I leave in the morning to fly to New Orleans to attend the annual conference of the National Association of Professional Organizers. This is the eighth year in a row I’ve attended this conference and it’s hard for me to imagine missing it.

The CPO-CD® program

21 November 2012 | Comments [0] »

I am very proud to have gone through the Level III certification program from the Institute for Challenging Disorganization (back then it was called the National Study Group on Chronic Disorganization) and earned the credential Certified Professional Organizer in Chronic Disorganization®.

A great time management class for organizers

17 September 2012 | Comments [0] »

Julie Morgenstern is somewhat of a rock star among professional organizers. She wrote the books, Organizing from the Inside Out and Time Management from the Inside Out more than ten years. Those books helped many, many people (including me). Since then she’s gone on to build a high-profile, successful organizing company. She develops products, like the new “Circa Balanced Life Planner”: http://www.levenger.com/Circa-Notebooks-326/Balanced-Life-20603.aspx from Levenger. And she trains professional organizers through the Julie Morgenstern Organizing Institute.

Until now, ICD did not offer classes to people who don’t belong to the group. In keeping with its vision of being the “premier resource in chronic disorganization,” ICD is now offering four recorded teleclasses that anyone can take.

A great resource for organizers

Last night, the Institute for Challenging Disorganization teleclass was on children who hoard. Kim Anker-Paddon and Leslie Josel, who taught the class, gave us some great case studies as well as a review of the (limited) research on the topic. Fascinating stuff.

There’s little I like better than having fun while learning. And that’s exactly what I’m doing here in San Diego at the NAPO conference.

Off to organizers' heaven!

21 April 2010 | Comments [0] »

I’m leaving this morning for Columbus, Ohio, to attend the annual conference of the National Association of Professional Organizers. This will be my fifth NAPO conference in a row and I’m as excited as ever. There will be hundreds of smart, friendly, interesting organizers there to talk with. There’s an expo of organizing products (be still my heart), there are amazing educational sessions. The chance to see old friends and make new ones.

Checking in for a quick moment to say how wonderfully fortunate I feel to be at the national NAPO conference here in Reno. I just heard the most wonderful keynote address from Peter Walsh, who totally rocks.

Bragging rights

9 October 2007 | Comments [2] »

I don’t like to brag, truly, but I’m really proud of some credentials I’ve attained recently and I want to share. I’m in the process of updating my website, and the new credentials will be a permanent fixture there, but in the meantime, I’ll post it here.
