This week the topic is getting organized. How do you get and stay organized. Did you know that organization is actually a soft skill. It is what keeps us on track, helps us communicate and provides clarity when we are communicating with others. I'm sure you have had those moments where it felt like you couldn't organize a coherent thought to save your life. We all have. It's frustrating and can be embarrassing.
