Folks often comment on my productivity each day because I can cram in so many items, complete them and even take a nap.

First of all, I work from home as a teacher and writer. This affords me the luxury of time that so many working outside the home do not have. Second, I was blessed with a mother who instilled in me the fine art and skill of being organized. Mother has always been terribly organized and my brother, now a school superintendent, and I learned from the very best.

I also inherited Mother’s low dose of required sleep. As long as I can remember she never needed more than 4-5 hours of sleep each night. Having this same sleep pattern has afforded me additional time to complete tasks.

But being organized has always been the key.

Structure!

Thank you for teaching me how to be organized, Mother!

(And being organized has been reinforced by my dear friends and role models, Jeff Carter & Rita Bomholt, who make me appear to be in slow motion!)
