Boulder, CO -- (SBWIRE) -- 01/20/2006 -- On January first people everywhere enthusiastically put pen to paper to record the resolutions that they really plan to keep this year. Most lists will include at least one of the following intentions: “get organized,” “do better in school,” “get ahead at work,” and “get my finances in order.” This year, why not give your readers the invaluable gift of helping them stick to their resolutions by providing them with expert advice from leaders in the organizing industry.
In honor of Get Organized Month (January), we have assembled a group of professional organizers who are recognized as experts in their fields. They are each published authors and in-demand speakers. In separate interviews or in panel format they will provide your readers with practical and proven tools and tips for organizing students, finances, computers, work and disaster plans. The GO TEAM will offer insight into the changes that have taken place in each of these areas over the past few years, and explore the value of creating systems and strategies that work for individuals and families in various settings. Each expert will be happy to answer readers’ questions and to respond to the specific concerns of your audience.
