Anne McDonald: I'll open up in prayer, go over protocol, then introduce our guest 

Lord, thank You for Your blessings and mercy. Thanks for creating us with a passion for writing...please guide our words so that we can be a blessing. Please be with each of our participants tonight, and especially our "professor" for the evening. Bless each of them and meet them at their needs. Let tonight's workshop glorify You. In Jesus' name, Amen.

grace: Amen 

Protocol reminder: When the floor is open to questions, please type ? for questions, ! for comments, and ga when you have finished typing. ga = go ahead and keeps us from stepping on each others' toes.

Tonight, I'm tickled to introduce a gifted writer and teacher. Please welcome Cyndy Salzmann.

Anne McDonald: Cyndy, thanks so much for coming.  

Cyndy Salzmann: Great to be here! I thought I'd start with some basic info and then open things up for questions. Sound okay? 

Anne McDonald: works for me 

* Annie turns the floor over to Cyndy and takes her seat 

Cyndy Salzmann: Great!  Are you trying to get organized so you have more time to write? Here are six rules guaranteed to make you more productive and more organized. 

Number one: Work with Yourself, Not Against Yourself. When you're trying to become more organized, it's tempting to try and fit into the existing organizing system of an "expert." They seem organized and they promise that if you try it, you'll be organized, too. 

What's more effective is to understand your personality and what works for you. There are MANY solutions and you may have to experiment to find the system that best fits the way you work--your mind, your body and the way you think. And this might be a combination of ideas from many different experts.
