Go Quote :"If you have a goal in life that takes a lot of energy, that requires a lot of work, that incurs
a great deal of interest and that is a challenge to you, you will always look forward to waking up to
see what the new day brings." - Susan Polis Schultz

Go Guru:Aby Garver- “Clutter Free Easter Baskets”

GO Tip: With tax season approaching, most of us will spend some time digging through our filing
cabinets. Most likely, there will be all sorts of documents from past tax years – medical bills, W2s,
interest statements, and, frankly, some things that we’re not sure why we’re keeping. This tax season,
go through your old documents and throw out expired statements. Most documents can be shredded
after three years, or six years if you run your own business. Check with your tax professional.

Go Quote Email:Too many of us are hung up on what we don’t have, can’t have, or won’t ever have.
We spend too much energy being down, when we could that same energy- if not less- doing, or at
least trying to do, some of the things we really want to do.” – Terry McMillan

Guru Post- Carmen Coker- How to Stop Procrastinating by Carmen Coker

GO Tip: Springtime is here, and with it comes a renewed focus on personal fitness. As the coats come
off, our choices during the candy holidays from Halloween through Valentine’s Day become apparent. If
you’re looking to improve your fitness, renew your resolve to exercise and stick to it. Whether it’s
getting out the door early and spending some time at the gym, or going for a morning bike ride, the
important thing is to keep to your schedule as much as possible. For most of us, it took more than one
season to get out of shape – don’t be discouraged if it takes more than one season to get back in.

Quote:We must remember that one determined person can make a significant difference, and that a
small group of determined people can change the course of history. -Sonia Johnson

GO Guru: Guru Post- 3 Ways toMake the Most of Your Time by Josh Zerkel

GO Tip:Over time, the boxes for board games get stepped on, shoved together, and compressed on the
shelf. That’s if the game has a box to begin with – all too often checkers, dominos or poker chips end up
sitting out on the shelf in ugly plastic bags. If your game boxes are disintegrating, try getting new ones,
or put larger pieces in decorative jars. This can help turn your games into a decoration rather than an
eyesore.


Quote:All truly wise thoughts have been thought already, thousands of times; but to truly make them ours,
we must think them over again, honestly, till they take root in our personal experience. -Johann Goethe

Go Guru:Teaching Children to be Organized by Naomi Cook

Tip: After spending the winter cooped up inside, it can be exciting when the weather warms up. For
many people, spring is the time you get to plan your garden. For the best results you’ll want to start
early in the season – if you find seeds you want in a seed catalog, you’ll need to have them shipped
before their planting season. Taking the time a few weeks before planting season to sketch out your
garden plot and take stock of the crops you want to grow will pay dividends come fall.


Quote:"People who are truly effective have the humility and reverence to recognize their own perceptual
limitations and to appreciate the rich resources available through interaction with the hearts and minds of
other human beings."

-Stephen R. Covey

Go Guru: Spring Cleaning by Aby Garvey

Tip: As spring gets going, family schedules start getting busier. There are suddenly sporting events,
school concerts, and other reasons to drive all over town. Before these events get to be too much, and
before your kids blame you for not foreseeing any scheduling conflicts, set up a planning board in a
common area of your house. Then you can help encourage your kids to keep track of their own events.


Quote: “When you’re in your nineties and looking back, it’s not going to be how many awards you’ve
won. It’s really what did you stand for. Did you make a positive difference for people? –Elizabeth Dole

Go Guru:Time-Wasting Habits by Carmen Coker

Tip: Spring is a great time to do the small seasonal things that make a measurable difference around the
house. In the bedroom, you can rotate your mattress and wash your pillows for a fresh, comfortable
night’s sleep. Go through the house and wipe off any screens to get rid of little fingerprints or airborne
cooking oil accumulation. And speaking of cooking, spring is a good time to reorganize your spice rack.
Take everything you own out, throw away expired spices, and put things back with the most used spices
in the front.

Quote:“We must not, in trying to think about how we can make a big difference, ignore the small daily
differences we can make which, over time, add up to big differences that we often cannot foresee.” –
Marian Wright Edelman

Go Guru:Two Strategies for Stemming the Tide of Email by Josh Zerkel

Tip: Dogs and children are very much alike – they both can get bored with long car trips. If you find that
your canine friends start getting antsy in the car, mix it up with a few fun toys, like pull ropes or dog
bones. You can even store them in the car, so that they stay special for your pet and make the ride even
more exciting.

Summer

Quote:Far away in the sunshine are my highest aspirations. I may not reach them, but I can look up and
see the beauty, believe in them and try to follow where they lead. “Louisa May Alcott

Go Guru: Aby Garvey

Tip: After a whole season of graduations and weddings, you might find yourself needing to write thank
you cards. As tempting as it is to shoot off a mass “thanks for the gift” email, sending out thank you
cards expresses your appreciation to a much greater extent.

When writing a thank you card follow these steps:

1. Greet the giver
2. Express your gratitude (Thank you so much for this laptop bag)
3. Discuss how you’ll use the gift (It has a space for my iPad, I’ll have an easier time
carrying everything)
4. Discuss past and future events (Thanks for coming to my graduation. I hope to see you
at the family summer barbecue.)
5. Thank them again (Thanks again!)
6. Regards (Love, Tim)

You’ll also want to make sure the card is the right size, so you’re not tempted to fill in unnecessary
details.


Quote: “Ordinary people believe only in the possible. Extraordinary people visualize not what is
possible or probable, but rather what is impossible. And by visualizing the impossible, they begin to
see it as possible.” –Cherie Carter-Scott

Go Guru:Carmen Coker “Summer Organizing To Dos”

Tip: (Actually a Spring Tip repurposed) With all the focus on physical fitness this summer, don’t overlook
the other aspects of your health. For instance, getting an adequate amount of sleep each night can help
your body regulate itself better and make your day more pleasant. Also, appetite increases the later you

stay awake, making it more tempting to erase the gains from a morning workout. Giving yourself time
for the most important things – like relationships and, yes, sleep – can help your progress in other areas
of your life as well.


Quote:Leaders do not avoid, repress, or deny conflict, but rather see it as an opportunity. Once everyone
has come to see it that way, they can exchange their combative posture for a creative stance, because
they don't feel threatened, they feel challenged. –Warren Bennis

Go Guru:Josh Zerkel “4 Ways to Spend Less Time…”

Tip: If you feel like your work tasks are swirling around inside your skull, there’s a simple solution – take
an actual lunch break. Get up from your desk, grab your lunch, and take it outside to eat in the sunshine.
Taking the time away from the electronic stimulation of your computer can give your brain space to
process what you need to do for the rest of the day. Also, taking the time to eat (and really taste) a good
lunch can help you avoid the office snacking trap.

In the end, keeping your thoughts organized will help you have a better, more productive workday. And
that’s much better than anything you might accomplish when you should have been having lunch.

GO Quote Email for June 4

Quote:"Don't be discouraged by a failure. It can be a positive experience. Failure is, in a sense, the
highway to success, inasmuch as every discovery of what is false leads us to seek earnestly after what is
true, and every fresh experience points out some form of error which we shall afterwards carefully
avoid." -John Keats

Go Guru:7 Tips to Get Organized + Save Time in the Kitchen by Aby Garvey

Tip: Father’s Day: When it comes to selecting a Father’s Day gift, one of the first tests is whether the gift
is practical. That’s why the necktie has such staying power – for generations, everyone knew that Dad
needed a necktie to wear to the office. Now, of course, workplaces have moved beyond the necktie, and
it’s time to update your selection of a Father’s Day gift.

The Grid-It from Cocoon makes a great gift – not only is it useful, but it gives your dad versatile
organization, whether he wants to keep his tools together or transport his video game accessories. It
can be anything your dad makes of it.

Quote:If circumstances had the power to bless or harm, they would bless and harm all men alike, but the
fact that the same circumstances will be alike good and bad to different souls proves that the good or bad
is not in the circumstance, but only in the mind of him that encounters it. – James Allen

Go Guru:Naomi Cook- Organizing a Staycation

Tip: Organize Your Small Spaces

Keeping small spaces orderly can be a real challenge. The trick is to decide what must be there and
establish places for each thing. Creating zones for each item or category makes the space feel much
larger.

If your recipe books and organizers are always in the same place with bookends to keep them from
sprawling across the shelf, or if your spice rack is tucked neatly away in a drawer, you’ll find more open
space to work.

If you have clothes dividers in your laundry room that keep your dirty clothes from spreading across the
floor or desktop organizers to contain your papers, you’ll find that you actually feel more at ease with
your added elbow room.


Quote: “There are countless ways to achieving greatness, but any road to achieving one’s maximum
potential must be built on a bedrock of respect for the individual, a commitment to excellence, and a
rejection of mediocrity.” – Buck Rodgers

Go Guru:Joshua Zerkel- “4 Tips for Easier Emailing”

Tip: Get More Out of Your Travel

With the right preparation, your travel time can be easier to enjoy.You can breeze through airport
security by wearing shoes that are easy to remove and put on. Keep your laptop where it’s easy to
access so you can get it out and replace it quickly. (The right travel bag can make that easier.) And keep
your liquids in small containers under 3 ounces. Anything larger than that will be confiscated. Plus, keep
your passport where you can find it easily. Passport covers can keep your valuable documents and
currency close at hand.

You’ll enjoy your trip more if you can remember it. Keep a travel journalwith you to take note of your
favorite experiences. Travel journals are also a great way to plan your trip in advance. This will keep your
lists in one place so you can more easily remember what you need to pack.

Quote:Clarifying expectations sometimes takes a great deal of courage. It seems easier to act as though
differences don't exist and to hope things will work out than it is to face the differences and work together
to arrive at a mutually agreeable set of expectations. - Stephen R. Covey

Quote:“Kindness is an inner desire that makes us want to do good things even if we do not get anything
in return. It is the joy of our life to do them. When we do good things from this inner desire, there is
kindness in everything we think, say, want and do.” –Emanuel Swedenborg

GO Guru:Tips for Creating a New Filing System by Joshua Zerkel

Tip: Cookbook Organization

Recipes can be a mess sometimes, especially if the non-cook tries to take over when the cook is out of
action and messes up the filing system. Help keep that from happening with Avery
(http://getorganized.franklinplanner.com/partners/avery) binders and file organizers. Simply fill a 1” Binder
(http://store.franklinplanner.com/store/category/prod1200110/US-Avery/Durable-Comfort-Touch-Binder-1%22-by-
Avery?skuId=44296) with all of your recipes – you can punch holes in full-sized paper recipes, and use
Binder Pockets (http://store.franklinplanner.com/store/category/prod1200108/US-Avery/Binder-Pockets-5-pk-by-
Avery-5.5-x-8.5?skuId=44301) marked with Note Tabs
(http://store.franklinplanner.com/store/category/prod2710048/US-Organizer-on-a-Budget/NoteTabs---3-x-
3.5?skuId=36745) to store 3” x 5” recipe cards and divide the binder by dish type (soups, meats, desserts,
etc.).

“Real life isn’t always going to be perfect or go our way, but the recurring acknowledgment of what is
working in our lives can help us not only survive by surmount our difficulties.” – Sarah Ban Breathnach

“One of the most tragic things I know about human nature is that all of us tend to put off living. We are
all dreaming of some magical rose garden over the horizon- instead of enjoying the roses that are
blooming outside out windows today.” – Dale Carnegie

Look up and not down;
Look forward and not back;
Look out and not in;
Lend a Hand.
-Edward Everett Hale

“True hope dwells on the possible, even when life seems to be a plot written by someone who wants to
see how much adversity we can overcome. True hope responds to the world, to real life; it is an active
effort.” –Walter Anderson

“Leadership consists of nothing but taking responsibility for everything that goes wrong and giving your
subordinates credit for everything that goes well.” –Dwight D. Eisenhower

“The real contest is always between what you’ve done and what you’re capable of doing. You measure
yourself against yourself and nobody else.” –Geoffrey Gaberino

“Never measure the height of a mountain, until you have reached the top. Then you will see how low it
was.” –Dag Hammarskjold
