I’m returning to my blog of the week format, after a couple of Wednesdays away from it, with Disorder2Order, the blog of Megan Spears, an organizer in the Portland, Oregon, area.

Yesterday I sat for the examination to become a Certified Professional Organizer®. The certification exam is administered by the Board of Certified Professional Organizers. Certification began in 2007 and since then over 275 professional organizers have become certified. (There are 4,300 members of NAPO.)

This week I’m featuring Your Life. Organized, the blog of Monica Ricci, a professional organizer in Atlanta. Monica’s an organizer with a national presence.

She’s the author of Organizer Your Office in No Time.

Serenity for the Self-Employed is a blog written by freelance journalist Heather Boerner, with whom I’m acquainted through the online writing community I belong to, Freelance Success. Her blog, which aims to help self-employed people maintain their serenity (and sanity), just yesterday started a 30-day organizing challenge so this week seemed like a good week to highlight it on my blog.

If you’ve been reading this blog for any length of time, you know that I’m a fan of Mark Forster. He’s a time management and personal organization guru who wrote the time-management book I most adhere to, Do It Tomorrow and Other Secrets of Time Management (link at right).

This week’s Blog of the Week is The Organized Life, the weekly blog of Emily Wilska, a professional organizer in the San Francisco Bay area. Unlike most of my blogs of the week, which are updated at least several times a week, Emily’s blog serves as an archive of her weekly tips, which she sends out via email. The tips are so good, I decided to make it my blog of the week.

This week’s blog of the week can help you get unstuck. I first learned about habits guru Havi Brooks from my friend and life coach, Shannon Wilkinson, who is taking the Self Promotion for Wimps course taught by Havi and Naomi Dunford.

As I mentioned last week, I’m in Portland for the Garden Writers Association’s annual symposium. On Friday morning, I met with two Portland-area organizers and bloggers (both of whom have blogs that have been my blog of the week), Krista Colvin of Organize in Style and Brandie Kajino, The Home Office Organizer. Here’s a picture of Krista, Brandie, and me, taken by my fabulous friend and life coach, Shannon Wilkinson, who joined us.

On Wednesdays, I highlight a blog of the week, which is usually about organizing (though sometimes I stray). This week’s blog of the week is definitely about organizing. It’s organizer Brandie Kajino’s blog, The Home Office Organizer.

This week’s blog of the week is very different from the organizing blogs I usually highlight.
This blog is raising money for a freelance writer named Lori Hall Steele, a talented writer who is a part of the same online freelance community I belong to, Freelance Success.

I’ve blogged before about products from the Swedish furniture manufacturer and retailer IKEA. I like the look and price of their products. I’ve found their furniture to be long-lasting (my husband works daily at a desk we bought at IKEA in northern Virginia back in 1988, and I bought current desk at the IKEA in Elizabeth, NJ in 1998). I don’t like having to put furniture together, but I that’s why I have friends (thank you, Sally!).

This week’s Blog of the Week isn’t an organizing blog per se, but it’s full of fabulous, inspiring information that can certainly be applied to organizing (and professional organizers).

This week’s Blog of the Week is an oldie but goodie. I first became aware of Flylady back in the late nineties, before I ever dreamt of becoming a professional organizer. Technically, it’s not a blog. (It predates blogs.) But it’s frequently updated and full of treasures.

One of my favorite knitting blogs, Crazy Aunt Purl, justified its permanent status on the Links section of this organizing blog (where it’s been since Day One), with yesterday’s post.

As promised, on Wednesdays I’ll be presenting a Blog of the Week, to share with you my favorite organizing blogs. (Or at least I assume they’ll all be organizing blogs.)
This week’s blog is Los Angeles-based organizer John Trosko’s Organizing LA Blog.
