Dinah Sanders
I offer planning, workflow, and productivity assistance to small businesses, individual professionals, and anyone interested in improving their life/work balance.
I'm different from the usual sort of consultant in that I am offering my skills in small chunks of focused work together, rather than coming in with "my system" and trying to waffle-iron it onto you. I believe that focus is available to anyone. It shouldn’t require thousands of dollars or expensive custom planners. All you need is to learn the techniques that work for you and, now and then, an outside perspective to help you get back on track.
My services are available in two forms: full sessions of 2.5 hours or 45 minute mini-sessions which focus in on specific areas. Full sessions are available in person in San Francisco. Mini-sessions are available by phone or in person.

About Dinah
The common thread through all the different kinds of work I've done in my life has been clearing roadblocks and getting processes functioning smoothly. Whether organizing requirements to design new web-based applications, using my communication skills as a writer on the topic of focused living, or presenting new ideas to diverse audiences, clarity and flow have been a constant theme. I love applying my experience to help others put good practices into into use and and reach their high-priority goals. My reputation as a trusted resource and my practical, effective methods are the key to my success with a wide variety of clients.
Here's what some of my clients have said about the experience:
"Dinah's insight into ways I could increase my efficiency and decrease my stress has been invaluable. With her focused, practical and client-centered approach, my time spent on staying on top of my in box has decreased, leaving me able to spend more time on what I enjoy about running my own business. She also provides meaningful and timely follow ups, keeping me motivated and energized about ways to continually improve my law practice management skills."
- Colette Vogele, Founder, Vogele & Associates PC
"Dinah literally helped me get my priorities straight, and now I have a better sense of how each of my individual projects are helping me move in the right direction. I now feel like I have a system in place to make sure all of my projects are manageable, and that the little things don't fall through the cracks. Thanks Dinah!!"
- Lila Bailey, Counsel, ccLearn
"After meeting with Dinah, I felt like my business had undergone a productive angioplasty. Her suggestions were like stents, removing the obstructions and allowing productivity to flow more smoothly through the workplace. Bravo, Dinah!"
