9:07 AM Posted by Jennifer Ford Berry
Calling all realtors and professionals!
Would you like to give your clients a "Thank You for Your Business" gift this season?
Do you want an inexpensive gift idea that is still a unique way for them to remember you?
Consider this: give the gift of Organization!
Who doesn't long for a little (or a lot) more organization in their life?
I am offering a special promotion to all realtors/professionals this season:
Discounted signed copies of Organize Now: a week-by-week guide to simplify your space and your life. Not only will this book help keep your clients' property and life neat, organized and clutter free, it will be a gift that they will hang on to. (Unlike that annual poinsettia you drop off that will die in a few weeks)! The longer they hang on to it, the longer YOUR name will stay on their minds in 2010! And the best part is I will ship them for you! One less thing for you to have to worry about this year.
1. Send me an email of all the clients you would like to give this gift to. Be sure to include your clients’ names and shipping addresses. (100% confidential).
2. You can also include a personal message on your email to me. I will be sure to include this in the front cover of each book. If you would like a business card included, please let me know and I will give you the address to mail them to.
3. An invoice will be sent to you via pay pal. Price is $15.00 per book (which includes the shipping and packaging fees!) Normally the book itself is $15 so this a 50% discount for you! Note: MINIMUM ORDER TO RECEIVE THIS OFFER IS 5 BOOKS.
4. We ship for you! You won't even have to leave your office. We will ship each client's book DIRECTLY to them.
5. All copies will be personally signed by me: Jennifer Ford Berry-author. Check this "To Do" off your holiday list-it's this simple!
6. A confirmation email will be sent to you when the books are shipped to your clients.
Happy Veteran's

Start Organizing for the Holidays
7:19 PM Posted by Jennifer Ford Berry
Well, as I mentioned last year...I LOVE this time of year! Why? Because Christmas is not far away! I love the tradition, the hope, the love and the time spent with family and friends that this season brings. Since it IS my favorite time of year I like to enjoy it as much as possible. The only way to do this is to be organized so that my long list of things to do doesn't rob me of the fun! The two things I have in my favor for this time of year are: I am not a procrastinator and I love a plan. Procrastination can really stress out your holidays. It seems like I hear A LOT of people complaining about the holidays instead of treasuring them because they have "so much to do"... I look at it like this: the more I can get done early, the more free time I will have closer to Christmas to enjoy the things that matter, like spending time with family and friends and forming traditions for my children. Unfortunately, no matter how hard I try there are always those last minute "to dos" that slip in but at least the majority of my work is done.
Shop Early!
I am THAT person. The person that shops for Christmas presents year round. If I see something someone on my list would like in July I buy it. Why wait? I drive my one sister nuts because I am asking what her family wants for Christmas in August! (she does not like plans) My other sister is actually starting to follow in my foot steps and start early too but August is still pushing it a bit for her. Oh well, I love the feeling I get when I open the closet in November and see that I have half of my shopping done! Make sure you carry a list with you so that you will know what you already purchased.
Do it Differently!
I stopped pressuring myself along time ago to get the "perfect" family Christmas photo for the holiday card. Instead I form a collage of some of my favorite photos from throughout the year.
Plan Ahead
Don't wait until the last minute. Decide now! How, When and Where you are going to spend your holidays and let your family know. That way you won't feel pressured to spend it the way someone else wants you to at the last minute.
Same goes for meals. If you are hosting a holiday celebration at your home plan now for meals and groceries.
Wrap A Little At A Time
Again, if you shop early you can start wrapping early. I have a friend that gets completely exhausted every year trying to wrap all her presents on Christmas Eve! Every year I say "Why do you do this to yourself"? Wrap 5-10 presents a day until you're done.
The Yankees Win the World Series!!

Well, if I haven't mentioned it before everyone in my family are HUGE and I mean HUGE Yankee fans!!! So it is only appropriate that I mention that we are very excited and SO PROUD this morning! What a great game and a great year. Although I personally wish they would have left the old stadium, it is pretty amazing that we can say The Yankees won the World Series the first year the new stadium opened. Great job guys!! Check out the memorable clips below. I love the second one because it is raw footage :)

Tuesday Tips
10:22 AM Posted by Jennifer Ford Berry
I have decided to declare every Tuesday: "Tuesday Tips". This means that every Tuesday I will post some kind of tip. The tips will mostly have to do with: organizing, improving your life, family, writing or resources.
Today's Tuesday Tip:
T This is the time of year when local food pantries start collecting. This means this is a fantastic reason to clean out those cupboards. Not only will you be doing a good deed, your cupboard will be clutter free when the relatives come over during the holidays!
P.S. Do you have a question about organizing or writing a book? Feel free to post your questions and I will be happy to repond!
Paper Clutter
1:43 PM Posted by Jennifer Ford Berry
As my client and I were organizing her piles of paper clutter today we came across an interesting article that she had saved. While I was reading it tonight I realized that the author, Vicky Mlyniec, gives a lot of great points that I really agree with. Let me share a little of her outlook on paper clutter along with my own.
- Apply new strategies to incoming papers. Once you get into the rhythm of a new system you can start applying this to all the old papers in your home or office.
- I love personally love this one: You DON'T need your family on board. Vicky says if your hubby or children leave their papers laying around you should toss them into attractive baskets designated by each individual. I would take this one step further and say if their basket overflows they have 1 week to go through the paper or the next place you will toss them is in the garbage can!
- Give yourself two to three months of dedication to your new system before deciding if it works for you. It takes this long to form new habits.
- Do not put off sorting your mail. It needs to be done daily! Keep a recycling bin close by.
Happy Halloween!

Woo Hoo!!! Hurray!! Holy Crap!!

I found out yesterday from my publisher that Organize Now has sold over 112,000 copies to date!!!!! This is both amazing and exciting because it has not even been on the shelves for a year!! This is absolutely a dream come true for me and I am SOOOO thankful. It really proves that dreams do come true if you work hard enough! I am thankful to Lowes for recently picking the book up and selling it in their stores, as well as, Barnes and Noble, Borders, Amazon, Books A Million and every independent but important book store.
Also, thank you to each and every one of YOU reading this that have contributed to this goal of mine in some way. Words cannot express how thankful I am to those of you that bought a copy of Organize Now!
