollard of the St. Louis Behavioral Medicine Institute and Sheila McCurdy, author of The Floor Is Not An Option. Sheila, who lives in California, was in town for the annual conference of the National Study Group on Chronic Disorganization, which started last night.

While I would have loved if the organizer interviewed were local, Sheila did a great job and it was an interesting interview. I only caught the second half on the radio yesterday, but I enjoyed what I heard. After life slows down when the NSGCD conference is over, I’ll download and listen to the first half!

I love it when our profession gets the exposure it deserves.
