Last Fall we had the opportunity to help organize the kitchen and pantry of the Zero Energy House in Bellevue. The overall project was featured earlier this year on the cover of and inside of 425 Magazine.
If you didn’t get a copy, we’ve got the link to the article here. We’re proud to be listed as a “resource” for making the vision for the house a reality for owners Donna and Riley Shirey.
We hope the Shirey’s continue to enjoy their organized pantry and kitchen and applaud them for their commitment both to simplicity and to the environment.
Here’s to organized and sustainable living!

I’m so pleased to announce that on Wednesday, April 22nd at 4:42 am Simply Placed employee Lacey welcomed daughter, Payton Joy Pohlman into the world. She weighed 7lbs 15 ounces and is 19 1/4 inches long. She & Mom are doing great!
As the daughter of a stellar professional organizer, it came as no surprise to us that Payton was punctual, arriving on her due date! We’re sure she’ll be a great manager of time as she grows up and we look forward to seeing what’s in store for our future organizer.
Lacey worked with Simply Placed clients right up to the day before she went into labor. She looks forward to returning to work after a little time off to enjoy her newborn.
Congratulations to Lacey and her husband Chad! Welcome to the world and to the Simply Placed family Payton!

We were interviewed recently by Randy Woods, writer for the Seattle Times NWJobs site and blog “Hire Ground“. Randy’s post summarizes some of the tips I shared with him on how Job Seekers could use organization and productivity strategies to reach their goal (finding a new job). Three primary strategies covered in the post are Organizing your Work Space, Establishing and Action System and Maintaining a Daily Schedule. While these strategies can give a competetive edge to those in a job search, they apply to all of us.
If you are in career transition, or know someone who is, or are striving to reach another goal this month, make sure to read Randy’s post.
What are your best strategies for reaching goals? Stay tuned for more of ours as we finish out another year and prepare to start the next.

- Ready to go “on air” at KKNW 1150 AM
Yesterday I had the opportunity to be a guest on Sue Lundquist’s “I’m Thankful” radio program on KKNW 1150 AM radio in Seattle (also heard in other markets across the nation as well as internationally!). It was a ball.
We chatted about how organization can help you tame family chaos and ease stress year-round, but especially now as we enter the busy holiday season. I shared the process we use with clients when we’re organizing any space, and also talked about some time management and productivity techniques.
Sue was a delightful host. She’s positive, energetic, thoughtful and fun. She and producer Benny made me feel right at home and made the experience very enjoyable.
If you missed the show live yesterday, there is a recording up on the
KKNW website (just select 12-1-09 recording).
You can catch Sue’s show every Tuesday and Thursday at 9:00am PT in the Seattle area on AM station 1150 (KKNW) or anywhere you may be via
www.imthankful.com. She’s got a lot of gifts to share and a knack for finding great guests who bring their own expertise and value to her show and to her listeners.
Enjoy the show and feel free to let me know what you think!
