The Life Organizer: A Woman's Guide to a Mindful Year

<div>Meeting with clients, hauling the kids to soccer, supervising the kitchen remodel &#151; women today juggle so many commitments that many don&#8217;t find time to focus on their own dreams. First created for her own needs, Jennifer Louden&#8217;s <i>Life Organizer</i> is a datebook for the soul that helps women create the life they want. Divided into four sections, the first part defines &#147;inner organizing&#8221; and explains how to use the book. Next, Louden defines &#147;time monsters,&#8221; &#147;minimum requirements,&#8221; &#147;shadow comforts,&#8221; and other pertinent concepts. Fifty-two two-page spreads, one for each week of the year, include prompts for goal-setting and soul exploration. Stories accompanying each section show how other women have used the organizer to make a time for inner play and for finding the soul&#8217;s purpose. Most of all, the book helps women hold themselves gently accountable, giving them ideas to explore their inner needs and a place to record the progress they&#8217;ve made.</div>

"This wonderful book is a tribute to the sacred and very practical aspects of time management. If you want a more soulful, clear life, follow Jennifer Louden's advice."
-- Judith Orloff, MD, author of Positive Energy

"You are not holding in your hands a book. Instead, imagine a set of sacred nesting dolls that you open, one by one, each delighting you more than the last. As you get to the precious one in the center, you find your own heart. It whispers, `welcome home.'"
-- Dawna Markova, author of I Will Not Die an Unlived Life and cocreator of Random Acts of Kindness
