to encourage and support people toward better productivity in
their homes, home offices, and places of business. While Mary
Lynne was "born organized", she realizes that many people
are not. "I believe everyone can raise the bar on their level
of organization, and thus productivity. The key is getting the
support and tools needed to effect a change."
Mary Lynne is convinced of the power of organizing. "When
your space is in order, you're more likely to realize your dreams.
Good things happen when you're organized™. My mission is
to inspire, encourage, and give hope to my clients to achieve
a fulfilling life."
Mary Lynne, a native Californian, grew up in a modest three bedroom
home. "My parents converted our garage to a family room;
storage space was limited. I learned from my parent's example
that 'letting go' was a normal (and necessary) part of living."
She says she has been organized her entire life, and can tell
stories to prove it!
Mary Lynne has written over fifty articles in the Contra Costa
Times column, "Get Organized." She is a member
of the National
Association of Professional Organizers (NAPO), and has earned
the CPO-CD® (Certified Professional Organizer in Chronic Disorganization)
designation from the National
Study Group on Chronic Disorganization, as well as the A.D.D.
Specialist Certificate. Mary Lynne enjoys coordinating an annual
pro bono organizing project for Get Organized Month each January,
and helping her clients "find anything in five seconds"
as an Authorized Paper Tiger Consultant.
Before starting It's About Time, Mary Lynne earned her Bachelor
of Science degree in Business Administration. She spent 20 years
in the marketing and management of multifamily properties, including
retirement housing, earning the coveted Certified Property Manager
(CPM) designation. She has been an ardent supporter of her children
in their schools and sports, and lives with her husband, two daughters
and their golden retriever in Walnut Creek, California.
