"A picture is worth a thousand words when it comes to explaining how to simplify your life," says Marcia Ramsland.
|
|
That is why I love to include PowerPoint pictures in my speeches and my client consultations. Once I describe
it in my book or in person, a light bulb goes on and they say, "I can do this!"
And they do. That's the beauty of my trainings - even you CAN do this!!!"

|
It's not that bad, is it?
|
 |
This client was so busy with her two young preschoolers that the paperwork and daily "stuff" got out of hand. After an intense day of work with Marcia, the client and her attorney husband were ecstatic to see their beautiful kitchen counter, table, and floor in tip top shape. And it has stayed!
Tip: Every where you go, cleanup the front two-thirds of your counters for a calming, clutter-free look! |

What? A Personal Organizing Center in my kitchen?
|
 |
Everything was beautifully decorated in this client's home, but the paperwork guilt was a bothersome sight. Success was just around the corner with a plan for the mail each day.
Now this client is ready to tackle her paperwork at her Personal Organizing Center with her Letter Opener with Conquering the Mail Tips. |

Everything but the kitchen sink
|
 |
Yes, your kitchen is the heart of the home. But what if everything is clean except the kitchen sink?
After working together to set up homes for everything, Marcia and her client uncovered a beautiful kitchen. Life became much easier for this busy carpooling mother of three children.
Tip: Spend 15 minutes (or less) after every meal on cleanup and you'll never have this pile up again! |

Help! I've got to get organized!
|
 |
This busy client was ready for a complete office overhaul!
As a writer and speaker working out of her homeoffice, the four walls were crowding in on this client's creativity and reputation.
After following the diagrams and steps in Simplify Your Life, this client was back on track after Marcia's personal consultation and the client's own final sorting. |

I live at my office!

If you spend
most of your time at your desk,
you deserve better than this!
Once Marcia organized this client, he was off and running to enjoy his day and accomplish his work. No more feelings of being overwhelmed. Once the workspace was organized, the workload was easier and became the focal point.
His comment? "What a relief to work again with much more clarity and simplicity after Marcia's consulting services."
Tip: Practice the "Two Minute pickup" every time you leave your desk. (Simplify Your Life -chapter 10 "Simplify Your Worklife.") |

"Just to let you know, the gal who cleans my house told me that my house is the most organized of all the houses she cleans (compliment to you). Then she asked me how I did it, and asked me to come over to her house to give her some ideas.
"I did that over Christmas break, and I also passed your books on to her. She is a single mother of 3, and it gave me great joy to help her. She was especially interested in "Simplify Your Time," because that seems doable when you clean all day, and then come home to school-age children. So, thanks."

Your Time Is Simple;
Your Life Is Not
If practice makes perfect, then we should be awesome time managers! Afterall, we
have been using time every day of our lives. So why aren’t we experts at
using our time? Because life happens to us. Because we get
fuzzy and unfocused. Because we get tired of the “have-tos”
and prefer the “want-tos” but get trapped in the “never-getaround-
tos.” And before we realize it, we run out of time.
When you need more time, where do you go to get it?
There are no ATMs or banks for time deposits or withdrawals.
But there is something you can do: redistribute
your commitments and spend time where you want to. You
have 24 hours a day, 168 hours per week, and 8,736 hours
per year. They contain all the time you need to achieve the
hopes and dreams you were created for––
one day at a time.
Simplify Your Time
—How?
To simplify your time, you need to look at the key strategies used by successful
time managers, people much like you. These strategies comprise four
main categories, and I’ve chosen one focus per week. Under each category,
we’ll look at one key skill each day that you can immediately put into practice
to simplify your time.
Each week, you’ll save enough time to enjoy some extra downtime—
whether for work, family, or fun. By the end of our thirty-day journey, you’ll
be ready to plan future goals and sail right through them. Here’s the agenda
ahead:
WEEK 1: PRACTICAL
TIME-SAVING HABITS.
From making your bed to
handling your paperwork, good habits done quickly will save you lots of time
and help your day run smoothly.
WEEK 2: PRACTICAL
TIME-SAVING TOOLS.
With the right tools, you’ll be
able to organize, simplify, maintain your time, and minimize stress as you
respond to myriad daily challenges.
You can add time to
your life by deleting an
activity that is unproductive.
But you multiply
your time when you
add an activity that
energizes you.
WEEK 3: PRACTICAL
TIME-SAVING SKILLS.
Once you have implemented
time-saving habits and time tools, you’ll want to learn the skills to “break the
rules” and solve problems that arise.
WEEK 4: PRACTICAL
TIME-SAVING STRATEGIES.
Once your everyday life is
working, you’ll have time to look ahead and plan for future seasons, as well as
create a plan for what to do when life brings challenges you didn’t expect.
With thirty days of time-saving tips and systems, plus 100 time-saving tips
tucked into the thirty chapters, you can begin having the time of your life. You
will be more conscious of how you spend your time, who you spend it with,
how you squander some of it, and how you wish to reorder it. In other words,
you’ll be in charge of your time instead of your time being in charge of you.
