My friends know that one of my weaknesses is anything new under the sun that comes out in print about organizing. When I work with students on becoming more independent in organizing their materials, desks and backpacks they look at me like I'm a crazy woman, especially when I have them follow the steps in a flip-book we create of photos of their own desk as they work through the organizing process.
So, this article is pure "eye candy" and "creative fuel" for nuts like me:

Think there will be lots of applications to helping students and friends at school and at home.
The last sentence is my favorite one of the article. Sadly, I can't throw every scrap of paper away--at work or at home--but I can toss out quite a bit more than I have so far.

Please share positive ideas for helping students in public schools. Use other blogs and listservs for venting or discussing anything other than ideas for helping students, school staff and parents. Thanks.
