Welcome to this week's tips
Hi Everyone,
​
I took two days off this past week for a hard anniversary. So this weekend I was playing catch up. I played with 20 minutes work, 20 minutes house stuff, and 20 minute personal. It rarely ended up being exactly 20 minutes but it still helped me get through a lot of things. Mopping, planning March, writing, making yogurt, paying bills, yoga, laundry, etc.

Time to get March's Declutter Calendar:  

We had about 8 inches of snow last week and then two days later it's melted. But, Brea and I got out while there was still snow. Her pictures are below.

Simplify Your Money Systems Class

Re: New Simplify Your Money Systems Class – Limited Room – Starts March 7


I am looking forward to encouraging you and making dealing with finances less stressful.


What are your current money systems?

  • Trying to locate all your financial records only to end up with piles all over your office
  • Throw the financial stuff back in a file drawer – you don’t really want to see it
  • Pile on the desk, pile on the kitchen counter, pile on the dining room table, pile on the stairs to go upstairs
  • Reading a money book only to have your eyes glaze over with boredom
  • Starting a complicated computer system, then stop in frustration
  • Past due notices mean it’s time to pay your bills now
  • Hope there is money in your account

Sigh…

If any of those are you, it might be time to try a new system. Personalized for you.

Let’s take the steps that really produce results.
