As you all know I have working on getting things a little more organized and running more smoothly. A BIG help has been some handy little books I got from 1-2-3 Get Organized!
First was the Three Steps to Time Management for the Stay-at-Home Mom. you ever feel like the day just seems to get away from you? I do all the time. When you are a sty-at-home mom people assume you have nothing to do all day. If they only knew! This little guides gives you three simple and easy steps to manage your time. It’s divided into three easy chapters that can be read in one trip to the potty. Don’t deny it! You know this is where you do all your reading and heavy thinking too. I learned how to let the little things go and just to accomplish those things in the day that were most important but to also be more flexible about things.
The next book Three Steps to Organizing Your Office was a God send. Before this handy little guide my office area was shameful. Things tend to pile up and I always seem to have such a hard time getting things together. For those of you who are not reviewers you would not believe the amount of materials we get. I get press release, assets (paper explaining the product or company) with products I receive, not to mention the books. I have huge piles of books. Now I have things much more organized thanks to this little guide. It’s another one of those quick reads, but it’s straight to the point which I of course adore!
Finally there was Three Steps to Planning Dinner. Dinner is always the one time of the day where I need a lot of planning. I am never sure what to make from day to day. When my husband and I first got together he would write out what he wanted me to cook every night because I was always at a lost. i am a great cook but it’s the planning that gets me. This book helped me learn how to plan meals for the week and make sure they were wholesome at the same time.
Beverly Coggins is the mastermind and genius behind 1-2-3 Get Organized. she is a true life saver.
“Organization is my passion, not as an end in itself, but as a means to an end. When my home, office, and life are organized, I have more time and energy to devote to my family, my friends, and my faith in Jesus Christ. During my 26 years coaching within a non-profit, I became fascinated with personality profiles. After becoming trained as a Myers-Briggs Personality Type facilitator, I started my own business helping people master the key areas of life and business: interpersonal relationships, clarity of focus and priorities, maximizing time and energy, and organizing space – both at home and at the office.” from 1-2-3 Get Organized website.

{PROS} Easy to read books, no fancy and big words, no changes so major that you wouldn’t want follow through.
{CONS} The biggest con I could see was someone just being to set in their ways to make the changes, if that’s the case these books aren’t for you anyway.

Time Management for the Stay-at-Home Mom is what I’ve got my eye on. I’m a WAHM so that throws in even more of a time crunch.
