Who is Happiness Strategies?
Happiness Strategies Pty Ltd is the company behind Get Organized Wizard.
Research has found that being happy is good for you and for everyone around you. If you’re happy you’re more likely to be mentally and physically healthy, cope well, be resilient, enjoy work, have good relationships, help others and like yourself more.
Everything we do at Happiness Strategies is designed to bring you more happiness - not just the short-lived, ’selfish’, hedonistic kind (which has its place, for sure!), but the more meaningful kind that comes from inside you and radiates from you into the world.
Happiness Strategies has a blog at www.HappinessStrategies.com where you’ll find resources to help you get happier. There are research findings, media report summaries, self-help ideas and the odd humorous take on happiness. There’s lots to explore!
Who is Michele Connolly?
That’s me - cute huh? Just jokes, Joyce. Truth is, I rarely take a good picture, so I’m just happy I found one that doesn’t scare the bejesus out of you.
I’ve had a lucrative corporate career, run a successful freelance writing business, gained degrees in business and psychology, and become a certified life coach. I’m big on happiness - written a thesis on happiness (under submission to a peer-reviewed journal), blogged about happiness, and taught myself how to be happy despite a charmingly neurotic and introverted temperament :-).
You’re probably wondering if I’m one of those people who organizes professionally but then turns up as a case study on one of Oprah’s Horror Hoarders shows. The truth is, my life really is organized. Home, wardrobe, office, computer, fitness, social life - even my iPod. What you’ll be seeing on the site and in the video podcasts is real - no styling, no faking. Sure, at times I’m at the ‘need-to-refresh’ stage of the cycle, but that’s part of the flow of life - it’s human to have times of pristine order and times of getting-toward-icky. Overall, though, order rules.
I claim no personal virtue for being organized. I’m organized because I have a system - to me that’s the key. Without a system you have to rely too much on willpower and hard work. Yuk!
What else? I’m 40, I live in Sydney, Australia (a beautiful place, but not as organized as Zurich, alas) with my husband Craig, and my beloved coffee machine, Cliff. I believe that blame, denial and excuses are sometimes justified, but always keep you stuck. Life is better when I make my own happiness.
