Peace of Mind Organizing

My favorite blog posts of 2011

26 December 2011

I wrote 130 blog posts in 2011. I thought that today, in honor of the end of the year, I’d post links to my favorite half dozen.

Inspiration from the Cardinals. Game 6 of this year’s World Series was one of the best ever. Besides being very exciting to watch (particularly if you, like me, were rooting for the Cards), I thought there were some great lessons to be found.

Bingo! This summer I made a bingo board that has helped improve my productivity. It really jazzed me up. I’ve been on TV talking about it. I wrote an Organizing Guide about it. This is the blog post that started it.

Being happy with less than perfect. Harold Taylor’s insights on perfectionism (which he shared during a workshop sponsored by NAPO St. Louis in September 2011) really resonated with me. In this post, I share the highlights.

Are you interested in becoming a professional organizer? This post started out as a response to the frequent emails I receive from aspiring POs asking how I got started (and, by extension, how they can get started) as a PO. It became much more useful when my colleagues added great info to it in the comments.

Working with a professional organizer This post provides some general guidelines for people who are planning to work with a professional organizer. Like the “becoming a professional organizer” post, it was enhanced by comments from my colleagues.

The magic of linking new routines to old. In January 2010, I came up with a poop-scooping routine that changed my life. And I’m not even exaggerating.

Blogging is such a fun exercise and I’d so glad that I started this blog five years ago. It’s nice to look over the articles find the few that jump out at me. I hope you enjoy perusing them.
