Quote of the Week: So much time and so little to do...
So much time and so little to do. Wait a minute. Strike that. Reverse it.
- Willy Wonka
I totally love this movie. It's like jumping back into my childhood every time I see it. The lessons to be learned in this movie are priceless (greed, sharing, giving and passion...just to name a few).
I choose this quote because I have been CRAZY busy this week... never enough time in the day!!!! Coming back from the NAPO Conference in Reno and back into the saddle of life has been a tough transition for me. Last year after my first conference, I realized the need to have some time to process all the awesome things I learned. So this year, I did plan some extra time in but sadly, it's never enough. It's been almost a week since I have been home and my things to do list is a mile long.
I started conference off on the right foot for sure this year with leadership sessions and an amazing opening keynote with Peter Walsh. Then knee deep in sessions on marketing, organizing methods and project management... so great! Two of my favorite speakers Patty Kreamer (who by the way, has a blog) and KJ McCorry both kicked butt... again. I took both their sessions last year and was so impressed that I had to see their session again!
As mentioned in my last post (sadly a week ago) we had the chance to meet up with other organizing bloggers... quite a few bloggers are already on my blogroll, but I was excited to meet so many others... and learn about their business/blogs! Two newbies I haven't heard of before were Lissanne (Australia) and Wendy (New Zealand) whom, I have to say were so exciting to hear talk about their businesses, and well... just talk. I love their accents!
A few other locals (or mainlanders) who I will enjoy reading (and would highly recommend to you) are Lorie at the Clutter Diet (I actually have had her in my reader for some time), Janine Adams at Peace of Mind who will be neat to watch, Allison Carter who truly puts the FUN in functional (and who's blog apparently is in a coma but I am going to bug her enough to revive it) and finally Jeri's Blog, who, if looking for products, she is your girl.
There really are so many more, but I am going to save those for my next few posts. I don't want to overwhelm you either. I am really looking forward to getting back into my routine and back into the game...
One I can't forget... a little plug for my local blogging gals who, I know I have talked about and must share the link love with as well... Krista at Organize in Style, who truly has her own amazing style and Brandie at The Home Office Organizer... who will one day rule the blogging world.

Sounds like such a great time, sure wish I could have been there. There aren't very many of us Canadian Organizer bloggers. Can't wait to check out some of those links.

Hi Laura! Thanks for stopping by! I am 300+ blog posts behind and am trying to still catch up. Doesn't help when you add 10 more blogs to the list.

Hi Megan! Thanks for the mention! Hey, I love that you quoted Willy Wonka (the original, not the creepy new version).

Thanks for stopping by Lorie! I saw about 10 minutes of the other version and "creepy" is an under statement!

Hi, Megan:
Thanks for the shout out! And thanks for asking on my blog if I have an RSS feed. I don't at present but just emailed my web person to see if we can make that happen.
I can totally relate to your post-conference digging-out-from-under sentiments!

How ironic. My 10 year old son just completed his role in his school play "Willy Wonka". He had the role as "Mr. Bucket" (Charlie's dad). We had a blast with this. Everybody was wearing pins and shirts that said "Got Umpa?"
I was invited to partake in the session a Reno but was unable to get there ! I will swing by your blog often however, so... looking forward to sharing ideas!

I appreciate your conference updates! I wasn't able to attend this year, and I was especially bummed about it when John mentioned the business bloggers meeting that I would miss.
You've introduced me to some new blogs that I didn't know about - awesome! Thanks - I'm off to check some of them out right now...
