» Organization</h1> <article> <h1>Kick-start Your New Years Resolution</h1> <p>Ali — Tue, 09 Dec 2008 21:45:48 +0000</p> <p>Alright guys, take out your lists. You know, the one from last year sitting under that pile of books you meant to read. Yeah, the one with dust all over it. OK, now uncrumple it and read with me:</p> <blockquote><p>New Years Resolution</p> <ol> <li>Get organized</li> <li>Get in shape</li> <li>Read more books</li> <li>Spend more time with family and friends</li> <li>Save money</li> </ol> </blockquote> <p>Yup, that’s the one! It’s time to revisit your unfinished business and give it another shot. Let’s start with number one, “Get Organized”.</p> <p>David Allen is the author of a very popular book called Getting Things Done. Many say he has mastered the art of prioritizing. The GTD method is said to “transform personal overwhelm and overload into an integrated system of stress-free productivity.” So, before Jan 01 hits, get a head start on your resolutions and start reading <a href="http://davidco.com/store/product.php?productid=16182" target="_blank">Getting Things Done</a>. You’ll be chipping away at resolution number three too!</p> <p>If you want a taste of what GTD all about, watch this video. It’s a bit lengthy, so don’t watch it at work (kind of defeats the purpose of the whole GTD concept).</p> <p><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Qo7vUdKTlhk&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param></object></p> <p>Post from: <a href="http://www.inherwords.com">in her words</a><br/><br/><a href="http://www.inherwords.com/200812/kick-start-your-new-years-resolution/">Kick-start Your New Years Resolution</a></p> <div style="float: left; margin-right: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px;"><a href="http://twitter.com/share" class="twitter-share-button" data-text="Kick-start Your New Years Resolution" data-via="AliTaylorDesign" data-url="http://www.inherwords.com/200812/kick-start-your-new-years-resolution/" data-count="horizontal" data-via="AliTaylorDesign" >Tweet</a><script type="text/javascript" src="http://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js"></script></div> </article> <article> <h1>My deals of the week</h1> <p>Ali — Tue, 30 Sep 2008 17:01:30 +0000</p> <p>I know it’s been forever since I’ve posted… seems to be an ongoing trend (my apologies). But I couldn’t help but share my great purchases this week!</p> <a href='http://www.inherwords.com/200809/my-deals-of-the-week/905700_general/' title='1'></a> <a href='http://www.inherwords.com/200809/my-deals-of-the-week/41odiovmjgl_aa280_/' title='2'></a> <a href='http://www.inherwords.com/200809/my-deals-of-the-week/attachment/1/' title='3'></a> <p>1. I’ve decided to get my finances in order before tax season sneaks up on me (and mine sneaks up quick because I have to file quarterly). <a href="http://www.seejanework.com/ProductCart/pc/viewPrd.asp?idcategory=36&idproduct=1559" target="_blank">This financial organizer</a> from See Jane Work will help me do it (while being oh so cute at the same time). Did I mention that is was 50% off of $20? Can’t beat that.</p> <p>2. I’ve been in need of some rain boots for quite some time now, and every time I make a trip up to the mountains I’m reminded that I need mud boots too. I figured for $17.99 (originally $59.95), <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Sperry-Top-Sider-Womens-Pelican-Herringbone/dp/B000FZXKZ2/ref=pd_bbs_3?ie=UTF8&s=shoes&qid=1222793460&sr=8-3" target="_blank">these Sperry Topsider rain boots</a> would do the trick. The red is so classic too, and they’re very comfortable.</p> <p>3. Finally, it’s football season, and there’s no better time to shop for some Auburn orange and blue clothing! While browsing on <a href="http://www.hautelook.com/events" target="_blank">HauteLook.com</a> I came across this Single Dress orange and blue top for $83.00 (originally $150, I believe). I couldn’t pass it up, so it is now the newest addition to my Auburn wardrobe.</p> <p>Post from: <a href="http://www.inherwords.com">in her words</a><br/><br/><a href="http://www.inherwords.com/200809/my-deals-of-the-week/">My deals of the week</a></p> <div style="float: left; margin-right: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px;"><a href="http://twitter.com/share" class="twitter-share-button" data-text="My deals of the week" data-via="AliTaylorDesign" data-url="http://www.inherwords.com/200809/my-deals-of-the-week/" data-count="horizontal" data-via="AliTaylorDesign" >Tweet</a><script type="text/javascript" src="http://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js"></script></div> </article> <article> <h1>Eight Days a Week</h1> <p>Ali — Sat, 03 May 2008 05:36:36 +0000</p> <p><a href="http://www.inherwords.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/130250-pr_detail-2.jpg"></a>If you know anything about me, you know I love to be organized. Ok, you may call me a little OCD, but we can blame my father’s anal-retentive genes on that. All in all, I’m happiest when everything is in it’s place and my daily plans are set; but it takes more than a good memory to map out your daily activities. With the help of <a href="http://www.organize.com/8daysjournal.html" target="_blank">this</a> unique spiral-notebook, you can record your weekly activities, appointments and meetings as well as your “to do <em>someday</em>” activities. It’s almost as if you’ve added an extra day to the week!</p> <p>Post from: <a href="http://www.inherwords.com">in her words</a><br/><br/><a href="http://www.inherwords.com/200805/8-days-a-week/">Eight Days a Week</a></p> <div style="float: left; margin-right: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px;"><a href="http://twitter.com/share" class="twitter-share-button" data-text="Eight Days a Week" data-via="AliTaylorDesign" data-url="http://www.inherwords.com/200805/8-days-a-week/" data-count="horizontal" data-via="AliTaylorDesign" >Tweet</a><script type="text/javascript" src="http://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js"></script></div> </article> </main></body></html>
