I’m going to be a little cheeky and promote my new post on Part-Time Wage Slave (for those wondering what PTWS is, check out my previous update). In it I take a detailed look at work/life balance, rethinking quite what it means, what it stands for and whether it has any validity in the 21st [...]

As you may have guessed by my extended absence over the lady couple of months, I have been taking a break from Organize IT. It turned out to be a refreshing change not having to deal with doing a regular post or contend with the daily maintenance cycle that a three year old blog has…. [...]

This is a guest post by Emma Newman of Post Apocalyptic Publishing. I once heard that former British Prime Minister Mrs Thatcher said “Happiness is a ticked off list”. I have no idea if that’s true, but regardless of how one might have felt about her politics, I can certainly relate to that statement. I [...]

I’ve written a lot about being organized and de-cluttering your life, in fact I did an entire book about it (you can download it for free here).

I’ve been a bit busy these past few weeks getting the blog updated for 2010, so I thought I’d do one big post to share with you all what’s been happening. Firstly, you may have noticed it now has a new design. Gone is the sunflower theme which had absolutely nothing to do with the [...]

A couple of months ago I posed a little question on Twitter, having spent quite a bit of time figuring out how best to categorize Organize IT.

View original image This is a guest post by Francis Wade of Time Management 2.0. Most professionals can name a handful of time management systems that they have come across in their professional careers. They can probably also list a few people here and there who have embraced these systems and are quite happy using [...]

On Monday I said goodbye to the new year’s resolution. They are certainly a waste of time but what else can you do? As I said previously, though the new year is bad for resolutions, it’s great for that sense of having a fresh start and a clean slate. We humans seem to love it [...]

It’s January. That can mean only one thing. New year’s resolutions are back in force, not only because it’s a new year but a new decade also. But it doesn’t seem to really matter what year, decade or century it is (or any other milestone you can think of for that matter). Statistically, the vast [...]
