4.9/5 (30038 ratings)

Description:I learned organizing from my mother. Not because she taught me--she never gave me lessons or sat me down to explain the step-by-step how-to's. She was organized, and I was around her and did things like she did, as kids do. She was happy when she was doing an organizing project. It was never a chore for her, never labeled as "work." She enjoyed organizing and passed down that pleasure to me. When I was little and went to the grocery store with her, I would organize the shelves as she placed things in the shopping cart. I couldn't wait until I grew up and could work in a store and organize to my heart's content! Being organized was always a part of who my mom and I were; it's woven into the fabric of our personalities.As time went on, I became an accountant and spent my days in offices or cubicles. One day I had my "moment in the cube" as I called it, when I suddenly realized that I longed for something more. I looked out of the office window, a window I could not open to get even a tiny breath of fresh air, and wanted to be out there. To relate to people and not just the computer screen. To have an occupation that used more than just my brain but also my heart, soul, and life experience. I wanted to feel that I was making a difference in the world, helping people feel better, enriching their lives in some way. I checked out many things while I was still safely in that cube, and then one day I learned about professional organizing. A lightbulb went on above my head, the sky opened, birds sang, and I knew that this was what I had been searching for. I began to investigate the field; took classes to hone my craft; attended workshops and conferences, teleclasses and webinars; and joined the National Association of Professional Organizers. Eventually, I sprang from the cube, made organizing my livelihood, and became a Certified Professional Organizer. I even went so far as to legally change my last name, from my ex-husband's, whose name I did not want on my business cards, to my mother's maiden name, Lovallo.But nothing in all my training is as valuable to my clients as the organizing lessons I learned from the most organized person in the world: my mother.It is essential for the reader to know one of the most important facts about organizing: It is a learned skill. It is not a talent that you are born with; it can be learned at any time in your life. You can be disorganized for forty years and then learn how to be organized. I was fortunate that my mother was an early teacher for me, but that is not the only way to learn.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
