None. Just keep in mind what Robert Fulghum said: "All I really need to know I learned in kindergarten." Description
You have everything to gain by getting organized. You know the benefits -- reduce stress, improve your image and relationships, save time, energy, and money. The problem is that you've tried to get organized before, and now you're back for more. So, why is it different this time? Because it's a whole new ball game with new rules. Rather than diving into the action first, we'll call a time-out to find out what roadblocks are standing in your way. You'll learn two simple formulas for getting organized. You'll plan ahead for what to do, when to do it, and how to get it done. You'll create your own action plan to have fun and win at organizing. Then, you'll attack, take charge, and succeed at organizing your life.
Objectives
Take a radically different view of organizing Understand what keeps you from getting and staying organized Learn the two basic organizing formulas Create a unique action plan for yourself Attack your paper, space, and time troubles Know that you can succeed like never before Course Materials

Must we always tell the truth? Are promises forever? Is it ever okay to spy on your child?
