A former professional organizer, I now eliminate stress for my clients by hosting, monitoring, and maintaining their WordPress sites so they don't have to worry about security, downtime or performance issues. When I'm away from my desk, I enjoy reading, photography, watching movies, and cooking.

    Wow, that’s a large list of Professional Organizers talking about lists. =) I expected as much. Lol, I can’t wait to read them. We can easily make lists, but the harder part is to check the tasks off the list. Thanks for including me on this list, Janet.

      I was pretty sure this would be a popular topic. Thanks for your tips!

    Clearly we all love lists! I am looking forward to visiting all of these posts and getting more tips from this terrific group. Thanks for including me, Janet!

      I have some catching up to do too! I always read the submissions as they come in, but for some reason I didn’t receive email notifications of the last few. Happy reading to us!

    I am not surprised there were so many of us who had blogged about lists. I love lists, but they have to be productive and manageable. Thank you for including me in the list, i look forward to read some of my fellow organizers.

      I loved that even though there were a lot of entries, there was so much variety in what people blogged about and what they had to say about lists.

    Awesome list of lists! As a total list-lover, I can’t wait to dive in and check these out. Thank you so much, Janet for the opportunity to share one of my posts.

    Wishing you and your loved ones a wonderful, joy-filled holiday season and New Year!

      This was a fun one – so many different ways of looking at lists, including your post about putting the to-do list aside once in a while! Happy holidays to you too, Linda!

        A fun and VERY popular one indeed! As organizers we are Oh, So Addicted to lists…be it electronic, paper, non-traditional options. And as you said, as much as I love lists, sometimes they just need to be put on hold in order to embrace a serendipitous moment that presents itself.

    This is a great collection of list making advice. Thank you for including mine.

      Nancy, you were first in for so many months in a row that I almost thought you weren’t going to make it this time, so I’m glad that you did!

    I will stick very strictly to most of the tips. I think they are very helpful.
