Organizing Ideas from GON Readers

GON Reader Letter #1

Regarding your November 10 issue, this is a subject I constantly struggle with as I want to go as fast as I can to the next thing.

My message to self here is “finish and follow through or sometimes “finish strong.” I find it has to do with the underlying rhythm I set to my day.

Now that I have retired from a career, I can dial back my rhythm from that of a gazelle toward more of that a sloth...complete things and smell the roses along the way.

-- Maruta

GON Reader Letter #2

I use the envelope shopping list tip already (writing what I need to get at the grocery store on an envelope that arrived with one of my bills) but I also use the envelope to hold the coupons I hope to use for the list.

-- Carla Lake

GON Reader Letter #3

I prefer Qi Gong rather than Tai Chi for balance. The moves are the same but there are no sequences to memorize. Tai Chi is a Martial Art whereas Qi Gong is a peaceful flow of energy through the body. Love your posts!

-- Allen Stanton

P.S. Get and stay organized this holiday season with my Christmas Holiday Planner!

"My sister just recommended your newsletter to me and I am loving it. Getting my home decluttered (I'm downsizing) is my top priority in the coming year. Keep the good tips coming!"
