How I wish you were here to organize my apartment!! We sold the house so quickly on Congdon that we had no time to shift stuff other than some furniture to the kids. Our once “Zen” beach pad now looks like the Antiques Road show. I’ve been wading thru clothes from London and Jim’s 26 prs of golf shoes. Sorry we’ve been out of touch-
We’ve had mattresses piled up to the ceiling and can’t even find a phone, much less my feet. Happy New Year guys, we’ll see you in the summer. ps, nick’s wife michelle had been in hospital doing chemo for 3 wks. lost all hair- not good.
your site looks great C. xxx love joyous

Very interesting article. I so agree with the comment about using your Blackberry (or in my case, my Pantech Duo smartphone) to make the most of idle moments. These wonderful tools are one of a working caregiver’s/grandmother’s best friends! I can check on and update my Twitter account; read from my Google Reader and send notes to myself for articles for my blog; and use Jott to call myself with even more ideas, to-do items, etc. Now, instead of dreading long lines, or long waits at the doctor’s office, I almost look forward to them.

I just traded my Palm Treo for a Blackberry, and I’m seeing a huge improvement in my email productivity. A few months ago, I read David Allen’s Getting Things Done and that helped a ton with my home office organization. And to your point, Candita, some of my best ideas occur when I take time to walk or run…basically exit work/mom mode. Great advice on your part. Thanks! Oh…I’m not sure I can kick my hubby’s desk out of my office Tips?
