In our most recent teleclass, entitled Practical Feng Shui, we spoke with consultant and expert Ann Bingley Gallops of Open Spaces Feng Shui to learn what Feng Shui is, how it’s relevant to organizers, and ways in which re-arranging a space can change the feel and energy of a room.
For example, did you know that many people place their TV in ‘command position’ in their living rooms? Having the TV as the first thing one sees when one enters a room effectively makes it the master of the space, rather than the people living there! As a result, communication is decreased and the room feels more cold and uninviting. Simply turning the TV around or covering it up when it’s not in use can have a big impact on the functionality of the space.

In our most recent teleclass, we spoke with Hellen Buttigieg, author of Organizing Outside the Box. As I was preparing for this class, I discovered that I am an auditory learner. This was surprising to me, because I always assumed I was a visual learner, but once I learned this so many things made sense! It will really change how I do some things, and justifies many things I have thought about doing in the past with regard to my messages, reminders, and tasks.
I was very impressed with the book; it packs a lot of useful information in a short, easy-to-read style. You can literally read this book in an afternoon and start implementing her tips and tricks for the various learning styles in your home or office that same day.
You can order a copy of Orgainzing Outside the Box from Barnes & Noble or Amazon. Or leave a comment by October 27th telling me what space you would most like to organize, and you will be entered into a drawing to win a copy of the book. I will contact the winner in 7-10 business days of the drawing.

Hellen will speak to us about teaching ourselves to organize based on our personal learning style. As Hellen says in her book, “Organizing isn’t one size fits all. there are many ways to organize your space, your time, and your life. In general, no one way is better or worse than another. No two people are alike: A useful organizing tip may not work as well for you as it does for someone else. It might even make matters worse.”
On this call, you will learn:
What a ‘learning style’ is and what the different types of learning styles are.
How to figure out what learning style you or your clients use most.
Factors that will help us understand what someone’s learning style is.
How to pick organizing systems that compliment and work with your style.
How tailoring your organizing solutions to learning style increases the organizing success of your clients.
How to run a more efficient home and office by understanding the styles of family and co-workers.
