Teleclass Tidbit-Working with Students with ADHD

Teleclass Tidbit

One bit of advice from last night's NSGCD class "Working with Students with ADHD" presented by Sacramento organizer Holly Graff, CPO®, was one I use myself.

The "Time-Timer" clock is a cool little (or big) gadget that lets you visually see how much time you have left for a project. Also available for your computer and now an iPhone app. http://www.timetimer.com/

Lightload towels--Earthquake kits?

I'm in the process of "field-testing" these ultra-light towels and will report on them in the coming weeks. So far, I like them. I think they will be a really great addition to earthquake preparedness kits. They come rolled into tiny "coins" (they have to be hydrated), are soft and best yet...inexpensive! My toughest critic (my 8 year-old daughter) is helping me in the testing!
See them here at Lightload Towels.

(I did receive some free review samples.)

Just for fun...more Organizing Acronyms...

Silly stuff I found on a sticky note that I had written last year.


These are possible acronyms for organizing businesses:

CONCH
(Creative Organizing in Coastal Homes)

OUT!
(Organizing Umpires Tirelessly!)

Sit. STAY.
(Situational Strategies for Terriers and Apsos in Yurts)
(OK I know that one is a real stretch!)

POOCH
(Preferred Occupational Organizers for Cockers and Hounds)

Can you think of some more?
