Seriously Y'all- this woman could change your life! How, you ask?.......
Simplified Pantry is Mystie's front for all things dinner and meal-planning related. Simply Convivial is her blog in which she addresses life, homeschooling, homemaking, and getting organized with her ebook Paperless Home Organization. While this review is for Paperless Home Organization, please check out Mystie's ebooks for Simplified Dinners and Simple Gluten-free and Dairy-free Dinners. You won't be disappointed!
Just so you know, I am one of those people who have lovingly hand crafted a home management binder. With tabs and a pencil pouch and calculator, upon completion- I was positive this thing was going to change my life. Mystie puts it so well in the preface when she compares organization to swimming:
You are either treading water or slowly sinking; progress is getting yourself back to the surface before you drown, not arriving at a destination. However, treading water at least becomes easier the longer you do it. At first it takes concentration and focus and energy simply to stay afloat, but eventually you get into better shape and can breathe evenly again. However, you never get so good at it that you can stop.
Nothing is going to save your life if you leave it on the shelf in the butler's hallway.
Just keeping it real, folks!
Don't get me wrong, I LOVE that binder. I look at it frequently and think that if I just sunk a little time into it to revamp it, then it would turn into the miraculous device it was meant to be. But the truth of it is that going paperless makes much more sense. The hang up? I am NO techno- gadget- programs genius......and I like that about myself. So how does a person like me ever get started?
Mystie blew my socks off with this e-book. Not only does she tell you which 3 programs to use (Gmail, Evernote, and Remember the Milk), but she tells you how to set up accounts with each, download them to your devices, and customize each of them!! Now I'm not gonna lie, my head began to swim as I read about Evernote and building stacks and emptying my email INBOX down to zero (It currently hovers at 3,021!)! But Mystie seriously walks you through step-by-step and I'm beginning to catch on.
This is a whole new process and life change and is going to take some time, but I totally believe the $3.99 is worth the cost of the e-book if for nothing else than merely the "How-To" section for setting up the Evernote account! Do yourselves a favor, skip the Starbucks today and download this e-book and see if you won't be the slightest bit encouraged to wrestle the techno-organizing monster!
