It’s January 1 and I have to say, I have a good feeling about this year. Last year was a big bleurgh. I felt lost, with little sense of fun or passion. I was sleeping poorly, largely because I couldn’t breathe well at night. I felt tortured about work and what I should be doing. I was letting petty […]

Occasionally someone does something that’s designed to hurt you. You, in particular. Most likely because they are hurt or angry about something they believe you did to them. For the most part, though, the things people say and do are entirely about them. Motivated by their own desires and fears and life stuff and possibly […]

At Body Combat we punch imaginary opponents and kick the air. I used to really struggle with my kicks. I’d lose my balance, have no power in my kicking leg, look even sillier than usual. Until I finally heard, and understood, one of the cues the instructors had been giving. Set your foot. Set your […]

I confess: I’m a ruminator. An over-analyzer. Left to my own devices, I can get caught in a mental loop for days. I have a friend who can think things through in his head. He literally closes his eyes and thinks though a concern or a problem, exploring options, considering consequences, weighing possible outcomes. He […]

One thing that bewilders me in Body Combat class is when people don’t move in time to the beat of the music. You’d think the laws of probability or sheer random luck would mean occasionally they’d land a kick on the beat. Or a punch in time to the music. But no. It just never […]

Do you take offense at things people say or do? Are you appalled on a semi-regular basis? Sometimes people do terrible things. Sometimes they say awful things. This post is not about that. This post is about taking offense. Because I want to suggest that taking offense is a poor strategy for reacting to something […]

Organized my presentation. I managed to clear out clothes that don’t fit, are too old, as well as shoes, jewelry. I pared things down to the point that what I have left fits well, looks good and I love to wear. This has been a most successful site for me. Thank you.
Thanks for making this simple! There are plenty of these type of plans out there but I needed KISS, Keep It Simple, Sweetie. The best part for me was “Move fast. Don’t over-think.” That’s me in a nutshell; dwell, dwell, dwell. I am very fond of gentle nudges and yours are the best!
Michele, thank you DEARLY for the inspiring contribution & value that you add to my life 😉
I just started reading some of your posts and comments people have made and went into your website and just loved it…the way you write, your tips, some hilarious sayings and quotes and your comments on happiness and how going into action makes us so happy. Lots of food for thought as I comtemplate my own life which felt like I had lost direction till I read that wonderful Oscar Wilde quote 🙂
Michele. I just got the Organize Your Life and Goals Workbook Planner! That is awesome! I can’t put it down. Just what I needed! Keep up the good work!
This has been a very liberating experience for me! I still have more papers to go through and file or dispense with, but I AM getting there! Doing this and the Declutter Your Wardrobe program last year has changed how I deal with “stuff”, which is a great feeling! Thanks Michele!
The thing I like most about it is that, for a list-maker like me, it’s irresistible: when I’ve made a list I just have to cross everything off it. In December I started on the household and got so much done… On xmas day I started with health & fitness and am very motivated.
I have NEVER seen such beautiful and easy to use forms on PDF. I’m loving working with your documents and information. Thank you.
I love your site and advice. Thank you for inspiring me to simplify!
Love, love, LOVE the Get Organized site, and the brilliant lists. You made me a very happy girl today.
