My new-ish friend Jennifer Hofmann (who bowled me over with awesomeness two minutes after we met back in March) is pretty unbelievably great.
For one thing, I’m in love with her business, Inspired Home Office, which is one of those “hi, I’m a real, live human being”-style businesses (I approve!).
[You now have Betty Boop’s “Be Human” song stuck in your head again, right?]
Also, she totally thinks like me when it comes to self-work (i.e. that it works better when you do it mindfully and without beating yourself up with bunch of guilt).
AND — even though she’s an organizer-ey person which is generally something I associate with deadly boringness — she actually approves of my piles of papers. Of yours too. She thinks it’s a sign that we’re creative. Oh, that wonderful woman!
Not that she doesn’t have cool ways to shrink those piles, because she does. It’s just that her way of doing things is blissfully unconventional and refreshing.
This very great thing I need to tell you about: it is so very great.
All this to say that this Wednesday Jen is doing this very cool thing that I completely love.
She calls it Office Spa Day and the idea is you spend two hours a. giving your home office some serious TLC, and b. getting guidance on how to do that without going mental.
I did it a couple months ago and it rocked.
Even though I was sure the thing I was personally dealing with was way too big to do anything about in two hours. And even though I wasn’t sure I’d even be able to carve out two whole hours to begin with.
Also, it’s cool to be an emotional wreck and bring all your stucknesses. Jen can handle it, and she’ll make you feel right at home.
So: next one is this Wednesday, August 6th, at 10:00 am PST.
It’s $46 to take part in it and I have to say, based on my own experience and results: completely reasonable. She could double it and I’d still do it.
So, yeah. I’ll be there. And if it sounds like something you might be needing too, take a look at Jen’s awesome, awesome Home Business Spa Day … and maybe I’ll see you there too.
And no, I’m not getting anything from Jen for sending you her way.
Though on second thought I bet she’ll give me an extra-big hug next time I see her. Totally worth it!

Wow! What an incredibly glowing testimonial. I’m blushing and tickled.
It’s true that most people think organizing is a matter of (lacking) willpower. Which is why we all hate it so much – it feels awful.
But it isn’t! I throw creativity, compassion, and fun into the mix. And why the heck not? At the end of the day, you’re still organized and you get there with way less pain and frustration and self-loathing.
Whew!
Thanks a ton for the mention, Havi. Can’t wait to “see” you on Wednesday at the Office Spa Day!
