Course Description
Tired of dealing with those piles of papers, clothes, or other objects that take up so much of your time figuring out what to do with? Or are you fed-up with your family complaining that you're a pack-rat? A clutter-bug? Or perhaps even something harsher?
- Do you save every single scrap of mail and paper that comes your way because you do not have a filing system that allows you to quickly decide what is essential, and what is trash?
- Are you a big "collector" who has all of these collections, but none of them are displayed?
- Does it take you more time to locate the stamps and envelopes, than it does to actually write a thank-you letter?
- Are your addresses and phone numbers spread out across many different "hiding spots"? Are some numbers on your cell phone, while others are on your lap top, and yet others are in a hard copy address book? Do you often have trouble remembering where to find each person's information?
- Does your family complain that you are a pack rat? A clutter bug? Perhaps, even something harsher, like -- a slob?
- Is your checkbook always out of whack? Do you bounce more than two checks a year? Do you know how much money is actually in your bank account right now?
If you answered "yes" to most or all (ouch) of these primary questions, you are probably taking this course for a very good reason.It is frustrating to have your plans and dreams thwarted by poor planning and preparation, and a confused, chaotic follow-through. It is depressing to constantly watch other, more organized parents and employees, achieve success after success, while you are struggling to merely get by on the skin of your teeth.
You were late to that presentation with your boss last week. You waited until the last minute to plan for your son's promised contribution to the bake sale. (You know, the one he did not tell you about until the night before.) And you wound up having to spend a small fortune going to the bakery and buying a professionally baked and decorated cake. You forgot to write the transaction down in your check register and, unfortunately, your light bill is going to bounce. Fortunately, your bank covers the check for you, but you are given a $25.00 insufficient funds fee, which starts a domino effect of growing debt.
It is no wonder your nerves are shot, your eyes are red, and you have absolutely no idea where the remote control or the TV guide are!
