About the Book Organize for a Fresh Start

Your life is in transition now.

While change is difficult, that place in between the old chapter and the new chapter – the before and the after – is even more difficult. It’s a place of limbo where you’re not through the changes and you’re not quite into your new chapter.

Reorganizing our stuff, our surroundings and our time – this is so helpful in dealing with life’s big changes.
It’s not simply a “nice to have” – it’s an essential practice. Remember, regroup, reorganize.

The benefits of reorganization during and after major life changes are numerous.

• Control, which, in the context of a life transition, is at a shortage, or may not even exist at some points.
• Cathartic, helping you process emotions.
• Change agent: Use your energy on the transition and moving forward, not on managing disorganization.
• Clarity: Focus on what’s really important as you move into the transition, while you’re in it, as you move out of it and into your next chapter of life.
