A solution for your frustrating document searches

By March 4, 2015No Comments

How much time do you waste looking for personal information?

If you’re like me (before I listened to my mom), it’s probably more time than you’d like to admit.

If you have to moan, groan, look, get frustrated, give up, look again, sift through piles or scroll through an eternity of emails just to figure out how much more (or less) you’re paying for car insurance now compared to 3 years ago… you’re wasting life’s most precious resource — time.

Research shows that people lose several weeks PER YEAR looking for misplaced information. (I have a hard time believing it but my mom says she read it —  so it must be true 😉

Let me get really, super real with you. I don’t want to write this post.  But you should see the look on my mom’s face when I protest having to write this. She could care less that I’m having a horrible time trying to be clever and inserting one too many cheesy smiley faces.
She insists it’s important. Fine. But I pray that everyone learns this one quickly so I don’t have to write about effective paper management again. Ugh.

So here’s the deal. Effective paper management is one way to remarkably improve your life. Having your paperwork under control reduces stress in your life, not to mention it’s absolutely necessary for managing your money. An effective filing system is about having a “home” for your documents. If it takes you more than a few seconds to find a piece of paper then you are in need of a better filing system. By using an effective filing system (like the one we teach in the Organization workshop), you can avoid wasting time, resources, and frustration.

The centerpiece of our paper management system is our patent-pending organization kit which is made up of 2 sets of folders — 3 folders used for sorting mail/incoming docs and another dozen or so (depends on the individual) for your organizing and tracking your spending categories. You are welcome to create your own or you can purchase ours — at cost (of $45). Yes, that means we make no money from it.

So if you are in need of a better organization system, I invite you to join us at our upcoming workshops on Saturday March 14th.  For more information and to register, click HERE.

Oh, and if you’re wondering why we’re talking about paper (vs electronic docs) read this.
