Fortunate openings occur; but it is safe to remember that such
"breaks" are occurring all the time, and other things being equal, the
advantage goes to the man or woman who is ready." Lawrence Downs

B2B Article
$18,000 in un-cashed
checks found
CLIENT STORY --
While getting organized, client found $18,000 in un-cashed checks --
Jeannie contacted us to help her organize her home. She and her
husband and 2 teenage boys were at there wits end with the amount of
clutter and disorganization.
Her main concern was
the amount of paper that seemed to just accumulate and grow as the
days went by. We set to task organizing papers and creating a system
that worked for her.
During this process,
we found checks from the IRS, payroll checks we even found a few
rebate checks. The total amount of un-cashed checks found during our
three organizing sessions together totaled more than $18,000.
To Jeannie’s
amazement, many of the checks were accepted. However, many of the
checks were refused or had accounts closed due to the fact that the
checks were somewhere between three months and five years old. The
total amount she lost was approximately $4000.
CHALLENGES -- no
central location for incoming mail, no system for accounting or
depositing checks, filing system was inadequate for family needs
SOLUTIONS –
-
We placed a basket
just inside her home office door and informed every family member
that the mail and any action item required by Jeannie would be
placed in there.
-
We created a filing
system customized to her family’s lifestyle and the way she thinks.
-
She learned a way
to list and manage her tasks so that she could get the most
important and urgent tasks done first instead for the easiest first.
-
She is noticing the
techniques she learned for organizing her home office are flowing
over to her classroom, her garage and other area of her life.

Joke of the month
The Best Boss in the World
Smith goes to see his supervisor in the front office.
"Boss," he says, "we're doing some heavy house-cleaning at home
tomorrow, and my wife needs me to help with the attic and the garage,
moving and hauling stuff."
"We're short-handed, Smith," the boss replies. "I can't give you the day
off."
"Thanks, boss," says Smith, "I knew I could count on you!"
