- Tamara Meyer, Owner & Principal Consultant of Meyer Professional Organizing, LLC, has been applying her organization abilities in every job she has had in the last 20 years.

The variety of positions and diversity of industries gave her the understanding that even though businesses differ, they can share common challenges.
“I have found through my experience that everyone struggles with managing information. In my work in an Internal Auditing Department of a major savings and loan, the problem was paper…and lots of it. In my work with several high tech software development companies in Silicon Valley, the problem was electronic data. In almost every situation, the lack of a clearly defined system for managing the information was a stumbling block that slowed down productivity.” - Tamara Meyer

Client Testimonial
"I’m a full time working mom with a part time consulting business. Between my work life and my personal life I was drowning in mound of paper, a mile long list of tasks, a ton of reminder notes and an insane amount of email. I was living in constant fear of something important falling through the cracks."
"Meyer Organizing guided me to a process for simplifying everything in my world – and not just the things I had to do but also the projects I wanted to do – the things that I enjoy and never seemed to get to. We worked together over a few telephone sessions to create a system that worked for me and my life – customized to me, my life and how I think about things."
"The difference in my life (and of course for my husband!) has been phenomenal. I no longer worry or wonder if a bill has been paid on time or a client document has been sent. Gone are the days of waking up in the middle of the night jotting down yet another note of something I need to remember to do. Everything has its place, I know where it is and most of all I trust myself now because I trust the system Meyer Organizing helped me establish. The peace of mind is incredible and I’ve told every other document, time and task management challenged person I know about them."

Shred-a-Thon 2009, Santa Cruz CA
3 Tons of Paper Shredded and Recycled from Local Community Shred-a-Thon event!
Local residents feel lighter as 6,000 pounds of unwanted paper leaves their homes and offices and is safely destroyed and recycled!
SANTA CRUZ, California – January 28, 2009 – The overcast sky and cool temperatures did not deter the 165 people who brought down over 6,000 pounds of paper to the Shred-a-Thon event that took place last Saturday in front of the OfficeMax store in the Gateway Plaza in Santa Cruz. Santa Cruz Records Management provided secure shredding bins, trucks, and the manpower to handle all of the paper. The locked bins were taken in secure vehicles back to their plant where the paper was shredded. Unlike shredding at home, all of the paper shredded at the plant was recycled.
Visitors to the event received information on getting organized from the professional organizers that were on hand. US Bank representatives told people how to protect themselves from identity theft. Shredding your unwanted paper is one of the best and easiest ways to protect you from identity theft.
The event was sponsored by Santa Cruz Professional Organizers, a coalition of independent businesses providing a variety of organizing services, Santa Cruz Records Management, OfficeMax, and US Bank. The Santa Cruz Professional Organizers who coordinated the event were Sharlene Boucher (www.icre8harmony.com), Jennifer Coveny (www.multipleorganizing.com), Michelle Goldstein, Hristina Le Blanc, Shannon McGinnis (www.organized4success.com), Tamara Meyer (www.meyerorganizing.com), and Terilynn Reese (www.keepittogether.org).
January is recognized by the National Association of Professional Organizers (NAPO) as “Get Organized Month” and events like these are held all over the country. When you hire a professional organizer, you are hiring a skilled professional who will design and teach you how to use systems and processes based on established organizing principles. These organizing solutions are tailored to meet your organizing needs, now and into the future.

Time flies...do you know where it is going?
Do you seem busier than ever, but feel like you can't get anything accomplished?
This problem seems exaggerated by all of these high tech communication tools we use every day. Personally, I struggle with getting my “real work” accomplished while I respond to emails, phone calls, Internet research, and now social media. Even though I know how to manage it, I find it hard to have the discipline needed to spend time working on the "real work" instead of spending time on the “fun stuff”. Get… Continue

Summer is here, are your travel plans organized?
Well here it is, summer again. If you are travelling this summer, do you have your travel plans organized? I use a desktop filing system (called a SwiftFile) that contains individual folders for the 12 months and 31 days of the month. As I make reservations and receive confirmations, I place all of the documentation into my filing system in the folder for my departure date. If you don't use a system like this, make a hanging folder and label it "Upcoming Travel". You can put your d… Continue

New Productive Environment Platform (iPEP) technology is the future of information management!
I am so excited about a new productivity tool called the Productive Environment Platform or iPEP. It was created by the Productive Environment Institute and PBWorks (formerly PBWiki). The Productive Environment Institute (formerly Paper Tiger Productivity Institute), founded by the "Paper Tiger Lady" Barbara Hemphill, has developed many systems and strategies for office organizing and personal productivity over the years. This collaboration with PBWorks will revolutionize how we store… Continue

Making the most with tools you already have.
Late last night I finished my email newsletter on the topic of creating simple digital notebooks in Microsoft Word. A digital notebook is a digital "dumping ground" for information. You type notes into it, you cut and paste information from emails or websites, etc. I am not going into all of the details here. You can read more about it in my newsletter at http://tinyurl.com/d2ymxk.
