Simplify 101 • one person will receive a spot in the online workshop Organize Your Paper Clutter with Aby Garvey
Paper, paper everywhere! That paper mountain growing on your countertop
represents a loss of freedom, a loss of control, and a nagging feeling
in your gut that something important isn’t getting attended to. Your
paper, and the feelings it creates, makes it hard to relax, focus or
even have fun.
Here’s
the good news: there is a better way! With the right paper organizing
systems in place—those created with you, your paper, and your home in
mind—you can free yourself from paper clutter and the stress that comes
along with it. In Organize Your Paper Clutter, you’ll learn a
step-by-step process on how to decide if you need a piece of paper (and
for how long!) and how to organize it so you’ll find it again right
when you need it! Your piles (and your stress!) will be replaced by
organizing systems you love, and feelings of confidence, relief and
peace of mind!
Start date: Tuesday, April 21, 2009
End date: Tuesday, June 9, 2009
Registration status: open!

One of my favorite books right now is The Uglies, by Scott Westerfeld. I started reading it because the school I work at had it as an all-school read, but it is such a good story that I quickly got hooked and read the rest of the series! :)

My favorite all time book is The Good Earth. Each time I read it I discover something new. It's just a book about people. I first read it in 8th grade, and just re-read it again a few months ago. Another good book is to Kill a Mockingbird. Classics, but, that's why they are classics.

Well my favorite book is more of a series. I love the James Patterson books, but especially the Alex Cross series. It starts with Along Came A Spider and Kiss the Girls (they made them movies with Morgan Freeman). Such intense reads, but bad at night, cause then I can't sleep :)
