Serenity for the Self-Employed: Blog of the Week

29 October 2008 | Comments [0] »

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.

The Organized Life: Blog of the Week

15 October 2008 | Comments [3] »

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.

IKEA hacker: Blog of the Week

20 August 2008 | Comments [0] »

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!).

Flylady: Blog of the Week

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.
