SOB Hall of Fame Entry: The NEAT LIVING Blog

Ariane Benefit Is Neat Too

The NEAT LIVING Blog is written by Ariane Benefit, M.S.Ed, a former corporate consultant turned professional organizer and life coach. She writes about simplifying, letting go of clutter, organizing, “ThinkBuying,” resisting consumerism, getting healthy, working with passion, charity, ethics, being clear about what’s really important, and having more energy, time and money to do what you really love!

Notes from Liz: The first comment Ariane made on Successful Blog was in-depth and articulate. It was almost a post in itself. It was a response to my post on designing a complex process. Ariane set me a challenge to write a similar post for designing a process in the virtual environment. I did. It turned out to be a great challenge and a great after-post conversation. Ariane’s blog is as fascinating and insightful as the woman herself.
