The Life Organizer: A Woman's Guide to a Mindful Year

Meeting with clients, hauling the kids to soccer, supervising the kitchen remodel -- women today juggle so many commitments that many don't find time to focus on their own dreams. First created for her own needs, Jennifer Louden's Life Organizer is a datebook for the soul that helps women create the life they want. Divided into four sections, the first part defines "inner organizing" and explains how to use the book. Next, Louden defines "time monsters," "minimum requirements," "shadow comforts," and other pertinent concepts. Fifty-two two-page spreads, one for each week of the year, include prompts for goal-setting and soul exploration. Stories accompanying each section show how other women have used the organizer to make a time for inner play and for finding the soul's purpose. Most of all, the book helps women hold themselves gently accountable, giving them ideas to explore their inner needs and a place to record the progress they've made.
