Dig deep enough into the background of any Nancy Neatnick and she'll ultimately confess a harrowing tale of her formerly disorganized self. A dirty bedroom, disorganized closets, chaotic schedules. But after missing one birthday, one office visit, one deadline she was likely cured for good. If for not other reason that sheer embarrassment and the desire to never feel that way again. In one single moment, Nancy transformed into the modern day do-it-all woman. As a business owner, I prize organization above many other noble qualities. It allows me to live in a clean home, juggle what seem to be dozens of tasks, complete projects on time, keep appointments, and generally live in an orderly and happy world. I thrive when there is structure so that my creative mind can run free with ideas.

It is a learned behavior, no matter what "experts" tell you. Yes...you can be organized. You just need to do one thing: DECIDE to be an organized person. Once you raise your standards and declare that quality as a "must" in your life you'll be cured. It certainly was true for me. If the appeal of never missing a deadline again can't sway you to join "our team" then maybe the cool journals, stickers, notebooks and pretty paper accessories we use will convince you. After all, a Disorganized Debbie just wouldn't look right carrying around such a fetching little journal or brandishing such a pretty little dayplanner. And she might... (can I say this aloud?) lose it. Tsk Tsk. You see, the Nancys of the world feel a certain tension with the Debbies. Because as much as Debbie might complain about her missing to-do lists and missed appointments, she could easily fix these thngs. She could absolutely pull it together and turn her life around as Nancy did.

Anyone can make a decision that forever changes the trajectory of their life like once-disorganized-Nancy. She can now tell her husband she'd like him to grab the the third white shirt from the back of the closet. She can tell you that the kitchen shears are in the utensil drawer and the paper scissors reside in the utility drawer. She's a civilized version of her former self, surrounded by colorful notebooks, attractive wastebaskets and fabulous journals that have become a part of her very essence.
She's a changed person. Has been for as long as she can remember. And you can be too. So....if you're a Debbie I'm asking you to join our team. Make a decision and get it together. Your life will be far easier. You'll accomplish so much more. You'll find order in your chaos. Besides...It's a whole lot prettier over here thanks to all of our cool office accessories.
