Almost all the organizing books on the market today target the "left-brainer" - people who are generally disciplined, neat, and analytical. But for those who are more creative and spontaneous rather than logical and detail-oriented, help is on the way! In this book, Silber turns traditional organizing advice on its head and offers unique solutions that complement the unorthodox lifestyle of the creative "right-brainer."
For example: * Discover how right-brainers can be organized in a left-brain world * Overcome obstacles that stand in the way of being more organized * Pile, don't file - put paper in its place the right-brained way * Learn how being a "pack rat" can be a good thing
This creative new approach to getting it together is perfect for those who can't relate to boring traditional organizing techniques!

Organizing from the Right Side of the Brain: A Creative Approach to Getting Organized

Silber, Lee

St. Martin's: Griffin

Creative folks often know all too well that the muse doesn’t always strike when you want it to, or when the deadline for your next brilliant project is creeping up on you like an ill-fitting turtleneck. Originality doesn’t follow a time clock, even when you have to. While conventional time management books offer tons of instruction for using time wisely, they are traditionally organized in a linear fashion, which just isn’t helpful for the right-brain mind. In Time Management for the Creative Person, creativity guru Lee Silber offers real advice for using the strengths of artistic folks—like originality and resourcefulness—to adopt innovative time-saving solutions, such as: * Learning to say no when your plate is just too full * How to know when a good job, not a great one, is good enough * Making “to do” lists that include fun stuff, too—that way you won’t feel overwhelmed by work * Time-saving techniques around the house that give you more time to get your work done and more time to spend with your loved ones * The keys to clutter control that will keep your work space and your living space neat With these and lots of other practical tips, Lee Silber will help anyone, from the time-starved caterer rushing to prepare for her next party to the preoccupied painter who forgets when the electric bill is due, make the most of their time and turn the clock and the calendar into friends, not foes.

The “residents” of the beach park where Thomas and dozens of other homeless San Diegans sleep in their cars are strangely disappearing at a rapid rate. With the help of his twelve-year-old daughter, Big Mac begins rebuilding his life and clearing his name. But when the two get sucked into solving the mystery surrounding the park, Thomas realizes he has a lot to lose—but he puts it all on the line to do the right thing. If he succeeds, he’s a hero.

They say some people have all the fun— Sunshine Blake was one of those people. When Sunshine was a teenager she made a promise to herself to see the world and live a glamorous life. Nobody believed she could do it. Why would they? She was abused and abandoned by her parents and shuffled from foster home to foster home in the poorest part of the country. 
Yet Sunshine accomplished everything she set out to do—and then some. She traveled the world, succeeded in real estate, founded a cosmetics company, hung out with Hollywood’s elite, married in Morocco (and later escaped), appeared on television, sang on a country record, lived and explored Europe in a camper van, ran a resort in Fiji, and raised two sons as a single mom. 
Sunshine’s extraordinary life was a wild and exciting ride with twists and turns, ups and downs, and adventures all over the globe. She lived, she loved, she succeeded, and she failed. Her amazing story holds clues to how we can all live a full life with no regrets, no excuses, and no worries. Sunshine’s incredible life story can change yours.

Doc Skinner loved his players, his boat, and his life-now all three are in jeopardy. When Doc Skinner retired as the longtime hitting coach for the San Diego Padres, he lived a simple life aboard his boat at the Island Marina. Taylor James, one of his former (and favorite) players was in a cabin cruiser across the way, and the daughter of his closest friend stayed in a sailboat two slips over. When Doc and his boat suddenly disappear out of the blue, it's all hands on deck as the cast of characters from the marina search for their missing friend-unaware of the seriousness of the situation and the danger they are in. Did loan sharks (or real sharks) get Doc? Did it have something to do with what he gave to the waitress and her young son? Was it possible the coach just pulled up anchor and took off? It could be any of these scenarios, or none of the above.
