Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Organizing Matters demonstrates the interplay between two distinct logics of labour’s collective action: on the one hand, workers coming together, usually at their place of work, entrusting the union to represent their interests and, on the other hand, social bargaining in which the trade union constructs labour’s interests from the top down. The book investigates the tensions and potential complementarities between the two logics through the combination of a strong theoretical framework and an extensive qualitative case study of trade union organizing and recruitment in four countries – Austria, Germany, Israel and the Netherlands. These countries still utilize social-wide bargaining but find it necessary to draw and develop strategies transposed from Anglo-American countries in response to continuously declining membership.

Book excerpt: In the tradition of Octavia Butler, here is radical self-help, society-help, and planet-help to shape the futures we want. Change is constant. The world, our bodies, and our minds are in a constant state of flux. They are a stream of ever-mutating, emergent patterns. Rather than steel ourselves against such change, Emergent Strategy teaches us to map and assess the swirling structures and to read them as they happen, all the better to shape that which ultimately shapes us, personally and politically. A resolutely materialist spirituality based equally on science and science fiction: a wild feminist and afro-futurist ride! adrienne maree brown, co-editor of Octavia’s Brood: Science Fiction from Social Justice Movements, is a social justice facilitator, healer, and doula living in Detroit.

This book was released on 2008-05-08 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sandi created the Lifetime Medical Organizer for the love of her family during a medical crisis with her father. As she created organizers for others, she realized the value it provided beyond her family’s needs. This value is what Sandi emphasizes in the Lifetime Medical Organizer as she shares her story of how the organizer came to life and her step-by-step guide with helping others to establish their own organizer. Creating an organizer without instructions is like baking a cake without directions. It is difficult to record and organize important information, in the same way it is to mix ingredients, if you do not know how to begin. The Lifetime Medical Organizer includes narrative pages for every form included in the book to walk you through the steps that are easy to follow and simple to understand. While writing this book, Sandi focused on how she could help you and those closest to you, to better manage the process that many are unprepared to deal with until it is too late. Whether you create an organizer for yourself, or a loved one, it will provide you with greater peace of mind in knowing that you are better prepared to help those you love. In helping others, we shall help ourselves, for whatever good we give out completes the circle and comes back to us. –Flora Edwards

Download or read book Get Organized This Year written by Minding Matters Organizing and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2006-06 with total page 62 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Are you tired of wasting time looking for items? Do you suspect that a more organized home or workspace could increase the amount of time you have for fun activities? Do you get frustrated when you buy items only to find that you already had them? You will decrease stress, increase productivity, reduce frustration, and enhance your life balance if you organize your home, work, and time. The intention of this workbook is to help you bring order to your clutter without compounding any feelings of "overwhelm" that you may be experiencing. Although I will mention specific spaces such as your office, kitchen, and bedroom, most of the organizing principles in this workbook apply to any space and any desired level of organization. If you apply the principles outlined here and complete the monthly checklists, you will find yourself much more organized at the end of the year than you were at the beginning. And won't that be a great feeling? Here are a few of the checklist items you will find in this book: Have your name removed from the databases of businesses that sell marketing lists. One organization to contact is the Direct Marketing Association (www.dmaconsumers.org/consumerassistance.html). Fill out one form for each variation of your name. Establish a new habit: Each week, dispose of one unit of clutter (a unit can be a bag, box, drawer, container, file, etc.) in your most disorganized room. Recycle three empty boxes (I know that you have them ) that are simply taking up space. Remove a minimum of one book from one bookshelf and donate it to your local library or prison.
Download or read book The Art of Gathering written by Priya Parker and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2018-05-15 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Hosts of all kinds, this is a must-read!" --Chris Anderson, owner and curator of TED From the host of the New York Times podcast Together Apart, an exciting new approach to how we gather that will transform the ways we spend our time together—at home, at work, in our communities, and beyond. In The Art of Gathering, Priya Parker argues that the gatherings in our lives are lackluster and unproductive--which they don't have to be. We rely too much on routine and the conventions of gatherings when we should focus on distinctiveness and the people involved. At a time when coming together is more important than ever, Parker sets forth a human-centered approach to gathering that will help everyone create meaningful, memorable experiences, large and small, for work and for play. Drawing on her expertise as a facilitator of high-powered gatherings around the world, Parker takes us inside events of all kinds to show what works, what doesn't, and why. She investigates a wide array of gatherings--conferences, meetings, a courtroom, a flash-mob party, an Arab-Israeli summer camp--and explains how simple, specific changes can invigorate any group experience. The result is a book that's both journey and guide, full of exciting ideas with real-world applications. The Art of Gathering will forever alter the way you look at your next meeting, industry conference, dinner party, and backyard barbecue--and how you host and attend them.

Book excerpt: #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The book that sparked a revolution and inspired the hit Netflix series Tidying Up with Marie Kondo: the original guide to decluttering your home once and for all. ONE OF THE MOST INFLUENTIAL BOOKS OF THE DECADE—CNN Despite constant efforts to declutter your home, do papers still accumulate like snowdrifts and clothes pile up like a tangled mess of noodles? Japanese cleaning consultant Marie Kondo takes tidying to a whole new level, promising that if you properly simplify and organize your home once, you’ll never have to do it again. Most methods advocate a room-by-room or little-by-little approach, which doom you to pick away at your piles of stuff forever. The KonMari Method, with its revolutionary category-by-category system, leads to lasting results. In fact, none of Kondo’s clients have lapsed (and she still has a three-month waiting list). With detailed guidance for determining which items in your house “spark joy” (and which don’t), this international bestseller will help you clear your clutter and enjoy the unique magic of a tidy home—and the calm, motivated mindset it can inspire.
