Make use of The Ultimate Organizer\u2019s relevant lists and  templates.  You\u2019ll be surprised at how fast you can get things done.  Put all the important vital information for yourself, your partner, your  children, your aging parents, your pets, and home in the organizer.   <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<table border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" width=\"400\" align=\"center\" bgcolor=\"#ffffff\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<p>You never know what problems life throws you in today\u2019s rollercoaster  world, and you\u2019ll be ready &#8211; whether it\u2019s an earthquake, taking care of an  aging parent, or packing for a business trip.<\/p>\n<p><strong class=\"blush\">B: How should we  organize our priorities?<\/strong> Every woman has to make her own decisions and priorities, but for us  family and friends are first, work is second. And no one is more  important than our dogs, but please don\u2019t tell our husbands we said  that. Make your passions a priority, clear the decks as fast as  possible, and enjoy LIVING your life, not just administering it. Hello?!  So many of us give up what we want to do for what we should do. Here\u2019s  our advice: <span class=\"blush\"><strong>Put yourself on top of your own to do list. If  you?re unhappy, no one&#8217;s happy<\/strong><\/span><strong>.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong class=\"blush\">B: If  you\u2019re throwing a party what are your first steps for getting it  planned?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>    Throwing a party can have many  moving parts, and you want to remember to do them all. That\u2019s why we  created dinner\/party checklists \u2014to make sure you don\u2019t forget and serve  hamburgers to a vegan.  Need rentals? Bartender? Flowers?  Whatever.  All you have to think about is who to invite, what\u2019s the occasion and  where, the menu and bar and follow our lists for the rest.  We\u2019ve even  made suggestions for sample invites so you don\u2019t forget to include  essential information, like the address and the time. Need instructions  as to how to get to the party? Just use our form.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<table border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" width=\"400\" align=\"center\" bgcolor=\"#ffffff\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td valign=\"top\"><strong class=\"blush\">B: How can you stay motivated when your  to-do list is overwhelming? <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>When you feel organized and everything is one place, you tend  to not have that \u2018heart beating fast in the middle of the night\u2019 thing.  You know, you wake up and all the things you forgot to do and have to do  and should do all come racing like a freight train through your head.  We believe in trying to get out ahead of our to-do lists. Once a week,  figure out the major tasks ahead of you.<\/td>\n<td valign=\"top\"><a href=\"..\/..\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"dtse-img dtse-post-438\" title=\"Get  The Ultimate Organizer at Amazon Today!\" src=\"..\/..\/press\/blush\/Image2.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"Get Organized With The  Ultimate Organizer\" width=\"200\" height=\"261\" \/><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<table border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" width=\"400\" align=\"center\" bgcolor=\"#ffffff\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td align=\"center\">\n<p align=\"left\"><strong class=\"blush\">B: What\u2019s your  best piece of advice for finding balance?<\/strong> Try not to let the pressures of work drive out the things you enjoy.

Above all, don\u2019t allow yourself to be  overwhelmed by all that life heaps on. Our plates runneth over, and it\u2019s  not always easy to cope. You\u2019re watching TV about Katrina or the  earthquake in Haiti, and you wonder if you shouldn\u2019t prepare for the  worst. Follow the lists in the organizer; it won\u2019t take long and you\u2019ll  have peace of mind. As Nadine\u2019s grandmother advised, <span class=\"blush\">\u201c<strong>Ask for  something you need because the worst a person can say is no.<\/strong>\u201d<\/span> In other words, don\u2019t be afraid to say you need help.
