A-ten-hut! Enlist now for Dalton State College Continuing Education’s new class, Clutter Boot Camp. Taught by nationally-known professional organizer Allison Carter, this class can change disorganized lives for the better.
Organizing can be easy and fun if it fits the way your real world works, according to Carter. Her goal is to create systems that are simple and easy to maintain.
“In Clutter Boot Camp, I will march students through the obstacle course of organizing and offer strategies and tactics for organizing any space,” Carter said. “Whether you are an executive or a stay-at-home mom or dad, these real-world, real-life solutions can work for you. Students will leave the class armed with organizing principles and tips on getting started. Sometimes taking that first step can be the most difficult part.”
“I can’t believe that we have Allison Carter for a day,” said Kelly Snyder, personal enrichment program coordinator. “This is a coup. Allison is not only well-known and highly-respected in her field as an organizer, but add mentor, speaker and author to her resume, too. Allison created the Clutter Boot Camp class and teaches it in the Center for Lifelong Learning at Emory University in Atlanta with much success. She is a Certified Professional Organizer and a member of the National Association of Professional Organizers (NAPO). She is the past president of the NAPO-Georgia Chapter and is also the chief mentor and trainer of The Professional Organizer affiliates. ... She knows her stuff and she is loads of fun. ‘Putting the FUN in FUNctional’ is one of her tag lines, and it is so true for Allison. Students are going to really enjoy learning from her in this workshop.”
Clutter Boot Camp is Saturday, Nov. 14, from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. in the James E. Brown Center. Pre-registration is required and may be completed by logging on to www.daltonstate.edu/cce or calling (706) 272-4454.
“With the craziness of the holidays upon us, this class couldn’t be offered at a better time,” Snyder said. “Organization equals peace of mind. The clock is ticking for the college’s Continuing Education Department, so take advantage of this fleeting opportunity and register today.”
“You can reduce all kinds of stress in your life if you begin with an organized space and systems that work,” Carter concluded. “Think of this course as a gift to yourself, because the bottom line is this: When you clear the clutter from your life, you can focus on what is truly important to you.”
