Philadelphia Magazine has an annual issue recognizing excellence among local entities. This year Organizers Inc., the parent company of the Productivity Café is honored as The Best Of. Thank you to those who nominated me and those who put us at the top of the charts. Read about us on page 174.
The New York Times Fashion & Style section mentioned some of the advice from ProductivityCafe.com today. Read the article here: New York Time Article on Organizing. We welcome writer Michelle Slatalla and invite you to read regularly via rss feed or email delivery. The article Ms. Slatalla mentions is on keyboard shortcuts. That article can be found here: NYT Referenced Article @ ProductivityCafe.com.
Hope you’re having a Playful & rejuvenating Memorial Day.
Today I was launched as a guest writer for lifehack.org – a blog about lifehacks. The phrase describes any hacks (shortcuts), tips and tricks that get things done quickly by automating, increase productivity and organizing. Right up my – and your – alley! 
You can read the article here: Productivity & Organizing Myth #1 – Born Organized . In fact, I’m planning on posting these articles on the Productivity Cafe, too. What do you think, should I publish them here first or after they appear at lifehack.org?
Having just read The World is Flat this community of contributors smacks of the new economy. Leon Ho is located in Australia and puts lifehack.org together from there. The writers are around the globe. The time from submission to publishing around the world is instantaneous. Traveling to more than 47 countries on every continent except Antarctica myself I spent more hours in airplanes than I care to count.

For those in the Philadelphia viewing area you can see the Productivity Cafe’s S
usan Sabo organize the morning news anchors’ cubicles by tuning to 6abc (WPVI 6abc – Philadelphia) at 6:50 on Tuesday November 28 (the before story) and Wednesday November 29 (the after story). We filmed the before shots in early November then did the work and finished filming on Monday, 11/20. While we didn’t have to dig through mountains of papers, there is a great transition in the look and functionality of the desks. We added some useful new furniture and desk accessories.
It was fun being in the newsroom as Tamala Edwards’ and Matt O’Donnell’s neighbors reacted with ooohs and aaaahs. 
If you can’t watch it in person, set your recorder to start at 6 just in case things get moved around. If they post the pieces on the web we’ll put the link to the video on the Productivity Cafe.
Thanks for all your support!
In the Business Section, section E, of today’s Philadelphia Inquirer you can find the follow-up article to a popular series written in the spring by Jane Von Bergen. These articles can also be found on Philly.com – the companion to the Inquirer although the telling photos are missing. The client I helped can be read about at: Jamie Joffe & Susan Sabo article. Jane’s current article is at: Past the Mess by JVB.
Best to you this holiday season!
