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.

Years ago, I read an article online titled “The Stop Doing List.” It was so insightful that I re-read it a few times, and was disappointed when it was taken down.

Many of us pay a lot of attention to when and how we should do things for optimum productivity. Those things are important, of course, but it’s easy to lose sight of the simple fact that we don’t have to do everything. 

I figured if this concept is helpful to me, it will also be helpful to others, so I invited my readers to share their blog posts about The Stop Doing List in this month’s Productivity & Organizing Blog Carnival.

If you offer a product or service that would interest professional organizers, productivity consultants, or their clients, maximize your exposure by sponsoring an upcoming edition of the Productivity & Organizing Blog Carnival.

As you read the posts listed below, please connect with the bloggers on social media, leave comments, and share your favorites with your own network.

    Thanks for including my post in this roundup. So many great thoughts. Some of these I’ve read, but others are new to me. I’m looking forward to tooling around and learning more about what to NOT be doing.

    Great topic this month!

      I have to say, reading all the posts has me re-evaluating some of my own activities!

      That’s what I love most about the Blog Carnival – everyone has their own way of looking at and presenting things!
