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.

Happy blogiversary to me!
Yesterday was the 5th anniversary of my blog. I can’t believe that I’ve been writing this blog for five years. In that time I’ve created 612 posts. (This is the 613th.) That’s quite a few words!
Giving myself a tiny break
At the end of last year, I set a goal of blogging every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. I’ve been very proud of the fact that I’ve kept that up each and every week since December 27, 2010.

Inbox zero: My email sanity saver
On January 2, I cleared my inbox down to zero email messages. And since then i’ve done it every work day except two, when I was out of town without my computer. That’s nearly five months of inbox zero at least five days a week. (I usually do it on the weekends as well.)

The amazing power of the chain
I’ve written here before about Don’t Break the Chain as a tool for helping create daily habits. The concept is that once you do something a few days in a row (which can be aided by marking a calendar), you psychologically don’t want to break the chain and you’re motivated to do the activity again.

Happy birthday, blog!
Today is the 4th anniversary of this blog. My first entry, on November 10, 2006, titled What is organized? was about everyone having personal standards for what they consider organized.
My favorite blog posts of 2009
I wrote just over 150 blog posts in 2009. Last week, I clicked through them and picked out some of my favorites to share with you in this post. The first go-around, I selected 24. But I figure that’s more than you care to see in one post. So I’ve cut that number in half.

A side benefit to being a blogger
I just got finished reading through my blog posts for 2009, in an effort to put together a post about my favorite blog posts of the year. (That’ll come later in the week.)

I'm a guest blogger on Someday Syndrome
Are you familiar with the terrific blog Someday Syndrome? It’s written by Alex Fayle, whom I first became familiar with back in 2006 when he was president of Professional Organizers in Canada. He’s relocated to Spain where he pursues his dream of writing fiction. He also calls himself a “Someday Mentor,” helping people live their dream lives. His blog is awesome and awe-inspiring.

Happy anniversary!
Two years ago today, I wrote my first post on this blog. The topic was “What is organized?”
