Workshops Offering workshops for Businesses, Groups, and Residential Let's Get Organized! Our most popular workshop! This is a 6-week class that meets for one-hour per week. Each week we will focus on a different element to help you organize your world: mind clutter, time clutter, space clutter, zone planning, paper clutter, and bringing it ALL together. These classes are packed full of instructional information and provide you with an action plan, as well as accountability! Business and Groups: We conduct in-depth workshops for groups, businesses and organizations. These workshops offer effective methods to streamline work, practical techniques to become more efficient, easy organizing systems for managing paper and information, and simple solutions to manage time and organize productive work routines. Group Workshops vary in cost and time. In-Home: We are now offering private, in-home organizing workshops for you and your family, neighbors, co-workers or friends. Speaker/instructor, Daphne Prance, can help you Bring Balance to today's chaotic life. These workshops highlight the organizing topic chosen by the hostess and will last approximately one-hour, followed by a brief demonstration of organizing products available for each topic.

Make time to learn!

The topics covered by workshops are diverse, as are the workshop's formats. We encourage proposals for innovative, well focused workshops on a broad spectrum of object topics. Other criteria are permitted as long as they are clearly specified in the workshop's call for participation.

Some Workshop topics include:

• Time Management 101 – An overview of both paper systems (calendars/day-planners), and electronic systems (PDA's). Focus of class is how to create an efficient schedule; one that will Bring Balance to your life!
• Calming the Paper-Storm! - Simple solutions for processing paper, from receiving your mail…throughout the entire process of filing, bill paying, action papers, reading material, etc. You will leave this class knowing what to do with every sheet of paper you touch!
• Let's File It! - This is a hands-on workshop where each participant sets up their complete set of files. Supplies are provided, at an additional cost. (“Calming the Paper-Storm!” is a recommended prerequisite.)
• Create a ‘Mission Control Center'- How to organize one location for sorting mail, paying bills, keeping to-do list, shopping list, schedules, phone numbers, basic mailing supplies, etc.
• Organizing 101 – This workshop teaches the fundamentals of organizing any space: sorting, purging, categorizing, and assigning a home. With these skills, you can organize ANY space, from your car, to your entire office…even your home!
• Make your space work for you – In learning to plan your space, we will focus on how and why creating specific ‘zones' promotes efficiency. ‘Zones' are created when we focus first on function, then designate a specific ‘home' for the supplies needed to complete each zone.
• Kids rooms – Organizing techniques for various ages, with emphasis on how to deal with the “abundance of toys” without promoting “over-stimulation”… which often results in boredom and disinterest in toys.
• Closet organization – We will cover the basics of organizing your clothes and how to get more space in your closet; as well as resolutions for “emotional-attachment” (which creates over-crowding). The average person wears 20% of their clothes 80% of the time.
• Traditions, Values and Memories - This workshop teaches simple techniques to help you teach family values and create new traditions and meaningful memories, as well as tips on organizing photos/keepsakes.

“The practicality of the methods taught in Calming the Paper Storm! has completely changed the way I handle paper. I know what to do with any paper I touch now, so I no longer shuffle them from stack-to-stack. Thank you again for bringing your organizational tips, knowledge, and application to University Baptist Church .” Carmella C. Mongiardo, Admin. Mgr, Clear Lake , TX
