This book is dedicated . . .

to you, my busy friend,
in search of more time and a simpler lifestyle,

to my clients, who insist I teach them how to better manage their time
after I organize their offices and homes,

to Larry Nelson, a favorite client and friend, whose legacy reminds
me that you can live a full life of friends, productivity, and purpose
even if it is shortened by tragedy at age forty-seven,

and to my mother, Dorothy Rasmussen, age eighty-nine,
who outlived all our relatives
and reminds me that life can be satisfying at
every age and stage.

Life is a gift. Live it to its fullest by using your time well.
