Since this is Stress Awareness Month, I thought I’d tap into my great network of professional organizers and ask them to share what they know about the connection between stress and disorganization. With so many being away at the NAPO Conference last week, I was a bit concerned that I might not get many submissions to this month’s Blog Carnival, but I’m thrilled with the responses, and hope you will be too.

Here are this month’s posts:

Paul H. Burton – Where Stress and Disorganization Collide

Janine Adams – Standards of clutter

Linda Samuels – Family, Friends, Nature & Clutter

Ellen Delap – Distress and Disorganization

Ramona Creel – Getting Organized To Reduce Stress

Janet Baker – Paper Tiger Filing System in the Office Can Prevent Melt Downs and Disasters

Audrey Cupo – Improve Your Memory

There’s a wealth of wisdom here, so be sure to set aside some time to read all the posts, leave some comments, and get to know the bloggers! You’re sure to pick up some great advice, either for yourself or for your clients.

We are now accepting submissions for next month’s Professional Organizers Blog Carnival, when our topic will be Moving. The deadline is Monday, May 9.
