Ask an Organizer
Juli Shulem is an efficiency expert and coach. "Ask an Organizer," her column in the Santa Barbara Independent, offers tips, ideas, and solutions for people struggling with any issues related to organizing, time management, efficiency, system creation, paper management, etc. "With 28 years in this field, I have heard and seen just about everything," Shulem notes. "I create solutions that help curtail overwhelm and disorder both in people's physical environments and in their minds," Shulem says. "Living with constant stress is unhealthy and counterproductive. I can help you determine and overcome the blocks that are keeping you from moving forward and achieve the success you want, even if that just means gaining peace of mind."
