Kimberly lives in the Memphis, TN area, is blissfully married and has three awesome kids.

I knew in 1989 when my first child Zach was born that life had seriously changed from how I had known it. My new "job" was to be a great parent. With a successful full time "corporate" job, a new baby and a home to manage things were getting a bit more complicated. When Zach was 3 years old we were expecting our second bundle of joy. I made the decision then that that kind of lifestyle was not the right fit for us so I took the plunge to be a stay home mom. This was certainly the right thing for me to do for my family but it was also brought about a new set of challenges. I really missed being able to use my professional skills. It also required some changes in our budgeting as well. After a couple of years of being home I joined a company that allowed me to create my own schedule, use my business skills and contribute to the family budget while working from home. Precious bundle number 3 was on his way by this time too.

I love my family and I really enjoyed my work. It didn't take long to realize though that managing all of these roles, plus the new onset of computers and e-mail was going to take some serious organizational effort. "If you fail to plan you are planning to fail." I needed a system! What I found out and you will too, is that being organized makes it ALL easier! Getting organized gives you more time by eliminating all of the time wasters and clutter that is robbing us of peace of mind. When you decide to de-clutter your time, mind and spaces and use strategy for planning your days, it' amazing how much you can do. I was asked then as I am asked now, how in the world do you do all that you do? A very large part of the reason is that I learned how to get organized.

With a terrific marriage, 3 great kids (all teenagers now by the way!), a very successful business, an orderly and welcoming home and a fun social /volunteer calendar I have the life that I consider quite productive. It's a productive life, not just a busy life.

I asked my kids a long time ago what they would say if they were asked "does your mom work?". They answered; "I have a stay home mom that sometimes works". That's when I knew I was not only doing things right but I was doing the right things. I started my speaking and training services to help others enjoy a higher quality life. Don't underestimate the power of organization.

There is never enough time to do everything, but there is always enough time
to do the most important thing.
